Band and Choir Concert
On Tuesday, October 22th, 2019 the Chequamegon Middle School had a band/choir performance. Many students participated in the fall concert. The children who engaged in the concert practiced for several weeks, and each group performed six songs. There was emotion expressed with each piece. The amount of progress and work they had put into this concert is outstanding.

Before and After School Program
This month the before and after school program did a couple of fun activities. The first thing the students did was a new activity where they had to design their very own video games using Bloxels. Bloxels allows them to create video games in the classroom by building them with the coded building blocks. When they are done with that, they take a picture and upload it into the Bloxels Edu app where they can play their games.
Another fun thing the students did was yoga. Students in grades 1-3 had the chance to participate in a new yoga activity with Mrs. Gustafson. Each week all of the students enrolled in the after school program had an opportunity to do some sort of organized physical activity. The last thing was from the students that were in Mrs. Deitz’s summer school class. What the students did was they harvested the last of their crops and gave them away during the parent teacher conferences. Some of the things they grew were: purple and green beans, sugar snap peas, lettuce, celery, purple carrots, tomatoes, zucchini, cucumbers, onions, beets, pumpkins, gourds, muskmelon, and cabbage.They also grew milkweed for their butterfly garden!

Elementary News
This October, the elementary had some exciting things that happened. The students took a trip and explored the theme “families”. They learned about how families have changed over time. They also explored diversity within the family structure and within our communities. At Marion Park, the students in Mrs. Hanson’s class had the opportunity to observe the mural on the Glidden Historical building and also learned about some of our local families past.
Another thing that happened in the elementary was parent teacher conferences and the students curriculum work. The students had 100% participation in the Parent Teacher Conferences.
The teachers have completed running records using Fountas and Pinnell leveling system. This helps the teachers group the students for guided reading and makes for more meaningful independent reading time. In addition to the library books, each student brings home a leveled book at his/hers independent reading level in grades 1-3. The goal is for the students to have reading resources at home that he/she feels confident reading.
The last thing that the elementary had was fire prevention week! What happened was members from the Glidden Volunteer Fire Department brought one of there fire trucks to the school to show the students all of the different tools and what they do when fighting fires. All of the students also got a chance to spray the grass with the fire hose.

Copper Falls Field Trip
A new school year marks the beginning of a new journey. During this time, the students are learning to get back into school rules/habits and are full of potential. This is an optimum time for students to plant seeds of intentions for what they wish to manifest in their life. Hectic school weeks often leave us students disconnected from the world. With work piling up, it gives us little time to think for ourselves and commit to any task out-of-school. Field trips are a great way for students to clear their mind, yet still be educated in the appropriate courses. This year for our fall field trip, we traveled to Copper Falls. There were many memories made, and it was an enjoyable time with the students and staff of Chequamegon Glidden Campus. The following pictures below were taken by the students/chaperones during the field trip.

Chequamegon Middle School Dance
This year, a Chequamegon Middle School dance was hosted on October 11th, 2019. A concession stand full of snacks and drinks was provided. Many slow dance songs were played, and we also had an amazing limbo competition, won by 8th grader Renardo Salvador. As a prize, he got to pick out any treat at the concession stand! Congrats RJ! There were also soda-hyped kids dancing their hearts out to goofy music. All the grades had an amazing time, and we are looking forward to our next middle school dance.

Bullying Prevention Month
Bullying can threaten students’ physical and emotional safety at school and can negatively impact their ability to learn. The best way to address bullying is to stop it before it starts. There are a number of things school staff and students can do to make schools safer and prevent bullying. On Wednesday the 23rd, students got the opportunity to wear orange to visibly show that our society believes that no kid should experience bullying. Below is a website that can help people move in the right direction.

"The month of October is one of the top hunting and fishing months of the year. Deer are starting to go into the rut towards the end of the year and the fish are starting to bite."
October Hunting
The Wisconsin fall turkey season started on September 14th, and it ends on November 22nd. The month of October is one of the top hunting and fishing months of the year. Deer are starting to go into the rut towards the end of the year, and the fish are starting to bite too! The Wisconsin bear season also ended in October, and some people managed to come out with some nice bears. Wisconsin also had it’s deer youth season on October 5-6, and some kids came out with some pretty nice bucks. There are also many types of waterfowl season open such as ducks, and geese. Partridge season is also open, and there are many hunters headed into the woods and hunting alongside the roads. The bow deer season is also open, and many hunters are hoping to bag the monster buck they have on their property.

Miss Hanson's Buck Board
Miss Hanson is having the Buck Board again this school year. There are three categories that you can enter your deer in: bow, rifle, and muzzleloader. The buck must be shot this year, and it must be within the state. To submit your deer, take a picture of your buck with a ruler across the antlers to show the spread. Please bring or send your picture to Ms. Hanson.
The score of the deer is determined by the amount of point it had plus the spread. For example, if you shoot a buck with 7 points, and it has a 14 inch spread, your score would be 21 points. The top three will also get a prize related to hunting. Anyone that submits a deer will have their picture hung up on Miss Hanson’s chalkboard, and it will also be put up on her website. As of right now, we do not have any on the board so get out there hunters and good luck!

October Fishing
The month of October is one of the top fishing times of the year. Walleyes are coming back into the shallows and are easiest to catch during dawn and dusk. The best baits to use to catch them are; a jig and minnow, live bait, and plastics. Panfish are going to be on weed edges, flats, or deep holes. The best baits to use for panfish are small jigs with plastics or worms, small minnows, and beetle spins. Bass will be in deeper water and the slower baits such as football jigs, jigging spoons, or tube jigs will work the best to catch them. Live bait will also work very well at this time of year for bass. Pike will be at rock points, green weeds, (especially cabbage), drop offs, and dramatic edges. Pike will be attacking big rubber musky lures, like the medusa or bulldawg, spinnerbaits, spoons, and live bait the most. Other baits like the Red October 10 Inch Magnum Tube, Bondy Baits, and Rattlin' Traps often work amazingly for pike as well. Muskies will also be on rock ledges, deep, green weeds, main lake points, and drop offs. The best baits to use at this time of year for muskies are; cannonball jrs, flaptails, bulldawgs, medusas, glide baits like suicks and shum shum quickies, and a bucktail. Trout season ended on October 15th. The trout are getting close to their spawning time, and many anglers are trying to get a last second one.

Halloween
This year for Halloween at the Glidden Campus, the elementary students had a Halloween party, and they also engaged in a costume parade on the 31st. The students walked through the halls of the middle school classrooms, and then into the commons where their parents were watching.
This year in Park Falls, there was a haunted house. The haunted house was called Haunted House of Horrors. It was open on the 25th and 26th. It was also open on the 31st from 7:00 to 10:00 P.M. On October 26th there was a haunted trail open only on that night. Also happening on the 31st was Trick or Treating. In Park Falls and Glidden it started at 4:00 P.M. and went to 6:30 P.M. Hopefully everyone had an awesome and spooky Halloween!
