Twenty-five GHS students participated in the Wisconsin High School Model UN Conference March 19-20 at UW-Madison. Students represented the countries of Ukraine, Malaysia, Portugal, and Mozambique in a series of simulations, including General Assembly, Security Council, Human Rights Council, and European Union. Students researched a variety of global issues such as climate change, nuclear energy, disarmament, and genetic engineering and wrote position papers laying out their country's views. They then met with and collaborated with students from around the region and drafted resolutions to tackle these issues. One student brought home an award for best position paper, representing Mozambique in the African Union simulation! Congratulations and great job GHS MUN!

GMS students are taking on the role of Student Librarian by creating library displays for students to receive recommendations on their favorite books. This Panther created the first Student Librarian Display. She came up with the concept, designed the sign and chose which books to include. This project is a great way to promote literacy, student leadership, and peer-to-peer relationships. #PantherPride #LearnGrowEngageGreendale #CultivatingExcellence

In the evening on March 3, College Park saw what happens when high-tech meets high energy. Their Wild Robot Event was a complete success and a total gear-shifter! They thank all the incredible parents and students who turned their "wilderness" into a playground of innovation. It wasn't just about nuts and bolts; it was about seeing the next generation of engineers, designers, and problem-solvers bring some their mechanical creations to life. From the first spark of an idea to the final robot the creativity on display was truly off the charts. When you mix curiosity with technology, the results are nothing short of electric.

Last week, GHS Biomedical Innovations students presented the results of their recent experiments. Using posters to showcase their learning, students explained how they acquired data and statistically analyzed it to determine if groups had significant differences in results. Each group tested physical abilities and strengths of peers, comparing things like grip strength between track and tennis players, lung capacity of wind instrument players and the general population, vertical jump ability of cheerleaders and basketball players, the oxygen capacity of swimmers and wind instrument players, and other topics. Their findings were interesting and their research and analysis skills impressive! Great work, Panthers.

A group of students attended the Northwestern Mutual/Milliman Actuary Science Seminar at the NM Headquarters in Downtown Milwaukee last week. The students learned about education necessary to become an actuary and received information on internships available for this career path. They spent time finding out about the typical "Day in the Life" of an Actuary, the Actuary Exams, and the Actuarial Career Path. They also explored a case study example and finished the day with a Q&A from two top executives from NM and Milliman. #LearnGrowEngageGreendale

Greendale 4th graders visited JA BizTown, a simulation where students work together in businesses to learn how an economy and community work. They earn paychecks for their work, support the town's businesses by shopping at them, all while working together to help their community run smoothly. We are also incredibly proud of our students for the positive way they represented Greendale at BizTown. They demonstrated leadership, responsibility, and teamwork, and we received wonderful feedback about their behavior and effort. Great job, Panthers!
