Second Graders at Redgranite Elementary School want to give a big thank you to Mr. Clark Johnson and the AT&T Pioneers. Mr. Johnson presented each of the students with their very own dictionary and reference book on behalf of the Pioneers. These dictionaries will be invaluable tools as the students use them to learn about words, states, presidents, and more! Thank you again Mr. Johnson and AT&T Pioneers!
Responsibility is a vital aspect of our lives, especially at school. It refers to the duty we have to take care of certain tasks and the ability to be accountable for our actions.
The following student demonstrates responsibility on a daily basis. He attends school regularly, he completes his daily assignments on time, and he participates in class activities.
Because this student consistently demonstrates responsibility I am able to trust him. I can trust him to be kind to others, I can trust him to work hard to improve in all subject areas and I can trust him to be a leader in our classroom.
Being responsible at school is definitely preparing him for the future. He is very dependable, makes thoughtful decisions and understands the impact of his actions. These qualities are certain to help him be successful in the future.
It is with great pleasure that I nominate Kavik Hartmann as Redgranite’s Student of the Month.
Thank you to everyone who voted on the referendum. While the referendum did not pass, we respect the voting process and the decision of the community.
Our district has significant needs that will not go away. These unresolved challenges have a direct impact on our students, staff, and overall community, and they will need to be addressed. They cannot be solved without taxpayer support. As such, we will continue long-range facility planning, engaging the community, and pursuing future referenda so that every building and every child has improved opportunities for success.
The schoolwide art collaboratives created by Mrs. Miller's art students at Riverview and Redgranite are now gracing the walls of their respective schools. The students drew inspiration from artist Jen Stark's "drip" murals to create their pieces. Some of the staff members and Riverview 4K students also contributed to the project.
Third graders at Redgranite will be kicking off the 15th Annual WASD Pajama Drive on November 11. This past week, students received a generous donation of fleece tie blankets from community member Jackie Scott. The blankets will pair nicely with the pajamas! Children around Waushara County will be able to be nice and cozy this winter. The students would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Mrs. Scott for her generosity.
If you would like to make a donation to the Pajama Drive, we will be accepting new, unused sets of pajamas at each school's main office throughout the district from November 11 to November 22. Thank you in advance for making this community service project a success year after year.
Redgranite Third Graders have adopted a cow this year through the Discover Dairy Adopt a Cow Program. Students have learned that their calf, named Indy, is being raised on a farm in Eldorado, Wisconsin. Students are excited to watch Indy grow throughout the school year. They are also excited to learn more about dairy farming.
The third graders currently need your help! From November 4-6, the students need your support to vote for Indy. Please use the QR code to vote for their calf! If Indy wins, she will receive a special care package! Thanks for your support!
In recognition of his outstanding character traits, the Library, Physical Education, and Alternative Education Departments would like to recognize Landon Johnson as the September Student of the Month. He has been incredibly helpful to Mrs. Roberts in the library, consistently going above and beyond what is asked of him.
Landon demonstrates a strong commitment to success in everything he does. He is always honest about his workload and willingly steps up to help in the classroom. Whether it’s finding the correct book or returning items to the shelf, he shows great responsibility. Additionally, he contributes positively to the Hornet Café and consistently submits his work on time. He balances his responsibilities, ensuring that homework is completed either at school or at home on time. What truly sets Landon apart is his willingness to support his peers. He
goes out of his way to assist students in need, whether it's helping them find their way to a classroom or offering guidance to newcomers.
Landon exemplifies the best qualities of a student and a leader and we are proud to name him as Wautoma High School’s Student of the Month.
The Riverview 2nd Graders are learning about solids and liquids in Science. This week students built towers by starting an investigation on what makes a towers tall and strong. Each group started with a hypothesis, experimented, and then reflected on the process.
