The club also awards students with the High School Student of the Month, an honor that nine students get each year. The club gives the students a plaque that recognizes their accomplishments, Piel said. And whenever Cheese Days comes around, club members team up with the Pizza Pit to sell pizza to raise money, president-elect Christine Morgan said. The club is planning to hold a silent auction this year since it's an off-year for Cheese Days. The club always helps with the Balloon Rally, Piel said.
Members do everything from taking tickets to assisting individual balloonists.
Other projects include raising money for a new dormitory facility for Badger Camp located near Prairie du Chien. The club was also able to raise money for the StateLine Ice and Community Expo to help provide the scoreboard and clock. For that program, the club sponsors courses for students. Volunteers from the club and the community come in and walk through the basics of a community from the mayor to even the fire department, Morgan said. Students can learn the basics of running a business, how to balance a checking account and other useful skills.
