CSD HONORS OUR VETERANS! We would like to recognize and thank all veterans, past and present, for their service to our great nation. Pictured are CSD veterans Dr. Sally Kellman - Army, Samantha Soyk - Air Force, Michael Gilhaus - Navy, Christopher Maki - Navy, Mike Meilahn - Army, and Allen Renderman - Navy (not pictured). Each received a wooden flag plaque made by our Tech Ed Dept. Veterans Day commemorates the end of major hostilities of World War I at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918. Begun as Armistice Day in 1919, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed legislation changing Armistice Day to Veterans Day, "a day dedicated to world peace," in 1954. The day honors all veterans of the U.S. armed services.

Today our students and staff came together for a meaningful Veterans Day ceremony. The CFD Honor Guard opened the event with the Presentation of Colors, followed by a beautiful performance of the National Anthem from our High School Choir. Middle school students shared poetry readings that highlighted the significance of the day, and Mr. Meilahn spoke from the heart about what Veterans Day means to him. We also had the honor of presenting plaques, designed and crafted by Mr. Hein and Gavin Pickering, to the veterans who work within our building: Dr. Kellman, Mr. Gilhaus, Mr. Meilahn, Mr. Maki, and Ms. Soyk.

Thank you to every veteran who attended, and to those in our community and beyond who have served our country with courage and commitment. We are grateful for your service and sacrifice.

Happy Veterans Day from the Campbellsport School District. Today, we remember and honor all who have served or are actively serving. Thank you, Veterans!

Last week, Mr. Merkes took his Outdoor Survival classes to the school forest to build survival shelters. The students learned great emergency skills and studied a variety of different shelter types before the project began. Both classes did a tremendous job and showed off some creativity and teamwork!

This week CHS will be having a food drive. Please encourage your students to bring in items for the chance to win a TV! Winner will be announced at the end of the week! Good luck!

This week CHS Student Council President, Sawyer Immel, and Vice President, Emily Ohme, donated $200 worth of Piggly Wiggly gift cards to the Campbellsport Food Pantry. This money was raised during the Homecoming week activities and events, including the Powder Puff and Macho Man competitions.

Maxwell Nolan was recently named as one of the five winners of The Wisconsin Herd BMO Art Contest! There were 2,900+ students that participated from 30 schools across the state of Wisconsin. Max won a custom jersey, some cool swag, and tickets to the game where his artwork will be featured.

Each student that participated will have the opportunity to participate in an Art Contest parade at this game, and bring their artwork to the game to be recognized on the court pre-game during the parade. If they wish to participate, their family can sign up on the link below, and they should bring their artwork home from school until the game. You can also just show up to watch some basketball and support Max even if you did not participate.
