After 45 years of helping students pursue their dreams, woods teacher Mark Schirmer is retiring to pursue one of his own.
“I’m going to create an Etsy store,” Schirmer said. “I go to holiday open houses and sell stuff and people have been very receptive to it. They tell me that I need to do an Etsy store so that I can get world wide and I can sell all this stuff. I want to do high end, like jewelry boxes, furniture, stuff like that.”

The robotics team worked on their robot, Fred, to prepare for the FRC Worlds competition. “I was working with the bumpers on our robot that protect [the] frame [for] when we hit or bump into something,” Neaderhiseri said. “We have put a lot of work into building and coding the robot and have run into many difficulties but we have overcome every issue.” photo by Jack Pischke](https://smnw.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/JPischkeRoboticsteam-7-1-1200x795.jpg)
