In September, our character trait was cooperation🏆!
In a hula hoop challenge between the 6th-grade student council members and some of our staff, participants displayed teamwork, cooperation, and collaboration to complete the task! The official winner is yet to be determined (Rematch at the next assembly!). 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 September recipients for Academics and Character: Greyson Buhr, Annabelle Barney, Brock Trepanier, Dawson Veenendall, Jameson Jarchow, Liam Strobach, Eloise Scott, Rowan Ruble, Oliviah Sislo, Rowan Paulson, Aella Anderson, Dean Cipra, Ravis Leonard, Julia Basden, Nolan Fick, and Wesley Wickum

The "Autopsy of a Dill Pickle" is a fun and creative way for anatomy and physiology students to practice scientific observation. Students also learn how to use anatomical directional and regional terms. This lab introduces students to different injuries, pathologies, and conditions that they will learn about later in the course.
The Clear Lake boys and girls Varsity Cross Country teams kicked off the Warriors' slate of Homecoming week sporting events by hosting a home meet on Tuesday.
The boys finished fifth as a team while the girls' team combined for a third-place finish. The highest Warrior finisher was senior Violet Wood, who placed 11th among the field of 43 competitors. She completed the 5K course in 23:46.5. Top finisher for the Clear Lake boys was freshman Malachi Perry, who placed 13th among the boys with a time of 20:01.4.
Next up for the Warriors is the Conference meet at Spring Valley on Thursday, Oct. 16. Go Warriors!

🚀💥 Science in Action! 💥🚀
Mr. Pettersen’s 5th-grade class took their science lesson outside for a fizzy, explosive good time with the classic Coke and Mentos experiment!
Our young scientists learned firsthand about chemical reactions, gas formation, and pressure — all while having an absolute blast (literally!). 😄🍬🥤
Hands-on learning like this brings science to life, and the excitement was sky-high—just like those soda geysers! 🌈✨
Way to go, 5th graders! Keep asking questions, getting messy, and exploring the world around you! 🔬🧪👩🔬👨🔬

Hi Everyone! My name is Ashley Long, and I live in Amery with my husband and our 2 daughters. We love to play card games, go to the cabin, and camp with our extra time. I am teaching/subbing 6th grade ELA/Social Studies here at Clear Lake. Something interesting about me is that I can speak 3 languages (not always fluently). I am honored to be a Warrior and part of the Clear Lake family!
Thank you,
Ashley Long

The 6th grade class had the opportunity to attend the 2025 Barron County Sixth Grade Conservation Tour on October 3rd. Students learned 3 ways to identify healthy waterways, how to conserve and retain our soil resources, how the state is maintaining wetland resources for wildlife to flourish, what a shoreline habitat is, and how to protect it, and the importance of maintaining our forest resources. Thank you to Barron County and Rachel Ault for the invitation, Tom Aasmundud and Craig Moriak for transportation, Amanda Teed and Sandy Beckerman for making student lunches, and Janette Cain, Nathan Dhuey, Justin Everson, Pat Brown, Tyler Gruetzmacher, and Bronson Thalacker for setting up hands-on activities for our students.
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.

🍎🌳 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! 🍏❤️
