Staff Shoutout 📣
On Saturday, September 20th, a group of CLSD staff members joined together for a good cause. They formed a team for the Polk County Suicide Awareness Walk and participated in the 5k event! Additional staff members made generous donations for the team as well.
The event featured a 5k run/walk, guest speakers, live music, food trucks, and a dove release ceremony.
It was a wonderful opportunity to show support for our students, communities and families. Together we can make a difference.
We are Clear Lake Warriors! 🤍

🍎🌳 First graders had a core-geous day on their Johnny Appleseed field trip! 🎭 They kicked things off at the Gem Theater, where they got to be part of the show during a fun and interactive play.
Then it was off to Glenwood Orchard in Glenwood City for an afternoon of hands-on learning! Students explored the orchard, learned how apple cider is made (with a yummy taste test!), picked their own apples, and made a sweet apple craft to take home.
So much fun, so many smiles — what an a-peel-ing day! 🍏❤️

Our 5th-grade scientists had a blast today testing the classic Coke and Mentos experiment! Students set up the “launch pad,” and then watched as soda geysers shot high into the air. Laughter, excitement, and a few sticky shoes filled the day—but most importantly, students learned about chemical reactions, gas release, and the power of observation. Science has never been so explosive!
📣 Thank you to Alfalfa Fest organizers who once again gave a very generous donation of $3,500 to the school district! 😃💙🤍 Judy Lehman, George Christensen, and Deb Peterson stopped by to present the check to Chris Petersen. We are grateful for the support‼️💯⭐🙌🏻

Hi, my name is Emily Krech! I grew up in Clear Lake and graduated from CLHS, and now I’m excited to be joining the team as a paraprofessional at the elementary school this year! I live out by Reeve with my husband Simeon and our dog Briar. In my free time, I love baking, playing sports, hunting, and fishing. I’m happy to be back as a Warrior, and I’m looking forward to a great school year!
Congrats to Lydia Buhr on being chosen as one of National FFA's {FFA in the USA} Reporters! This is an incredible achievement and a testament to her hard work and dedication. She is one of 250 students across the nation, and only 4 from Wisconsin, that were chosen for this position. In her role she will receive training in communications, marketing, article writing, graphic design, and more! Plus she is responsible for writing articles that will be published on the FFA website. We can't wait to follow her journey as she shares the amazing stories of FFA members from across the country during the 2025-2026 school year.
We're so proud of you, Lydia! #FFA #CLWarriorPride
