Mrs. Schmitt's 7th grade social studies classes are diving into the fascinating world of global trade! Students are exploring how countries exchange goods, the impact of trade agreements, and why it's so important for our world economy.
We're so proud of their enthusiasm and teamwork as they tackle real-world concepts!

Our next #SeniorSpotlight is on #VanguardPride senior, Jasmyn Campbell!
Plans after graduation?:
I plan to go to UW Whitewater for Fall of 2025. I plan to study psychology as my major and biology as my minor. I also plan to work over the summer to help fund my college tuition.
Activities during high school?:
I participate in FFA and was involved in Green Team freshman year.
Dream job?:
My dream job is to work in human services and help those who are less fortunate.
Favorite memory?
My favorite memory from high school will forever be all the days in Mr. Marx's class and all the funny moments his class brought. There was never a dull moment from my freshman year all the way to senior year. I'll never forget those memories!
What are you most proud of?:
I am proud of how far I've come mentally and physically, and how much I've changed as a person. All of my friends and family, along with supporters at school, have shown me how much I've accomplished and how proud of myself I should be. I am also proud of how much dedication I have towards school and being able to balance school and work and life in general.
Congratulations, Jasmyn!
Thread, thimbles, buttons, seam rippers- oh my!
