#VanguardPride 8th graders had "Cake Wars," too!
It was Cake Week in Intro to Culinary last week. Classes began with a basic cake and frosting recipe, culminating in "Cake Wars," where each group had the chance to customize their cakes, decorations, and flavors.
At the end of the week, there was only one winner in each class, but really, didn't everyone win since everyone left with cake!?
On Monday, the 7th Graders took a field trip to explore the Milwaukee Public Museum. It was a day of learning, laughter, and adventure.
Thank you staff and parent chaperones for helping our #VanguardPride students have a wonderful experience.
#VanguardPride 8th grade students are building CO2 Dragsters in Shop class. They are learning the bandsaw, scroll saw, spindle sander, and drill press.
Pictures of their painted cars to come later...can't wait!
7th grade math played a competitive game of Connect Four. In teams, they found the area of composite shapes (multiple shapes put together), and if they got a problem right, they put a post-it on the Connect Four board.
The #VanguardPride team with the most fours in a row won the game.
What a fun way to study for an upcoming quiz!

Over the weekend, the Student Council of Wisconsin Heights High School had an amazing time at the state conference organized by the Wisconsin Association of School Councils. The event took place at the Madison West Marriott. Wisconsin Heights was proud to host the State Conference Competitions for the weekend. The competition was judged by members of the Wisconsin Heights School Board, with special guest Michelle McGrath, the former WASC Executive Director and our future Superintendent in attendance. This part of the event was sponsored by Wick Buildings and Elite Embroidery and Screen Printing.
The students who took part enjoyed bonding with their peers, enhancing their leadership abilities, and improving their council. This was the first year that the council has been active since the pandemic. The group is guided by Advisor Craig Braunschweig, with support from Jamie Van Den Berg. Additionally, Mr. Braunschweig was chosen as the Region 5 High School Advisor for the WASC Collaborative Leadership Council (CLC). Lydia Crowe and Emma Adler had the honor of presenting awards during the award ceremony. Well done to everyone involved!

The #VanguardPride Senior Class Prom Fashion Show is coming up on Sunday, April 14th at 1:00pm!
The personal finance class is learning about the stock market. Mrs. Meinholz gave them each $1,000 to invest, and each week, the students have to keep track of the stock they have invested in to see if they have lost or gained money! Here are our four top investors for the week! The top investor made $19.76, most of which came from his investment in Amazon!
