Wisconsin Campus Tour

Phil and Will went to Madison for a campus visit this weekend.  They stayed right downtown and had breakfast and went to the zoo before the tour.  In the afternoon, they visited the bookstore, had dinner, and sat on the terrace by the union.  On Saturday, they drove to Evanston to walk through Northwestern one more time and then took the train to Wrigleyville to watch the Cubs game before heading home. 

 

8th Grade Spring Band Concert

It was the 8th grade band concert tonight. They did a great job as usual! Alex was also recognized for being in jazz band, participating in band mentorship, competing in solo & ensemble festival, and auditioning for (and receiving) a Blue Lake scholarship.

 

IBO Championships

On Saturday morning, Alex participated in the IBO championships.  There were 30 3D targets and he had one arrow for each target.  They were at various distances and were staggered and didn't increase/decrease by one meter like the NASP 3D tournament so it was much trickier.  He did great and didn't have any misses.  It was fun to see the different targets like an alligator and a grizzly bear standing up on its hind legs. 

 

NASP Nationals 2026

Alex and I drove to Louisville after school on Thursday for archery nationals. We stayed right downtown at a really nice Embassy Suites.  Alex shot 3D at 10:15 Friday morning and then had time to run around with teammates before shooting bullseye at 2pm.  He didn’t shoot as well as he would have liked but still had a fun day.  After we got back to the hotel, we walked across the pedestrian bridge to Indiana and had dinner at a fun spot with yard games.  Then we got ice cream before walking back to the hotel.

Staff Appreciation Week

The PTO spoiled us for staff appreciation week.  It was Hawaiian themed with decorations, açaí bowls, tiki drinks, catered lunch, Dole Whip, and Moorsbridge beach towels.
