We are thankful for our relationships with our local community partners and their support for our schools and families. But you know what else stands out that we’re thankful for?! We’ve got an amazing staff that backs it all too!! Our staff donated monies to go towards purchasing pies for our Genoa City Food Pantry: Loaves & Fishes for their Thanksgiving meal pick ups. We were able to order 47 pumpkins and apple pies and our principals made the delivery today….just in time for the Thanksgiving meal pick up day!!! Interested in more information on the food pantry? Call: 262-203-0979
Thank you to Stinebrink's Lake Geneva Piggly Wiggly for helping us with this purchase!!
Today was a special day for our 3rd graders!! It’s their annual Thankful 3rd Grade State Presentation Day & Feast!!! Thank you to all those that were a part of this!!!! HUGE round of applause to our 3rd Graders and their hard work on their video presentation, song, and diorama….now it’s time to feast!
What an amazing day to spend with friends working on some science! Students in 3rd and kindergarten spent some time together outside building dinosaur habitats! Students chose teams/partners and collected materials for their habitats. Only a couple of the dinosaurs became extinct. Hopefully the fossils will appear later!
We are so excited that the Lake Geneva Symphony Orchestra is at BES today to perform for the 5K-5th grade students. Thank you to these special performers for spending some time with us today!!!
We hope you enjoy the live stream performance on our facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/GenoaCitySchools

A special shout out specifically to ALL of our alumni and all they’ve done and accomplished this school year so far…committing to college, making it to conference and/or state competitions, maintaining consistent attendance, and doing their best in all that they do.
Good luck to the Badger football team as they head off to Camp Randall for state to bring home the W! 🙌🏼

Thank you for your continued support in our schools.
Thankful for the collaboration and opportunities our students have once they get to Badger…but it all starts with us as a K-8 District. Today, our Readiness Team was able to tour Badger’s Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs and classes with their CTE Coordinator Jake Popanda. HUGE thank you to Mr. Popanda for taking time out of his day to spend it with us!! Seeing what Badger has to offer allows us to dig deeper into what we need to showcase and prepare our students for to get them career and community ready. Digging in to have kids understand and discover their own skills and attributes allows them to see the relevance in their educational growth! Thank you to all those that made this possible and to the Readiness Team for taking this time to dig deeper into our readiness work to bring back to the whole group to work towards our next steps to continue to Grow into Greatness.
What a great day of learning for our staff!! We are thankful for our Professional Development opportunities—with the collaboration of our District leads and community professionals! Staff were able to choose from various topics today such as: digital storytelling, financial planning, stretch and mobility, classroom management & mindfulness, Barre & Pilates, chat GPT, special education, cybersecurity, AI, and sessions to continue with our Readiness work. We are grateful for all those that led sessions for our staff and thankful for the participation from our staff to continue to Grow into Greatness.
Huge thank you to Evolve Fitness Studio / Sarah Behrens for donation four sessions to our staff wellness committee to include in this professional development day that included Stretch & Mobility and Barre & Pilates!! Our staff wellness committee is thankful for your support and our staff loved the sessions you offered to them.
Thank you to Newline.Education.com for adding to our plethora of sessions today and offering sessions Digital Storytelling and Tips, Tricks, Apps, and Tools to use in our classrooms!!
Also another thank you to Kelly from WEA for coming to offer seminars to our staff that focused on Financial Security such as retirement and savings options available for our staff.
Show your support of our Badgers by sporting your badger gear or by wearing Badger colors on

This week Kindergarteners are learning about the farm! They have been reading books and doing many fun activities learning about farms and farm animals! This week they learned about how butter was made and made some of their own! Yum! They also had the privilege of having Mr. Erickson give a presentation about his farm and animals and when he was a farmer! The kids were so engaged in his presentation!! What a fun week!

Thank you...thank you....thank YOU to all of our parent volunteers, teacher support and the Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin for making the first trip to the school forest a success! All of the BES scientists went
to the forest to learn about outdoor fire safety, forest ecosystem, and make smores. Fromusing foraging pouches to collect items to walking the Tom Holden Trail, the kids had an amazing time.
The next forest outing is scheduled for January so watch for upcoming information and we can't wait to have you join us!!
