It's official! Big congratulations to our incredible Tiger softball players on their All-Conference honors!

Success on the diamond doesn't happen by accident. It takes countless hours of extra practice, immense dedication, and an unshakeable work ethic. We are so proud of these athletes for showing our community what true determination looks like:

Jada Olver – 2nd Team All-Conference
Morgan Berg – 2nd Team All-Conference
Samantha Berra – Honorable Mention

Thank you for your hard work and for representing Black River Falls so beautifully this season. Way to go, Tigers! #tiGRRpride

Let's send our State-bound Tiger track athletes off in true Black River Falls style! Friday morning—that's June 5—our incredible State track qualifiers are heading to Veterans Memorial Stadium for the state meet, and the fire department is giving them an escort out of town. We want to line the streets with orange and black to show them that the entire community is riding with them!

Here is the timeline and route so you can plan your cheering spot:
🏫 10:15 AM: Athletes and the fire department will meet at the high school.
🚒 10:30 AM: The escort officially leaves the school grounds.
📍The Route: The caravan will head down Main Street and travel up over the top of the bridge.

Whether you're waving a sign or cheering loudly from the sidewalk, let's make some serious noise and let these student-athletes know how proud we are of their hard work and dedication.

See you Friday morning, Tiger Country! Bring your biggest smiles and your loudest cheers! #tiGRRpride

History has a new name at the top of the record books! During a special all-school assembly last week, we had the incredible honor of celebrating senior Calvin Lakowske for a truly legendary achievement.

Cal is officially the Wisconsin All-Time Leader in Career Goals for WIAA Boys Hockey! With a mind-blowing 189 career goals, Cal has cemented his legacy not just in Black River Falls but in the history of Wisconsin high school sports.

Let’s flood the comments with "🧡🖤" and congratulations for our state record holder, Cal Lakowske! 👇

We are incredibly proud to announce that several of our student-athletes have earned WBCA Academic All-State honors. It takes a special kind of discipline to balance a varsity schedule with a heavy course load. To qualify for this prestigious statewide honor, these athletes had to maintain a cumulative career GPA of 3.5 or higher. That’s not just a good season; that’s years of hard work, late-night studying after away games, and a commitment to excellence beyond the box score.

Congratulations to our Academic All-State honorees:

Morgan Kundinger
Hayden Brown
Lily Sullivan
Olivia Larkin
Iris Zenz
Tylan Brown
Gianna Backaus

Our students aren’t just the leaders of tomorrow—they are leading today. On Thursday, March 5, our Raise Your Voice members stood alongside peers from across the state to meet with legislators and share their stories. Their mission? To advocate for critical mental health support.

By speaking directly with our state representatives, these Tigers are ensuring that young people are not just seen, but heard and supported. We are proud of their courage and commitment to making Wisconsin a healthier place for everyone. Show your support for these student advocates by dropping a "🧡" in the comments!

Educational & Career Planning Conferences start next week! Parents and guardians, don’t forget to sign up for a time to meet with your student and their counselor beginning October 2. Check your email for the signup form.

These are not traditional parent/teacher conferences. Instead, they’re a chance to focus on your students'...

✨ Talents and interests
📚 Current class progress
🎓 Future educational and career goals
🔑 Transition to high school

Conferences typically last 30–45 minutes, and your involvement is crucial. If you’re unable to attend, counselors will still meet with your student and encourage them to share what they’ve discussed with you.

We've got a big shoutout to Megan Kundinger, Sarah Halverson, and Jennifer Rukavina for hitting the 20-year milestone with the School District of Black River Falls!

For 22 years, Steven Humphrey safely transported students as a bus driver—and also served up lunches at Red Creek and the high school. With degrees in fish and wildlife biology and biblical studies, Steven has worn many hats, including teaching martial arts for over 50 years. One meaningful memory: a kind family invited him over for Christmas when the weather kept him from traveling. Steven will miss the early mornings, the extra trips, and the daily connections with students and staff. Help us wish him well as he continues teaching martial arts at Jim’s Gym! 👊 #tiGRRpride

When your coworkers share the same vision, even Mondays feel a little brighter. 🌟 Emily O’Neil, one of our awesome high school paraprofessionals, put it best: “It’s great to be a part of a team with the same vision. It makes work life fun, motivating, and most of all rewarding.” Want to feel that too? Just saying… we’ve got a pretty great team. #TeamTiger #TiGRRpride #WeLoveOurStaff

Take a pic of you reading outside, and post the photo in the comments to earn some recognition (and rumor has it...one randomly-chosen reader in the comments will get a small prize)! #brfreads
