"The Great Hunger" in Ireland, also known as the Irish Potato Famine, was a period of severe starvation that occurred in Ireland between 1845 and 1852, primarily caused by a potato blight that devastated the potato crop, which was the primary food source for most of the Irish population at the time; this led to widespread death and emigration, with estimates of around one million people dying from starvation and related diseases during this period.
The Great Hunger is considered one of the most devastating famines in European history and continues to be a significant part of Irish identity and cultural memory.

Our high school mixed chorus went to Eden and Campbellsport Elementary Schools to visit classrooms in small groups.

Today we celebrate Casimir Pulaski Day. This day commemorates the life of the Poland native who was born in 1747. He came to America in 1777, after fighting for Poland's independence, and joined forces with General George Washington. After saving Washington's life, Pulaski was made brigadier general of the American Cavalry. Wounded in battle, Pulaski died on October 11, 1779.
Quick fact - The village of Pulaski, Wisconsin was named after Casimir Pulaski. Wisconsin schools celebrate Pulaski Day on March 4th to teach students about U.S. society and cultural heritage.

Students in Art Foundations are bringing their creativity to life with vibrant acrylic paintings, each brushstroke adding depth and expression to their unique works of art.
This may look like an ordinary classroom, but today, it was transformed into a life-sized “Guess Who” game! In Ms. Skelton’s Spanish 1 class, students took turns choosing a mystery classmate and answering questions (in Spanish, of course!) about their physical appearance. The game ended when someone correctly identified the mystery student. It was a fun and interactive way to practice descriptive vocabulary in a real-world context.
Everyone deserves flowers on Valentine's Day! The Campbellsport High School National Honor Society created bouquets of flowers, which were provided by Heartfelt Flowers & Gift Shop in Lomira. These bouquets were delivered to Serenity Villa, Kettle Moraine Gardens, and Hospice House of Hope to spread love and joy to our community.
While reading All Quiet on the Western Front, students in 8th grade ELA participated in a trench simulation activity where they had to work together as a squad. Students were given situation cards and had to choose what the best response would be for their squad while still managing their squad’s morale, health, and supplies. In the end, students had to use the evidence collected to make a case for why they thought their squad should beat the opposing squad.
Happy Valentine's Day!
