This week, three of our students: Carli Cress, Joshua Forsblade, and Riley Gagner attended the UW– River Falls Day of Music event!
This event gives students interested in pursuing music or music education a chance to experience what life is like as a college music student. Students sat in on music classes and rehearsals, learned about college life, and even had an individual lesson with a UWRF faculty member.
It was a fantastic opportunity for our students to explore their musical interests and see what the next step in their journey could look like!

Hi Everyone! My name is Tonya Dix. I live with my husband in Clear Lake. We enjoy hiking, canoeing, gardening and snowshoeing. I also enjoy creating multi-media collage art. I was a 13 year student at Clear Lake and now I'm working as a Special Education Paraprofessional. I have over 20 years working with kids as a preschool teacher, a nanny in TN and CA and as a cottage parent at a children's home on St. Croix Island, USVI. I'm excited to be a Warrior again and working with Clear Lake students and staff!

Attendance is a superpower! Use it. #BePresent #AttendanceMatters

🌎 Warriors Making a Difference! ♻️
Before school yesterday morning, students from NHS, FFA, and FCCLA volunteered alongside the Clear Lake Lions Club to sort and bag 84 pounds of clean plastic for recycling.
The recycled plastic collected through this program is transformed into benches for our community - and Clear Lake has already received two benches thanks to these ongoing efforts.
We're so proud of our students for demonstrating leadership, teamwork, and community spirit. 💙



Clear Lake Senior Lydia Buhr is officially a published author! She's written and published her first article as an FFA in the USA Reporter. Great Work Lydia! https://www.ffa.org/ffa-in-the-usa/emily-johnson-living-to-serve/

Thank you to Clear Lake Police Chief Paul Houx and Polk County Sheriff's Department Lead Investigator Jason Hickok for visiting the Forensic Science class as guest speakers. Students learned how digital imaging is used to capture evidence in a three-dimensional model and had the opportunity to experiment with dusting and lifting fingerprints.






🔨☕️ Local Adventures!
What a day exploring our town!
Our field trip kicked off at True Value with a fun scavenger hunt—students quickly learned the store layout and got creative making monsters! 👾
Then, it was a sweet treat at Kate's Coffee Koop! We learned about their local sourcing and enjoyed a great time with Italian sodas and stories. Teachers enjoyed some yummy coffee, too!
Thank you to our wonderful local businesses for a great day!

The Clear Lake School District places high value not only on academics but character as well. Each month the elementary school awards students who exemplify Warrior traits in and out of the classroom. Here are our October recipients for Academics and Character: David Sather, Henry Schneider, Vera Anderson, Grace Meyers, Izabella Hubbard, Alice Thielke, Marta Dennee, Chloe Lutz, Madeline Miller, Kylea Nelson, Emma Trepanier, Hudsyn Elwood, Boone Friendshuh, Hazel Knowlton, Ceci Babcock, and Lucas Harer. The staff got wrapped up in some Halloween fun! 👻 The competition was fierce, but a big congratulations goes out to the winning team: Mr. Komanec and Mrs. Groth! They expertly used just two rolls of toilet paper to wrap up Mr. Pettersen and claim the title for the most impressive mummy.









Psychology students recently completed a Maze Experiment, collecting data as part of their unit on Statistics.

This past week we had three students participate in the Wisconsin State Honors Music Project. This high level ensemble selects students who showcase a high level of musical skills through a challenging and competitive audition process.
Concluding her 4th and final time with the WSMA State Honors Project, senior Shelby Meyer was part of the High School State Honors Choir singing alto. Shelby plans to pursue music education next year!
Carli Cress and Joslyn Basden both auditioned as jr. high students last year and were part of the Middle Level State Honors Project. Carli was in the State Honors Orchestra on clarinet. They only select 4 clarinets to be part of this ensemble group. Joslyn auditioned for her first time and made it into the State Honors Choir singing soprano.
Congratulations to all three of these talented students who had the opportunity to be part of these ensembles! We are proud of the hard work each of these students put into these performances.
We are excited to see where music takes them in the future!

Ms. Barland's students learn how to love and take care of fun creatures in her classroom. The students are responsible for cleaning their habitats, their daily feedings, and socialization and companionship for them. They care for 5 hermit crabs, 2 white Australian tree frogs, 7 neon tetras, and 1 lemon angelfish.

Ghostly Greetings! Friday was a Spooktacular day at Clear Lake Elementary! The mysterious classrooms were bursting with Halloween-themed learning and spooky activities.
