In February 2026, 4th graders attended a STEAM event at the National Railroad Museum in Green Bay. Students spent the morning rotating through various stations learning about aerodynamics, the Doppler Effect, mass & velocity, and how color affects design. They were then tasked with the challenge of designing their own locomotive that incorporates everything they learned. Their locomotive was put to the test in a fun way using bowling balls and water balloons. A fun event using design thinking!

Over 150 students from around northeast Wisconsin participated in the DKG Zeta Chapter Writing Competition. Nine awards went to HSSD students in grades 3-8. In third grade a second place was earned as well as an honorable mention in the single writer category and in the newly created Duo category another honorable mention was also received. In fourth grade a third place and two honorable mentions were earned. In fifth grade an honorable mention was awarded and a first place award went to one of our Bay View students. Congratulations to all of our young authors!
