We are in the homestretch of this extraordinary school year. May is the month of celebrations at Badger. National Honors Society is inducting new members, Underclass awards and Senior Awards and Scholarship events all mix with athletic competitions and season celebrations. Our Fine Arts Department has Monday concerts throughout the month as well. Please see the flyer above for a complete listing. Please check the dates below for a full listing of special events leading up to graduation.
The semester final exams are around the corner. Help your student finish the year strong by checking PowerSchool for grade updates, having conversations about what supports may be needed to achieve in some classes, and reach out to teachers and staff for assistance if needed. Also, celebrate the accomplishments of your student in the classroom and on the field for the 2021-22 school year.
I hope that during this month of frenetic activity, you and your family find time to pause and consider all the positive moments we’ve had as a Badger community and as individual families during this year. I am very proud of our senior class and all they’ve accomplished in their four years as a Badger.
