🧡💙 Throwback Thursday 💙🧡

Terry the Terror from Appleton West High School stopped by to visit the Houdini students during lunch last Friday! Not sure who was more excited- Terry or the students! The students were thrilled to meet the award winning Appleton West mascot! They can see him again as he helps the West cheerleaders pump up the crowds in the stands during games for every sport, all year long.

🎉 Teacher of the Month Celebration! 🎉

Our very own 5th grade teacher, Mr. Blank, was recently honored with the Teacher of the Month Award from 101 WIXX! 🎶

Huggie, Natalie, and Corey stopped by Houdini to surprise Mr. Blank and present him with this well-deserved award.

The student who nominated him shared:

“We nominate Mr. Blank because he is so nice and lets us do many fun things in class. He also goes to students’ sporting events. He makes school so much fun for me and everyone in my class every day, and I look forward to coming to school each day because of him.”

The student’s mom added:

“We love Mr. Blank. He is so supportive and inspiring to his students. He advocates for his students and is such a hard worker. He is well deserving of the Teacher of the Month award.”

If you’d like to hear more about their visit, be sure to check out the HNC podcast on their page. 🎧

We couldn’t agree more with everything that was said! We are incredibly lucky to have Mr. "Man Bun" Blank as part of our staff and see every day how amazing he is with our students. He truly puts his heart into teaching, building meaningful and memorable connections with his students that last far beyond the classroom. 💙📚

👏 Congratulations, Mr. Blank! 👏
