Mrs. Basthemer's advisory is partnering with the local organization Campus Guardians for their Community Day volunteering! They are going to be helping decorate and pack boxes for college students who have transitioned out of the foster care system to show that someone is thinking of them and they have support! The boxes will be packed with cards of support, snacks, school supplies, fun surprises, and more.
To help out, they are looking for donations of gift cards (Walmart, Target, Amazon, Walgreens, etc - think what places college students might like or need!) or donations of cash to give to the organization and help pay for the boxes.
If you would like to help, please give any donations to Mrs. Basthemer, or drop off at the front office. Learn more about Campus Guardians and their mission at campusguardianswi.org.
Students will be notified of acceptance / waitlist status by the end of the day on January 16th.
The second enrollment application window will start on Monday, January 19, 2026 at 7:00 am and will remain open.
