A huge thank you goes out to the Wautoma Public Library for connecting Mrs. Wilson’s CPR Class with protective eye glasses for viewing this past Saturday’s Annular Solar Eclipse.
The next “Ring of Fire” won’t be viewable until 2046! Additionally these glasses will be helpful for students to view the total eclipse on April 8th! We are also looking forward to the Moon Gazing on Saturday, starting at 7:30PM, with a NASA Ambassador and two huge telescopes for viewing our moon and the stars.
Happy National School Bus Safety Week!
Thank you to all the WASD Bus Drivers who help get our students to and from school safely each day! We appreciate all you do!

October is National Farm to School Month! Today on the lunch menu at Parkside and WHS is a baked potato bar! Potatoes served today are locally grown from Decker Family Farms! Potatoes are rich in vitamin C, which is an antioxidant! Another major nutrient in potatoes is potassium, an electrolyte which aids in the workings of our heart, muscles, and nervous system!

Last week, Redgranite fifth graders attended Conservation Field Day at Lake Lucerne. This event is put on by the Waushara County Land Conservation and Zoning office. Fifth graders had a blast learning from a variety of different agencies; Wild Rose High School students, the DNR, and Golden Sands. We would like to give a huge shout out to everyone who helped put on this amazing event. We look forward to getting to learn how to protect and recognize things in our wonderful Earth each year.
HOMECOMING PARADE:
The Wautoma Area School District Homecoming Parade will begin at 2 PM and all spectators should avoid the River/Waupaca Street Intersection. All other sections of the parade route are in good shape.
Parkside A+ After-School Program helping pack boxes at the Waushara Food Pantry. They learned the importance of safe handling of food, covering clothing, washing hands, and wearing gloves. Many of the students were excited to help their community and "Pay it Forward".
Throughout the week, the Wautoma High School students have been working hard to produce the commemorative homecoming program and promotional materials. This year's logo was also created by two of Mrs. Appel's students.
The Wisconsin Food Hub has received grants for schools to receive fresh, locally grown produce in Wisconsin. The WASD nutrition program is working with several local growers, including a local apple orchard located right in Wautoma to provide fresh produce to our students at meal time!
Redgranite first, second and third grade students participated in a martial arts afternoon. Mrs. DeMaster from Martial Arts America in Berlin recently taught the children ways to show respect at home and school. Children also learned some techniques to help them stay focused in class. In addition, they learned about self-defense. Her lesson empowered the students and helped build their confidence. Thank you, Mrs. DeMaster!
