Our Accounting and FBLA students had an incredible opportunity to visit the Milwaukee Brewers and hear from a panel of professionals working in accounting within the organization. Students gained valuable insight into a typical day on the job, the skills needed to succeed, recommended coursework, and the unique perks of working in sports accounting. To top it all off, students stayed to cheer on the Brewers as they secured a win against Tampa Bay!

This memorable experience was made possible through a generous grant from the Wisconsin Institute of Certified Public Accountants. We are truly grateful for their support in bringing real-world learning to our students!

🥚 Egg-citing things happening in Gourmet Foods! 🥚

Our students cracked into one of the most versatile ingredients in the kitchen......EGGS! They took their skills to the next level by making homemade mayonnaise from scratch and then used it to create delicious, perfectly seasoned deviled eggs.

Safe to say… this lab was devilishly good!

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.

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!🍬
