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!

The Wautoma High School Social Studies Department is nominating Dallas Duke for this September’s Student of the Month.
This selection begins at the heart of teachers' anxieties before the school year even begins: “Am I ready for classes to start?” Numbered among those anxieties are problems and trepidations about technology. That is where Dallas manifested.
Dallas, in her role as a tech ninja, sprang to action even before school started by getting computers and Chromebooks serviced and ready for the new school year. As teachers prepared and planned, Dallas popped in and out of classrooms, fixing computers and troubleshooting problems. All of this was done with a smile and the question: “What can I do to help?” When classes started, Dallas picked up as an academic right where she left off last year, by engaging as a thoughtful and inquisitive student in the pursuit of knowledge.
Dallas exemplifies what a responsible student should be here at Wautoma High School!

Last week, Mrs. Schwatz's Class talked about the author Eric Carle. Riverview Elementary Principal Mr. K came to read one of his favorite Eric Carle books, "Do You Want to be My Friend?" to our class. This story fit perfectly into our Work and People Skills about building a community and our new reading series where we look at pictures and words to help us understand the story. Thanks for stopping by, Mr. K!

At Redgranite Elementary, our walking path has proven to be a good form of exercise and has taken us on some incredible journeys!
Over the years, students and staff have walked thousands of miles, working together to reach amazing goals—like walking the distance of Route 66, trekking from one state capital to another, and walking the distance equivalent to the Ice Age Trail. It hasn’t always been easy, but with determination, teamwork, and perseverance, we’ve proven that every step counts.
This school year, we’re setting out on our newest adventure: walking the distance of explorer Colin O’Brady’s historic 932-mile journey across Antarctica! We can’t wait to lace up our shoes, hit the path, and accomplish this feat together!
