The Freshman class traveled to Dave and Buster’s in Green Bay today as an acknowledgment of meeting the Freshman 30 Day Challenge . The goal of the Freshman 30 Day Challenge is to reward freshman for starting off their high school career right. Students met the challenge by having no unexcused absences, no missing assignments, no failing grades, and no more than two behavioral referrals. Great job, class of 2029! Keep working hard!
