10 grade Farm Trip
The 10th graders, in conjunction with the 9th graders, went across the St. Croix River to the Philadelphia Community Farms, in Osceola, WI. Philadelphia Community Farms is an Intergenerational, Multi-Abled, BIPOC & LGBTQ led and centered farm community with a mission to create access for historically marginalized people to connect to their history through land, food systems & cultural practices. While there, the students hiked the falls, engaged with horses, crafted hand-made soap, and explored what it means to be a part of a collective member of a place outside of the walls of their educational environment.
11th Grade College Exploration
Thinking about future education choices, the Juniors explored colleges in Minnesota and Wisconsin, hitting UW-Superior, Northland College, UW-Stout, Carleton and St. Olaf. While the trip was only four days, it was an experience packed with a lot of activity, including the ropes course at UW-Stout. Look out world, our Juniors are ready for their future!
12th grade Canoe Key Experience
Embarking on their final Key Experience, the seniors took on the challenge of canoeing down the Namekagon River. The Namekagon River spans one hundred miles through a mostly forested and rural Wisconsin landscape. It features twists and turns stretches around small islands. The students battled currents and rapids, and even completed a 25 mile paddling day on the river. After that, any paper this year should be a cakewalk.
