Ken Deal, who spent 8 years at Red Creek Elementary, is known for his “speed cleaning” skills and joyful spirit. A favorite memory: every class singing to him on his birthday! Originally from Salt Lake City, Ken settled in Wisconsin and earned a degree from WTC. In retirement, he’s excited to travel and spend time with family. Drop your favorite Ken memory in the comments! 👇 #tiGRRpride

After 29 years with the School District of BRF and over 40 years in the workforce, Jill Collins is retiring! She started as a bookkeeper in 1995 and has served as Director of Business Services since 2000. Along the way, she’s coached youth sports, served on community boards, and even worked as an EMT. Jill also played a key role in leading two major school referendums from concept to completion. In retirement, Jill plans to travel—Hawaii, Alaska, and the Mediterranean are already on the list—visit local wineries, and keep her accounting and golf skills sharp. Drop a comment or share a memory below to help us celebrate Jill! #tiGRRpride 🐯

Today was the last day of school, and our Red Creek and Forrest Street teachers lined the bus loop to send students off with hugs, high-fives, and lots of well wishes. There were plenty of smiles—and even a few tears (mostly from the teachers!). We’re wishing all our students and staff a fun, restful, and safe summer. ☀️ We can’t wait to see you again at Open House on August 21 from 2–6 PM! #tiGRRpride #LastDayVibes #SeeYouInAugust

This afternoon, students witnessed a powerful and emotional mock crash event in the Lunda Park parking lot, followed by impactful speakers in the theatre. The event was planned by Lily Olson, part of the FCCLA's high school chapter. Student actors included Katelyn Nosbisch, Cecil Lopez, Keanau Maphis, and Lily Olson. Local first responders from Black River Falls brought the scene to life with their involvement, making the experience all the more real. Thank you to everyone who helped make this important awareness event possible. #tiGRRpride
