Mr. Youngbauer’s 8th Hour Future Skills class partnered with the ADRC of Trempealeau County for a multi-generational event following Café 60 at Sweet Temptations today!
Our 8th graders had the opportunity to showcase the communication and empathy skills they’ve been practicing in class while enjoying meaningful conversations with the adult participants.
Prior to the event, students prepared pumpkin protein balls to share, adding a special touch to the visit.
It was a truly outstanding experience for everyone involved!

Students Explore Industry at Nelson Global 🌍🔧
Thirty students from Blair-Taylor, Whitehall, and Arcadia toured Nelson Global in Arcadia, gaining first-hand insight into advanced manufacturing.
During the visit, students observed processes related to thermal science, fluid mechanics, and advanced structural systems, as well as acoustics and noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH). They also discussed safety awareness and employability skills, connecting classroom learning to real-world industry applications.

Future Learning Friday 🌟
This week, Hazel turned her ideas into wearable art by designing her very own earrings! 👏✨
She sketched out her shapes, added her own creative touches, and prepared her design for our laser cutter. With a little imagination (and a lot of Norse creativity 🧡🖤), Hazel’s vision became something real! Custom earrings ready to shine.
We love seeing our students bring their ideas to life in such unique ways!

Day 1: Spotlight on the Future of Learning ✨
Superintendent Mike Beighley is kicking off our Tomorrow’s Learners, Today feature! 🚀
Mr. Beighley shares why future-ready education matters for every Norse student:
"Future-ready education matters for every Norse student because the world they are stepping into will look very different from the one we know today. Our responsibility is not just to prepare students for the next test or the next grade, but to help them build the skills, confidence, and adaptability they’ll need for college, careers, and life in an increasingly global and competitive environment.
Every Norse student deserves the opportunity to explore their passions, engage with emerging technologies, and learn in ways that spark creativity and problem-solving. By making future-ready learning a priority, we ensure that our students are prepared not only to keep up with a changing world, but to lead in it."
— Mike Beighley, Superintendent

Farmer Appreciation Day!🌾🚜
The Whitehall FFA is celebrating National Ag Safety Week by recognizing local farmers who are hard at work starting the harvest season. These dedicated men and women provide our growing population with the necessities of life, from food on the table to clothes on our backs. Did you know that less than 2% of the U.S. population feeds the other 98%?
FFA members nominated farmers within our district, and today those farmers were surprised with a care package of safety supplies, delivered by FFA members. To keep their energy and spirits up, each farmer also received a nutritious meal, generously provided in partnership with Sweet Temptations.
As harvest season begins, we encourage all community members to stay alert and safe when driving near agricultural equipment on the roads. Our farmers have an important job to do, let’s help keep them safe while they do it!
