"The students in the new All Around the House course spent the end of semester 1 learning the basics of automotive maintenance; including how to change their tires, oil, and filters. The students really enjoyed learning how to do some of these tasks themselves that will help save them money in the future! The BFHS tech ed department would like to specially thank @kunes auto for donating a car to the program that the students have been able to work on. Without it we would not have been able to run this unit."

Each high school was paired with an area restaurant/resort and Big Foot High School was honored to have been paired with Geneva National Resort. We placed a close second in both categories of 1) deconstructed hot dog and 2) tubed meat. This sold out event is already being planned for next year. Big Foot High School was well represented by Elliot & Wyatt Vail and Lillian Gibbs. Special thanks to Nick Vail and Daniel Foods of Walworth for the sausage making machine. Finally to Jonny, Adam and Daylan of Geneva National, who gave their very best and treated our kids with genuine support and encouragement!
Good luck to the Big Foot high school students who will be competing in this. There's still time to go tomorrow if you would like to watch the competition.

Article from Lake Geneva Regional news written by Travis Devlin
It was another week of some spectacular play from Badger, Big Foot, and Williams Bay student-athletes in their respective sports.
With that said, I have selected two athletes and one team for this week.
Big Foot Girls Basketball team of the week.
Is selecting a team of the week cheating? Sure. But I have previously selected a couple deserving athletes of the week from the Big Foot girls basketball team, and this is a way to work around that. But more importantly, they deserve it.
I don’t think anyone would disagree that Big Foot had hoped for more wins by this point in the season, however their 62-53 comeback victory over Whitewater on Tuesday, Jan. 14 will be one to remember.
Big Foot was down by as much as eight in the second half after heading into halftime up 24-21. Big Foot junior Mya Gonzalez (previous athlete of the week), who had 17 points and 10 rebounds (Double-Double) in the game, noted that she and the rest of the team “really wanted this win,” and they certainly showed that in the second half.
Sophomore Leah Paulsen (previous athlete of the week) had 19 points in the second half, including four 3-pointers and 23 points total, Ava Schoonover had 10 rebounds and senior Natalie Klamm finished with six points, seven rebounds, five assists, three steals and two blocks. Kate Hummel finished with five points, including a late 2-pointer to pull away and Allie Stankevitz (junior) tallied six points, both of which came on two deep 3-pointers early in the contest.
👏 Congratulations to Evan Henningfeld for being honored with the 2025 DAR Good Citizen Award at Big Foot High School! 🏆 This award celebrates dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism. Evan's involvement in sports, student government, and FFA showcases his commitment to our community. 🌟 What do you think makes a great leader? Drop your thoughts below! 👇 #GoodCitizen #CommunityHero
Big Foot students will be participating in this. It takes place on January. 26th 2025 at Lake Lawn Resort.
