Robotics ~ Old and New
Submitted by: Valerie Truscinski, FIRST Robotics Coach
On January 9, 2021, Badger
School’s FIRST Robotics team attended their
annual “Kick-off” for the 2021 season. This
season looks quite different from years past.
Due to schools throughout the country not
being able to meet in person to build a robot,
FIRST headquarters has decided all
competitions will be held virtually, utilizing
last season’s robot and continuing last
season’s Infinite Recharge game. The
competitions are aimed at testing design and
skills . Robots will be judged virtually on
their design, and then a separate virtually
judged competition will occur that will
include skills
challenges for drive teams. More than ten additionally judged
awards including Chairman’s Award, Dean’s List Award, and
Entrepreneurship Award will also happen virtually.
Team 3750 – Gator Robotics has been meeting Monday
through Thursday this season, following COVID guidelines. During
the earlier meetings this season, the team decided their priorities for
the 2021 season. Currently, they are in the process of designing and
building a new, unique robot that does not pertain to the FIRST
Robotics season. Team members and mentors chose to create a new
robot from scratch, concentrating on CAD design prior to the actual
build. This robot will perform specific tasks once it is complete. A
reveal of the new robot will happen later this year. Team 3750 chose
this route to give veteran members the opportunity to teach new
members the process of robot building, while giving senior members
the opportunity to build one final robot before they graduate. The
team also intends on competing in several of the FIRST design and
skills challenges this season with last
season’s robot as well.
In April, the Northern
Minnesota Robotics Conference
(NMRC) will hold an in-person
competition in Bemidji, Minnesota,
with strict safety protocols in place to
give teams the opportunity to
compete for the Conference
Championship using last season’s
robot. Teams will only be allowed a
small number of team members and
mentors to participate with no
spectators. The event will be
broadcasted, and a link to that event
will be announced soon. Look for
more information on the Badger
Robotics Facebook page closer to the
date of the competition.

Ramp-Up Topics for March
Submitted by: Stacey Warne, Dean of Students
GRADE 6: Why is it important for students to aspire to go to college and how can they pay for it? These two big questions will
drive the learning for Ramp-Up topics this month. This unit provides a way for students to begin to understand the average salaries
adults earn based on their level of education, how much colleges cost, and how attaining a postsecondary credential or degree will be
beneficial to them in the long run. Parents might want to check out the following websites to learn more: https://
bigfuture.collegeboard.org/compare-colleges and www.mnprivatecolleges.org/paying.
GRADE 7: Students will be focusing on the knowledge and skills that build a belief that they really can attend college. Each
student needs to develop a belief in his or her own abilities and how those abilities will positively impact their future. This unit
encourages students to identify their individual strengths in terms of knowledge and skills needed for college so they can further
create an understanding and belief in themselves as college-going students.
GRADE 8: Students will gain a better understanding of the costs of two-year and four-year colleges, and what the differences are
between public and private colleges. Parents may be interested in visiting this link to learn more about comparing the costs of
colleges: https://bigfuture.collegeboard.org/compare-colleges. The sticker price of college is not necessarily the price you will have
to pay. Eighth graders will also be learning the ways they can pay for college including grants, scholarships, loans, savings, and work
study.
GRADE 9: During March, students will be introduced to 21 st century skills. They will explore the area of career and technical
education (CTE) programs and classes that are offered at Badger High School to help introduce them to a wider range of options for
future employment, including those in the trades area. Ninth graders will also be using a free online tool called Quizizz to help them
review key concepts, terms, and ideas related to 21 st century skills. Students will also look at what options for earning college credit
are available to them while they are still attending high school.
GRADE 10: What are some options for after high school? In March, sophomores will investigate the college admission process,
assess themselves on where they stand with regard to the process at this point, and learn about the purpose of admission exams like
the ACT and SAT. Options in the military will also be discussed. Students will learn about the differences between military officers
and enlistees, and why credentials are an option for the latter.
GRADE 11: During March, juniors will be shown tools to help them begin to narrow their postsecondary options based on
specific criteria like majors offered, type of degree program, school demographics, and more. Vocational, 2-year and 4-year colleges
are explored, as well as apprenticeships. One of the goals for this month is to make sure students are aware of the range of options
available and even if they may not be interested in a particular option, learning about it can help them respect their classmates’
choices. Juniors will also understand the influencing factors when choosing a school, the importance of campus visits, and the ideas
of “safe,” “match,” and “stretch” colleges.
GRADE 12: Seniors will be reviewing the importance of setting and working hard to achieve their goals. Students will learn
about the goal-setting process, formulating their own goals, and the importance of perseverance as it pertains to meeting long-term
goals like earning a college degree and finding a rewarding career.

If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
Trey Rinde (1st grade): Save people fr om monster s.
Tayleigh Stoppelman (2nd grade): My super power would be to tur n into a unicor n so I could help the cops with r obber s. I
would bring people where they needed to go if their car broke down.
Rogan Hanson (3rd grade): If I had a super power , I would have super speed because if I am late for the bus I could r un to
school. I would want to be the fastest in my class. Then I could beat everybody in a race.
Wyatt Jenson (4th grade): Probably strength because I can lift really heavy stuff.
Quynn Washington (5th grade): If I could have any super power , it would be Flash speed. I want that super power not just for

Student Opinion
By: Arika Pickhartz
What are the most important things you should learn in school?
Ivan Olafson: I per sonally think life skills for communication, shop for hands-on jobs, and English for writing formal emails.
Ada Lee: I think one of the most impor tant things you should lear n in school is how to communicate and having leader ship
skills. Being able to express yourself easily is always the key to communication and leadership. Telling people how you feel and
talking clearly will help other people understand you.
Hannah Wilt: One of the most impor tant things you should lear n in school is being kind and accepting of other people.
Learning how to problem solve and work with others is also something important you should learn in school.
Tia McKinnon: I believe that the most impor tant things schools should teach students ar e how to pr epar e for job inter views
and how to make and maintain friendships in adulthood. Schools are the foundation for everyone’s education and work ethic, so it is
necessary to teach everyone how to properly apply for a job. Also, teaching how to make and keep friends in the workplace will help
people to make connections within their field and will give them a better chance of getting a higher positioned job through word of
mouth.

Writings from Mrs. Dahlgren’s English Class
A New Beginning
By Kasen Swenson
High school has been bitter-sweet with many ups and downs, but through it all, I remember
my mom always saying: W ork hard and good things will come your way. I abided by this saying for
many years and will continue following this throughout my life.
I am fortunate that my family has been so supportive these past years-- from supporting my
great love of athletics to providing a warm bed to rest in at night. They have given me everything
and more, and as I leave the warmth of my home, I realize that not only am I leaving my family
behind, but I am also leaving a bigger family--the Badger community.
Generations of my family have attended Badger Community School throughout the years.
My great-grandfather was the superintendent of Badger High School in the mid to late ‘90s. Also,
my grandma and grandpa, and all their children, and all their children have attended Badger School.
We are a family with deep roots in the Badger community, and I am extremely proud of this.
A family member I really rely on is my mom. She is the one person I can share anything
with. If I have a bad day, my mom is the first person I go to. She pushes me to be the best. Whether
it is academics or athletics, she drives me to be nothing less than perfect.
My parents know that I do best when I am under pressure. Apparently, I inherited this trait
from them. I have realized that when my parents kept a close eye on me during high school, they
were just trying to keep me from slipping up. That pressure is what will help me with many of life’s
challenges, and I’m ready to take them head-on. No matter what is at stake, I am fortunate to have
my family’s support and guidance each step of the way.
My family is just one piece of my Badger family. Through the years, the Badger community has been more than just a
school, more than just a sports team, and more than just a town. It has been my extended family, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything
in the world. This type of community is what many people see only in movies; we are a close-knit family that many only envy.
The best thing about our community is the connection with those who live here. If you need anything, you can run to your
neighbors and ask for it. If you need your driveway plowed after a big snowstorm, your neighbor’s little boy will be over bright and
early to shovel. We are fortunate to have this.
I will miss this community dearly as I venture off to another town and settle down where I don’t know anybody. It will be
hard, no doubt, but in the end, it will all work out because my family, the community, and the school have prepared me for this
world, and I am ready.
As I near the end of this chapter in my life, I am anxiously looking forward and keeping my head held high. I am ready to
march off to the next stage in life. As graduation approaches, I will reflect on the community, athletics, arts, academics, etc., and
think of how lucky I was to grow up in a community where there is so much love and aspiration to do great things.
I want to thank everyone who stepped in along the way and made an impact on my classmates and me. Your continued
support does not go unnoticed. Barack Obama once said: W e did not come to fear the future; we came to shape it. Now it is our duty
as the Class of 2021 to go out and shape the future as well as our own individual lives. Though it may seem scary at first, knowing
we have the strength of family and community behind us, makes the future much more exciting.

Band Musician of the Month
Raegen Maahs
Grade: 10th
What instrument do you play and why did you choose this instrument? I play the tr umpet,
but I originally chose the French horn but I broke both of my arms and could not hold the French
horn, so the trumpet was my next best choice.
If you had to change your instrument, what would you pick? The Fr ench hor n because that
was the instrument I originally wanted to play.
What is your favorite song to play? Crazy T rain because it is upbeat and ener getic.
If you could pick a theme for Music Revue, what theme would you pick? If I could pick a
theme, I would pick a Disney Theme.
What is your most memorable moment in band? My most memor able moment in band was
when we got to go down to The Cities and provide entertainment for the Minnesota School Board
Association Annual Conference.
What advice would you give to younger musicians? Always ask questions when you ar e
confused and take lessons. They really help.
Who inspired you to be part of band? Most definitely Ms. Er ickson, Kasen Swenson, and
Lexi Rud.
