Campbellsport Middle-High School

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!

Trimester 1 ends Friday and we have no school Wednesday-Friday next week for Thanksgiving Break.

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.

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.
