🏀🔥 BATTLER OF THE WEEK 🔥🏀
Finlee Heien | Sophomore Guard
Finlee has been one of our most consistent players this season, bringing relentless defensive pressure and confident leadership on the offensive end. She’s making smart decisions with the ball, attacking the rim aggressively, and stepping up as both a playmaker and shooter.
Her commitment to improving her game shows every day—and it paid off in our last matchup vs. Howard with 15 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, and 3 steals.
Proud of the work you’re putting in, Finlee. Keep it rolling! ❤️🖤#BattlerOfTheWeek #BattlerPride #GBB
The 3rd grade class, under Mrs. Wuttke's instruction, arrived back from break yesterday with a case to crack!
Mrs. Mikkelsen was missing!!
Together they use their skills of inferencing and drawing conclusions from the crime scene evidence and suspect interviews to solve the crime.
Once again.... Mrs. Ahlemeier was found guilty! Maybe next year she'll get away with it! 😉
Great work 3rd graders 👏🏼
