Flambeau Students, Parents, Staff and Community Members:
Please allow me to take this opportunity to share information about, and my thoughts on, the
recently proposed Accountability Bill, Assembly Bill 1. This proposal, as it currently stands, is
an attempt to severely alter public schools.
I am going to attempt to write a simple summary of complicated, proposed legislation. In short,
Assembly Bill 1 will create an Academic Review Board. This board will assign letter grades to
schools based on their School Report Card scores. If a school earns a D or F as a letter grade,
the school would face sanctions. At the bill’s most invasive level, the school could be “taken
over” by the state. That means the local school board would not govern the school.
I think the most troubling aspect of this potential legislation is the idea that utilizing the School
Report Card scores to decide the grade a given school shall receive is sound. The assessments
that were and are being used to provide the scores for our three schools: Flambeau Elementary,
Flambeau Junior High, and Flambeau High School are in the process of changing. Essentially,
the discipline of statistics would not agree with this plan. The change in assessment renders
all old data worthless and there would need to be an appropriate length of time used to study
the new assessments to ensure the data is sound. However, as it stands, Assembly Bill 1 is
marked to begin with the 2016-2017 school year. That means our three schools will be given
a letter grade based on the achievement of our students on tests we have not even seen yet.
For example, this last fall was the first time our ninth grade students took the ACT Aspire test.
We have only recently received the results from said test. The information provided to us from
the testing company shows, without a doubt, that we have much work to do at Flambeau to
prepare all students to take and succeed on the ACT test (normally taken during junior year).
The School Report Card scores, however, will be shaped using the ACT Aspire data before
we have a chance to analyze our gaps and work to correct any possible deficiencies in our
instruction.
Jerry Fiene, of the Wisconsin Rural Schools Alliance, wrote the following, “Of greatest concern
to rural school districts is the move to a series of sanctions which lead to the conversion of
persistently low performing schools into independent charter schools under the oversight of
the Academic Review Board instead of locally elected school boards.”
It is important for people to understand that the funding for these “independent charters” comes
from our current state aid. In fact, approximately $55,500 Flambeau was supposed to receive
as general aid for this school year was funneled to charter schools in larger cities. What the
bill, in its current form, essentially means is that as public schools are converted to independent
charters (with no local control) there will be less money for the remaining public schools (which
are locally controlled). This proposed bill would increase the deductions from Flambeau’s local
state aids in order to pay for the newly created independent charter schools. This will result in
further increases to your property taxes.
Like most initiatives or “changes” that have come about in the last five or so years and impacted
public education in our state, Assembly Bill 1 is coming from a place far from Flambeau. If this
information concerns you as a parent, taxpayer, or employee, I urge you to get involved by
contacting our state representatives.
Sincerely,
Matthew A. Spets
District Administrator

veterans’ Day celebration!
Our 2014 Veterans’ Day celebration was delayed due to weather and school closing, but nothing would prevent us from letting our veterans know
we care about them and we appreciate their service!
This year, Mrs. Verdegan’s high school Speech class students interviewed & photographed some of our area vets. We hope to gather more stories
and pictures for November 2015!
Patriotic musical selections from our high school band, high school and junior high choirs and elementary students filled us with pride. Our kindergarten students gave us a special treat by leading us in the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance. Americanism essay contest winners, Sam Cegler
and Tanner Thompson, senior Alyssia Geimer, and our
keynote speaker Chris Schwaller, spoke about American
pride, duty and sacrifice. A special part of our program is hearing from our veterans in attendance, a bit about themselves
and their service. Veterans from American Legion York-Kohler
Post #316, Sheldon and Cuff Patrick Post #174, Hawkins provided a color guard for us. The program concluded with “Taps”
played by Morgan Sports.
Veterans enjoyed staff and students personally shaking their hand
and thanking them for their service, and many stayed for lunch
sponsored by the district and served by high school students.
We’d like to thank everyone who helped with the program in
any way, everyone who braved the weather to attend and especially OUR VETERANS! THANK YOU!!

PK-6 news
Dear Parents, Students, Staff and Community Members,
The Flambeau Four-Year-Old Kindergarten program has been a great program for our young children this year. Being able to work in collaboration with Head Start, who are now housed in our building and running four full days with two highly qualified early childhood teachers and a
paraprofessional has created a very creative, child and family centered environment. Our 4YK curriculum is guided by the Wisconsin Model for
Early Learning Standards and Creative Curriculum, which is a play-based program that includes social/emotional needs, daily living, language
and literacy, creative expression and movement. Incorporated into the schedule is also the Second Step Curriculum, which addresses each
child’s social emotional development.
on Wednesday, february 25 we would like to invite you and your child to participate in our annual Child Development Day and 4YK Registration from 9:00 AM-6:00 PM. If you have a child turning three or four years old before September 1, 2015 we encourage you to join us that
day. To schedule an appointment please call Sharalyn Overhagen at 715-532-4722. Although appointments are preferred, we will most definitely welcome walk-ins.
You may ask why you would visit us on Child Development Day at Flambeau? This day will provide a positive opportunity for your child’s first
visit to school and gives you the opportunity to make connections with local community programs available to you. Your child will be able to
meet both 4YK teachers while having fun playing and partaking in activities. There will be a snack provided and a goodie bag for each child to
take home.
Families of children who will be attending Kindergarten in the Fall of 2015 are welcome to join us in a Kindergarten Open House and
Kindergarten Registration on March 4, 2015 from 9:00-6:00. We are welcoming all families regardless of whether or not your child attended
the Flambeau 4YK program this year. Appointments are not necessary for this Open House. We would simply like to take the opportunity to
visit with you and your child, answer questions you may have about your child attending Kindergarten in the Fall, and showcase some of the
great activities that take place in Kindergarten here at Flambeau!
Sincerely,
Erica Schley
4YK-6 Principal
flambeau 4yK
We have been a very busy bunch so far this year in 4YK learning the letters of the
alphabet along with the sounds they make, name writing, colors, shapes and numbers!
The 4YK class has been learning how to follow school-wide expectations, cooperate
and share with each other and being kind (filling each other’s buckets) while also
exploring art, partaking in imaginative play, cooking and science activities. Students
are also learning how to use the educational games on the Ipads and the SmartBoard.
We have enjoyed welcoming families into our rooms for parent information meetings
and fun activities in the classroom. One of the big highlights from the beginning of
the year was our field trip to Ferguson’s Apple Orchard in Eau Claire. We had a great
time learning how apples grow and how to take an apple carefully off of the tree.
Before tasting an apple, we learned that the white “stuff” on the apple is the
“sunscreen” that protects the apple from being burned by the sun. We have also had
parents join us for a fall walk in the woods, a Halloween Party, a Thanksgiving
Celebration and a Teddy Bear Picnic. We have had great participation from families
with both school events and at-home activities and are very thankful for their support
of their children and the school.
In the month of December we worked on a fun unit on Bears complete with cooking
& science activities, exploring a bear skull and hide, story retelling and learning about
words and sentences, as well as a variety of math activities (patterning, sorting,
counting and using position words). We are currently doing a unit on Winter Holidays
with patterning, cooking, science, number recognition and memory games, as well
as exciting holiday projects. Each month, we plan to have at least one family activity.
In January and February, we will be asking special guest readers to join us in our
classroom, as well as going to our local libraries for two special activity days. Please
contact us if you have any questions about the 4YK program.

to building his or her self-esteem. A child with good self-esteem is less
likely to want to use drugs or fail in school, and more likely to do their very
best and reach their potential. In addition to parents & guardians, other
adults in a child’s life, such as his/her teachers, aunts, uncles, friends,
community members, etc., can help build self-esteem in children. Here
are a few suggestions I found that can help build a child's self-esteem:

to the 5th graDe
1. Be realistic. Don't berate your child for not being “perfect.” Don’t think
you have to be the best parent/guardian in the world.
2. Be the best role model you can be. Your child watches you every second you're together. He or she will do as you do, not as you say, so
“do” the best you can.
3. Talk with your child, not at him or her. Show respect for your child's
opinion.
4. Openly give your love with hugs, kisses, and praise. The more a child
feels loved, the more he or she will listen to you.
5. Lighten up. Allow yourself to laugh when things don't go as planned.
6. Get involved. Show your child you care about his or her life and education by taking an active role whenever possible.
7. Discipline with love. Treat your child fairly and firmly to establish a positive connection between the two of you. This will also give your child
a foundation of solid values for life.

stuDents give rather than receive
Both of the 4th Grade classes decided to give instead of receive this holiday season. The students brought in toys, treats, supplies, and money for
the Rusk County Animal Shelter in Ladysmith. They brought in a lot of great items for the dogs, cats, and shelter. Way to go, 4th graders!!!

of, “It is important to help other people. And, it’s fun!” “I like being a secret
Santa,” and “I’m glad we could make people happy on Christmas.” The
students learned that even at seven and eight years of age, they can
make a positive difference in someone’s life. This was definitely a holiday
lesson they will always remember.
- Teresa Steckel
It is all about giving, not getting. This was the lesson being taught in Mrs.
Steckel and Mrs. Zimmer’s second grade classrooms this holiday season.
From Thanksgiving to the end of December, second grade students and
teachers collected pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and dollars in hopes
of giving happiness to some of the elderly in our community. Flambeau
students have been helping others in the community by taking part in this
rewarding project, “Pennies for Presents” for over 10 years.
Ten names were taken off of the tree at Ladysmith Care Community, and
sixteen names from Care Partners Assisted Living. The second grade
classes raised money to fill those Christmas wishes. After a few weeks
of saving and collecting money from family members and friends, the students were ready to take a trip into Ladysmith to complete the project.
The first stop was Ladysmith Federal Savings and Loan, where the students cashed in their change; the classes collected a total of $638.88!
Wowza! When we were at the bank, students also talked with bank staff
and received an educational tour. We then headed out for lunch at McDonalds, for a “rewarding” lunch!
After lunch, we went to visit the Ladysmith Care Community and then to
Care Partners Assisted Living where the students, parents and teachers
spent time caroling with the residents and staff. This is always a fun time
for all - the students and teachers as well as the residents. Before leaving
each place, the students gave residents a festively designed poinsettia
to help decorate for the holidays.
With money in their hands, the students then headed to Walmart for holiday shopping. Using their math skills and many wonderful parent chaperones, the shopping fun began. Thanks to the generosity of those
donating the money, the students were able to purchase items for all. The
residents received gifts of blankets, lotions, bird feeders, clothing, chocolates, cozy socks, mittens, popcorn, and more.
Throughout this project the second grade students (and teachers) found
out that it feels even better to give than it does to receive. There were
many heartfelt comments over the weeks leading up to shopping day, but
comments that reiterated over the weeks were the students’ exclamations

middle/high news
Dear Students, Parents, Staff, and Flambeau Community Members:
As you know, the students and staff at Flambeau Junior High and Flambeau High School have experienced a great deal of change this year.
More is demanded of both students and teachers than ever before. Couple these new demands with the fact that we are sending our students
into an increasingly complex and uncertain world, and the need for system-wide and structural changes becomes apparent. While we have
taken steps in the right direction, more must be done to ensure that all of our students graduate ready for college, technical school, and/or their
career. The moment we settle for “good enough” is the moment when our students fall behind. Continuous improvement must become a way of
life for all of us.
All of this is to say that there are more changes on the way for Flambeau in 2015 - 2016. These changes have been guided by what has
worked in schools similar to Flambeau. It will take a few years to implement these changes in their totality, but in taking these steps, we will be
better preparing our students for life after high school and positioning ourselves as the school of choice in Rusk County. Here is an overview of
what’s coming:
• Flambeau Junior High Becomes Flambeau Middle School
While this may seem like a simple name change, becoming a middle school is essentially a philosophical shift. A middle school utilizes an
interdisciplinary team-oriented approach, whereas a junior high consists of individual subjects that rarely coordinate. A middle school uses
large, flexible blocks of time to promote deeper learning, whereas a junior high has a rigid schedule with relatively short class periods. A
middle school philosophy is research-based and will provide our young adolescents with a greater chance of success.
Next year, we will have a team of four teachers dedicated to teaching only our middle school students (grades 7 and 8). Our schedule will
allow those teachers to work together, in some instances team-teaching, for extended periods of time. This will allow our students to receive
more personalized, differentiated instruction, and allow for a project-based approach where learning will be deeper and more meaningful.
• New High School Schedule
The need for more rigorous and relevant courses, as well as the need for deeper learning at the high school level, has led us towards development of a new high school schedule. There are numerous benefits to our new schedule, including an increase in daily class times from 47
minutes to about 70 minutes and an increased capacity for more rigorous and relevant courses without an increase in the number of teachers.
Rather than have separate schedules for 1st and 2nd semesters, all high school students will have the same schedules all year long, but
rotate over three days (A, B, and C days). Students will have five classes each day. Full-credit courses will meet two days out of every
three day rotation, and half-credit courses will meet one out of every three days. Over the course of the year, educational minutes are the
same, but increased time in each class session will allow students to cover more material and develop a deeper understanding.
• New High School Courses
We are preparing students for an uncertain future and for jobs that don’t even exist yet. Given that reality, we needed to expand our
course offerings, so that students are prepared for college, technical school, careers, or any post-secondary option they choose to pursue.
Next year, we will be offering courses such as Anatomy & Physiology, Engineering Design, Computer Programming, Modern Literature,
and Technical Literacy, among a host of others. By adding these new courses, we are putting our kids in position to be successful, no matter their chosen post-secondary endeavor.
We are very excited about these necessary changes. Make no mistake, it will be a lot of work to get our new schedules and new courses off
the ground. It will be well worth the effort, as we know that, in the end, it is in the best interests of our students! If you have any questions,
please feel free to call, e-mail, or set up an appointment.
Yours in education,

life sKills class
Students in the Flambeau Life Skills class have taken their learning
straight to the kitchen. Students have had the opportunity to learn from
staff how to prepare two different types of meals. The first experience in
the kitchen was preparing a traditional turkey dinner with all the fixings.
This was an opportunity for students to show how they can prepare a
meal, invite a staff member, and perform specific skills they have been
learning. Students were able to demonstrate the ability to follow directions,
complete tasks, use manners, work as a team, create invitations, deliver
them, and sit down after preparing a fully cooked meal. It was truly a team
effort between all the kids, and staff involved. The culmination was the
staff sitting down and eating with the students, as they showcased their
manners.
The second experience for the students was a little bit more fun, as they
were able to be paired with teachers to prepare chili that would be judged
by school staff and high school students. Teachers and students were
able to build relationships in the kitchen through conversation, and the
passing of a recipe to the kids. The staff had a great time, and it was fun
watching the teachers interact with students that they may not normally
see in class. After the judging, a team was declared the winner, but honestly, EVERYONE was a winner in the kitchen that day. Results of the
judging were as follows: 4th place -Team Mader with Ms. Mader, Gio
Birch, and Sam Bishop; 3rd place -Team Stamper with Mr. Stamper,
Rachel Lechleitner, and Doug Paulsen; 2nd place -Team Kowaleski with

students, three students classified as Scholastic, and three Varsity students. Flambeau sent three full teams to the competition held at CESA
10, and twenty-seven players competed. One team of nine students is allowed to move on to the next level of competition. This team was determined based on top scores in each of the three team categories. Several
students will receive ribbons for their scores on tests. Nicole Mateski, a
senior, scored a first place in points on the Math and Economics tests,
Shawna vanDoorn, a junior, scored a third place on the Economics test,
Kelsey Schwaller, a junior, scored a third place on the Music test, and
Anna Taylor, a freshman, scored second on the Art and Music tests.
Kelsey Schwaller and Rebecca Lund also earned third place Top Overall
Score in their categories.
The local round of Academic Decathlon competition consisted of multiple
choice written tests. Through the process of competitive elimination, finalist teams were selected from the CESA districts to advance to Regional
Competition to be conducted at five host sites. The Regional Competition,
held at UW-Barron, will include written tests, plus three subjective components with essay, speech and interview. The written tests are determined by United States Academic Decathlon. Regional Competition was
held simultaneously at five host sites on January 9, 2015. Twenty teams
will progress to the State Competition in Wisconsin Dells on March 1213. The state winner will represent Wisconsin at the National Finals April
16-18 in Garden Grove, CA.

The Flambeau FFA has been very busy this year attending field trips,
National FFA Convention, and spreading some Christmas cheer.
FFA students baked over 12 dozen cookies on Dec. 15. They wanted to
bake cookies for the staff at the School District of Flambeau. Dec 16 they
enjoyed spreading some Christmas cheer and a thank you to the staff for
everything they do for them.
On Dec. 2, 18 students had an opportunity to see and learn about a state
of the art dairy facility called JTP Farm in Dorchester WI. Students witnessed robotic milkers, a robotic feed pusher and a calf milk pasteurizer.
Students were amazed that although it is a robotic farm there is still a lot
of work that goes into operating and managing the farm between the genetics, biosecurity, feed rations, and cow/calf comfort.

Students from the Flambeau FFA competed in the first annual Dairy Quiz
Bowl at Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College in Rice Lake on Dec 3.
They did an excellent job, as this was their first time competing in the
competition. They also got a one of the kind tour with Dr. Jeff Johnson,
Professor of Dairy Cattle at WITC, of the campus.
FFA students attended the National FFA Convention on Oct. 28-Nov 1
which included (pictured) Alec Cegler, Alyissa Jones, Mrs. Bernecker,
Ashley Nicholson and Alex Nicholson. They toured Fair Oaks Dairy, which
is the largest dairy in the United States milking over 30,000 cows. Members also toured Keenland Farm Horse Racing, Donamire Farms and Old
Friends Farm. Students got to see and pet some million-dollar race
horses. Seabiscuit, Secretariat and The Dreamer were filmed at Keenland
and Donamire Farms. Other highlights of the trip included Easton Corbin
and Justin Moore in concert, Worlds Toughest Rodeo and they got to hear
an amazing motivational speaker (Nick Vujicic who was born with no
hands or legs). This was an amazing trip filled with many learning highlights.

Sound Dimension would like to thank their gifted accompanist Ms. Charmaine Johnson and professional choreographer, Mrs. Lora-Jean Jones.
They would like to thank their parents and family members for their love
and support, and the administration and school board members of the
Flambeau School District, for without their help none of these performances would be possible.
Show Choir is an opportunity for students to take their performance skills
to the next level in a musical setting that is extremely exhilarating and entertaining. Competing Show Choirs are critiqued in areas such as vocal
intonation and projection, choreography intensity and facial presentation,
accompaniment support of vocals, transitions, over-all effectiveness of
show and much more.
I’m very happy to give the newly formed 7/8th Grade Show Choir this performing opportunity in the near future. Fortunately, the Prep Show Choir
and Sound Dimension both will be performing at District Solo & Ensemble
on March 7 in Cornell.

sPecial education
together We learn better:
inclusive schools benefit all chilDren
The journey to becoming an Inclusive School may be long and challenging at times, but ultimately this journey can strengthen a school community and
benefit all children. “Inclusion” does not simply mean the placement of students with disabilities in general education classes. This process must incorporate fundamental change in the way a school community supports and addresses the individual needs of each child. As such, effective models
of inclusive education not only benefit students with disabilities, but also create an environment in which every student, including those who do not
have disabilities, has the opportunity to flourish. Here are some ways in which inclusive educational practices build a school's capacity to educate all
learners effectively:
Differentiated instruction increases student engagement. One of the most
important principles of inclusive education is that no two learners are alike, and
so inclusive schools place great importance on creating opportunities for students
to learn and be assessed in a variety of ways. Teachers in inclusive schools therefore must consider a wide range of learning modalities (visual, auditory, kinesthetic, etc.) in designing instruction. Certainly this enhances the way in which
educators provide supports and accommodations for students with disabilities,
but it also diversifies the educational experience of all students.
academic supports help each student access the full curriculum. In this
age of accountability and high-stakes testing, it is important for educators to ensure that every student is addressing the appropriate standards and objectives
across the curriculum. As such, inclusive schools provide academic supports
(flexible pacing and grouping, reading and literacy specialists, tutoring, etc.) that
create a supportive environment for all learners. It is immediately clear how these
supports help students with disabilities and English Language Learners, but inclusive schools can also better challenge and engage gifted and talented learners
by building a more responsive learning environment.
ELEMENTARY INCLUSIVE CLASSROOM
behavioral supports help maintain a positive learning environment for
everyone. Another important factor in effective inclusive education is the implementation of consistent behavioral supports throughout the learning environment.
This consistency is essential for the success of students with emotional or behavioral disabilities in the general education environment, but school-wide behavioral supports also help to establish high expectations throughout the school
community as a whole.
respect for diversity creates a welcoming environment for all. Inclusive education for students with disabilities can only be successful when those students
feel that they are truly a part of the school community. This requires open and
honest discussion about difference, and an institutional respect for people of all
backgrounds and abilities. In inclusive schools, the establishment of such a climate benefits everyone by fostering an environment where students and their
families are valued for who they are.
JUNIOR HIGH INCLUSIVE CLASSROOM
inclusive practices make effective use of a school's resources. In the past,
special education often involved the segregation of students with disabilities for
the purpose of specialized instruction. Not only does that model of special education in a separate setting deprive students with disabilities of interaction with
their peers and full access to the curriculum, it can also involve duplicate systems
and resources that are costly for schools to maintain. Inclusive education can
make more efficient use of a school's resources by maximizing the availability of
staff and materials for all students.

nurse’s notes
This 2009 photograph captured a sneeze in progress, revealing the plume of salivary droplets as they are expelled in a large
cone-shaped array from this man’s open mouth, thereby, dramatically illustrating the reason one needs to cover his/her mouth
when coughing, or sneezing, in order to protect others from germ exposure.
hoW germs spreaD?
Illnesses like the flu (influenza) and colds are caused by viruses that infect the nose, throat, and lungs. The flu and colds
usually spread from person to person when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
hoW to help stop the spreaD of germs?
Take care to:
- Cover your mouth and nose when you sneeze or cough
- Clean your hands often
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth
- Stay home when you are sick and check with a health care provider when needed
- Practice other good health habits.

All scholarships are now posted on the school website! Check often, as
they will be updated frequently. To find the scholarship page follow the
directions below:
1. go to: www.flambeau.k12.wi.us
2. click on the Flambeau High School tab at the top
3. click on the counseling bullet on the right side
4. click on the Scholarships bullet on the right side
Now is the time to schedule a parent/student post-high school planning
conference with Mrs. Zimmer. Please call or email to schedule a date and
time. This is a great way to get your soon-to-be senior on track.
Juniors should begin previewing college campuses before returning to
school in the Fall of 2015. This can be done online or in person, but visiting
in person is the best way to get a feel for the campus to see if it could be
a good fit. Visiting two or three campuses is recommended so that students have back-up plans.
Applications for colleges will open right away in September, so there is
not much time when school resumes in the Fall to complete these tasks.
Also continue to hunt for scholarships (FREE MONEY!) on sites such as:
www.fastweb.com and www.collegeXpress.com. If you are a senior who
is already accepted at a college or technical school, be sure to check the
website of that institution to find possible scholarship opportunities available.

If you are a parent of a student going on to a post-secondary school, you
will need to complete the FAFSA. Completing the FAFSA allows you to
see what types of grants, loans, and work- study opportunities are available. Never assume you will not qualify — fill out the application and see
what your options are!
Click on the FAFSA tab to be directly linked to the FAFSA site.
Continued planning for coursework each school year is so extremely important to your students’ success either in their post-secondary education,
the work force, or the military. Please feel free to either call or stop by the
guidance office throughout the year with any questions or concerns you
may have concerning your student. There are wonderful opportunities out
there and we want our students to know all of their options!
What are the Different Ways
to pay for college?
Furthering your education after high school is such a good investment.
Studies have found that many families overestimate the cost of college.
Some are scared off by the complexity of financial aid forms. In reality,
not going to college can be more expensive than going to college. Here
are some options.
1. GRANTS: FREE MONEY that does NOT need to be repaid.
2. SCHOLARSHIPS: FREE MONEY that can come from many different
sources.
3. WORK STUDY/STUDENT EMPLOYMENT: Can help cover day-to-day
expenses and beyond.
4. FEDERAL STUDENT LOANS: Loans obtained through FAFSA (more
to come in the next newsletter). These should be the first student loans
you consider.
5. PARENT PLUS LOANS AND PRIVATE STUDENT LOANS: You may
want to consider these to supplement your educational costs.

March 2nd - March 6th is National School Breakfast Week. Here are just a few reasons to eat school breakfast:
A. It is free for all students in grades pre-k through 8. High School only pays $1.55 for a meal.
B. We offer fruit and fruit juice daily plus fat-free and low-fat milk and whole grain products.
C. Studies show that students that eat breakfast have improved attendance and decreased tardiness. Better attention and memory. Also
higher scores on standardized tests.
Flambeau school serves an average of 350 to 420 students at breakfast time daily. That is quite an impressive number for breakfast. We are
happy to have such an awesome student body that realizes the importance of this meal!
As odd as it may seem, spring will soon be here. I hope everyone has a Happy Valentines Day and a great Easter/Spring break.

transPortation
We want to THANK OUR PARENTS for making a special effort to write their transportation changes in a note to
send to school with their child, and when that is NOT possible, to call the main office at school BEFORE 2:00 PM.
Please remember to include complete information on your note, including the address of the student drop site.
This process is helping us in our endeavor to improve learning by having fewer classroom disruptions
and deliver students safely where they need to go at the end of the day.
Also, a quick reminder of our Grades 4YK-1 face-to-face bussing procedure. All students in Grades 4YK-1
who do not have an older sibling getting off the bus with them, must have an adult visible to the driver at the drop-off location.
If an adult is NOT visible, the student will be returned to school and the parent/guardian will need to pick him/her up.
these policies help us keep our students safe, which is our number one priority!
thank you for your assistance in this endeavor!
activity route 2014-2015 school year
Due to the need for only one bus to make village drops for after school activities we will be staggering the direction of the route on a
weekly basis. Times are as close as I can estimate for now but might vary some if there is no need to go to a certain village because no one rode. Attendance and use is the key and the purpose of the activity route.

If there is no attendance for that village you can see how it would change drop off times.

youth basKetball program
For the past 7 years Malinda Amidon and Mandy Bratanich have been
building a great youth basketball program. Practices start the last week
in September on Saturday mornings. Any students boys/girls in 3rd and
4th grades are welcome to attend and the practice is from 8:00 to 9:30.
We work on the basic skills of the game: dribbling, passing, shooting, and
defense. We have been lucky enough to get enough girls to participate
to be able to enter them in some small tournaments. We also work with
5th-8th girls through the year. We have a traveling team at each grade
level and each grade is entered in 4 tournaments each year. It has been
a blast getting to know all of the young ladies and watching them learn
and understand the game.

Mr. Podgornik’s Physical Education
classes will be holding their Annual
JUMP ROPE FOR HEART event on
February 13, 2015 from 8:45 a.m.
until 11:00 a.m.
The students in grades K-6 will be
jumping to help the fight against
heart disease. Promoting physically
active lifestyles is more important
than ever. Jump Rope for Heart
helps students become involved in
community service while they are
learning how their bodies work and
how we take care of them. Jump
Rope for Heart is a great way to
keep students moving and helping others at the same time.
Once again we will hold our jump rope competitions such as: forward jump, backward
jump, speed jump and ball jump. Top 3 in each event will receive a certificate and
medal to recognize their accomplishments.
Jump Rope for Heart is co-sponsored by the American Heart Association and the
American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance.
Community members, families, parents and grandparents are welcome to participate in
our morning activities. More information will be sent home in February.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Jeff Podgornik at
715-532-5559 ext. 327.
Did you know…
• A heart attack occurs about every 20 seconds with a heart attack death about
every minute.
• Studies show the most common time for a heart attack to occur is Monday
morning. Saturday morning ranks second. Another common time is during the
early morning hours, when blood platelets are stickier.
• 60% of women erroneously listed cancer as the leading cause of death among
women. Deaths from all cancers in the USA are half as common as death from
cardiovascular disease.
• More than 233,000 women die annually from cardiovascular disease.
• About 50% of deaths occur within one hour of the heart attack – outside the
hospital.
