Two days after school got out, the high school choir flew out to Colorado Springs for a 4 day adventure, filled with wonder, laughter, and many fond memories. Day 1 was visits to Garden of the Gods and the Olympic/Paralympic Training Center, where the group also had the chance to sing a short concert. Day 2 was whitewater rafting and whirlyball (think bumper cars + lacrosse). Day 3 was a cog railway ride up to Pikes Peak, where the group sang at 14,000 feet. That day the group also explored the Manitou Cliff Dwellings and enjoyed a chuckwagon supper and Country Western show at the Flying W Ranch. Day 4 was a visit to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, tucked into the side of a mountain. We thank Minds in Motion Travel for organizing and safely executing the trip for us. It was an experience of a lifetime!!

🎉 Congratulations, Nikki McCarty! 🎉 We are thrilled to celebrate your well-deserved recognition as the Campbellsport School District’s 2024-25 Semester 2 Edustaff Excellence Award winner! 🏆 Your dedication, hard work, and unwavering commitment to the students and staff of CSD are truly inspiring. Jackie Moran nominated Nikki and had this to say: “Nicole has held two long term sub positions this school year. First as an SEL teacher and second as our Reading Interventionist. Our students look forward to seeing her each day and she is always willing to take the extra step needed to help them grow. She has made such a difference for our kids this year, it’s going to be so different if we don’t have her in our building regularly next year! Nikki is so kind and empathic to all of our students - she makes them smile and in addition to her teaching role this spring, she was also a huge asset in setting up/carrying out our school wide reading challenge and our book fair.” Thank you for everything you do—your passion for excellence clearly does not go unnoticed and is genuinely appreciated by the staff and students that you impact every single day. We are so proud to have you as part of the Edustaff/CSD team! 👏👏👏
