Big Foot Area Schools Closing  Dear Families, Governor Tony Evers has issued a statewide closure of all schools in Wisconsin.  We will close after school on Wednesday, March 18, 2020 and tentatively reopen on April 6, 2020.  The closure will include cancellation of all school related activities and childcare.  Teachers will be sending information for virtual learning, and some may send paper work as well.   The Department of Public Instruction is working on guidance for schools, and it remains unclear if there will be any lost instructional days forgiven by the state.  More information will be made available as soon as updates are received.  Respectfully, Big Foot Area Schools Administrators

Mrs. Hummel's junior kindergarten class had a wonderful afternoon with Mrs. Penny Gruetzmacher! She read cute stories, the children played with her fabulous collection of finger puppets, and everyone enjoyed her delicious home-made cookies for snack! A big thank you to Mrs. Gruetzmacher's time, talent, and thoughtfulness! #WeLoveWalworth #WalworthJ1

The Boldger Kindergarten Bunch loved spreading joy and kindness during the “You’ve Got A Friend," kindness week. We also discovered how much our literacy skills have blossomed during the national “Read Across America” celebration of Dr. Seuss. Could it have been the glasses or the protein in the green eggs and ham? 😊 #ReadAcrossAmerica #WalworthJ1

Mrs. Janney's class had a fun week filled with many Dr. Seuss activities to celebrate Dr. Seuss' Birthday and Read Across America!  They also spent the week participating in the "Kindness Week" celebration and enjoyed spreading kindness to others! ❤📚❤ #ReadAcrossAmerica #WalworthJ1
