A seventh grade student, Erin Bagatta, received an Honorable Mention in the Federal Junior Duck Stamp contest for the state of Wisconsin. This contest consisted of students drawing a duck, hoping to make their creation into a postage stamp. Bagatta is a very artistic and creative middle school student and also has a piece of artwork at the Sate Youth art show at the State Fair this summer. Congratulations Erin!

8th Annual Litter Pick-Up and Papermaking
Student Reporter: Samantha Lamers
With global warming and other environmental issues on the rise, many do not understand the danger that that occurs with these problems. Fortunately, this year was the 8th annual Litter Pick-Up and Paper Making which is held by the Art Club of Cedar Grove – Belgium HS.
Mr. Urness and many students met on Saturday, April 18, 2009 at 10:00am on S. Commerce St. in Cedar Grove to begin their activities for the day. They walked along State Road 32 heading eastward towards Interstate 43 continually clearing out the area of its litter.
After the students were done with the litter-picking up portion of the day, they went back to the school for lunch followed by a group activity of paper-making. With the paper-making, they use some of the debris that they found earlier that morning and intertwine into their theme. This year, their theme for their paper-making art project is outer space.
April Bada Bing Student of the Month
Student Reporter: Lyndsey Weyker
Another month has passed, and once again it’s time to pick a new Bada Bing student of the month. Teachers vote for a student that stood out to them and has shown great academic achievement. They also look for involvement in extracurricular activities and school functions.
This month they chose Alannah Bruggink, daughter of James and Judith Bruggink. In addition to being a top-ranked student, Alannah is involved in National Honor Society, band, choir, CLC Honors, and teacher assistant. Her favorite classes are choir, Spanish IV, band, and advanced Chemistry. When asked her feelings about receiving this honor, she stated, “I’m very glad to have received this award. I’m also thankful to Mr. Epping for always voting/ for nominating me.”
Student Government Day
Student Reporter: Jarred Lucas
Student Government Day was held at the Sheboygan County courthouse in Sheboygan Wisconsin on April 15, 2009. Students from various high schools around the county were invited to participate in an advanced look into local and county wide government operations. Students were brought into the county council meeting room where they participated in a mock debate led by local 4-H leaders and a few county officials. At this debate everyone was given the opportunity to voice their opinions on the subject at hand.
After the debate was finished all the attending students were brought into the Sheboygan County Jail and shown around the facilities including holding cells, the navigation center, as well as the emergency center. While in the jail, students were given opportunities to have various questions answered by the Chief of Police in Sheboygan County. From this point the students were led into the courthouse and where allowed to again ask questions to the assistant District Attorney. Finishing up the court experience was Judge James Bolgert. He put together a mock trial and used this trial to teach the students of the trial procedure.
After the trial was over everyone in attendance was provided with a lunch, donated by the local lions clubs. The lunch was followed by a seminar about local opportunities for kids to help out in government. With lunch being over, the students where led in their two groups to the records offices and were allowed to look up local records and land ordinances. Many students seemed interested and spent a lot of time looking through land blue prints and were even allowed to take old land prints home with them. On behalf of everyone that attended Student Government Day we would like to thank the Sheboygan County 4-H club and the Lions Club of Sheboygan.
