Here are some more #VanguardPride 4th graders exploring different types of beaks and discovering what beak works best for each food item!
It's all part of their unit on animal structure in science.
4th graders are learning about how the structure of beaks are built to fit their function. The kids tested it out by trying to pick up various items (rice, beans, noodles, and string) with different kinds of beaks (chopsticks, clothespin, spoon). They learned that a straight, long beak is not great for picking up ants!
Some pretty cool learning going on in our schools!

This 3rd grade student from Ms. Gullickson's class earned a reward for being respectful, responsible and safe at school. He chose to read to a 4k student in Ms. Frannie's class.
How fantastic is that choice!!!!

Our next #VanguardPride new staff shoutout is to our new Elementary School Special Education Educational Assistant, Morgan Turner!
Morgan grew up in Middleton but now lives in Avoca. She has over 10 years of horse experience, some of which was helping to teach kids how to ride. She has also worked with toddlers in a childcare setting. She's an FFA alumni and an adult volunteer for the Wisconsin Heights Energizers 4-H Club.
Morgan graduated from Wisconsin Heights in 2018 and is currently attending Southwest Wisconsin Technical College for an associate degree in Midwifery. She loves to crochet, bake, read, color, work with animals, garden, and play video games. She and her family also enjoy playing card games and board games.
When asked what excites her most about coming to Wisconsin Heights she said "giving back to the community that helped me so much through my tough years to become the adult and mom I am today. I am also excited to be back in a learning environment where my mind can flourish and I can smile everyday!"
She also shared this about herself: "I have a daughter (Laney Ohlin, 7) here at the district, a step-daughter (McKenzie Holmes, 15) that goes to Mt. Horeb, a pit bull named Stitch (she’s a rescue, and the best!) My fiancé, James Ambrose, is a great dad and is a helpful teaching resource. From farming and flying, to horses and drawing, to Japanese culture and Norwegian culture, we learn and help others grow!"
Welcome back, Morgan! We're glad to have you on the team!
Exploring the world from the classroom! 🌎✨
Mrs. Schmitt's 7th-grade students researched diverse locations, highlighting their physical and human characteristics to create vibrant posters.
A journey of discovery right at their fingertips! AWESOME!!!!

Youth Night!
Any youth boys or girls can come out on the field with the players at 6:15 to go through pre-game stretching.
Anyone interested should show up at 6:00pm and can wait for the players to come out the Hwy 14 side entrance door to walk with with them to field.
Youth players should wear anything #VanguardPride Heights related or their favorite football jersey.
At the end of the game players will be throwing out small footballs and signing the team posters if time allows.
4th graders in Mrs. Nimmow’s class prepared for their first unit assessment in math by playing Capture the Flag. What a fun way to prepare!
