"My Fair Lady"
Belleville Middle and High School staff and students are in the midst of their spring musical production- "My Fair Lady." Nearly 30 students have a role in this year's production. A Thursday evening show was introduced for 2020, along with another on Friday night and two shows on Saturday. The show directed by Emma and Michael Vogel, with musical direction from Sara Krueger, was choreographed this year by Whitney Andersen. They brought "My Fair Lady" to new audiences, who saw it in the splendor of the renovated auditorium with updated lights, sound, and digital backdrops. Congratulations to all involved!

ACT/Wildcat Pride Day
On Tuesday, March 3, juniors all across the state of Wisconsin took the ACT test. Our juniors at Belleville High School did the same. In addition, our freshmen and sophomores also engaged in ACT practice tests to gauge their current skills. Individual ACT results should begin filtering in by mid-April.
In order to unwind after a stressful morning, all Wildcats in grades 7-12 had the opportunity to take part in Wildcat Pride Day on Tuesday afternoon. Based on meeting behavior expectations in the last month, middle school students traveled to Sky Zone in Madison for an hour and a half of jump time. High school students had a choice of bowling, a movie, or ice skating offsite, or remaining back at school for a study hall or an open gym.
