The students and staff of Riverview Elementary School are doing their part to help those in need by collecting food for the Waushara County Community Christmas Food Drive.

Redgranite Student Council members are kicking off the "Redgranite Saves the Planet" initiative. This initiative was inspired by last year's 5th grade class. Students realized that much of the waste filling the landfills didn't have to end up there. These items could be recycled. So, they began collecting used school supplies such as markers, highlighters, pens, pencils, crayons, and glue-sticks to ensure that they did not end up in the landfill. The children ended up keeping 665 items out of the landfill. This year's student council members are setting a goal of recycling more than 665 items. Starting today all students and staff at Redgranite Elementary School may start recycling school supplies by putting them in the designated boxes in the school. Let's help Redgranite save the planet!

The first grade team is excited to nominate William for November student of the month.
William is an outstanding example of the Riverview Way, is a great friend to everyone, and is a joy to be around. In November we focus on respect. William shows respect to everyone every day. Some of the ways he shows respect include: listening to others when they are talking, following directions the 1st times, and following the Riverview Way in the halls, lunchroom, classroom, and playground.
William not only shows respect daily, but he also shows responsibility by taking care of himself and always being prepared, empathy by being aware of others feelings, and leadership in the classroom when working in stations.
William is an all around great student and is very worthy of November student of the month.
Congratulations Riverview Literacy Students of the Month!!

Hayley Moore, a senior at Wautoma High School, was one of 1,617 selected from over 68,000 applicants nationwide for the 2022 Coca-Cola Scholars Program. As a semifinalist she will now move onto a rigorous Phase 2 of the application process. Applicants were judged on their academic excellence, leadership and service demonstrated in school and community activities. This selection places Hayley in an elite group of seniors from around the country and we are proud to have her as a community member and student at Wautoma High School.
The Coca-Cola Scholars Program recognizes students who take pride in making a significant impact on their schools and communities. They also know how to lead and serve. Hayley Moore is clearly that type. “We believe that identifying these young leaders throughout the country and encouraging their passion for serving others not only empowers the students, but also lifts up those around them.” said Jane Hale Hopkins, President of the Foundation. “The Coca-Cola system is dedicated to giving back to the communities they serve, and the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation is proud to be a part of that commitment.”
Ultimately, 150 Coca-Cola Scholars will be selected to receive this prestigious $20,000 scholarship.

This year we were honored that 2 of our Wautoma students were chosen as the high school winners. These students are: Gabe Ascher and Hayley Moore.
Redgranite third graders recently participated in Oceanspray's "Cranberries in the Classroom." Students learned a lot of information about cranberries, their ecosystem and the cranberry harvest. They learned that only five states in the USA produce cranberries and of the five Wisconsin is the top producer. At the end of the unit, students participated in a cranberry tasting. Students were also scientists as they participated in an experiment called "Dancing Cranberries." They also put their engineering skills to work as they created a catapult to launch cranberries. We LOVE cranberries!
On Monday, November 15th, students from Mr. Lenz's WHS FVTC Dual Credit College Tech Math class attended a field trip to Heartland Farms. Students were introduced to the farm's history and were exposed to the technical components that allow the farm to run a successful operation. The emphasis of the tour was to connect students to the real-world application of the content and skills that are taught in their current classes to the behind-the-scenes operations of Heartland Farms. A big thank you to Heartland Farms and FVTC for this great experience.

Fynlie Korman, Grade 3, Mrs. Julie Petersen, Teacher
This student is a shining star at Redgranite Elementary School. This student demonstrates responsibility each and every day in many ways. For example, she is ultimately responsible for learning new things and she always puts forth 110% effort to do so. She is responsible for being a leader in our classroom and I can always count on her to lead by example. She is respectful to adults and children in the school. She always speaks in a kind tone and uses her manners. She can be counted on to follow school rules in and out of the classroom. When I think of being responsible, I think of her.
As I nominate this student for the character trait responsibility, I would like to point out that she could also be nominated for the following character trait awards: Respect, Integrity, Empathy, Determination, Leadership and Cooperation. It is with great pleasure that I nominate Fynlie Korman as Redgranite’s Student of the Month.
