From the Desk of Kim Ninabuck

7-12 Principal

We are getting ready for graduation and the seniors have started counting down the days. The seniors last day of classes will be Wednesday, May 20 and graduation is at 7:00 P.M. on Friday, May 22, 2015. The seventh and eighth grades finished up the Badger State Tests on Monday 4-27-15. We have a few make-ups to complete with individual students. The ninth and tenth grade students will be working on their ACT Aspire tests starting Monday, May 4 and finishing up on Thursday, May 14. As the weather warms up, we need to work together to keep our students in school and on track. Keep in mind that the Bowler School District has a dress code (in the Student Handbook) that is board approved and needs to be followed. Remind students to please dress appropriately for school. The 4th quarter is one of the hardest quarters to complete as the weather gets nice and students want to be outside. Skyward access is available to all parents if they have internet access. Please do not hesitate calling teachers about how your son/daughter is doing in school. We need to work as a team for the benefit of all our children. Please call the High School office if your son/daughter is going to be absent. Summer School information is available. Make sure you get your son/daughter registered for classes as soon as possible. If you need a summer school brochure please contact Beth Fuerst in the high school office. Remember Homework Club is available Tuesdays and Thursdays if students need assistance in keeping up with assignments or just need a quiet place to study. We have many good things going on in Bowler, let’s continue to strive for excellence with our students! Enjoy the warm weather, come visit a softball, baseball, or track meet and cheer on our athletes!

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY NEWS The National Honor Society of the Richard H. Liska Memorial Chapter will have five students graduating this 2015 school year. The graduating students from Bowler High School are: Liana Matz, Cody Montez, Cassandra Brei, Zachary Olson, and Drew Payne. In her exit interview Liana Matz informed us that she will be attending NTC in the fall with a degree plan of Early Childhood Education. She chose this plan as she enjoys working with children and feels she understands their learning abilities. Her favorite academic memory at Bowler High School was chemistry class where she got to see specific chemicals put together for chemical reactions. Cody Montez spent two years in NHS at Bowler High School; in his exit interview he informed us that he will be attending UW-Madison with a degree plan of Biomedical Engineering, working in that field when he is done with schooling. Cody will move to wherever the job is! His favorite academic memory was competing and trying to solve problems at math meets. He is the salutatorian of the class of 2015. Cassandra Brei entered NHS this past year because she believed it would help her become a better person and enhance her future opportunities. She plans on going to Marian University in the fall majoring in Forensic Science with a minor in Chemistry and Computer Forensics. She plans on being a forensic analyst. Her favorite academic memory at school was chemistry class. Zachary Olson entered the NHS this past year to see what opportunities would present themselves in the club. He hopes that the PBIS/NHS School store continues and has fond memories of Bowler High School and the quiz bowl and math meets. He plans on going to UW-Green Bay for General or Electrical Engineering. Drew Payne has been in NHS for two years, and stated in his exit interview that he applied to NHS because he thought it would be fun and look good on a college application. He plans to attend the University of Minnesota Twin Cities majoring in Food Science with a minor in Meat Science. He also has a favorite academic memory of math meets in Stevens Point. He is the valedictorian of the class of 2015. Please join me in giving praise to our academic elites at Bowler High School as we wish them well in their future endeavors! Warmest Regards, Kathleen Hansen Bowler High School NHS Advisor

   

SUPER MILEAGE VEHICLE NEWS The Super Mileage Vehicle class had their first competition on April 17th and 18th in Menomonie Wisconsin on the campus of UW-Stout. Bowler High School students

entered two vehicles into this first WEEVA event of the season, number 66 and number 68. The students have been working extra hours the last couple of weeks to get

ready for the event and in my opinion it still wasn’t quite enough for the simple reason that they didn’t have time to make test runs. We left for Stout at 8:15 Friday

morning and arrived at the event 3 hours later and both teams went through inspections. The inspections include tests for vision, size of vehicle, evacuation from the

vehicle, stopping distance and maneuverability. Both the 66 and the 68 made it through the inspection phases without any issues. On Saturday it was a different story

as both cars had a whole host of problems to deal with; from leaky gaskets at the carburetor on the 66 to a bent sprocket on the 68. However, this is what Super

Mileage Vehicle is all about; dealing with problems as they arise and correcting them. Both teams made corrections and did well enough to win three awards; 66 got

second place in gas mileage averaging 190 miles per gallon and 68 got third place averaging 130 miles per gallon. The team also brought back to Bowler a third award,

the team spirit award.

On Friday April 24th and 25th, the Bowler Super Mileage and Electrathon vehicles made their way to Appleton and Kaukauna to a competition hosted by Fox

Valley Technical College (FVTC) and to Wisconsin International Speedway (WIR). The competition was a very valuable learning experience for all of the Bowler

students involved. In its first year as a class, they built two new vehicles and refurbished another for a total of three vehicles competing at the event. None of

the vehicles went through the two day event without some sort of breakdown, some were more serious than others. The #68 car had a whole host of issues

starting with safety inspections on Friday. The vehicle's main members consisting of juniors Jared Rickert, Cole Beirman and Case Wildenberg who were able to

overcome these minor issues before moving onto the braking and maneuverability. Beirman was the driver for this portion of the contest and he sailed through

the braking inspection without incident. Things did not go as well in maneuverability though, halfway through the course the car lost a heim nut which caused

the front left wheel to become unattached from the vehicle. Contest officials gathered around the disabled vehicle to discuss the fate of the car. They gathered

the team together and asked them what their solution was to fixing the car and after several minutes of discussion the officials told them what had to be

done. The team acquired the parts needed to fix the problem and finished the maneuverability station the next day. On the track the vehicle was mechanically

sound, but the crew was disappointed with the results, as the car struggled to get to the 100 mile per gallon mark. The #66 team was told that their vehicle was

not up to safety code as stated in the WEEVA parameters, however, they were allowed to compete but the corrections would have to made by the next

event. Jacob Stewart was the driver for the braking and maneuverability and had no problems in the braking station. Stewart then moved over to

maneuverability, where the car shined brightest, as he whistled through the course in 18 seconds beating the next team by 2 seconds taking 1st place in the

contest. On the track, the #66 car was also driven by Cody Thiex and Jacob Strassburg where the vehicle averaged 160 MPGs before both mechanical and engine

issues ended their day. The new electrathon car is #64 and was not quite ready when the team arrived at FVTC, as we needed to stop on the way there to

purchase the required mirrors. Upon unloading the trailer, the team, led by Drew Payne, attached the mirrors and had no issues getting through

inspections. Payne took the car to braking and maneuverability and was outstanding in the braking contest where he was able to bring the vehicle to a stop in 9

feet which was good enough to bring home a 1st place trophy. In the Electrathon competition, the goal is to travel as far as you can in one hour or until your

battery power is depleted. In the two heats, in which Payne drove in, was able to go 17 and 16 miles before the batteries ran out of energy. In the final heat,

Cole Bierman took the driver's seat and was able to get another 16 miles. When the results were added up, the Bowler team was awarded a 3rd place trophy in

their class. The 2 day contest was a valuable learning experience for the Bowler SMV students for developing organization skills, communication skills, and to

work together as a team to help each other accomplish a goal.

WHAT ARE WE DOING IN MR. IGL’ S PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLASSES IN APRIL The preschool and kindergarteners worked with reviewing skills and tag games. The second graders worked on batting/striking skills with and without a tee, along with reviewing skills and tag games. The fourth and fifth graders worked on softball/baseball skills and activities. The sixth through eighth grade worked on softball/baseball skills and games. Spring is finally here and I am hoping to get outside a little more with the students.

MRS.S’ PHYS.ED CLASS

I can’t believe the school year is almost over. This will be the last chalk dust for the school year. The “BUCKY” winners were; Mrs. Dantoin’s first grade class with 17 points, and then the afternoon Pre-school with 21 points. Way to go!! The “JORDY”winner was; Ms. Gotlaere’s first grade class with 389 laps. Way to go first graders!! The STAR of the month was Miley Moreno for running the whole time during running for Jordy. Way to go Miley!! The classes will still be competing for “JORDY” & “BUCKY” until the end of the school year. High School is still working on their core and flexibility. Some of the students have improved on this, and this is nice to see. I have heard some students saying, “Hey! I can finally touch my toes, or I feel more flexible.” This makes me feel good to know that their hard work is paying off. Let’s hope they can keep this going through the summer. Have a great summer and see you next year!!
