Next week we are celebrating FFA Week! There are fun themes for dress-up each day, and all grades are welcome to participate, not just the high school! However, any HS students planning to drive a tractor on Thursday must hold a drivers' license and permission slip signed.
Last Wednesday, all staff had the opportunity to meet Mr. Travis Hartman, who will be our Orangeville elementary principal and district transportation liaison next school year. Though he does not begin here until July, we look forward to him becoming a part of our team!
At the end of next month, on April 30th, the National Honor Society is sponsoring a blood drive at the school with the Rock River Valley Blood Center. This will take place 2 - 6 pm, and all blood types are needed! Sign up by scanning the QR code or contact NHS advisor Kim Lorig.

Last week, Mrs. CJ had two "impossible shot" winners in the same day... and today we had another 3rd grader make it! Congratulations to Alex E., who got the chance at the impossible shot by showing good effort and responsibility, and demonstrating our 'Beyond the Bronco' way.
To kick off their study of fractions and Colonial times, Mrs. Brown’s 4th graders learned how wheat gets from grain to flour. They enjoyed following a recipe to make “Bread in a Bag”, and they thought their bread was delicious. We may have some future bakers here!
Congratulations to senior Addy W. , who signed her Letter of Intent to play softball at Wisconsin Lutheran College next year! She played softball on area club teams as well as for for our OHS Broncos, and we know she will bring that same work ethic to her new WLC Warriors family!
Don't forget to turn your clocks forward tonight before bed, because daylight saving begins tomorrow, Sunday, March 9th. You don't want to be late! Have a great evening.

On Feb. 20, the PreK classes, as part of a Community Helper unit, invited the Green County Sheriff's Department to come and talk about safety and police work. The students got to ask questions and learned a lot. A big thank you to Officer Ben Casado for being part of our day!
