1. Children 18 or younger or someone picking up meals for them can come in during breakfast (7:45-8:25 am) or during lunch (11:45-12:40 pm) to grab a HOT "to go" meal. We have "to go" insulated closed containers. It will be ready to eat (cooked) and it is what is offered on the menu/serving line for anyone 18 and younger. It can be taken on the go and eaten wherever they want.
2. Choose a grab & go lunch and a breakfast for the next day for anyone 18 and younger. (Must come during lunch time 11:45-12:40 pm) This will be a rotation of mostly frozen menu items and not cooked. Some days it may be a sub sandwich, a lunchable and cold breakfast items. You can ask the cook what is on the menu for the day before choosing this option.
3. Choose a cold grab & go ready to eat meal. If your child that is 18 and younger would rather have a cold ready to eat meal, it will consist of a PBJ, string cheese, carrots or slushy, fruit, milk and a cold breakfast for the next day. You must pick up during lunch time 11:45-12:40 pm.
Meals will not be offered outside of meal times.
During Covid-19 Operations, anyone can pick up meals for children 18 and younger.

Congratulations to WHS Student of the Month Logan Johnson!
It is with pleasure that I nominate Logan Johnson for SOM. I have had the pleasure of getting to know Logan in my classroom for the past four years.
First and foremost, Logan is a genuine person. The authenticity and sincerity that he carries with him every day is a rare find. Being liked by his peers does not get in the way of his integrity. This does not mean that he is not well liked. On the contrary, Logan is trusted by students and staff alike.
He is a valuable member of Link Crew, a student mentoring program for incoming freshmen that I help advise, because of his approachability and inclusivity. He interacts positively with others who may be otherwise excluded by classmates. I never have to worry about which group I may ask Logan to join because he is positive and encouraging to ALL.
Logan is also an excellent student. I have noticed a maturity and growth in his work over the course of his high school career. He is thoughtful about his school work and takes the lead on asking questions when exploring ideas or for clarification. Logan embraces constructive criticism and looks to improve skills and learn, not just to get a better grade.
Logan also has a wonderful sense of humor which is a part of his consistent, positive attitude and likeable personality. I cannot say enough about Logan. I hope my own children grow to have his kindness, thoughtfulness, and work ethic.

Congratulations to Chase Mastricola--WHS's Student of the Month for April.
Leadership and character mean different things to different people. Chase Mastricola has grown into a natural leader, but does it in such a subtle way. He truly leads by quiet example. He's become the unofficial student to go to if there's a question in class and helps others in class when needed. His classmates know they can go to him with a question and he’ll be willing to provide them with an answer or the necessary assistance. As a student mentor for class, I have leaned on him to provide the underclassmen with proper examples of lifts, safety and general weight training etiquette.
Taking academics seriously is important to Chase, regardless of the content area. He comes to school every day with an excitement for learning and a dedication for going above and beyond at school. Chase pays close attention to detail and makes sure that his daily work is not only accurate, but also meticulously neat and of the utmost quality. He excels in all the subject areas and I especially am impressed with his ability to be a quality student, athlete, and extracurricular participant.
In AP Spanish, Chase comes to class ready to learn. He has a positive attitude. Chase challenges himself daily in class. When conversing he strives to not speak any english. If he is not sure about a word he needs to use, he works with what he knows and explains what he would like to convey. His growth in the language this year is excellent.
Chase is the epitome of a well rounded individual and should be proud of himself. We thank him for his efforts and the examples he has set for others in his time at Wautoma High School. I can't wait to see what he does with his tremendous talents. I'm confident he will go far in life!
Kacey Graessley and Trey Reilly are playing cribbage on the board they made in Manufacturing Enterprise. They used the CNC router and CAD programming for design.

WHS students in Basic Interior Design, a dual credit course with Fox Valley Technical College, create a string art project during the unit on Elements of Design.
The 5th graders at Redgranite Elementary have been looking into different ways to separate mixtures. Last week they were given a mixture of four materials (gravel, powder, salt, and a mystery material) and tasked with separating all four of the materials. They were given a tub with everything they needed to separate the materials and that was it.
The kids needed to use the knowledge from previous investigations to write a plan for how they were going to accomplish their task and then test it. It took a few tries but both groups got all of the materials back into their own cups! It was awesome watching them problem solve along the way!
WHS students enrolled in the dual credit Infant and Toddler course were challenged to make puppets from wooden spoons for a favorite children's book. Virtual students were challenged to create puppets from what they had at home and with what was readily available to them.

Mark your calendars for the 2021 SCC Art Show!
Third grade students at Redgranite had fun learning about Patterns of Motion with tops. Students designed their own tops and wrote their own focus questions to answer. Some children wanted to know, "What is the best design for a top that spins a long time?" or "Does it make a difference if you use the larger or smaller discs to design a top?" Students tested their tops, drew a diagram and wrote about their observations. The students also had fun using a Doodle Top.
During Redgranite Elementary's 4K unit on Spring we placed chicken eggs in our incubator.
Over the weekend our chicks started hatching. This is just in time for us to learn about them in our next unit, Farm and Ranch.
The entire Wautoma High School Forensics team will advance from the Level 2 – District Forensics Competition to the State Competition beginning April 9. Congratulations go to Madylyn Woyak, Poetry; Ava Butt, Public Address; Alyssa Szymanski, Dakota McNeal, and Kaydance Blader on their Group Interpretation; and Owen Mulvey, Moment in History.
Congratulations to the WHS March Student of the Month, junior Megan Kelly!
Megan Kelly has been a consistently hard worker in AP Biology, AP Statistics, and Precalculus this semester. Her determination to master the content material being presented is impressive as she seeks deeper understanding rather than just enough to get by. It is not uncommon to have Megan email questions or to come in for extra help during 8th period, in order to gain a firm grasp of whatever content we are covering at the time. Megan is extremely alert and conscientious in class. She is also very organized and takes stellar notes, in a “textbook example” fashion. Megan is a classroom leader and a genuinely nice person with a high character that is driven to be the best version of her that she can be.
A special thank you to Dairy Queen of Wautoma for sponsoring Dilly Bar Day at WHS last week!

Redgranite 2nd grade students at were making observations about different materials. They were deciding if the materials were solids or liquids while using funnels, schoops bottles and vials to scoop, shake and pour. They learned that small materials are called particles. Many particles together can sometimes act like liquids because they pour and take the shape of their container. Particles, however, are solids because they keep their own shape and and can be made into lines and piles.
Third graders at Redgranite would like to send out a heartfelt "THANK YOU" to all the people who participated in the 11th Annual Pajama Drive. Today was the last day of the PJ Drive, so next week students will be calculating the total number of pajamas donated and calculating monetary donations. Once they've calculated the total, they will post an update to Facebook.
Thanks again for supporting our cause! We greatly appreciate it.
Yesterday Mrs Walbrun's third graders started learning about area and perimeter. Her students really enjoyed building arrays with Cheese-Its and then finding the area and perimeter of their shapes. The students agreed this activity was both fun and tasty!
Redgranite third graders began Investigation 2 in science class today. In this investigation students are exploring patterns of motion and trying to answer the question: How can we change the motion of wheel-and-axle systems rolling down ramps?
Students built several different wheel-and-axle systems and tested them on a ramp. They observed what happened and then picked their favorite wheel-and-axle system, drew a diagram of it, and also wrote about the pattern of motion they observed.
Redgranite third graders participated in "Trashketball" today. Students have been learning how to use a ruler to measure to the nearest 1/4 of an inch. First, the students worked in partnerships to measure the lengths of eight rectangles. Once they were done measuring they were able to collect a paper basketball for each correct answer. Once they collected their paper basketballs, they played "Trashketball". They could shoot one or two point shots.

Nomination from: Mrs. Majeskie
I wish to nominate Ryker Withall for Redgranite's student of the month. Ryker has an overall positive attitude about school and school work. He comes to school excited to learn, and is always willing to try new things. He isn't afraid of working hard and puts forth a strong effort to be successful. Ryker is kind and friendly to everyone in our class. He works cooperatively and helps anyone who needs it. Ryker also looks for ways to brighten someone's day with a cheerful note. He has wonderful manners too. Ryker follows all school rules, and he can be trusted to do the right thing, no matter what. When given directions, Ryker doesn't hesitate or complain. He follows directions right away. Ryker doesn't need reminders or even praise to do what he knows is right. He just does it because he takes pride in himself as being a student with strong character. Redgranite Elementary School is a better place because of Ryker and his role model behavior in the character traits.

He is quick to help others, whether it is with a question on schoolwork or playing a game at recess, Josiah volunteers to lend a hand. Josiah is everybody’s friend.

He always gives his absolute best effort, even when things are challenging. When he doesn’t understand something, Josiah keeps a positive attitude, concentrates and works hard to gain that knowledge.

The WHS Art, Music, Spanish, and Physical Education Departments would like to nominate Mallorie Vissers for student of the month.
Mallorie has been a member of the band all throughout high school. In addition to all the hard work and dedication she shows as an instrumentalist Mallorie has taken a leadership position in choreographing and instructing the colorguard routines since the spring of her Freshman year. She has been extremely organized and responsible with this task. This year while everything is very different in the instrumental music department Mallorie has been an exemplary student encouraging all of those around her with her genuinely positive outlook. It brought a ton of spirit to the band room when Mallorie suggested the idea for having a bucket decorating contest during homecoming week. She also contributes enthusiastically to our composition unit. While Mallorie has always been a conscientious student who gives her very best effort, this year has shown that even in changing and sometimes challenging circumstances Mallorie continues to bring her best every day.
In Physical Education, Mallorie has demonstrated phenomenal leadership skills. From the minute she arrives to class she begins to take on responsibilities of helping with set up, preparing herself for the lesson, kindly and cheerfully speaking to all of her classmates. She displays an energy that is positive and contagious. Mallorie enjoys being challenged and is determined to face and overcome each one of them. She has a healthy competitive spirit balanced by joy when successful, yet humble, sincerely congratulatory and great at praising the accomplishments of others. It has been such a pleasure and blessing to watch this young lady light up the world the way that she does.
Mallorie comes to AP Spanish class ready to learn. She is very positive and challenges herself daily in class. When given an assignment or project she goes above and beyond the requirements. When she doesn’t understand a concept without hesitation seeks extra help for a further explanation. She has grown so much during her years of taking spanish. The class taught Spanish I lessons and her game and lesson were thoroughly planned out, and the students enjoyed learning through the creative lesson. Mallorie would like to become a teacher. Her compassion, caring demeanor and willingness to help others will make her an excellent teacher.
Mallorie works as a Student Assistant in the Special Education classroom. She assists the students with their classwork, reads to them, and spends time with them. Mallorie is a very positive person who enjoys spending her time with the students and they very much enjoy their time with her. Her friendly and calm demeanor is also very appreciated by the staff in the Special Education classroom.
We look forward to watching Mallorie continue to grow. She strives for excellence. Mallorie, keep up the good work!
In advance of the extremely cold temperatures expected to continue through next week the mobile food pantry located at the Waushara County Fairgrounds on Tuesday, February 9th and the mobile food pantry located at the Coloma Fire Department on Wednesday, February 10th have been cancelled.

WHS students recognize and thank crossing guard Linda Seymour during National Crossing Guard week. Thank you for playing an integral role in the safety of the staff and students each day, Linda!
In recognition of Crossing Guard Recognition Week, Linda Seymour was honored by the Wautoma Area School District for all her hard work. Thank you for all you do!
During the month of December, Redgranite Elementary School was celebrating the character trait empathy. We define empathy as being able to put ourselves in someone else's shoes. This student has the ability to value, respect, and understand another person's views. This is not an easy skill to learn, but this student is wiser than her years and consistently demonstrates empathy in the classroom environment. This student can identify when a classmate is in need of help and simply needs a friend and she is there in the blink of an eye. She doesn’t ask questions, she listens. She doesn’t only help one person, she helps everyone. She not only shows empathy towards her classmates but she shows the adults at our school empathy. The 2020 school year has been tumultuous but she has definitely been a shining star and made the year easier for everyone in the third grade classroom. It is with honor that I nominate Maylee Goddard as Redgranite’s Student of the Month.

The WHS Music, Art, Spanish, and Physical Education Departments would like to nominate Dylan Lederhaus for student of the month. Dylan is an enthusiastic student who challenges himself and has an energy that is contagious to everyone around him. Here are what some of the staff have to say about Dylan:
In Physical Education, Dylan arrives to class with a spirit and energy that is contagious. He works very hard and treats all of his classmates with kindness and respect. He is a great leader. Students look up to him and imitate his example. He is honest and humble regardless of whether or not his team is winning or losing. It is a pleasure to have him in class!
Dylan is currently the drumline captain of the high school band. Despite a very different start to the year Dylan has been consistently enthusiastic and encouraging to his fellow bandmates. He also serves as a TA for the concert band. Throughout the fall he was always willing to jump in to lead a warm-up or rehearse a piece with his peers. Dylan even wrote a piece of music for the bucket band to play at homecoming. In addition to concert band, Dylan is also a leader in our jazz ensemble and currently doing very well with our ukulele unit. Dylan regularly challenges himself to learn new things. This was evident from his first semester at WHS where he joined jazz band on drum kit. He has played in both jazz and symphonic band every semester since and in the pit of all of our musicals. The other band students love the energy that Dylan brings to class each day. He is especially well-suited to his future career goals in music education.
Dylan has enrolled in his first year of Concert Choir and has been a consistently positive member of the ensemble and has brought a level of energy and enthusiasm that is needed given the odd circumstance of the year. He is also in AP Theory and has been doing a great job working on his skills as a musician despite technology frequently giving us challenges at every turn. He has remained positive throughout the troubleshooting process and continues to challenge himself daily.
Dylan’s musical skills pump the fans up at athletic events. Drum solos rule!
We appreciate all the wonderful traits that Dylan brings to our school community and feel he is well deserving of the honor of student of the month.
Happy Holidays from Redgranite Elementary! 🎄🎅
Congratulations to 2nd grade student, Brooklyn; Brooklyn was Riverview's November Student of the Month. Nominated by 2nd grade teacher, Ms. Wagner stated, "Brooklyn is a student who shines in the classroom. Everyday she comes in with a positive attitude, ready to tackle any tasks ahead of her. She always gives 100% when it comes to her learning. When asked to do an assignment, she always goes above and beyond what is expected of her. She writes stories like no tomorrow and always wants a challenge when it comes to learning new math concepts. I never have to worry about whether or not she gets her at home learning done because she always does, and does so with a smile on her face. She is also a great classmate. When others need help or are getting frustrated, Brooklyn is the first one there to offer a helping hand. Brooklyn is a perfect role model for showing others what it means to be responsible as a student and as a classmate. She strives to do the right thing, even when no one is looking." For those reasons and many more, Brooklyn was selected as Riverview's Student of the Month.
On Friday, December 18 the Redgranite 5th graders graduated from the DARE Program. They did a fantastic job over the course of the last 12 weeks completing all of the lessons and then completing a final DARE Project to show what they learned.

Congratulations to WHS's October Student of the Month: Yessica Arreola
The Social Studies/English Department would like to nominate Yessica Arreola. Yessica is a very hard worker and did a great job with her first writing assessment in Mr. Thompson's Survey of American History class about the reasons why so many colonists died in Early Jamestown. She was clear and concise in her writing. Her English teacher Mr. Mathias had this to say, "She works very hard in English and is super active in class discussion. She always has poignant observations about the literature." Yessica would make a great choice for student of the month because she embodies what we want in our students, hard working, curious, self-reflective, and willing to help others.
The Spanish, Art, Physical Education and the Music Department also would like to nominate Yessica Arreola as Student of the Month. Yessica is a student who is constantly challenging herself. She is currently in a Native Speakers class. She finishes all her work on time. Yessica goes above and beyond on her projects. In class she is always willing to participate in all discussions or activities. When you see her in the hallway, you are always greeted with a smile. Her positive demeanor is a great asset to others around her. On the days she is virtual learning she is the first one to show up for the google meet for the class. When she doesn’t understand a concept, she is not afraid to ask for help. Yessica is a kind student and always willing to help others. Keep up the great work!
“This student doesn’t draw attention to herself, but she does what needs to be done. She is a quiet girl who can easily go unnoticed. But her teacher does notice her. I notice her kindness. Being polite is just a part of who she is and how she treats others. She always has a smile on her face and is willing to work hard in third grade to do her best. In addition, she can be counted on to be honest and responsible. I know that she will always do the right thing whether I am watching or not. This student is a true representation of all of the Wautoma Area School District character traits and I am truly honored to nominate Emma Krombos as Redgranite's October Student of the Month.”
– Mrs. Julie Petersen

This week Miss Sharp's kindergartners worked hard learning all about pumpkins. After learning about a pumpkin's life cycle, a pumpkin's needs, and the parts of a pumpkin, the students worked hard to count the seeds in medium sized pumpkins. Students used 10 frames to count the seeds 10 at a time, and they used base 10 rods to keep track of the seeds they had counted. Monday's class counted 610 seeds in their pumpkin, and Tuesday's class had 550 seeds in their pumpkin! Many of the students were surprised that pumpkins can have so many seeds!
On Thursday and Friday last week the students at Redgranite Elementary took a break from their studies to get into the spooky spirit. They each picked a dot in the hallway, and played freeze dance to The Monster Mash!

Congratulations to Chris Marks, WHS Student of the Month for September!
Chris started the year by beating his goals on a weekly basis. In these first four weeks, he met or beat his course progress goal every time with doubling it in two of the weeks and tripling it in another. Even as the course rigor increases, his accelerated pace continues. Chris has continued to be polite, respectful, and considerate to all he interacts with. He appreciates the opportunity of working at Crossroads and has been a tremendous asset though his leadership by example.
It is out of great respect that the Crossroads staff nominates Chris Marks for Student of the Month.

Last school year, Cadence Lederhaus was in third grade at Redgranite Elementary School. In March, her classroom teacher was teaching the class about community service projects and the class was excited to help Mrs. Petersen kick off the 10th Annual Wautoma Area School District Pajama Drive in April. However, the classes' hopes and dreams to help others were crushed when school was cancelled. Well, that's at least what they thought. Little did the class know, their classmate Cadence was not going to let a school closure stop her from helping others.
During the pandemic, Cadence began reaching out to family and friends asking if anyone was interested in donating to the cause. Family and friends started sending donations her way. Cadence was ecstatic, but she didn't stop there. Next, she decided to reach out to the recording artists known as Judah and the Lion and the band was honored to make a donation to the cause. The band finds people that are doing charitable things for the community and they pay it forward. They sent her pajamas and a monetary donation. In addition, Judah and the Lion made Cadence an honorary member of their High Five Squad. Cadence ended up collecting 74 sets of pajamas on her own!
At the beginning of the 2020-2021 school year Cadence and her third grade teacher were reunited and they were able to tally up the total number of pajamas donated to the cause during the pandemic. A total of 151 sets of pajamas ended up being collected during the 10th Annual Pajama Drive. These pajamas will be donated to the Waushara County Christmas Project. Mrs. Petersen is proud of Cadence's accomplishments. And both are excited and proud to know that children in their community will get to enjoy the simple pleasure of a new set of pajamas this Christmas.
The 2020 Redgranite Labor Day Parade scheduled for Monday, September 7th, has been cancelled. For more information, visit https://bit.ly/31qsFoQ.

The Wautoma Area School District does not have a relationship and is not connected to this individual or this company. The Wautoma Area School District does not endorse or receive any funding from this company.

Parkside students will be celebrating No Name Calling Week this week Jan 21st-24th! We can't wait to see the great outfits this week!
The Wautoma Area School District has worked with Project ADAM (Automated Defibrillators in Adam’s Memory), a program of Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin and the Herma Heart Institute, to implement a comprehensive plan to prevent sudden cardiac death.
The Heart Safe School designation indicates to the public that the school’s staff is trained and prepared to respond to a cardiac emergency. Heart Safe School Designation includes placement of AEDs within schools, implementation of cardiac emergency response plans and drills, and education of school staff on the warning signs and prevention of sudden cardiac death. AEDs are safe and easy to use, making it possible for non-medical personnel to provide rapid defibrillation for victims of all ages.
Project ADAM saves lives by empowering schools and communities to be prepared for a sudden cardiac arrest. Project ADAM programming is implemented in schools across the country and improves the cardiac chain of survival in memory of Adam Lemel, a 17-year-old boy from Whitefish Bay, who collapsed and died while playing basketball at school.
According to the American Heart Association, every year there are 326,200 out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Of those, only about 10.6 percent survive. On any given day, approximately 20 percent of a community is in its schools, including students, teachers, staff and family members. A focused effort on cardiac arrest preparedness in schools is critical to protecting our children and others in the community.
A sudden cardiac arrest is a condition in which abnormal heart rhythms cause the heart’s electrical impulses to suddenly become chaotic. Defibrillation, which delivers an electric shock to the heart, is the only known treatment to stop this chaotic electrical activity. For every minute defibrillation is delayed, the victim’s chances of survival decreases by 7 to 10 percent.
For more information about Project ADAM and how to achieve the Heart Safe School designation at your school, please contact Allison Thompson , Project ADAM Coordinator, ajthompson@chw.org.
Due to the impending snowstorm, all after school activities and events have been canceled this evening, January 17, including A+ After School, practices and clubs. All events are also canceled for tomorrow, January 18.

Redgranite A+ After School students made wreaths in Christmas Crafts Club to deliver to the residents at Preston Place in December.
Chess is a popular option during academic time at Redgranite A+ After School Program. Students were able to learn new strategies and practice them during Chess Club in December.
Riverview A+ is partnering with 4-H to offer three 6-8 week Cloverbud programs this school year. At one session in December, students created animal puppets after learning about various types of animals.
This student doesn’t draw attention to herself, but she does what needs to be done. She is a quiet girl who can easily go unnoticed. But her teacher does notice her. I notice her kindness. Being polite is just a part of who she is and how she treats others. I notice her willingness to work hard. She is successful in math, reading, writing, and all other subject areas because she has a desire to learn new things and she is willing to put the time and effort into achieving greatness in these areas. In addition, she can be counted on to be honest and responsible. I know that she will always do the right thing whether I am watching or not. This student is a true representation of all of the Wautoma Area School District character traits and I am truly honored to nominate Amelia Meckelberg as December's Student of the Month.
Congratulations to the Redgranite students who received an award for showing Empathy.
STEM at RV A+ After School in December included creating igloo sculptures (in 20 minutes) in a small group or with a partner using 20 marshmallows and 20 toothpicks.

During the month of December, the 5th Grade Peer Power Leadership group, run by our 4-5 School Counselor Miss Strobl, raised money by selling candy canes to donate money to Father Carr’s Place 2B which is a homeless and food shelter in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
As a follow up to the donation, the group was able to spend time at Father Carr’s Place 2B learning about homelessness and lack of food. They served in the food pantry helping organize food donations.
Many of the students believe that their thoughts of homeless and hungry people have been changed more positively.

Congratulations to Riverview's Literacy Student of the Month and our Student of the Month.
I nominate Olivia Schmidt for Student of the Month based on the character traits of responsibility and determination. In our classroom we focus a lot on having a growth mindset. We recite a daily pledge: “Today I will have a good learning attitude, be an active learner and grow my brain, and be a mindful problem solver.” Olivia takes this pledge to heart. Olivia comes to school with a good learning attitude. She rushes into the classroom everyday with completed homework. Olivia is eager to read, is developing a good reading stamina, and gets excited about what she is reading. Olivia takes responsibility for her own learning and is a mindful problem solver. She frequently uses resources around the room to help her with her learning. During writing and word work time Olivia uses the word wall and other words around the room to figure out how to spell and write words. During math time she uses the number poster and number line. Olivia shows determination with her learning. If something is challenging, she works hard and practices until she gets it. At the beginning of the year, Olivia had trouble writing some of her lowercase letters. Olivia practiced her handwriting in her handwriting packet everyday and her handwriting has improved a lot. It is for these reasons that I am nominating Olivia for student of the month. Redgranite Elementary Mrs. Tompkins
Students at Redgranite received an award today for showing the Character Trait Respect.

Riverview Student Council is organizing a Food Drive at Riverview School!
They are doing their part to help those in need by collecting food for the Waushara County Community Christmas Food Drive. Non-perishable food items will be collected at Riverview School from November 11th to December 4th. Grade levels are competing to see which grade can bring in the most food items. The food collected helps local families in need.
Keeping An Open Mind!
"The Sandwich Swap" by Queen Rania Al Abdullah is a story about friendship, acceptance, and keeping an open mind. These third grade students learned a lesson and were introduced to a food they had never heard of before, hummus. Keeping with the morale of the story the girls kept an open mind when they tried hummus for the first time.
Thrivent Financial was kind enough to donate money for free reading books to Mrs. Belter’s CPR. These books were chosen with teens aged interests in mind with a variety of reading levels to accommodate every student. When the books arrived, the students were so excited to check them out! Love to see the excitement and the love for reading!
Parkside School 7th grade student Kendall Gustke organized a district-wide student hat day and staff jeans day on Friday, November 8, to help her WASD bus driver, Lupe Cervantes, with costs of treatment for his wife, Yola, as she fights breast cancer. As a result of Kendall’s efforts, the District collected $1,515.68 for the Cervantes Family, which will go towards medical and travel expenses.
This student’s exemplary character is demonstrated day in and day out. He truly is the epitome of all of the Wautoma Area School District character traits. He is honest, dependable, trustworthy, and responsible. He is respected by his peers and adults here at Redgranite. He is always considerate of others and he always looks to find the positive in every situation. He is also willing to lend a helping hand to his fellow students and his teachers when needed. He is a true leader in and out of the classroom. Over the years, his determination and commitment to learning has led him to great successes with his academics. With such great character, he certainly has a bright future ahead of him. It is with honor and admiration that I nominate Korban Withall as Redgranite's October Student of the Month.
Students at Redgranite received an award today for showing the Character Trait Responsibility.
Congratulations!!

Third grade students at Redgranite recently read a book titled Third Grade Angels written by Jerry Spinelli. In writing class they learned about the parts of a friendly letter and how to compose a friendly letter. They then wrote a letter to author Jerry Spinelli giving him praise for writing a book filled with surprises that kept them on the edge of their seats. The letters were sent off and the children are patiently awaiting a reply. Pictured above are Ian Moldenhauer, Amelia Meckelberg, and Monica Hansen.
On Tuesday, October 28th The HS had special guest, Micheal T Borchardt, Staff Sergeant United States Army and Joshua F. Withers, Sergeant First Class United States Army serving hot lunch to the students! Thank you for your time and service!

Over the last couple of weeks the 3rd grade students at Riverview have had a great time learning all about the Scientific Method. One of their favorite experiments was figuring out which liquid would dissolve candy corn the fastest. They all really enjoyed being scientists!
This morning at approximately 10:00 AM, a Wautoma High School student left the building in an angry manner without permission. The student went toward the Bird Creek Park Area. To ensure the safety of this student and all students/staff at Parkside School and Wautoma High School, we placed both Parkside School and Wautoma High School on Soft Lock Down/Shelter in Place until the student was safely placed in custody. With the assistance of law enforcement we were able to secure the student at 11:30 AM and the Soft Lock Down/Shelter in Places were lifted at both schools.
Today Mrs. Wagner's second graders and Ms. Lyons' kindergartners had book buddies. The second graders brought their book boxes to the kindergartners. The students read stories, shared book knowledge, and showed what great readers do!
