Artists from Mrs. Olson's Bangor HS Art classes and from Mrs. Dahl's Black River Falls HS Art classes did a collaboration project that is hanging at CESA 4 in West Salem for the month of Feb. The project is titled, "Hearts of Kindness". Each student in Mrs. Olson's Drawing & Art Survey class created an 8x8 painted cardboard background to exchange with a BRF student and vice versa. Students then created a heart related artwork on top of the background they received. In addition, students wrote about themselves and included a photo weaving of themselves.
Students in Ms. Beckman’s Anatomy and Physiology class created models and station cards about the parts of the Central Nervous System. Each student was responsible for researching their topic, creating a card to inform their classmates about it and make a model that shows what it would look like inside the body.
Girls Basketball will not have a JV game tonight at Wonewoc-Center. They will play Varsity only at 7:00 PM.

Traffic Flow Update
The concrete will be poured for our new weight room and locker room floors in front of the MS/HS on Friday of this week and next week on Monday and Tuesday. This is a lengthy process and will require multiple extra vehicles in our front drive during morning drop-off times. For this reason, through traffic in front of the MS/HS will be limited to buses only on Friday, Monday, and Wednesday. Please plan accordingly and allow the space needed for progress to continue on our construction projects!

The 8th Grade Agriculture class recently wrapped up their unit on Agritourism and Agriculture Literacy. Agritourism is a form of tourism where visitors engage in activities related to agriculture, farming, or rural life. It usually involves farm tours, engaging activities, agricultural education, and more! Agricultural literacy is the knowledge, understanding, awareness, and appreciation of agriculture. Students had the opportunity to meet with Bret Miller, owner of Hidden Trails Corn Maze in West Salem. Bret was able to share some valuable information with students about his family owned operation including the awesome fact that their farm has been in the family for over 120 years! Hidden Trails Corn Maze has been operating since 1998, making them one of the longest operating mazes in the state. Make sure to check them out come September! Thank you Bret for taking the time to meet with us!
