Homecoming Dance

On Saturday night, the high school had over 80% of its students in attendance for its Homecoming Dance. The dance concluded a great week, with the Class of 2019 winning the Homecoming games by 100 points over the next closest class (the Class of 2020). Thank you to the students for showing the Wildcat Way throughout the week and to the staff, especially Mrs. Tretow, for all of their extra efforts.

The Best of Homecoming Friday

Homecoming Friday was Spirit Day. It include the senior class photo, parade, middle school dance, and football game. Homecoming Week will conclude Saturday night with the dance from 8-12. Here is a look at the day in pictures:

Homecoming King and Queen

At the end of Thursday night's pep rally, Justin Knoebl and Sydney Gentilli were announced as the 2018 Homecoming King and Queen. Congratulations to these two Wildcats!

Homecoming Lunch Games Finale

Thursday was Pajama Day for Belleville's Homecoming Week. The middle school participated in "Body Words" during the lunch games. The 8th grade won and now has a 488-328 lead over the 7th grade. The seniors extended their Homecoming games lead with another victory in dodgeball at lunchtime. We hope to see you at tonight's pep rally, before the week winds down with the parade, football game, and dance!

Wednesday's Homecoming Lunch Games

Wednesday was a day for both the middle and high school students to release some of their Homecoming energy during the lunch games. The middle school played a spirited game of dodgeball (7th grade vs. 8th grade), and the high school competed in the tug-of-war. The juniors, with superiority in both numbers and strength, easily overwhelmed the other classes and "pulled" out a victory!

Homecoming Lunch Games

Tuesday of Homecoming Week featured the first set of lunch games for both the middle and high school students. Seventh grade boys and girls played their eighth grade counterparts in kickball. While at the high school games, the senior class came out victorious in the class volleyball matches. Stay tuned for updates from Wednesday's and Thursday's games!

Powderpuff 2018

While many schools have cancelled or refused to sanction girls' Powderpuff football games in recent years due to poor sportsmanship, Belleville High School's game on the Monday night of Homecoming Week is still competitive but fun! The football players serve as coaches, and staff members referee the contests. It is a great way to begin the week.

Homecoming Rocks and Walls

To begin Homecoming Week 2018, each class presents a rock and wall to be judged. The opponent for both football and volleyball this week is Cambridge, so the themes are geared toward the Blue Jays. Overall, the judges were impressed with the students' spirit!

Wildcat Welding

Look at these Wildcats!

Mr. Neumann's Advanced Trades class started its first welding unit this past week. They are practicing GMAW, Gas Metal Arc Welding, in the new metals area of the STEAM lab.

Sparks are flying, and the fun is beginning!

Congratulations to the 2018 Belleville High School Homecoming Court. They were chosen to represent their classes by their peers earlier in the week. We are looking forward to an exciting, spirited Homecoming Week next week!

This is part of the Homecoming games, with classes competing for the most participants. So, please check-in with Mrs. Tretow to get counted. While in New Glarus, this has been a fantastic Belleville community event for the last few years. Please join us for this fundraiser, with proceeds going back to the Spirit Club and their endeavors to increase Wildcat pride!

7th Grade Low Ropes Course Field Trip

Similar to the 8th grade field trip to Bethel Horizons on Wednesday, the 7th grade traveled there today to participate in the Low Ropes Challenge. Bethel's team takes the students through warm-ups, icebreakers, and team- & trust-building activities designed for students to work and think together through beams, cables, and ropes. Once again, the weather was spectacular for this 7th grade bonding experience! 

Bethel Horizons High Ropes Course

Eighth graders from Belleville Middle School took their annual trip to Bethel Horizons High Ropes Challenge Course on Wednesday, September 12.
