The #VanguardPride students are enjoying this weather!
Our #VanguardPride 7th graders adventured to the Milwaukee Public Museum. This was an educational experience that brought to life their learning from 6th and 7th grade curriculum. It's great when our students are able to go out and see what they're learning in class!
#VanguardPride high school students interested in possible manufacturing careers recently toured Plastic Ingenuity in Cross Plains. Plastic Ingenuity is passionate about creating a great and long lasting work environment for their employees, and they have strong ties to the community. Students were able to explore the thermoforming process from start to finish, as well as learn about youth apprenticeship opportunities!
You are invited to the 5 year commemoration of The Future Search.
Join us to hear about the progress made on our strategic directions (it's quite impressive) and what work is still in our exciting future.
#VanguardPride runs strong in our community!

Mrs. Johnson's #VanguardPride 6th Grade Science students dissected a lima bean seed. Students prepared their seeds the day before by soaking in water for 24 hours, made predictions, and drew pictures of what would be inside of the seed. The kids were able to use a toothpick to remove the seed coat and open the seed to discover the seed embryo. WHMS students continue to explore the world of life science!

This morning, #VanguardPride students at Wisconsin Heights Elementary school met with folks from Justice for a Cure and officers from the Dane County Sherriff's Office. As part of the World Cancer Day Ribbon/Card Project, kids throughout the school colored cancer ribbons to give to those who are currently battling cancer. The kids handed the ribbons to each police officer and got to talk to our visitors from JFAC.
The kids had fun making the ribbons, and we're honored to be able to brighten up the day of cancer fighters in our area! 🎗

Students in Mrs. Johnson's 6th grade Science class, spent the last day before break drawing pictures of their bread from the classroom Moldy Bread Lab.
Students were able to discuss what caused the bread to mold, how mold spores are created and spread, as well as conditions which caused the lab to take much longer than expected. 6th graders discussed how preservatives and temperature play a part in the speed in which bread molds.
#Vanguard Pride 6th Graders continue to develop their ability working on the CER (Claim, Evidence, Reasoning) strategy.
