This year, 4th and 5th grade students at Redgranite Elementary School were part of the inaugural Student Council. The members mission was to spread kindness throughout the school and the community. Yesterday, the Student Council members enjoyed a smoothie at Sunshine Coffee in Redgranite. We figured since they helped spread sunshine throughout the community, we would put a little sunshine in their lives.
Student Council members would like you to remember, "No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted."

Congratulations to WHS Student of the Month: Victoria Pierotti
Victoria has been a solid photography student this last semester. As a senior in Photography 1 she demonstrates a quiet, but unflinching leadership in a classroom with many sophomores and juniors. She is always up-to-date with assignments. Her work is extremely high quality and she contributes some valuable information to critical discussions with her classmates.
Victoria recently had the wonderful opportunity to represent Wautoma High School at the annual South Central Conference Art Show. She submitted a large-scale and close-up detailed photo to the show. After the conference judges observed all the work, Victoria’s photograph earned the first place award. Her photography has been featured in the Waushara Argus. It will be published in the upcoming South Central Conference high school writers “Musings” annual magazine and will appear on the Wisconsin Visual Artists website. Victoria is a great student to have in class. Her visual arts talents are amazing and her presence is a valuable asset to the rest of her fellow photo students.
Victoria is currently in Spanish III. She works hard and has shown great growth in the language. Victoria comes to class daily with a positive attitude. She works well with her peers. I look forward to watching her grow more as she attends UWSP in the fall.

Congratulations to Redgranite Elementary's March Student of the Month:
This student possesses outstanding character. She truly embodies all of the character traits and is a leader in our classroom and in our school. Over the past month our school has been focusing on the character trait integrity. This student shows integrity every single day. She is honest and truthful with adults and peers, I can always count on her to do the right thing (even when it is hard), and she goes above and beyond to be a helper in our classroom. When she notices something out of place, she will put it where it goes without any prompting from an adult. When someone is misbehaving, she will use kind words to remind the classmate of the expectations. This student also loves school. She enjoys playing with her classmates and often is the one creating the elaborate play scenarios. This student also loves to learn, when it is time to settle down she is the first one on her learning spot with her body ready to learn. She is often the first one with her hand raised to ask and answer questions while we are learning. During sharing time, this student displays wonderful listening skills. She listens attentively and respectfully to each of her classmates and asks relevant questions to learn more. I am very excited to see the progress this student makes in all of her future years of school. She is off to a WONDERFUL start. It is for all of these reasons, and many more, that I would like to nominate Kaylee Sheller for Redgranite’s Student of the Month.
Also, congratulations to the following Redgranite Elementary Integrity Character Trait Awards Winners: Cody Griffin, Ebony Boening (not pictured), Nevaeh Higgins, Ryker Withall, and Connor Hoople.
Redgranite Elementary staff and students would like to give a big THANK YOU to Deputy Wenzel and Deputy Thor for their visit this week. Students respectfully listened to Deputy Wenzel explain about what he and his K-9 partner Deputy Thor do day to day. They asked thoughtful and respectful questions and listened attentively, raised their hands, and waited to be called on before asking their questions. Deputy Wenzel also brought Thor around for students to pet. Thank you again, Deputy Wenzel and Deputy Thor for your visit, it was paws-itively wonderful!

Congratulations to Landon Keller, WHS Student of the Month for March 2022.
It is an honor to nominate Landon Keller for March student of the month. In the classroom Landon is a leader, dependable team member and always has a positive attitude. It never fails that Landon has a smile on his face when he walks into the class, his energy lights up the classroom.
When working with peers in the classroom, Landon is determined to work through any problem and help his team members to achieve success. As a coach in the high school, I have always been impressed with Landon’s effort on the court and off the court as well. This summer I asked Landon for his assistance taking admission to girl’s summer league, and he willingly came in and helped us out when we needed it - that’s the kind of team player Landon is.
In Chemistry Landon has regularly shown the ability to use creative problem-solving skills. He not only devises unique strategies, but he can also articulate why his method for tackling the problem will work well. Additionally, Landon can often be seen helping his peers in class.
In Miss H's third-grade class, we spent the month of March improving our multiplication skills. We made a "March Madness Multiplication" bracket where the kids went against each other to see who would be the winner of the class. Miss H's class went against each other until we had a final winner, as well as Mrs. Michalski's class. The end winners from each class went against each other for the final championship. Katelyn and Maya were our winners from each class. Katelyn was our final winner! We talked about how everyone is a winner in our class!
The WASD COVID-19 Testing Site at Crossroads will be closed on Friday, April 8th. Regular testing dates and hours will resume on Monday, April 11th.

Last week Redgranite 5th graders took to the ice to learn more about the sport of curling. They would like to extend a giant 'Thank You' to the volunteers and members of the Appleton Curling Club for teaching them about the sport and restraining their laughs when their feet were no longer on the ice, but in the air. The kids did an awesome job staying positive and encouraging each other while they were all taking a risk and trying something new and challenging.
Third grade students in Redgranite would like to send a heartfelt thank you to all of the students, staff, and community members who donated to the 12th Annual Pajama Drive.

This student is a great role model. She truly possesses all of the following character traits: responsibility, respect, empathy, determination, leadership, integrity, and cooperation. During the month of February, Redgranite Elementary School was celebrating the character trait leadership. This student is constantly showing me what a great leader she is inside and outside the classroom. She is always quick to show 5, she immediately offers to help other students, she encourages others to do their best and to do the right thing, and she is always following expectations and directions without being reminded. As the year progresses, this student continues to exceed my expectations. I am excited to see this student continue to grow as an outstanding leader and role model at Redgranite Elementary. It is with great pleasure that I nominate Kylie Henze for Redgranite Elementary’s student of the month.

The WHS Music, Art, Spanish, and Physical Education Departments would like to nominate Deakin Buchkowski for student of the month.
Deakin has proven to be an exceptional student in his instrumental music classes this year. In both jazz ensemble and concert band he leads the students around him with his positive attitude and confidence. In classes he encourages everyone to play loud and many students have identified Deakin as being a leader in the band, someone they look up to, and someone who inspires them to be brave in their own playing.
When faced with difficult solos and challenging parts Deakin approaches his music systematically. He breaks it down to small sections and learns it section by section. He has a growth mindset and knows that if he follows his process he will be successful.
Deakin is also a student who goes above what is required of him. Recently he was spotted finishing up Beowulf (reading beyond the section required of the class) simply because he doesn’t like to leave a book unfinished.
Deakin has also shown a great deal of motivation in athletic development this year; even on days he does not necessarily care for the skills being expected of him. He has also developed into a strong leader for his peers. Deakin is frequently heard reminding his peers to clean up their lifting areas, along with holding them accountable in terms of work ethic. Deakin’s ability to be upfront with his peers is notable, as most would shy away from this in fear of being responded to negatively. His constant willingness to help move equipment before and after class is greatly appreciated as it leaves transition times less chaotic.
Deakin is willing to meet challenges, motivate and lead peers, and go beyond what is expected of him. For all of these reasons we feel he would be well deserving of student of the month.
2nd grade students at Redgranite Elementary School became engineers and used what they knew about the properties of solid materials to build towers and bridges. Their creations were very creative!

Students at Redgranite Elementary School will be kicking off the 12th Annual Pajama Drive. New and unused pajama donations will be collected at all schools in the Wautoma Area School District.

WHS students enrolled in Ms. Wheaton's Advanced Engineering and Technology class recently studied optics technology.

Congratulations to WHS junior Ava Butt for her participation in the Senate Scholar Program! Below is a narrative of Ava's amazing experience.
This week has been filled with many opportunities to learn about how the government runs and what goes into making that government run smoothly, including all of the government offices. I have enjoyed so much about the Senate Scholar Program so far. Some of my favorites have been the Capitol Dome Tour including facts and history, working as a Senate Page during the Session, meeting Senator Testin, and attending the State of the State Address. This program has helped me to become a more informed citizen and have a better understanding of leadership and decision making along with working as a team. It has been an experience that I will never forget.

Redgranite Elementary students weren't the only wild animals at school a few Fridays ago.

Third graders at Redgranite have been busy learning about motion. Students have been conducting investigations using tops, twirlybirds and carts. During the investigations, students took part in the engineering process. They were presented with a problem and given time to find and build a solution. The students have learned a lot about what causes things to move and have learned about how changing one variable will affect the motion of an object.
This past Monday, Lucy Winn from Pennsylvania visited third graders at Redgranite Elementary School. Lucy is the 2022 American Honey Queen. She is traveling across the country promoting honey and beekeeping. You can follow her journey at buzzingacrossamerica.com. Redgranite students were 'buzzing' with excitement that Lucy decided to make a stop at their school.
Congratulations to Redgranite's January - Student of the Month!
This student is a great role model. During the month of January, Redgranite Elementary School was celebrating the character trait determination. This student is always striving to do her best, even if it isn’t always easy. She always turns in quality work. In the classroom, she is quick to grab out the needed materials and get right to work. Before school, she comes in the morning and gets started on her role in the classroom each day. This student strives for success each day shown by her determination. This student also possesses the previous character traits this year as well. She shows respect by always being quick to show 5 and always listens to directions, she shows that she is responsible by staying on task and following expectations, and she is empathetic as she is always quick to help others when they need it. Seeing February's character trait of leadership, I see this student continuing to exceed my expectations and being the great leader I know she is. It is with great pleasure that I nominate Leah Sullivan for Redgranite’s Student of the Month.
Determination Award Winners - Maylee Goddard, Alex Markowski, Oliver Gimenez, Emmitt O'Connell, and Scarlet Hayes-Miller

Congratulations to Redgranite Elementary's Student of the Month and Character Trait Award Winners!
I would like to nominate this student for student of the month for many reasons. She is a polite student that is always willing to help a friend or classmate. She is respectful in all the ways that fifth graders can be; she respects others' learning environment by listening when a lesson is happening, she respects others' space by staying in her own space, and she respects our classroom by keeping her area clean. This student is also determined to always do her best. She asks questions when things are confusing or when a simple clarification is needed. She is also a leader in the sense that she not only follows school rules but reminds people around her to do the same. I see this student doing great things in the months left this school year. It is for these reasons and many more that I nominate Amelia Meckelberg for Redgranite’s Student of the Month.
Empathy Award Winners - Sovia Donovan, Jaxx Aaronson, Ethan Soda, Bennett Baltz, Kamm Gonzales, Jediah Sullivan

Dylan is a very sweet kid who is always willing to help out others. The minute he gets here in the morning he gets right to his morning work. He is a role model in our class by showing others what they should be doing and giving friendly reminders. He comes to school every day prepared to learn. His attention is always at the front of the room and frequently answers questions. If he gets a question incorrect, Dylan doesn't get upset. He accepts when he is wrong and tries to figure out what he did wrong so he can correct himself. If Dylan is finished with his work early, he always knows what to do next or will ask his friends if they need help.
Dylan is a friend to everyone in his class and is able to work with everyone. When outside at recess, he helps his friends with conflicts by using Kelso's Choices.

During class, he is a respectful student when he raises his hand to participate and is always ready to learn new things. He shows respect for our classroom environment when he keeps his desk area clean and organized. In the hallway, he walks quietly to ensure that he doesn’t disrupt other classes. On the playground, he demonstrates respect by playing by the rules and being kind to all students who are outside at recess. He is respectful in the lunchroom when he uses his manners. He always says “Yes, please” or “No, thank you.” He respects adults in our school when he holds conversations with staff members. He listens attentively and genuinely cares about what the adults have to say. I am proud of the example he sets for others. His respectful demeanor is something that we can all try to emulate. It is with great honor that I nominate Will Gustke as Redgranite’s Student of the Month.

Bill Harris from Renewable World Energies is in the 8th grade classroom this week teaching students about electrical safety, and properties electricity.
The WHS Music, Art, Spanish, and Physical Education Departments would like to nominate Owen Mulvey for student of the month.
Owen is a very hardworking, kind, conscientious young man who strives for excellence in all areas. Oftentimes Owen is the first person to arrive and last to leave class. The reason he is last to leave is because he always offers to help with putting the equipment away. This is true in multiple classes including band where he stayed after school frequently last spring to help bring all the instruments and chairs inside at the end of the school day.
Owen is a great role model and a caring student who enjoys working with his peers. He assists other students in class and generously mentors others on his own time. Students share that Owen is very helpful and that they feel comfortable asking him for help.
Over these years Owen has proven to be a thoughtful and diligent student. In Spanish III he works hard and is not afraid to take the initiative to ask for further clarification if he doesn't understand a concept. He is enthusiastic to learn and works hard to make sure he is always well-prepared. He is also a fourth year member of the band where his leadership, musicianship, and continuous effort and hard work are very much appreciated
We believe that all of the wonderful traits that Owen brings to our WHS school community make him well-deserving to be our November student of the month.

WHS students in Ms. Kniffen's classes recently assisted WHS Head Custodian, Mr. Steffens, with assembling new furniture items for the high school.
Redgranite 2nd and 3rd graders explored turkeys, gravity, and friction when they built turkey models called Gobble Waddlers. A Gobble Waddler is a turkey model that dances.
Gravity pulls the turkey and straw downward, but the weight of the turkey pulling on one side of the straw makes the straw tilt so that one end hits the string.
Friction between the straw and the string stops the turkey from dropping, but only for a moment. When the straw pushes on the string, the string pushes back, making the turkey bounce up. That straightens the straw, so it can fall a bit before the pull of the turkey tilts the straw again, and the cycle repeats.
In this activity students also observed turkey feathers, wattles, and snoods. They used cause and effect to experiment and change how their turkey danced. They had a blast creating these dancing turkeys!

Redgranite Student Council members are kicking off the "Redgranite Saves the Planet" initiative. This initiative was inspired by last year's 5th grade class. Students realized that much of the waste filling the landfills didn't have to end up there. These items could be recycled. So, they began collecting used school supplies such as markers, highlighters, pens, pencils, crayons, and glue-sticks to ensure that they did not end up in the landfill. The children ended up keeping 665 items out of the landfill. This year's student council members are setting a goal of recycling more than 665 items. Starting today all students and staff at Redgranite Elementary School may start recycling school supplies by putting them in the designated boxes in the school. Let's help Redgranite save the planet!

The first grade team is excited to nominate William for November student of the month.
William is an outstanding example of the Riverview Way, is a great friend to everyone, and is a joy to be around. In November we focus on respect. William shows respect to everyone every day. Some of the ways he shows respect include: listening to others when they are talking, following directions the 1st times, and following the Riverview Way in the halls, lunchroom, classroom, and playground.
William not only shows respect daily, but he also shows responsibility by taking care of himself and always being prepared, empathy by being aware of others feelings, and leadership in the classroom when working in stations.
William is an all around great student and is very worthy of November student of the month.
Congratulations Riverview Literacy Students of the Month!!

Hayley Moore, a senior at Wautoma High School, was one of 1,617 selected from over 68,000 applicants nationwide for the 2022 Coca-Cola Scholars Program. As a semifinalist she will now move onto a rigorous Phase 2 of the application process. Applicants were judged on their academic excellence, leadership and service demonstrated in school and community activities. This selection places Hayley in an elite group of seniors from around the country and we are proud to have her as a community member and student at Wautoma High School.
The Coca-Cola Scholars Program recognizes students who take pride in making a significant impact on their schools and communities. They also know how to lead and serve. Hayley Moore is clearly that type. “We believe that identifying these young leaders throughout the country and encouraging their passion for serving others not only empowers the students, but also lifts up those around them.” said Jane Hale Hopkins, President of the Foundation. “The Coca-Cola system is dedicated to giving back to the communities they serve, and the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation is proud to be a part of that commitment.”
Ultimately, 150 Coca-Cola Scholars will be selected to receive this prestigious $20,000 scholarship.
The Heisman® High School Scholarship is presented by Acceptance Insurance®. The program was created in 1994 through a partnership between Wendy’s® and The Heisman Trophy Trust. From its inception, the program has leveraged the reputation of the Heisman Memorial Trophy as a symbol of great ability combined with diligence, perseverance, and hard work.
The Heisman High School Scholarship program extends the Heisman prestige to the nation’s most esteemed high school seniors by celebrating and rewarding outstanding male and female scholar-athletes who understand that the most important victories happen not only on the field, but also in their schools and communities. The Heisman Trophy Trust was proud to partner with Acceptance Insurance® in 2020 to present these prestigious scholarships.
Over the past 27 years, the program has honored more than 600,000 of the nation’s most esteemed high school seniors and provided hundreds of thousands of dollars in college scholarships to students and more than a million dollars to high school academic and athletic programs across the country.
The Heisman High School Scholarship program honors the nation’s most accomplished, community-minded high school senior athletes. By inviting male and female students from schools across the country to share their stories of leadership and impact, the program aims to inspire all students to harness their potential, push their limits, and use their talents not only to advance their own futures, but to improve the communities and world around them.
This year we were honored that 2 of our Wautoma students were chosen as the high school winners. These students are: Gabe Ascher and Hayley Moore.
Redgranite third graders recently participated in Oceanspray's "Cranberries in the Classroom." Students learned a lot of information about cranberries, their ecosystem and the cranberry harvest. They learned that only five states in the USA produce cranberries and of the five Wisconsin is the top producer. At the end of the unit, students participated in a cranberry tasting. Students were also scientists as they participated in an experiment called "Dancing Cranberries." They also put their engineering skills to work as they created a catapult to launch cranberries. We LOVE cranberries!
On Monday, November 15th, students from Mr. Lenz's WHS FVTC Dual Credit College Tech Math class attended a field trip to Heartland Farms.

The emphasis of the tour was to connect students to the real-world application of the content and skills that are taught in their current classes to the behind-the-scenes operations of Heartland Farms. A big thank you to Heartland Farms and FVTC for this great experience.

Fynlie Korman, Grade 3, Mrs. Julie Petersen, Teacher
This student is a shining star at Redgranite Elementary School. This student demonstrates responsibility each and every day in many ways. For example, she is ultimately responsible for learning new things and she always puts forth 110% effort to do so. She is responsible for being a leader in our classroom and I can always count on her to lead by example. She is respectful to adults and children in the school. She always speaks in a kind tone and uses her manners. She can be counted on to follow school rules in and out of the classroom. When I think of being responsible, I think of her.
As I nominate this student for the character trait responsibility, I would like to point out that she could also be nominated for the following character trait awards: Respect, Integrity, Empathy, Determination, Leadership and Cooperation. It is with great pleasure that I nominate Fynlie Korman as Redgranite’s Student of the Month.

It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that the WHS CTE department nominates Abbi Zindars for the October Student of the Month.

She has stepped up and volunteered for junior class activities when help was needed most. She has also taken on the role of president of FCCLA this year. FCCLA is a new student organization and without hesitation and with little knowledge of the club, she has stepped up to lead the group this year. She has a positive attitude and always strives to do her best. When times get tough, she powers through and does not complain. Even as the course rigor increases, her accelerated pace continues. Abbi has continued to be polite, respectful, and considerate in all of her interactions.
It is with great enthusiasm and respect that we nominate Abbi Zindars for Student of the Month.

Last week the Redgranite Elementary fifth graders and kindergartners buddied up and worked on a fun fall project together. The kindergartners had to answer questions about themselves to determine what became a part of their final picture.
Redgranite third graders participated in a community scavenger hunt. They visited the public library, the post office, the quarry, and BR Diner. Students received their library cards at the public library. They learned how the post office works. They also enjoyed visiting the quarry. They were appreciative to be able to warm up with a cup of hot chocolate at BR Diner. Thanks to the community for supporting our scavenger hunt!

Congratulations to WHS's September Student of the Month Sophie Mager!
Sophie is the lead in this year's Musical, Legally Blonde, for which she is at rehearsal from 5 to 9pm three days a week. Sophie is also the section leader for Concert Choir and Honors Choir and is a consistently kind, caring, and intelligent leader for the entire concert Choir. The success of the Musical, Concert Choir and Honors Choir are largely due to Sophie's dedication to both musical greatness and consistent growth of character.
Sophie is also the drumline captain of the high school band. During the early weeks of school she ran drumline rehearsals during Start to help get her section ready for homecoming. She is an effective leader who helps increase the confidence of her peers. Sophie remembers what it was like to be a new member of the band and is encouraging to those who are beginning their high school band journey. Sophie is also a new member of the jazz ensemble this year and doing a great job learning how to play jazz piano. Her quiet leadership in this class is helping the rhythm section grow in their skills and her positive attitude is contagious to those around her.
Finally Sophie is working very hard in her independent study to prepare music for college auditions as she plans to be a music education major. We appreciate all the wonderful traits that Sophie brings to our school community and music program and feel she is well deserving of the honor of student of the month.

First, they created their own wands and magic spell books that they filled with Harry Potter spells.

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.
Happy Nurses Day to our WASD School Nurse Cari Pronschinske! Thank you for all you have done to get the entire District safely though the school year! We couldn't have done it without you!
This week Adams-Columbia Electric Cooperative did their line safety demonstration for students in Ms. Wheaton's Engineering and Technology class. They shared information on electrical safety and careers in the field. Thanks ACEC for a great presentation.

WHS students in Basic Interior Design, a dual credit course with Fox Valley Technical College, spent some time before spring break making mini barn boards.
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.

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.

Once they collected their paper basketballs, they played "Trashketball". They could shoot one or two point shots.

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.

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!
