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".
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!
On September 28, emergency management, law enforcement, and county school districts met to review current emergency/crisis plans. The objective of the meeting was to establish consistency within the plans across the county agencies and school districts. This group will be meeting quarterly to ensure collaboration, consistency, and opportunities for practice related to emergency preparedness and response.
Thank You for all you do for the Wautoma Area School District! We Appreciate You!

Wautoma High School Family and Consumer Science Teacher Kayla Gill was recently recognized at the Wisconsin Family and Consumer Educators (WFCE) Conference on August 2, for her work towards the Childcare Certification. With Mrs. Gill obtaining this specific certification, it allows for all of the WHS childcare classes to be dual credit.
To obtain the Childcare Certification requires teachers to work 1,000 hours at a daycare setting. Mrs. Gill was able to obtain her hours working at Little Sprouts from January to August and a call as the University of Stevens-Point, which tripled her hours in order to meet the requirement. Congratulations!
