6th graders recently went to the school forest to do a variety of different activities. One of the activities was shelter building. Using what they found in nature, they were to construct a shelter that would keep them safe in the elements! They all did a great job and had a lot of fun!

Special Thanks to Hoffmaster - Creative Converting in their generous donation of $3000 to support student field trips for hands-on learning, training, and investigating.
Each year, tens of thousands of volleyball players, coaches and families across the country join together to host fundraising events for breast cancer awareness. Our volleyball team is working with The Side-Out Foundation's Dig Pink Movement and ThedaCare Family of Foundations, which are both 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations to join the fight against cancer.
The sport of volleyball, through its efforts, is driving change in the way that breast cancer is treated. Less than five percent of breast cancer research funding goes toward metastatic breast cancer which makes the Dig Pink campaign focus on research for metastatic disease unique and very important. ThedaCare Family of Foundations, through donor dollars, provides services to local patients such as gas cards, camisoles for mastectomy patients, cosmetology services such as skin care, scalp care, hair shaving, and wigs. All services through ThedaCare Family of Foundations are free of charge to alleviate some stress on patients and their families in their fight against all stages of breast cancer.
Please attend tonight's game and if possible, support the fight against Breast Cancer!

Thank you all of our hard working staff that instruct ART curriculum. Arts in education is so important for our students quality of life, their mental health, and many other skills. Not to mention the importance of understanding the world around us that is filled with art and music wherever we go. Can you even imagine a world without different building designs, colors, no melodies, background music, etc?
Clintonville Welcomes Eric Jensen.
I am thrilled to join the teaching staff at Clintonville Middle School this year! Teaching has always been my passion. I’ve been happily married to my wife, Danielle, for 29 years, and we are proud parents to five wonderful children, ranging in age from 11 to 27. Originally from California, I’ve been calling Wisconsin home for the past five years.
In addition to 26 years of experience as a Pastor, I’ve also had the pleasure of teaching students from elementary through middle school. Of all the grades I’ve taught, 8th grade holds a special place in my heart!
I have a deep love for travel and have explored a variety of countries, including Turkey, Romania, Norway, Sweden, Mexico, Canada, Belize, Brazil, and Cambodia. My passion for learning extends beyond the classroom—I’ve studied German, Spanish, Turkish, Arabic, Farsi, Norwegian, and Portuguese. For me, learning is a lifelong adventure.
When I'm not traveling or studying languages, you can find me diving into history and Sci-Fi books and movies, or enjoying video games. My favorite games include Assassin's Creed, Black Ops, Minecraft, and anything with zombies!
I look forward to meeting all the families and students this year and embarking on this exciting journey together!
Clintonville School District Welcomes Cole Pinno,
Hi all, my name is Cole Pinno (he, him, his). I graduated from the University of Wisconsin Whitewater with a degree in English Literature in 2018. Continuing my passion for higher education, I graduated from the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee with a master's degree in Adult, Continuing, Higher Education Administration in 2020.
I am an avid reader, netflixer, and hiker. While I enjoyed my time in higher education and serving college students, I felt a call to work with students in the k-12 environment. I am eager to work with high school students. I want students to know I value their individuality, work, and voices. I look forward to working and learning alongside students during their educational journey.
Welcome to the District - Lexi Retzlaff - Director of Pupil Services and Special Education
Hi Everyone!
I’m Lexi Retzlaff, the new Director of Special Education and Pupil Services for the Clintonville Public School District. From a young age, I developed a strong advocacy for students with disabilities. Having a mom who was an educator, it was no surprise that both my sister and I entered the field. Every day I have the opportunity to engage with students, families, and community members, making sure that our students with disabilities receive a fair and appropriate public education.
I received my undergraduate degree in psychology from St. Norbert College. I attended the Chicago School of Professional Psychology for my education specialist degree. While in graduate school, I worked as a special education teacher in Green Bay. After completing my program, I became a school psychologist for CESA8. Most recently, I worked for CESA9 as an Associate Director of Student Services serving multiple small, rural districts with their special education needs.
I live in Shawano with my husband, Jon, and three children, Addie, Teddy and Ainsley. We live on a small dairy farm with registered Brown Swiss. Summers for us are spent preparing our animals for shows, baking, planting and maintaining flower beds, and repairing “vintage” farm equipment. When we have a moment to spare, we are near water, spending time with friends and family.
Welcome to the District - Trevor Drake - Food Service Director
Hello! My name is Trevor Drake. I am super excited to be serving the community of Clintonville as your new Food Service Director.
I was born and raised in Stevens Point Wisconsin. My formal education is in nutrition and food systems and have been working in food service and hospitality since my first job out of
high school. Before I came to Clintonville I focused my work in developing value added markets for small farmers and was a director of a non profit that provided processing solutions for small farms.
My passion is farm to table. My goal is to implement more farm to school programming as the admiration of that programming is what made a personal goal of mine to become a school food service director. Food is the fuel that powers students and is a crucial factor to success. I believe strong and well developed local food systems just make more sense and inherently provide a focus on seasonal eating which is the key to tasty, healthy, whole foods and positive choices. I look forward to getting connected to small farmers in this portion of the state and hopefully working with the farmers I have established relationships with through my prior work experiences.
I was recently married (August 2nd, 2024) to Alyssa who is a high school culinary arts teacher. Naturally we are foodies together and enjoy traveling and indulging in food scenes from all over along with hosting friends and family to awesome home cooked meals. I am a passionate outdoors enthusiast/ conservationist who enjoys all the hunting and fishing America has to offer.
If I could hunt one thing it would be mule deer, as I prioritize at least one trip out west annually in search of this migratory deer. In the spring time you can find me steelhead fishing the tributaries of Lake Superior and Lake Michigan, which equates to what some would say an irresponsible amount of time.
