Cultural Awareness Club

The Cultural Awareness Club is a student-initiated group formed in the 2022-23 school year. Its goal is to educate our student body when it comes to the various cultures that are represented in our hallways and promote celebration of diversity and unity.

Time to celebrate God's blessings of diversity and unity!

3rd annual Hispanic Heritage celebration is October 2, 2024, 6-8 pm

As part of Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept 15- Oct 15), we're again hosting a special night for students and families to gather, learn more about and celebrate Hispanic culture. Featuring authentic food sampling, entertainment and more, there is no cost to attend, but a free-will offering will be available.
 
You must RSVP online before September 27 so we know how much food to plan for.
Questions or to help that night, contact advisors Mr. Andy Rosenau or Mr. Dennis Leckwee. 
In October 2022, the Cultural Awareness Club held its first public event, celebrating Hispanic Heritage month! Students, families and businesses alike made a great night of authentic food sampling, ethnic displays and a message about gospel work south of the U.S. border. Since then it's become an annual event. Thanks for making it happen, Warriors and friends! We are truly better together. 💙 See all the photos on our SmugMug page. 
Black History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history.
 
The official colors of Black History Month are black, red, yellow, and green, which symbolize unity and pride. The colors are derived from the Ethiopian flag and the Pan-African flag, which was created in 1920 to represent the unity of the African diaspora and Black liberation in the US.
 
"Red is the color of the blood which men must shed for their redemption and liberty; black is the color of the noble and distinguished race to which we belong; green is the color of the luxuriant vegetation of our Motherland," according to the UNIA-ACL.
 
The color yellow, from the Ethiopian flag, symbolizes justice, optimism, and equality.
 
Our Cultural Awareness Club celebrated AAPI month with the generous assistance of Lake Mills Market, manager Jonathan Jensen and Chef Jon as we offered 5 varieties of sushi for student sampling after their lunch period. It was a hit with over 350 students trying a roll, often even adding wasabi, ginger and/or seaweed!
