Think about joining the Makerspace Club!!! This club is an excellent
opportunity for students that love to tinker, create, problem solve, and
use their imagination. As a part of Makerspace Club, you will have the
option to work on free-choice projects, team challenges, or guided projects
each week. Some things the members can look forward to are: STEM
activities such as creating simple circuits, crafts using basic power
tools, and almost anything else you have in mind! To get more information
about Makerspace Club please attend one of our *informational meetings on
Monday, March 20 or Tuesday, March 21 after school in room 301 (Mrs.

Congrats to Alaric Muckerheide and Jesse Burg as they are WWF Kids State
qualifiers! We are going to have one more week of practice to help get
those guys ready for state and to have some fun and work on a few other
things for another tournament taking place this weekend. I will let you
know about the middle school bust up party and equipment turn in day. It
will be held after school on Thursday, March 30th in the aquatic center
pool balcony. Please have everything cleaned and ready to turn in that day.
After turning your issued equipment has been turned in, there will be time
to swim in the pool so bring your suits as well! Following that, we will
hand out season awards and have pizza and drinks for the wrestlers. We
should be done around 4:45pm.
Also, like I have mentioned above, there is a tournament this weekend in
Milwaukee called the Purple Pummel. Here is a message from Sam Payne.
For anyone who is interested there are already four wrestlers from the team
going to the Purple Pummel wrestling tournament. It is a great tournament
for beginners and average wrestlers to be matched up with other wrestlers
with similar levels of experience. It is on Saturday the 25th at the Kern
center in Milwaukee. Please contact Sam Payne (Joe’s dad) if you are
interested. His number is 920-627-7200 <(920)%20627-7200>. Or email
[email protected].

*Health Tip*
Dental Health-
Did you know that it takes 24 hours for bacteria in your mouth to form
the sticky film called plaque. If plaque is not removed with proper
brushing or flossing it coats the base of your teeth and becomes Tarter.
Once you have tarter it can only be removed by your dentist or hygienist.
If it is allowed to stay on your teeth your jaw bone starts dissolving and
you teeth can fall out. Keep your teeth clean and healthy by brushing and
flossing!
