When choosing a student to represent fifth grade, Jack automatically came to mind. His teachers have been waiting for the perfect time to nominate him, and that time is now.
Throughout his time at Parkside, Jack has shown great perseverance through challenges, both in school and with friends. In class, he works hard to overcome any obstacle. Some things don’t always come easily to him, but he never gives up.
With friends, Jack has grown a lot. He has learned to accept that everyone is different, including himself. Instead of seeing this as a bad thing, Jack understands that it makes him special. It’s what makes Jack, Jack.
Jack embodies all of the Parkside character traits. He treats everyone with respect and shows empathy to those who may be struggling. He always demonstrates integrity, even when it may be difficult. In class, he is cooperative and makes sure to include others who might feel left out. Jack is incredibly empathetic and can relate to his peers and their situations. He is never afraid to offer his support in a time of need.
Jack is a well-rounded student who always makes the right decision, no matter the situation. He is a strong leader in our fifth-grade hallway, setting a positive example for others. For these reasons and many more, the fifth-grade team is proud to nominate Jack Martz as Parkside’s Student of the Month.
Congratulations, Parkside March Character Award Winners

On March 17th, 2025 Paul Grimm was honored with the Wautoma High School Music Department Friend of the Arts Award. Paul has performed in pit orchestras with our students, accompanied choir and band concerts, and accompanied both instrumental and vocal events at district and state Solo and Ensemble Festivals. Paul is not only a wonderful piano player, but a kind supporter of our students and staff and a supportive presence in the community. We are so grateful that Paul shares his time and talent with us and were excited to make him an official friend of the arts!
Paul graduated with the Wautoma High School class of 1966. He says, "It has been my privilege to be able to give back to the school in my later years of life for the wonderful foundation I received in high school. My musical mentors at school way back then were Harvard Erdman (band) and Wayne Salter (choir). They provided me opportunities to grow as a musician and singer, composer and performer, accompanist, student and person. They enabled me to attain a Gold W in music during my high school years that provided a foundation for later artistic pursuits." Paul's name has been added to a perpetual plaque in the McComb Bruchs Performing Arts Center Lobby. It reads: "This award is bestowed upon exceptional individuals who have generously shared their time and talent. These friends have changed our programs and our lives for the better. We are forever grateful."
Today, Mrs. Gill's Digital Literacy of Healthcare Class went over to FVTC Wautoma Regional Center to learn more about the Medical Assistant Program. Professor Kim Gropp explained what a Medical Assistant does, the ins and outs of the program, cost, and much more. The students were even able to partake in hands-on activities! Thank you Kim for taking the time to talk to the class about the program!

This student is a great role model in the 4th grade classroom. She also possesses 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 soft spoken student knows the difference between what is right and wrong, and is always making good choices and doing the right thing. She is always kind in her encouragement towards others ensuring they also do the right thing. She is quick to follow directions and does so efficiently without any reminders. She is often seen helping other students without them asking for help. This student also is very kind in her demeanor towards her classmates when reminding them of what is expected of them. I am excited to see this student continue to grow as a leader and role model at Redgranite Elementary. It is with great pleasure that I nominate Quinn Hennick for Redgranite’s student of the month.
The 6th Grade Team is proud to nominate this outstanding young man for Parkside's February Student of the Month. The student eagerly absorbs knowledge, always seeking new ways to grow and challenge themselves. The brightness and twinkle in his eyes shines when he is excited about what he is learning, which is nearly every day. He volunteers to help others in class, often being the student who will be in any group, despite where his friends are. He consistently exceeds expectations, tackling challenges with determination and delivering exceptional work that inspires those around them. This young man consistently goes out of their way to help others, offering a smile and support whenever needed. His kindness creates a warm and welcoming environment for everyone around him. We can't say enough to explain how much we appreciate Connor Novak and that is why we feel he is deserving of being Student of the Month. Good job, Connor!
