It's hard to believe it's already time to say goodbye! On Wednesday evening, students said farewell to each other with a traditional exchange of flowers. Each student was given two flowers to share. Each flower was to be shared with words of appreciation or apology. We thank God for the blessing of friends we [...]
On Wednesday the Student Association provided a very fun picnic at Governor Dodge State Park. The unseasonably warm weather made it a perfect day for swimming and hanging out at the beach.

Spirit week is a fun opportunity to dress up (or down?) with costumes based on daily themes. On Monday, we either dressed up like socialites or like people from the [...]
"Batteries!" The word echoes across the gym as students scramble to find a battery in the pile of items their class brought from their dorm rooms. Once found, a runner speeds to the center of the gym and tries to place the batteries in a hula hoop circle before runners from the other three [...]
