Badger High School Breakfast with Santa and DECA Holiday Craft and Vendor Fair


Saturday, December 7, 2024, marks an early sighting of Santa Claus at Badger High School. The Music Department fundraiser runs from 8:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. Plenty of music and youth activities surround the family breakfast, an annual event at the school.


The affordable breakfast is free to children ages two and younger, kids three to 12 eat for $8, and adults are $10 each. Tickets are available at the door. Ample parking is available on school grounds.

From 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., dozens of vendors will be set up at Badger again this year for the Annual Badger DECA Holiday Craft and Vendor Fair. Enter on the East Side, door 14, and head into the Sports Center. FREE Admission, Raffles, and more.

Help Hunt Off Hunger! Join Badger High School and the Department of Natural Resources in supporting our community this holiday season! We're collecting canned goods and non-perishable food items to help those in need. Drop off your donations at the Badger High School Main Office anytime from now until December 5, 2024, between 7:35 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.


We are competing against Delavan High School and Big Foot High School. The winning school will have the HEAVIEST DONATION - SO THE WEIGHT OF ITEMS MATTERS!


Badger will donate our haul to the Lake Geneva Food Pantry, which will go directly back into our community. Together, we can make a difference! Let’s spread some holiday cheer!

Junior Conferences

Junior conferences will be starting after our Thanksgiving break on the week of December 2nd. Please watch your email for information on how you can sign up to attend with your student. These meetings will cover information that’s important for your student’s success in senior year and beyond. These meetings will be approximately 45 minutes and will be held between 7:00am-2:30pm.

 

Pathways to Success Night

The Badger High School Counselors along with the College and Career Readiness Coordinator will be hosting a Course Guide & Course Selection Informational Meeting in the Auditorium and a Badger Scholarship Program Informational meeting in the Recital Hall on Wednesday, December 11th at 5:30pm. Join us to gather information that will help your student plan their path or explore all of their scholarship opportunities.

 

FAFSA

The 2025-2026 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) will open on December 1, 2024. In the meantime, we strongly recommend you create your account and FSA ID. Your account username and password combination, called your FSA ID, gives you access to certain information online and allows you to sign your FAFSA® form and promissory notes electronically. While you can get your FSA ID as you’re completing the FAFSA form online, getting it ahead of time and using it to fill out the FAFSA form on fafsa.gov cuts down on errors and delays. Visit studentaid.gov for more information.

 

Holiday Stress

The holiday season is all about giving — and that includes giving yourself whatever you need to reduce stress so you can fully appreciate and find meaning during this time. Because stress affects people in different ways, this can look different for everyone. For some people, it means having time each day for meditation. For others, it means getting plenty of sleep or exercise — or both. Eating nourishing foods, keeping a gratitude journal, and maintaining a normal schedule are other ways that people take care of themselves. If you are at a loss for which self-care activities work best for you, here’s an idea of something you can try: make time to do one thing each day that makes you happy. Incorporating joy into your life and reconnecting with the things that mean the most to you is, frankly, what the holidays are all about.

Badger Library 

The Badger Library and FabLab will be hosting its 5th Annual Make-and-Take Workshops and stations during December. Students are invited to visit the Library and FabLab during their study hall or before/after school to participate. Thanks to generous donations from staff members, students can use our free holiday card and gift wrapping station. Again this year, Badger Library received generous donations from staff members to have gift wrapping and holiday card stations available to all students the entire month. Workshops will include upcycled book decorations and laser-cut personalized wooden ornaments handmade by each student. As always, Badger Library and FabLab workshops are free-of-charge to Badger students.
