It’s every teacher’s favorite day of the year—brave educators stepped up to judge our Gourmet Foods students in the ultimate Grilled Cheese Showdown! From gooey classics to creative twists, these sandwiches had it all. Congrats to our students for making every bite a masterpiece!
This past weekend, some members of Science Club headed to Chicago for an overnight trip! We spent the day on Friday checking out all of the amazing exhibits at the Shedd aquarium including an animal spotlight of the Pacific White-sided Dolphin. Then we walked to the Adler Planetarium where we browsed around their exhibits and were guided through the night sky in a planetarium show! Both of these buildings have tremendous learning opportunities and we had a great time. Additionally, we spent some time at the bean and walking through one of the biggest cities in the U.S.
A couple months ago, some members of Science Club cured, or at least helped, their seasonal depression by spending a day on the slopes of Bruce Mound. We spent most of the day either tubing, skiing, or snowboarding, and enjoying time together in nature in the winter. Seasonal depression or the "winter blues" is a very common thing in the northern states like Wisconsin, and this event helped to alleviate some of those effects. It was a great teaching experience for students to use the science of moving and connection to help their mental health.
In our Family Food & Society class, students dove into the delicious world of pasta and noodles.
To put their knowledge into action, students used their resourcefulness to create their own “build-your-own” ramen bowls using only pantry and refrigerator ingredients. From creativity to problem-solving, they made it work!

Hello Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau families! National Honor Society members, Carson G. and Liberty J., are planning to create a garden at Marinuka Manor Nursing Home for their Senior Project.

They plan to begin this project in mid April and will be taking donations until April 15th. Your contribution would be greatly appreciated!
Our Child Development students researched how nutrition plays a powerful role in brain growth, learning, and overall development. From memory to mood, the foods children eat truly matter!
To bring their learning to life, they created healthy, brain-boosting snacks designed just for kids, packed with nutrients that support focus, energy, and development 🍓🥜🥑

Students in Child Development are exploring regulation techniques and learning how to support children in managing emotions, thoughts, and physical responses.
They also explored neurographic art, a therapeutic, calming, meditative drawing practice used to support self-regulation and creativity.

Child Development students teamed up with Ettrick Elementary second graders to create their very own children’s books!
In late January, high school students visited Ettrick Elementary to collaborate with their second graders, and by early March, they returned to share the finished books. Each second grader received their very own copy; a keepsake of creativity and teamwork!

A big thank you to Mr. Mendez for visiting our class and teaching us how to prepare authentic tamales. Students had a great hands-on experience learning new cooking skills and cultural traditions!
From Pre-ACTs to campus tours! On Tuesday, our 9th graders headed to Western Technical College and our 10th graders visited Winona State University. After touring the facilities and meeting with staff, our students walked away with a better sense of the world of possibilities waiting for them. Whether a student is headed for a degree, a trade, or the workforce, these visits provide vital perspective on the diverse opportunities available after graduation!
Mr. Walker's Auto Tech 2 class traveled to Ashley Furniture on Thursday to attend the Transportation & Logistics Spring Career Day. Students toured the facility, heard from career experts, and got to see the inside of a new 18-wheeler!
Detective Anderson and Deputy Cruz visited GET HS on Wednesday to talk about their jobs. Students enjoyed interacting with them!
Due to the inclement weather approaching this weekend, the Spring Dance scheduled for tomorrow, Saturday, March 14, will be canceled.
Chop, slice, and create! 🔪🥕🌶️ Family Foods and Society students put their knife skills to the test as they crafted beautiful and totally edible vegetable arrangements!
Last week 9 FBLA members attended "FBLA Day" with the Milwaukee Bucks. They got to go in Fiserv.Forum earlier in the day to hear about careers the Bucks have to offer. Afterwards we explored Milwaukee and watched the Bucks vs. Knicks game!
Things got sweet and a little sticky in U.S. Foods class today. Students rolled up their sleeves and took on the tasty challenge of making homemade saltwater taffy — this soft, chewy, whipped, and pulled candy originated in Atlantic City, New Jersey, in the 1880s! The results were deliciously worth it. Way to stretch those skills, everyone!🍬
We are proud of the 16 students who competed at FCCLA Regionals at Western Technical College. Since December, they have worked diligently on their projects, demonstrating commitment, professionalism, and leadership.

This week, Family Foods and Society and U.S. Foods classes have been celebrating Mardi Gras! Students explored the history and cultural traditions of Mardi Gras, designed and created their own festive masks, and brought the celebration to life in the kitchen. They prepared traditional Mardi Gras favorites, including delicious king cake and classic beignets, while learning important baking techniques along the way.
