In 8th Grade Science, students are learning about Earth Systems, specifically diving into the Geosphere. This week, students wrapped up their Mineral Lesson with a crystal structure lab using modeling clay and toothpicks. The goal: make a repeating structure that can withstand 450 g of mass for as long as possible. This mimics the pressure deep within Earth where rock pressure is very high. Cool stuff!
Congrats to this week's Caught Being Good Winners. Way to go, middle school students!
We are excited to share that our 6th-grade students participated in a special educational field trip to Ashley Furniture’s Arcadia facility this week in celebration of National Manufacturing Month.
The behind-the-scenes tour provided students with a unique opportunity to explore modern manufacturing processes firsthand. During the visit, they learned about the manufacturing process and gained valuable insights into the diverse range of careers available in the industry.
The middle school held its school safety intruder drill last Friday. We would like to thank Trempealeau County Officer Stoner and City of Galesville Officer Dahl for attending and providing feedback on our drill, as well as taking the time to speak with students and answer their questions.

The 6th-grade choir celebrated the end of their rotation by performing a mini-concert for some staff members. It was great to see all the smiling faces and especially the energy from the new choir director, John Krull.
The middle school cross country team had a busy week. First, the team rushed to the Galesville Public Library to assist with carrying boxes of books in preparation for the Apple Affair book sale. They made a long task into short work while staying active and having fun. Secondly, they did a garbage run and cleaned up our school grounds while still getting a run in.
💻✨ Our Redhawk students are not just learning about Digital Citizenship—they’re leading the way!
In Ms. Truax’s Applied Communication class, students dove into what it means to be safe, smart, and responsible online. Now, they’re turning their learning into action by creating projects to teach others!
From letters to the School Board and current event presentations, to quizzes, explainer videos, podcasts, posters, infographics, and even public service announcements—students had the choice to showcase their learning in the way that inspired them most.
👏 We’re so proud of their creativity, critical thinking, and commitment to sharing such an important message with our school community!

This week our business explore class brainstormed inventions to solve simple life problems. They were tasked at creating a speech and pitching it to the class (like Shark Tank!) This session's inventions included a new container to clean out your peanut butter jar, an automatic fish feeder, a cooling and heating blanket, and so much more!
Students had the opportunity to attend Special Festers as part of their community-based Instruction, where they explored new environments, practiced social skills, and engaged in real-world learning experiences. These outings not only enhanced their independence and confidence but also allowed them to connect with their community in meaningful and enjoyable ways.
Students in 8th-grade US history enjoyed acting out a mock trial about the impact of Christopher Columbus. A trial of witnesses, evidence, and lawyer arguments was acted out by the students (There were some amazing opening and closing statements!). At the end of the trial, a jury of students decided on how historians should view Christopher Columbus. Additionally, all students also wrote their opinion in a graded short response.
Please take a look at the impressive sewing skills of our 8th-grade students. These FCS students, taught by Ms. Burritt, worked hard to prepare their projects.
The middle school would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated to our food drive! This was our biggest collection to date, with over 1,000 items donated.
Congratulations to the 7th grade, who won the award for the most items collected by a class. They’ll be enjoying a special ice cream treat soon, thanks to another generous donation.
We also had some fun incorporating the food drive into our annual homecoming float, bringing school spirit and community service together.
