Wautoma Area School District

Our Redgranite Kindergartners are learning all about community helpers! Over the past few weeks, students have been exploring the many important roles that help keep our community running—nurses, police officers, librarians, farmers, garbage collectors, and many more. Yesterday, they had a special opportunity—a visit to the Redgranite Fire Department! During the visit, students toured the fire station, learned about the different trucks, tools, and life-saving equipment, and asked tons of great questions. Students especially loved receiving their own firefighter hats, junior firefighter stickers, and fire safety activity books! A huge thank you to the amazing fire department staff who made this experience so memorable: Jeff Myszewski – Deputy Fire Chief / Firefighter / EMT; Kathy Myszewski – Administrative Assistant; Mike Getchius – Firefighter / Fire Inspector; Justin Niklinski – Firefighter. Thank you for helping our students learn more about the important work you do!

On Friday, Kevin Ramsby spoke to the Parkside 8th Grade and Wautoma High School students about his journey, "The Fight to Forgive." While living in inner-city Detroit, Ramsby survived a brutal home invasion in the summer of 2009, during which he was stabbed 37 times and left for dead. During his recovery, he became consumed with the desire to track down his attacker and bring him to justice. However, through the difficult process of forgiveness, Ramsby not only forgave the man who nearly killed him but also began working regularly with death row inmates, sharing his story and promoting healing through forgiveness.

This student is an outstanding student who truly embodies the character trait of cooperation. He works well with his classmates, always willing to listen, share, and take turns to ensure that everyone feels included. Whether he’s working with a group, helping a friend understand a lesson, or playing fairly at recess, this student demonstrates teamwork and a positive attitude. His ability to communicate respectfully and problem-solve with others makes him a great role model in the classroom. He understands that working together makes everyone stronger, and he always puts in the effort to support those around him. In addition to his incredible cooperation, this student also shines with integrity, kindness, empathy, respect, responsibility, hard work, and perseverance. He treats everyone with kindness and respect, making sure his friends feel valued and heard. His strong sense of responsibility is evident in the way he completes his work with dedication and never gives up, even when faced with challenges. His perseverance helps him tackle tough tasks with determination. On top of all that, this student’s great smile and funny personality bring joy to those around him, making the classroom a happier place. His combination of strong character and positive energy makes him the perfect choice for the character award for cooperation. It is with great pleasure that I am honored to nominate Elijah Sullivan for Redgranite Student of the Month.
