Congratulations to Redgranite Elementary's March Student of the Month:
This student possesses outstanding character. She truly embodies all of the character traits and is a leader in our classroom and in our school. Over the past month our school has been focusing on the character trait integrity. This student shows integrity every single day. She is honest and truthful with adults and peers, I can always count on her to do the right thing (even when it is hard), and she goes above and beyond to be a helper in our classroom. When she notices something out of place, she will put it where it goes without any prompting from an adult. When someone is misbehaving, she will use kind words to remind the classmate of the expectations. This student also loves school. She enjoys playing with her classmates and often is the one creating the elaborate play scenarios. This student also loves to learn, when it is time to settle down she is the first one on her learning spot with her body ready to learn. She is often the first one with her hand raised to ask and answer questions while we are learning. During sharing time, this student displays wonderful listening skills. She listens attentively and respectfully to each of her classmates and asks relevant questions to learn more. I am very excited to see the progress this student makes in all of her future years of school. She is off to a WONDERFUL start. It is for all of these reasons, and many more, that I would like to nominate Kaylee Sheller for Redgranite’s Student of the Month.
Also, congratulations to the following Redgranite Elementary Integrity Character Trait Awards Winners: Cody Griffin, Ebony Boening (not pictured), Nevaeh Higgins, Ryker Withall, and Connor Hoople.
Redgranite Elementary staff and students would like to give a big THANK YOU to Deputy Wenzel and Deputy Thor for their visit this week. Students respectfully listened to Deputy Wenzel explain about what he and his K-9 partner Deputy Thor do day to day. They asked thoughtful and respectful questions and listened attentively, raised their hands, and waited to be called on before asking their questions. Deputy Wenzel also brought Thor around for students to pet. Thank you again, Deputy Wenzel and Deputy Thor for your visit, it was paws-itively wonderful!

Congratulations to Landon Keller, WHS Student of the Month for March 2022.
It is an honor to nominate Landon Keller for March student of the month. In the classroom Landon is a leader, dependable team member and always has a positive attitude. It never fails that Landon has a smile on his face when he walks into the class, his energy lights up the classroom.
When working with peers in the classroom, Landon is determined to work through any problem and help his team members to achieve success. As a coach in the high school, I have always been impressed with Landon’s effort on the court and off the court as well. This summer I asked Landon for his assistance taking admission to girl’s summer league, and he willingly came in and helped us out when we needed it - that’s the kind of team player Landon is.
In Chemistry Landon has regularly shown the ability to use creative problem-solving skills. He not only devises unique strategies, but he can also articulate why his method for tackling the problem will work well. Additionally, Landon can often be seen helping his peers in class.
In Miss H's third-grade class, we spent the month of March improving our multiplication skills. We made a "March Madness Multiplication" bracket where the kids went against each other to see who would be the winner of the class. Miss H's class went against each other until we had a final winner, as well as Mrs. Michalski's class. The end winners from each class went against each other for the final championship. Katelyn and Maya were our winners from each class. Katelyn was our final winner! We talked about how everyone is a winner in our class!
The WASD COVID-19 Testing Site at Crossroads will be closed on Friday, April 8th. Regular testing dates and hours will resume on Monday, April 11th.
On Tuesday Mrs. Walbrun's Math classes had a lot of fun practicing finding area and perimeter using Cheez It's. Not only did they get in a lot of practice and learning, but they of course enjoyed getting to eat them when done making arrays with them.
The 15th and Final Heroes Musicales benefitting the American Red Cross will be held in-person and virtually this year.

Last week Redgranite 5th graders took to the ice to learn more about the sport of curling. They would like to extend a giant 'Thank You' to the volunteers and members of the Appleton Curling Club for teaching them about the sport and restraining their laughs when their feet were no longer on the ice, but in the air. The kids did an awesome job staying positive and encouraging each other while they were all taking a risk and trying something new and challenging.
Third grade students in Redgranite would like to send a heartfelt thank you to all of the students, staff, and community members who donated to the 12th Annual Pajama Drive. The students were able to collect exactly 200 sets of pajamas and they also collected $690.78 to purchase additional sets of pajamas. The children are well on their way to surpassing their goal of collecting 200 sets! Thank you to everyone for your generosity and kindness. We appreciate you!
