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

🎣🐟 Gone Fishin'!

In guidance this week, our 1st graders used teamwork and cooperation with a fun fishing game! They displayed patience, communication and encouragement from one another! It was so great to see them cheering for their classmates and working together to "reel" in success. 💙

The school district received a generous $260 donation from the Amery Hospital and Clinic to be used toward student meals. Natalie and Martina delivered the funds which were raised by employees through a "pie in the face" competition, then divided among the school districts served by the clinic. Thank you!

The High School Civics class would like to thank Polk County Clerk Shabana Lundeen for speaking about her job, the election process and other county positions!

Earlier this month we received a very generous donation of 20 student backpacks and $600 for student meals from Wreck Amended Auto and Howlin' Wolf Creek Bar & Grill. Thank you to Kya Smith and "Grandma Jean" for delivering these items to our students! You are appreciated! #CLWarriorPride

Job Posting for Administrative Office Assistant.

Hi, everyone!

My name is Kinzie Kuhn, and I am thrilled to join the Clear Lake Elementary School team as the new Junior Warriors Coordinator. Having grown up in the Clear Lake area, I am particularly excited to contribute to the community I am familiar with.

My husband and I have been together for eight years. We have four beautiful children: Ada, Aliya, Levi, and Lennox. Our home is quite busy, with two dogs, a hamster, a guinea pig, a rabbit, and nearly 30 beef cattle, which we manage on land just south of Clear Lake! When I'm not busy with all the other things, I enjoy gardening, practicing yoga, and getting creative with glitter epoxy cups.

A couple of fun facts about me are that I was homeschooled during my elementary and middle school years and received my high school diploma through an online program through the state of Pennsylvania. I recently graduated in August with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, focusing on child and adolescent development, which I completed in just a year and a half. I am so looking forward to getting to know all of the little warriors and their families!

The Clear Lake Warriors cross country teams traveled to Balsam Lake yesterday to compete in the Unity Invitational Meet.
The junior high boys' team placed fifth out of the nine teams competing.
The Warriors varsity girls placed 8th out of 12 teams and the varsity boys finished 14th among the field of 15 teams.
Congratulations to all team members on their performances! A special shoutout goes to senior Violet Wood, who finished 10th among the 100 girls who completed in the meet.
Next up for Clear Lake cross country is a meet in Frederic on Tuesday, September 23.
GO WARRIORS!
