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.

Wautoma High school is proud to announce that the following students were selected: Bryson Buss (poetry); Jaina Koerner (poetry); Onycha Schreiner (prose); Teagan Reitz (prose); Aubrey Dickson (prose); Arly Gomez (drawing); Michael Roche (photography); Owen Mulvey (graphic design); Hayley Moore (photography); Dinah Schmidt (oil painting); and James Barbarich (wire sculpture).

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.

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!

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.

PAJAMA DRIVE UPDATE:
Third Graders in Redgranite are currently hosting the 10th Annual Pajama Drive. Due to our current school closure, the students had to get creative on how to collect pj's for this year's PJ Drive.
The class was inspired to hold a virtual Pajama Drive by classmate Cadence Lederhaus. Cadence has asked friends and family to donate to the cause and she has currently collected 41 sets of pajamas. In addition, the class has collected another 13 sets of pajamas and has also collected $100 in monetary donations.
There is still time to donate pajamas or make monetary donations. If you have questions on how or where to donate, please reach out to Mrs. Petersen at petersenj@wautoma.k12.wi.us.
Reminder: All donations will be given to the Waushara County Christmas Project and benefit families in our area.

Becoming educated and informing others are ways everyone can be involved with prevention. As
community members, it is critical we know what's happening and the warning signs of victimization.

Coronavirus is very common respiratory illness that can be seen throughout the entire year but is more common in the fall and winter months. This virus has been around since the 1960’s. The illness that is making the headlines is a new form of this virus called 2019-CoV. The signs and symptoms are the same as the Common Coronavirus. To avoid getting this or any other virus, follow good hygiene etiquette and encourage your students to do the same.
Signs and Symptoms of Coronavirus and other Respiratory Viruses:
-Runny nose
-Headache
-Cough
-Sore throat
-Fever
-Not feeling well
-Shortness of breath, especially when at rest
How to prevent the spread of viruses:
-Frequently wash your hands with soap and water
-Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands
-Avoid close contact with people who are sick
-Cough or sneeze into your elbow/cover your mouth and nose with a tissue and then throw the tissue in the trash and wash your hands
-Clean and disinfect objects and surfaces as needed
-Stay home if you are sick!

Parkside students will have the opportunity to buy flowers and candy conversation hearts for their friends and family starting this week. Pre-sales will be happening from January 21st- 31st, with delivery being February 14th. All proceeds will be going to the Herma Heart Center at the Children's Hospital of Milwaukee.

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.

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.

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.

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

"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.

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.

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.

Why Eat School Lunch?
School lunch offers students a nutritious menu variety that follows the Dietary Guidelines for Americans which recommend that no more than 30% of calories come from fat and less than 10% from saturated fat. Regulations also establish a standard for school lunches to provide one-third of the Recommended Dietary Allowances of protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, calcium and calories. Students that eat meals served through the National School Lunch Program are more likely to be at a healthy weight. NSLP participants are more likely to consume vegetables, milk, milk products, and meat than those students packing their lunch from home.
How Do I Apply For Free Lunch? Do I Need to be Income Qualified? Yes, see income guidelines on our school website under Food Service. Applications are available in any of our school offices. You may also apply online by going to www.wautomasd.org click on Explore> Parents And Students> Infinite Campus Portal. You only have to do one application per family

Students in Mrs. Shepard's 6th grade class are determining when reading is fantastic and what happens when reading goes terribly wrong for them. They were put into small groups and then as a whole group, they made a master list so they can use this to overcome some of the stumbling points of reading and how to focus on what is in their control. Some reasons of why reading is difficult include when they are distracted, when seating is uncomfortable or they are reading a book too hard for them. Some reasons of why reading is not positive include when they get to choose their book, they can reread a book and when they have a personal connection to the text. We are off to a great start this year.

Wautoma Area School District bus drivers recently participated in a Human Trafficking Training, with collaboration and information from Department of Homeland Security and the Blue Campaign, and Truckers Against Trafficking. All of our drivers are now "Busing on the Lookout" (BOTL) this year; to help keep our youth and community safe while our Nation continues to fight the 2nd largest crime in our nation. Thank you to all our drivers for participating in this training.

The first few weeks before school started the WASD nutrition staff attend several training's and a back to school food show where nutrition staff were introduced to new products that we can serve to our students. The nutrition staff had food safety and sanitation training presented by the local health inspector, learned about cooking and serving nutritious and eye appealing meals to our students, adding flavor to our school meals without adding extra sodium and had many hands on training's such as knife cutting skills, how to use an epipen, how to recognize a food allergy, cross contamination and more taught by school Nurse Cari. We are ready for a great start to the new school year!

Wautoma Area School District will be Busing on the Lookout (BOTL) this year!
When building an army to fight a crime like human trafficking, the bus industry has a key role to fill. Through their sheer numbers, extensive travels, and the nature of their jobs, members of the bus industry—commercial and school—are uniquely positioned to provide an extra set of eyes and ears for law enforcement in recovering victims and arresting traffickers.
Our bus drivers are the eyes, and ears of the road, rest stops, sporting events, tourist areas, and other places where trafficking may occur. Human Traffickers use bus terminals and bus stops as recruiting areas when they are looking for vulnerable people. Primary minors, young adults, to exploit, hence the reason why our school district is enforcing education on the 2nd largest crime in our nation!
