The Black River Falls School District is incredibly proud to celebrate Ava Gilberg-Stroud (Class of 2025) for being named one of PBS News Student Reporting Labs' "20 under 20" storytellers.

Ava was recognized for her  "On Our Minds" podcast story, which shares how music helped her feel closer to her father. It is a powerful piece of journalism that highlights the talent emerging from the district.

Beyond her storytelling, Ava is a truly well-rounded Tiger, shining on the stage, excelling on the mat, and performing in our honors ensembles. Read about Ava’s work here: https://studentreportinglabs.org/.../meet-2025s-20-under.../
