We just wanted to send out a huge "Thank you!" to our parents for all the thoughtful gifts this holiday season. We had one parent group go above and beyond, providing a pizza lunch, breakfast, and a new microwave, toaster, and silverware for the staff lounge. It was incredible, and we are so grateful for everyone's generosity!"
Congrats to our Caught Being Good Winners. This month, we held an extra drawing for students, giving them the chance to win a gift card to the Harvest and Gale Lanes.
On Wednesday, December 17th, our 8th-grade students traveled to Western Technical College for Career Day. During the visit, students heard from a variety of career speakers and had the opportunity to ask thoughtful questions and explore different career pathways. This experience was a valuable step in helping students begin thinking about their future plans.
Noetic Learning Math Contest Winners
This fall, 28 7th-grade students competed in the Noetic Learning Math Contest. This competition is held nationwide and designed to challenge students with complex, non-routine problems that go beyond standard classroom math. The contest emphasizes critical thinking, problem-solving, and perseverance, encouraging students to apply multiple strategies and explain their reasoning.
For this competition, awards were given. Our School Winner was Joe Fowler. He earned the highest score among all participants at our school. Receiving National Honorable Mention were Joe Fowler, Jeremiah Gorsett, and Ryder Thoma. Honorable mention means their scores ranked them among the top performers across the country. This recognition reflects outstanding achievement at a national level and highlights the student’s ability to compete successfully with peers from schools nationwide.
Our 7th graders will have the opportunity to compete again in the spring. Congratulations to all who participated!

GET Middle School students had the opportunity to hear Denise and Kim Rostad share the remarkable story of their mother, Mary Rostad. During World War II, Mary participated in the Belgian Resistance and the French Underground. Her book, Squirrel Is Alive, is studied in 7th-grade ELA classes to deepen students’ understanding of the Holocaust and World War II.
Students were highly engaged during the presentation and asked many thoughtful questions. Thank you to Denise and Kim Rostad for visiting GET Middle School and sharing this powerful history.

Our FCS class finished up last week with a taste test! Our 8th-grade students evaluated Crumbl cookies, then rolled up their sleeves to create their own imitation recipes. From flavor profiles to texture tests—these chefs-in-training are nailing it!
This year, the middle school is recognizing outstanding student effort, behavior, and ability by giving out Student of the Term awards. Each term, teachers nominate different students, discuss their accomplishments, and then select one from each grade level. Students then have the opportunity to call home to share the news with their family and enjoy a family celebration breakfast. Way to go, students.
Congrats to our Caught Being Good Winners. This month, we held an extra drawing for students, giving them the chance to win a Subway gift card and the other one to pick where they want it to go.
Today, the middle school had its first attendance prize drawings. Students who were absent for two or fewer days of school were eligible to win one of three Amazon gift cards. We were excited to announce that 229 students met the criteria. Mauro Feria Sandoval was missing from his winning photo.

Agriculture One students explored the dairy industry through a fun, hands-on activity—making homemade ice cream in a bag! It was a sweet way to learn about the process behind one of Wisconsin’s favorite products.
Last Friday, our Middle School students designed their pumpkins to see if they could survive the big drop! Thanks to the amazing GET Fire Department, it was a blast! Special thanks to firefighters Pat Connelly, Brandon Page, Riley Kirkey, and Jason Lee, who were on site that day.
To show our appreciation, Life Skills students baked and decorated cupcakes as a sweet thank-you. We’re so grateful for your support and for making this such an unforgettable experience for our school! 🧁🎃

The middle school would like to take a moment to give a big shout-out to Schewertel Family Farms for their continued support of our school! They’ve supported us many times, and just last week, they generously donated a large number of pumpkins for our Fall Fun Day. We truly appreciate their kindness and community spirit!
As part of the middle school's Fall Fun Day, student groups designed a way to protect a pumpkin from a 30-foot drop. ( Great Pumpkin Drop) Students brought in supplies from home and made all kinds of designs. We even ended up with four winning groups.
A huge "Thank you!" to the Galesville Fire Department for their help today. They did such a fantastic job, and the kids loved it.

A small group of our GET 8th grade students who were selected for their participation and interest in STEM activities presented at Advanced Manufacturing Day at Western Technical College. The students presented their STEM project where they designed their own challenge, obstacle course, and a robot that could complete the task. The students have been working on that project a few times a week for a month. The students also got a chance to participate in three activities in WTC’s new training center; 3D bridge building, engraving, and operating robotic coding. A special thanks to Bremer Bank for funding our school’s participation in this great event.
This past Friday GET FCCLA members attended the Fall Leadership Conference where they connected with new friends, gained valuable skills and were inspired to lead with purpose.
