💚💛 Reading Buddies Fun! 💛💚

Our 1st graders invited their 5th grade Reading Buddies for a friendly game of UNO today, and the smiles said it all! 🎉🃏

We are so lucky to have such wonderful 5th grade role models—our younger Bobcats truly look up to them. Watching them learn, play, and build positive connections is one of the sweetest parts of our school community. 💚🐾

Thank you, 5th graders, for leading with kindness and setting a great example! #BobcatPride #ReadingBuddies #RoleModels

The awards just keep stacking up for our standout sophomore, Kelsi Chrisman — and we couldn’t be more proud!

After helping lead Florence to its first-ever appearance at the WIAA State Volleyball Tournament, Kelsi was named to the WVCA All-Tournament Team for Division 5 for her outstanding play on the big stage.

Kelsi, our talented setter/outside hitter, was also selected as a Unanimous 1st Team All-State player for Division 5 — an incredible honor chosen by coaches from across Wisconsin.

And her success isn’t new… Kelsi also earned All-State Honorable Mention as a Freshman.

Proud is an understatement — congratulations, Kelsi! 💚💛
