Big Foot’s Tyler Short and Dakota Nordmeyer participated in the Stoughton Country Club golf invitational on Monday April 8th. The eclipse didn’t seem to bother Tyler Short as he shot a 77. That was good enough for 4th place out of 64 players. Great start to the season.

Some of the art students took a few moments today to witness the eclipse. "See, all that work making pinhole cameras in Photo 1 paid off!

From BFHS Photography class. . Here, Kennedy is messing with a camera we made from parts. You might recognize the bellows from an old Polaroid, the lense is from an enlarger, and the body is a portable scanner!

The students at BFHS held a fundraiser for the New Day Women's Clinic in Delavan Wi. Shown receiving the items is the Executive Director Gretyl Rabe and BF teacher Lourdes Lasanta who spearheaded the donation drive.

Ready for the opening session to start #WIFBLASLC
