🍿🎨 Collaboration in Action!

For their semester final, SCHS Food Science and Graphic Arts classes teamed up for a real-world project you could imagine seeing on grocery store shelves!

Food Science students developed their own unique flavored popcorn, then partnered with Graphic Arts students who brought the products to life through eye-catching packaging designs—complete with product images, nutrition facts, and shelf-ready branding.

This hands-on collaboration gave our #ShawanoProud students from both classes the opportunity to put their skills to work, experience cross-disciplinary teamwork, and see how science and design come together in the real world.

Learning never looked, or tasted, so good! 😋

🐩🐈 LEADS first graders have wrapped up an exciting Animal Inquiry Unit!

Throughout this unit they were lucky enough to have special visits from pets belonging to families in their classroom, giving students the opportunity to ask questions, observe and learn firsthand about caring for animals. They also took a field trip to Navarino Nature Center, where students explored habitats and learned more about mammals in the natural world. 🐾

To connect learning with kindness, our class collected much-needed supplies for Joy's Place Animal Rescue, a local cat rescue. The unit ended with a visit from the director of Joy's Place, who brought along some adorable kittens looking for their forever home! ❤️

This unit was a wonderful blend of science, community involvement and compassion! Thank you to our families and community partners for making this learning experience so meaningful! 🤝

Congratulations to Hajun (John) Kim and Jillian Guenther on their selection to the 2025 WSMA State Honors Orchestra Project! 🎻

🎵 John, a junior at Shawano Community High School, devoted months of focused practice and steady resolve before completing a highly competitive audition process involving 1,500 students from across the state. His commitment earned him a place as one of only 40 violinists selected for the 120-member ensemble.

🎵 Jillian, a senior at Shawano Community High School, also dedicated months to refining her craft and preparing for the rigorous statewide audition. Her hard work secured her distinction as one of just 16 cellists chosen for this year’s 120-piece orchestra.

Both students rose to a challenge that asks for technical mastery, artistry, and endurance, and they soared. Their achievements reflect not only personal dedication but the thriving musical spirit of their school and community.

Bravo to John and Jillian! 🎶👏
