NORSEMAN BECOMES BADGER

Strange headline but oh so true. Let me digress a bit before we get to the title of the entry...

Bonus Granddaughter Haley went through 8th grade graduation with 84 of her class mates Monday. Yep, a grand total of 85 graduates. 

Haley will join her brother Cameron next fall at the district high school. Their district now unlike when Natureman's boys went to school is a combination of 4 towns. 

With small schools it's possible to participate in many more activities. Haley's been in  volleyball and track and been able to pursue both band and choir. It was a treat to see her final band and choir performances at graduation. 

OK back to the title of this entry.

Next year Haley and the entering Westby class of 2020 will be Norsemen. The school's mascots are the Norsemen. (Remember many of this area's settlers were of Norwegian descent.)

Go Badgers!

Sunday we were at a high school graduation party for Haley's Uncle Travis. Travis just graduated from Westby High School and will be heading to  UW-Madision. And you know Wisconsin's mascot is the Badger.

Travis is a Norseman becoming a Badger.  And maybe in 4 years Haley will have the same fate?

Wishes for many good years of schooling to both Haley and Travis as they pursue their studies and passions!
