Bonduel Elementary School
The school year in our building has started off on a positive and exciting note. We have kicked off our focus on creating a “growth mindset” climate in our building. We started with a short presentation to all of the staff in our district that introduced the concept of a growth mindset to those who weren’t familiar with it. Growth mindset is the belief that you can learn anything you want to; fixed mindset is the belief that you only know what you know and can’t learn anything else. In the elementary school, we had studied this concept last year so we were ready to implement. Bulletin boards and posters are up, and the language to encourage a growth mindset is being used. We have a link to a mindset website we’ve created on the Bonduel Elementary website. Please check it out. It has lots of resources for parents, students and teachers. Our website is http://bonduel.k12.wi.us.
Shawano Community High School
Homecoming is the week of Sept. 26 through Oct. 1. The community is invited to attend the week’s events, which include the homecoming parade at 6 p.m. Sept. 30 on Main Street, powder puff football at 7 p.m. Sept. 30 at the SCHS field, hall of fame induction at 12:15 p.m. Oct. 1 and the varsity football game at 1 p.m. Oct. 1 at the SCHS field.
New to this year’s homecoming schedule is the Shawano Hawk Homecoming 5K-NoK on Oct. 1. The 5K will begin at 9 a.m. The “NoK” allows people to register and not participate in the actual 5K run or walk. Proceeds from the race go to student scholarships for Shawano cross-country team members. The 5K will follow the school’s cross-country course, which consists mainly of grass areas with a wooded section layered with wood chips. There is also a section where participants could run on a sidewalk or along a street. It will be lined and marked with cross-country directional flags. Depending on weather conditions, there might be some wet or muddy areas, and the course might not be 100 percent stroller-friendly.
All sales are final. Event fees will not be reimbursed due to cancellation of the event or if the registrant cannot participate in the event. Registration must be received (online or via mail) no later than Sept. 24 for participants to receive the desired T-shirt size. If the registration is received after the deadline, the T-shirt and/or size will depend on availability.
Registration fees can be sent to Steve Stomberg, 220 County Road B, Shawano, WI 54166. Checks can be made out to Shawano Athletic Booster Club. For information, contact Steve Stomberg at stombergs@shawanoschools.com or 715-526-2175, ext. 1205.
