Our Toot Your Horn Tuesday shout-out goes to the one and only Mr. Woyak, a true powerhouse who doesn't just teach but practically drives the entire school community! He must be running on triple-shot espresso to juggle being an amazing teacher, a coach for three different sports, and the person behind the wheel who safely steers our students home as a bus driver. On top of all that, he leads FCA, guiding students with mentorship. Thank you, Mr. Woyak, for always going the extra mile—you are a phenomenal role model and a major league educator!

This student is a bright and polite individual. We can always count on her everyday to lead by example. You'll find her quietly walking through hallways and always asking to hold doors for others. She's dependable and makes good choices in and outside of the classroom. She always speaks kindly to others, asks for help and permission to use things. When she doesn't understand something she calmly asks for more help and is patient with all around her. With all of these qualities in mind, it is with great pleasure that I am nominating Addie Kutschenreuter as Redgranite Elementary's September Student of the Month.
The Wautoma High School AP and Translations Classes and members of the Spanish National Honor Society visited Heartland House yesterday to deliver handmade cards to Eddie Bursack in celebration of her 90th Birthday. Eddie proudly served as a custodian for the Wautoma Area School District for 45 years!
Students from all of Mrs. Peterman’s classes and the FCCLA also helped create the thoughtful cards that brightened Eddie’s day. 🌟💌
Toot Your Horn Tuesday!

Happy Homecoming Week!
In the first couple weeks of school, Mrs. Jackowski could already tell that Beau deserved a student of the month nomination. During lessons, Beau is always sitting still, watching the teacher, and thinking about what he's learning.
During work time, Beau gets started right away, keeps working hard the whole time, and cleans up after himself when he's done. When it's time to work with a partner or group, I know Beau will cooperate with anyone. During playtimes, I see him being a kind friend and showing encouragement to other kids.
Beau is a great example of a kind, safe, and responsible Riverview Elementary School student.

The Inaugural Parkside Hornet Hero Award was given to Mr. Pat Wolff during the Schoolwide CPR held earlier this week. The award was created as a way to recognize staff members who have had an important impact on students at Parkside.
For the month of September, the Tech Ninjas discussed, voted, and wrote up why Mr. Wolff was deserving of this award as a group, stating:
“Mr. Wolff is honest, funny and tells the best stories. He teaches using a variety of activities which makes learning easier and more enjoyable. He explains difficult concepts well and works through examples with students. Mr. Wolff is eager to help students if they ask and has dedicated over three decades to helping students grow their math and citizenship skills. For these reasons and many more, Mr. Wolff is receiving the first ever Hornet Hero Award.”
Congratulations, Mr. Wolff!

Mrs. Gill's Health, Safety, and Nutrition Class recently designed Infant/Toddler toys as a part of their Safety Unit. Students had to create a 3D model of their toy, provide specifications of the product, and design a flyer for parents to convince them to buy the toy. Safe to say it was a fun project!
This fourth grader knows the ins and outs of Parkside, so he didn’t need any time to adjust to the new routines or expectations. He deserves to be Parkside’s first 25/26 student of the month because he is brand new to this school, and he already follows every single expectation without needing redirections or reminders. He knows how to balance fun and learning, and he does just that in class. Every day he’s in the classroom with a smile on, ready to take on the day. He is always prepared for class, and his is one of the first hands up when it is time to answer a question or share a thoughtful idea. We just know he is going to have a wonderful year, so the fourth grade team is thrilled to nominate Charlie Regan for Parkside’s September Student of the Month!
