It has been an exciting season for the team as they've shown tremendous growth in their defensive play and movement of the ball. The team will be battling it out on the court next Tuesday as they take on the Dollar Bay Blue Bolts in the Dennis Massoglia 8th Grade Tournament in Calumet. Go Wildcats!

While on the Hanka Homestead field trip, 4th graders got apples from the orchard. The Hanka family was known for their good apples, which was one source of income for them. The 4th graders made applesauce with some of the apples and peeled & cut up the rest to make apple crisp.
The Wildcats had a great afternoon on the court and out on the trail. The girls' basketball team took on the Copper Island Academy at home. The girls had their best game of the season with multiple players scoring big. In addition, everyone played incredible defense with numerous takeaways and rebounds. In the end, the Wildcats scored 45 points and their opponents scored 17.
Out on the trail, the boys' cross country team competed at the Houghton Invite. Liam and Bentley Kinnunen finished the race in 2nd and 3rd place!
Great job Wildcats!
Good luck to our cross country runners today @ the Houghton Invite!

The fourth graders are reading the book Living on Sisu, a fictional story set in the Copper Country during the time of the copper mining strike in the early 1900’s.
They visited the Hanka Homestead, which was the residence of Herman & Miina Hanka after Herman had gotten hurt in a mining accident. The Homestead tour gave the 4th graders a picture of what life was like in the Keweenaw 100 years ago.

The Wildcat cross country team competed in the Regional Finals this afternoon at the MTU Trails. Schools participating in the meet included Houghton, Calumet, Chassell, Baraga, Copper Island Academy, Dollar Bay, Hancock, Jeffers, LL Wright, Wakefield, and West Iron County.
With a clap of thunder and the starter's gun, our runners were off battling their way through the crowded trails. What began as a run through beautiful fall weather, turned out to be a race through torrential rain, hail, and wind.
The Wildcats represented our school well, with each one of them pushing beyond what is comfortable and exhibiting the SISU spirit.
Sela Niska took first place in the girls' race. Finishing top ten in the two races were Meren Niska (7th), Liam Kinnunen (4th), and Bentley Kinnunen (5th).
Way to go athletes and coaches! GO WILDCATS!!!
The 5th-graders at E.B. Holman have been enjoying learning about rocks and minerals through the use of many different resources this year in and out of the classroom. They have been able to hold, observe, and classify rocks/minerals through an in-class collection and will have the opportunity this week to dig for fossils from North Carolina in their own individual kits and compare their finds to ones they have found in or around Lake Superior. Additionally, students were able to go on a field trip to the A.E. Seaman Mineral Museum at Michigan Tech to have the opportunity to see approximately 4,000 specimens from around the world!
Good Luck to our Cross Country Runners!! Go WildCats!

Mr. Kulju's class celebrated Johnny Appleseed Day on September 26th. Along with great books and reading activities, the class had the opportunity to taste test different apples and rank them in order by taste. They worked as a class to graph the results. Students also made beautiful lifecycle diagrams for apple trees. In addition, students had the opportunity to peel and slice apples that were then cooked down and turned into delicious applesauce. We had wonderful parent volunteers that assisted in the classroom during this fun and educational activity.
