📚✨ Magic in the Making with Our Reading Buddies! ✨📚
There is nothing quite like seeing learning come to life in our hallways! Our 4th graders teamed up with their 1st grade "Reading Buddies" this week, and the energy in the room was pure magic.
Our 4th graders stepped up as fantastic role models and patient listeners, guiding their younger peers through stories, helping with tricky words, and sharing their love for reading. Meanwhile, our 1st graders were bursting with pride to read aloud to their big kid mentors!
Beyond building literacy and phonics skills, this partnership builds confidence, kindness, and strong community connections across our school.
Check out a few snapshots of these dynamic duos in action below! 📸👇

🎓 Our CLHS students are planning for the future! 🚀
Our juniors and several seniors had the opportunity to attend the Wisconsin Education Fair (WEF) at the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire’s Sonnentag Center on Wednesday, September 23.
Students spent the morning exploring postsecondary options and connecting with representatives from more than 60 colleges, universities, technical schools, and military branches. They had the chance to ask questions about majors, tuition, campus life, career paths, and the many opportunities available after high school.
It was a great experience for our students to explore their options, ask questions, and continue thinking about what comes next!
👉 Parents & students: Keep the conversation going! No matter where your student is in their planning process, you can find more resources and check out future events on the official WEF website.
🤍💙 "Every step counts. Keep going." 💙🤍
Our Clear Lake School District staff took those words to heart last weekend, walking side-by-side in the Polk County Suicide Awareness Walk.
Mental health matters, and we are incredibly proud of our team for stepping up to support our students, families, and community. With every step we take together, we help break the stigma and ensure that no one has to walk alone.

Warrior Fans,
We have an important update regarding tomorrow’s Homecoming game.
Thursday evening, we were informed that Siren must forfeit Friday night’s football game.
Despite our best efforts to find a replacement opponent on such short notice, we were unable to secure one.
We share in the deep disappointment and heartbreak this brings to our players, coaching staff, student body, and community—especially our seniors, who have put so much heart and dedication into this season.
We are determined to make the most of Homecoming for our students. Here is our updated schedule:
Friday School Day: All daytime festivities will proceed as planned, including the Pep Rally and Parade.
Friday Evening: The Tailgate Party and Band Halftime Performance are rescheduled for our Week 9 home game vs. Turtle Lake on Friday, October 9th.
Saturday Night: The Homecoming Dance and Coronation will take place as scheduled this Saturday.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support as we rally behind our student body and Senior class to make this weekend special!

Big smiles and even bigger creativity on display! 📚✨
Our 1st graders officially met their new 4th grade Reading Buddies! To break the ice and start building those special mentorship bonds, the pairs spent the afternoon teaming up on fun STEM building challenges and getting creative with hands-on craft projects.
It was incredible watching our older students step up as leaders and seeing our little ones so excited to collaborate. We can’t wait to watch these friendships—and a shared love for reading—grow all year long! 🎒🤝🎨
