Middle School Quilters Stitch Up Some Halloween Fun! 🎃🧵

Submitted by Dr. Melissa Dunworth, our talented textiles teacher, the middle school quilting students have been busy creating some truly beautiful pieces! Each project shows just how much time, care, and creativity our students have poured into their work.

To make Halloween even more exciting, the class celebrated by getting their in-class longarm machine up and running for the first time this year! Dr. Dunworth shared that she’s thrilled with the progress her quilting students have made — and we can see why. Their hard work and growing skills are shining through in every stitch! 💜💛

🎉 Incentive Day Fun! 🎉
Last Wednesday, our middle school students who met the Incentive Day goals—no more than 5 absences, no D’s or F’s, no major referrals, and no more than 2 minor referrals—were treated to a day packed with fun! 🙌

They enjoyed snacks, movies, games, and art projects all day long! 🍿🎨♟️
It was a well-deserved celebration of hard work, great behavior, and dedication to doing their best every day. 💜💛

Onalaska Middle School Students Explore STEAM Careers at Expanding Your Horizons Conference

Seven Onalaska Middle School students, along with their teacher Mrs. Anne Stingley, attended the annual Expanding Your Horizons conference at Centralia College last Saturday.

This event is designed to spark students’ interest in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) careers while helping them explore the wide variety of opportunities available in these fields.

Students participated in a hands-on science workshop presented by OMSI, where they learned about Newton’s Three Laws of Motion. They also had the chance to attend two additional workshops of their choice, diving deeper into topics that inspired their curiosity.

Attending students included Wesley Manes, Leo Connelly, Orion Cherry, Zeke Cherry, Heather Hanson, Laura Hanson, Alyx Jarvis, and Kody Lohrengel.

It was an exciting and educational day filled with discovery, teamwork, and inspiration for our future scientists, engineers, and innovators!

Stitching Creativity in Middle School! 🧵✨

Our Middle School Textile students, led by Dr. Melissa Dunworth, have been busy learning the art of sewing! These talented students recently completed their first projects of the year, and their hard work truly shines through.

Dr. Dunworth shared, “Middle School sewing students have been working hard on their first projects of the year! Here is a selection of some of our finished projects!”

The collage showcases each student’s unique quilt square, filled with color, creativity, and care. It’s wonderful to see students learning hands-on skills that combine patience, craftsmanship, and self-expression.

Great job, sewing students — your work is sew impressive! 🪡💙

Today, our 5th graders received a special lesson in flag etiquette as they prepare to take on an important new role—raising and lowering our school’s flag each day.

This responsibility is both an honor and a tradition, and we are proud to see our students stepping up with respect and pride.

A big thank you to Mr. Gerbracht for leading this meaningful lesson!
