Senior Spotlight: Sophie Carr
Future Plans: I plan on furthering my education at UW- La Crosse, with and undecided major.
Favorite Teacher & Why: My favorite teachers were Ms Sciborski and Mr Roberts, although I never really understood the science that we were learning they always found a way to make it fun. I will never forget that saucer thing that filed with air that we rode down the hall with Ms Sciborksi. Mr Roberts was always there for you, no matter if you needed to laugh, cry, or get serious and grind out homework and studying. He always held me accountable for my homework and made sure I got it done. Thank you Mr Roberts for the countless zoology walks around the school, gross dissections, and for always telling me and McKenna that we did a good job singing the Friday Song, Karaoke Style, even though we were always off beat and singing the wrong words.
Favorite Pec Memory: My favorite memory happened because I joined the Golf Team Sophomore year with my best friends (3 years later and were still going strong). We were headed to practice one day when all of a sudden we ran over a goose with the school van. Everyone was in shock for a minute then we all died laughing. We vowed that we would never speak of it again, but this ones for you Cher, thanks so much for all the laughs, talks, and stories over the last 3 seasons.

Next week we are kicking off the detailed planning stage for our capital referendum projects. We anticipate the detailed planning process will last until October. The district will then go out for bids in December/January with official construction starting in the spring of 2024. Construction will then wrap up during the summer of 2025. It is our desire to have Facility Advisory Committee (FAC) to help serve as advisors to the district during the planning and construction phases. Do you have specialized knowledge in the field of construction, HVAC, electrical, interior design, etc.? Or just want to be a part of the referendum process? If so, we would love to have you join this advisory committee! We anticipate the FAC will meet at least monthly (at night), possibly more often, depending on how fast the planning process happens. The FAC will be advisory in nature. If you would like to be a part of the FAC, please send Dr. Scott an email at dscott@pecatonica.k12.wi.us. We look forward to our communities' help during these exciting times! #VikingNation #PecatonicaProud
