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.
Congratulations to Riverview Literacy Student of the Month! Keep reading!
This afternoon, WHS students and staff attended a presentation by motivational speaker Cory Greenwood.

Congratulations to Redgranite Elementary's Character Trait Award winners!
This student demonstrates respect from the very beginning of the day. During our morning meetings, he greets his classmates using eye contact and a kind voice making sure that his classmates feel welcome. He also listens attentively to his classmates when they share during morning meetings. 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.
Mrs. Julie Petersen, Grade 3, Redgranite
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.

Congratulations to Skyler, Parkside's 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!!

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!

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.
The Wautoma Area School District is accepting applications for a Secretary at Redgranite Elementary School. For more information or to obtain a job description, please contact Redgranite Principal Caitlin Richter at 920-787-7112 ext. 2001. Interested candidates should send a cover letter, resume, and two letters of recommendation to Redgranite Elementary School, Attn: Caitlin Richter, PO Box 649, Redgranite 54970. Applications will be accepted until Friday, November 19, 2021. The District is an equal opportunity employer.
It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that the WHS CTE department nominates Abbi Zindars for the October Student of the Month.
Abbi has started the year off on a very strong note! Not only has she excelled in her academics she also has gone above and beyond in extracurriculars. 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.
Parkside A+ had fun in getting back into the afterschool routine! In September students played ping pong, learned about the Octopus through experiments, started up chess club and one student found a chrysalis!

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.
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.
Riverview second graders learned about PIE (Author's purpose) this week. Authors write to persuade, inform and entertain. Some even enjoyed a slice of pie. Yum!!

Nomination from Mr. Woyak: I am nominating Josiah for student of the month. Josiah treats ALL people in a kind and caring way. 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. Josiah leads others through his words and actions. Josiah was chosen to work with a kindergarten student that needs assistance with daily activities in class. I can count on Josiah to make positive choices. Josiah is very polite. He has great manners, and thanks me daily for the work I give him. Josiah is determined to be successful in everything he does.

Josiah’s behavior is outstanding! He pays attention to whomever is speaking, shows great self-control, and follows directions closely. Josiah is a super role model, a fun person to work with, and deserving of student of the month!

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!

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

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!

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.

Parents, Guardians, and Community Members,
It had been reported that a salesperson named Fatima Al-Shamari from Southwestern Advantage has been selling children's books door to door in our community and is communicating that she is connected to the Wautoma Area School District - that is an UNTRUE statement. 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.
Tom Rheinheimer - District Administrator
