We ended our day with a fun surprise for our K–2nd grade students… an Easter egg hunt! 🐰🥚 A huge thank you to Bethel Church “Eggstravaganza” for donating over 1,000 eggs for the third year. Each egg was filled with candy, instant win prizes like McDonald’s dessert coupons 🍦, marshmallow Peeps, and even QR codes for a chance to win big prizes like a Great Wolf Lodge stay 🐺🏨
The students had an absolute blast running, searching, and celebrating together! 🎉 To make it even more exciting, two Easter bunnies and a chick made a special appearance during the hunt 🐰🐰🐣
Such a fun way to wrap up an eventful day in Mrs. Smith’s class! 💕

One boy bunny and one girl bunny showed up in their very bouncy inflatable suits and decided to help our Safety Patrol get students safely across the crosswalk 🚸👏
The girl bunny took her job VERY seriously, striking her best pose 📸 to remind everyone that the 📚 BOOK FAIR 📚 is happening this week in the elementary/middle school library, even during conferences! Stop by and check it out… because as she says, “Bunnies LOVE to read!” 🐇📖💖
Meanwhile… the boy bunny may have gotten a little too confident hopping off the curb 😅💥 (don’t worry, he’s okay, just slightly less graceful than expected)
At one point, things got a little… competitive 🫣 The safety patrol flags turned into “swords” and suddenly we had a full bunny duel in the crosswalk ⚔️🐰🐰. We’re still not sure who won, but we ARE sure it was hilarious 😂
A huge THANK YOU to Owen Langehennig and Maleah Stewart for being such great sports and bringing the bunny magic to life 🐰✨
And thank you to Jessica Waslter for sharing this egg-cellent story with us! 🥚💛
Stay safe, keep reading, and keep hopping into the library this week! 📚🐰

They took a walking field trip to Carlisle Lake to watch Onalaska High School Aquaculture students release fish into the water 🐟💧
So much learning, fresh air, and real-world science in action! 🌎✨
Way to go, future scientists! 👏🧪

Mrs. Smith’s class is excited to share that we now have 11 chicks 🐥
Students were thrilled and even got to witness some chicks right after they hatched. It was such an unforgettable moment to see them enter the world 💛
A big thank you to Bubba for coming in and giving students the opportunity to gently hold a chick. It was a very special experience for everyone 🤲🐣
We also welcomed other classrooms who stopped by to meet our newest arrivals. The excitement continues to grow as more chicks are expected soon 😊

Thanks to Bubba Iverson for generously lending us his incubator and eggs, our students are getting a hands-on look at the life cycle of a chicken as part of our Knowledge curriculum.
All three second grade classes had the opportunity to watch as Bubba demonstrated how to candle the eggs and observe the movement inside. It was an amazing experience to see life developing right before our eyes 👀
We currently have 25 eggs in the incubator and can’t wait to welcome our chicks during the last week of the month 🐥
Stay tuned for updates as we get closer to hatch day 💛

Onalaska Middle School 6th grade students will be participating in the 33rd Annual Student Green Congress. 🌿📊🎉
We are proud of their hard work and excited to see them represent our school! 👏💚
As I made their root beer floats 🥤🍦, students shared what type of matter was in each step. Then they made predictions about what would happen when we combined a solid (ice cream) and a liquid (root beer). 🤔
As we observed, students noticed how a gas formed with bubbles and foam! 💨🫧
Many said it was their favorite experiment yet. It was a fun and tasty way to celebrate all their learning about matter! 🎉😄
Unfortunately, no one was able to catch Lucky the Leprechaun, but he sure had fun causing some mischief in our classroom 😄 He left behind tiny footprints, made a BIG mess in the classroom, and even swapped out the gold coin in their traps for a green one! 🪙➡️💚
Luckily, he was also very kind, he left each student in Mrs. Smith's classroom a special treat on their desk, including a mini leprechaun hat 🎩, green Ring Pop 💍, a shamrock necklace ☘️, and a chocolate gold coin 🍫
It was a fun and exciting day for everyone! 🎉
From planning and creating to testing their designs, this activity sparked creativity and problem solving in the best way 🛠️💡
We love seeing learning come to life like this 💚
A great experience in civic leadership and learning how our state government works firsthand!
After learning about the voting process and holding their own election, kindergarteners decided who would win recess duty and a dance party with the class. The candidates were the squirrel and Superintendent Mrs. Padgett.
The votes were counted and the squirrel won! 🎉🐿️
Mrs. Padgett still earned a respectable 4 votes.
To celebrate, the class enjoyed a fun squirrel dance party full of smiles, laughter, and great moves.
Learning and fun make the best kind of day! 💃🕺
⚾️ Big shoutout to some amazing community members who helped get our fields game ready!
A huge THANK YOU to Nathan and Dessirae McBee, owners of Mudslingers, for stepping up in a big way. Nathan volunteered his equipment and expertise to get our Babe Ruth and High School boys baseball field ready to go. We truly appreciate your support!
We also want to recognize Grandpa Ken Durham, Justin Grace, Jim Kinsman, and Cim Richardson for their hard work and dedication.
Nathan also helped with the Girls High School field alongside Jim Kinsman, Cody Burton, Tug Zandell, and of course Grandpa Ken, who is always there helping keep our fields in tip top shape!
This is what community is all about. We could not do it without you all! 🙌⚾️

Miss Dakota Angell brought a little 3rd grade magic to the office as she taught our staff all about Addition Pyramids! From problem solving to a few “aha!” moments, it was a fun reminder that learning never stops, no matter your age.
We loved getting a glimpse into the creativity and excitement happening in our classrooms every day. Thank you, Miss Angell, for the lesson and for keeping us on our toes! 💜
