Last week, the League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan non-profit, visited Bangor High School to help our Seniors register to vote. They talked about the importance of voting and showed students how to use myvote.wi.org to register, see who is on their ballot, and find the location of their polling place.
Bangor HS students encourage you, as well: Everyone, vote! The next election is on April 1.
This week, Bangor administration got out and visited with our Bangor Music Backers, Village of Bangor Board, Village of Rockland Board, Town of Washington Board, Bangor Lion's Club, and Town of Burns Board. In all of these meetings we shared information about the upcoming April 1 operational referendum. All district residents should have seen one informational mailer to this point in time and can expect a second by the end of this week or early next week. On Tuesday of next week we are offering an informational session about the referendum in the MS/HS Commons at 6:00 pm. All are welcome to attend and learn more. If you would like to learn more from the comfort of your own homes, please check out our website at https://www.bangor.k12.wi.us/page/operational-referendum-information-2024 for more information. The Q&A section was updated this morning with questions and answers from a couple of the meetings attended this week.
Please take the time to understand what the question on the ballot on April 1 means for our kids and community.
Mrs. Olson's Art of Craft and Wellness students are taking turns teaching a crafting project to elementary students. Last week Jordan Sackmaster and Liam Elsen taught their frog and flower coffee filter project to Mrs. Langrehr's second grade class.
HS Painting class has their Abstracted Architecture projects on display in the hallway across from the art room. Students researched a destination they would like to visit or have visited and then used acrylic paints on recycled cardboard boxes given to Mrs. Olson from Joann Fabric.
Middle school students grades 6-8th created an Outer Space themed Black Light Display outside of Mrs. Olson's room. 6th graders made Fantasy Outer Space Scenes. 7th grade made Space Astronaut drawings and 8th grade made Alien Sculptures.
Some of the elementary art on display at BES!
