Campbellsport School District

Hard work pays off! 🎉 Our 6th grade students earned some festive fun to celebrate the holiday season after giving their best each day in class. We’re so proud of their perseverance and positive choices! ❄️✨

Back in October, Campbellsport High School’s National Honor Society raised funds at the Fall Festival for its first-trimester service project. On December 16, the officers of NHS proudly donated the $1,000 raised to Project Angel Hugs, a nonprofit organization that brings joy to children affected by cancer through special gift boxes sent during their treatment journey.

All athletic contests have been canceled for tonight. Any practices will end at 5:00 pm.

Mrs. Ballard's atomic models were from the 1950's and were falling apart! Unfortunately, you can't buy these models this big anymore, and smaller versions are hundreds of dollars. But Mr. Hein and Izzy came to the rescue! Izzy created the designs from scratch on Solidworks, and Mr. Hein helped her print them on the Tech Ed department's 3D printer. What a great collaboration to solve a problem that all chemistry students can now benefit from.

Our 7th & 8th grade STEM students have been busy getting creative and hands-on! Students used the bandsaw to carefully cut out Christmas trees and other festive shapes, then sanded and painted their projects to make them their own.

Our 6th grader, Max, was featured at the Wisconsin Herd game this past Saturday after being selected as one of the top artists out of 2,900+ students from 30 schools across Wisconsin. His artwork was showcased on the game-worn jerseys, an incredible honor and achievement!

Pep Band has been cancelled for tonight’s basketball game.

Stay tuned for their next performance!

Schedule Update: Please note that the Middle–High School Band concert originally scheduled for this week has been rescheduled to Monday, December 22nd at 7:00 p.m.

Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to seeing you there!

NO SCHOOL TODAY! All Campbellsport Public and parochial schools are closed today.

This trimester 6th graders in Agriculture have started exploring plant science. They were able to plant the sprouted lettuce into the hydroponics tower. The 6th graders will observe the growth of the lettuce throughout the quarter, while the high school plant science courses will manage the nutrients and pH levels throughout the remainder of the school year! The goal of the hydroponics tower is to provide hands-on experience to students on how to grow a large quantity of fresh produce efficiently in less space!

Holiday spirit in action! 💙🎁 Our CMS Student Council toy drive collected an amazing variety of gifts, pajamas, art supplies, and more for Operation Christmas Angel. Thank you to everyone who donated to help us support military families in Wisconsin his holiday season. Your generosity makes a difference!

CHS's National Honor Society will be hosting a blood drive this year with the help of ImpactLife! We are still looking for more people to donate, so if interested scan the QR code on the flyer. Happy Holidays!

Prior to the Thanksgiving holiday break, the CHS Student Council ran a week long food drive, followed by FFA’s Fill the Truck event, and both were huge successes! Together, the two groups teamed up for an awesome collaboration to support our local community.

We’re excited to share that 475 items were donated! A special shoutout to our Senior Class, who brought in the most items! Also congrats to Mr. Elliott for winning the 50" flat screen TV. Your donations are truly appreciated.

Thank you to everyone who contributed and helped make a difference!

Thanksgiving break is November 26–28th. Wishing everyone a safe and enjoyable break with family.

The boys basketball game tonight versus Kewaskum has been canceled. Look out for a future rescheduling.

6th grade STEM class had a great time building catapults and testing them out!

In mid November, the 6th grade students created a proposal utilizing a budget of $10.00 - $11.00 for a classroom treat from Piggly Wiggly. We then used the process by which a bill becomes a law to narrow down and decide on one idea for the class. A tax donation from each student of $0.50 will help fund this activity. During this activity, students were able to assume the role of a senator or representative and take part in debates with fellow congress members about their personal views and ideas. The treat that passed the process will be enjoyed by the citizens of each class on Monday, November 24th.

How do ectotherms (fish) respond to temperature changes? How do they maintain homeostasis? Do we (endotherms) respond the same way? Just a few questions the biology students are investigating with our resident goldfish. Don't worry, not a single fish was harmed in the process.

This week in the Media Center, 6th students participated in a Genre Café—a fun and engaging way to explore different types of books! During our “book tasting,” students sampled a variety of genres to discover new favorites and expand their reading interests.

Book “tastings” help students:
Explore a wide range of genres and authors.
Develop stronger reading preferences and confidence as readers.
Learn how to identify genre characteristics.
Build excitement and curiosity about trying new books.

Ask your student which “flavor” of book they enjoyed most at our café!

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.
