🧬Students in Ms. Pilgrim’s science class teamed up with Mr. Kotek in the middle/high school library makerspace for an exciting extension project: designing and 3D printing their own plant cells! Using TinkCAD, students created each part of the cell, then brought their designs to life with Bambu Studio and the makerspace printers. This project was a super fun way to go beyond the textbook and dive deeper into cell structure through hands‑on learning. Best of all, students walked away with their own 3D models they can use to study, share, and even teach others. Talk about learning in action! 🌱 #CadottHORNETS

Cadott second graders have been diving into stories about influential people who defy the odds and today, they got to meet someone from right here in our community who’s about to do just that! 👣 Local adventurer Sean Keck is preparing to hike the entire Appalachian Trail, starting in Georgia and ending all the way in Maine. That’s 2,200 miles of mountains, forests, and determination, a journey that will take about six months to complete. 🌄 Sean visited our second graders to talk about the power of a positive attitude and how you can achieve anything you set your mind to. His message was the perfect real‑life example of perseverance and big dreams in action. 🌟 He’ll be documenting his adventure on YouTube, and you can follow along using the link below: 🔗 https://youtube.com/@seankeckat2026?si=cZ1o0fouLoO4YKJ #CadottHORNETS

🤼‍♂️ A Big Day for the Cadott Wrestling Club 🤼‍♀️ The Cadott Wrestling Club had an amazing day hosting its home meet in Cadott on Sunday, January 11th. The club extends a huge thank you to all the parents and community members who helped make the event such a success. The meet offered countless opportunities for the 90 youth wrestlers in attendance to practice the values the program teaches. Although Cadott did not enter an official team as the host school, Cadott wrestlers made a strong statement on the mat with an impressive total of 57 pins recorded throughout the day. Across all levels, solid effort was on full display as wrestlers battled from the opening whistle to the final handshake. It was inspiring to see teammates supporting one another throughout the gym as they moved from mat to mat. More important than the results was the sportsmanship shown. Wrestlers demonstrated respect for opponents, officials, and the process regardless of the outcome. It was a proud day to be a Hornet parent, wrestler, coach, or fan and a powerful reminder that when effort, toughness, and doing things the right way come first, results will follow. The dual team now looks ahead to competing at the Battle by the River Duals this Sunday in Wisconsin Rapids. Go Hornets. 🐝💪 🏆 Results from the day: 1st Place Finishes: 19 2nd Place: 18 3rd Place: 23 4th Place: 19 5th Place: 11 #CadottHORNETS

🎨❄️ A Special Surprise for Cadott Kindergarten A Cadott alumni created the sweetest gift by turning the Kindergarten students’ artwork into real hats. While learning about vertical and horizontal lines, the students designed their own patterns, never expecting their creations to become something they could wear. The surprise on their faces said it all. Their artwork came to life in the most adorable way. Our Kindergarten class is incredibly grateful to the alumni who made this possible and wished to remain anonymous. Thank you for the time, care and creativity you put into every hat. They turned out absolutely precious. 🫶🏽 #CadottHORNETS
