School District News
From the Desk of the District Administrator
By Kevin D. Sipple
Leading Today ... Developing Excellence for Tomorrow
•
Congratulations to the Class of 2016. We wish you all the best going forward. We are very proud of you and your
accomplishments. Congratulations to the families of these students.
•
Congratulations to Timothy Sempf and Jeremy Mittlestadt on their election to the Boyceville Community School District
Board of Education. Tim and Jeremy will serve three year terms.
•
We want to thank Bob Bird for his service to our school district. Bob is retiring from his school bus driving position at
the end of this school year. Congratulations Bob on your retirement!
•
Our school district will continue to appeal for more substitute employees. We need substitutes in all work areas.
Specifically, our high demand is in custodians, food service, and bus drivers. Please feel free to contact the district
office should you be interested in applying for substitute positions within the school district.
• We do have our first propane fueled bus on a route this spring. The bus has a green colored bird type symbol across the
top as opposed to black for diesel. We purchased the bus with the help from a grant through the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources
and the Environmental Protection Agency. To be eligible for the $23,241.25 grant to assist in the purchase of the bus, we needed to take one of
our older diesel buses out of our fleet in exchange for the more environmentally friendly propane fueled bus. To date, we like the performance
of the propane fueled bus.
•
Educator Appreciation Week was the week of May 2-6. Our local churches prepared lunch for our school district staff on Wednesday May 4th. It
was wonderful to have our faith community honor our school staff by serving lunch. Thank you so much to all whom helped with this event.
•
We are completing our first school year with the Boyceville Weekend Meal Program. The program provided meals to student homes in grades
PK-6 that needed a little extra food for the long weekend. This was a joint effort with the school district, the local churches and WestCap. I think
this new program was a huge success and I want to thank everyone who helped support this program. We do plan to continue this program in
the 2016-2017 school year.
•
The 2015-2016 school year is nearing the end. I would like to thank our students, staff, parents, and community for helping us make this a
successful school year. Have a safe summer break and we will see you back in school on September 1.
Go Bulldogs!

“The first year of the Boyceville Weekend
Meal Program was very well appreciated by
participating families of the Boyceville School
District.”
Thanks to the generosity and collaboration of efforts from of all
of the area churches; faculty and staff members of the Boyceville
School District and West CAP we were able to serve on average 38
households per week consisting of approximately 155 individuals.
Each family received anywhere from 6-8 full sized food items and/or
gift cards for the local grocery store in Glenwood City. The bags
weigh roughly 7 pounds. The gift cards were for milk, eggs, and bread
and during the holidays they were given a card to buy something
extra like a ham or turkey if needed. Families that are eligible for
free or reduced lunches are automatically qualified for this program.
We will once again offer this program next fall. Please Contact Judy
Humpal for more details. This program is completely dependent
upon local donations of cash to purchase food items and the gifts
and talents of area church members that sewed the bags for the
program. If you would like to contribute to this program you
can send a check made out to West CAP, Inc in care of the
Boyceville Weekend Meal Program to P.O. Box 308 Glenwood
City, WI 54013 or just drop off at the West CAP office at 823
Main Street in Boyceville. This program would not be possible
without the wonderful collaborative efforts of all involved.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month
By Bonnie Barker, Director of Special Education/School Psychologist
These Tools are Accessible on
Every Page!
May is Mental Health Awareness Month. It was started 67 years ago to help raise awareness about mental health conditions and
the importance of good mental health for everyone. Usually when mental illnesses or disorders are talked about, the language that
is used is very clinical and impersonal. These words are important in the diagnosis of mental illness but don’t “do justice” to what
life with a mental illness feels like. This year’s theme for May is Mental Health Month is “Life With a Mental Illness.” It is a call
to action to share what life with a mental illness feels like to someone going through it. “Life With a Mental Illness is meant to
help remove the shame and stigma of speaking out, so that more people can be comfortable coming out of the shadows and seeking
the help they need. Mental Health America is encouraging people to speak up about how it feels to live with a mental illness by
tagging social media posts with #mentalillnessfeelslike . Posting with this hashtag is a way to speak up, to share your point of view
with people who may be struggling to explain what they are going through—and help others figure out if they too are showing
signs of a mental illness. For more information please see www.mentalhealthamerica.net .
Mental Health is important in the school setting also. The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction has developed the Wisconsin School Mental
Health Framework (December, 2015) to assist schools in developing comprehensive school mental health systems. According to this framework
“School mental health addresses all aspects of social-emotional development of school-age children including wellness, mental illness, substance
abuse, and effects of adverse childhood experiences.” The Boyceville Community School District will be considering how the framework can be
used to address the mental health care needs of our students.

Mental illness is common and widespread. According to “Mental Health America of Wisconsin” there is an estimated 54 million Americans who
suffer from some form of mental disorder in a given year. A mental illness is a disease that causes mild to severe disturbances in thought and/or
behavior. There are more than 200 classified forms of mental illness. Some of the more common disorders are depression, bipolar disorder,
dementia, schizophrenia and anxiety disorders. Below are warning signs and symptoms that we should all be aware of. It is especially important
to pay attention to sudden changes in thoughts and behaviors. Also, keep in mind that the onset of several of the symptoms below, and not just any
one change, indicates a problem that should be assessed by a medical profession. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding mental
health or if you need additional resources.

Tiffany Creek Elementary News
Year in Review
It is hard to believe the school year is almost over. We have completed a tremendous amount of work, but still have more to
do. Before we can finish all of the planning for the next school year, we need to reflect back on what has taken place this year.
In 2015-16 we worked on the following items:
•
•
Used data days to share and evaluate assessments and organize instructional goals for all students.
Hosted three school visits as a requirement for earning a Wisconsin Spotlight Schools grant. This grant went towards funding
an additional interventionist and purchasing Renaissance software.
• Had Ronald McDonald visit us to see the 1 million pop tabs we have collected over the past several years.
• Updated our Everyday Math curriculum.
• Created a PAW shop for our 4-6 students who earn PAW prints with their good behavior.
• Had many “Be the Best BULLDOG!” celebrations throughout the school year.
• Continued work on the Common Core State Standards in English/language arts and math and administered the new FORWARD 3-8
Exam.
• Wednesday Wellness Walks continue to be a huge success with our students. The extra time outside in the morning on Wednesdays gives staff
members an opportunity to collaborate and plan future interventions for our students. Students earn prizes for meeting mileage benchmarks.
This year we had numerous students reach 100 miles with some even going over 150 miles!!
• I would like to thank all of the people who gave up their time to come help our students and volunteer in classrooms. Your time and efforts
are valuable to the education of our students.
I hope you all have a great summer! Have fun, be safe, and enjoy all the family time you can.

3rd Grade Venture as Authors
Two years ago Paula
Smith, a retired School
Psychologist
from
Menomonie and Debra
Bell, a teacher from
Boyceville,
decided
to team up and teach a
health unit in her class.
The health curriculum,
“Health
Realization/
Resiliency” was an
established part of the
Boyceville Schools third
grade curriculum. Paula
and Deb had met in the Menomonie/Boyceville Advanced Health
Realization group in Menomonie. They had been in this group for twenty
years. We had taught health realization/resilience curriculum in the past
but our goal was to update curriculum, plan and implement a nine week
curriculum. Then the following year, with administrative approval,
they taught a half hour lesson each week to continue with their health
realization. An important part of this was to implement/incorporate this
as a foundation for our PBIS program in place in our school.
A pretest was given before we started and each year we continued to teach
the principles of health realization and resiliency. As we went through
the second year, we decided we needed to find out what the students had
really learned. Studenttreasures.org offered the opportunity for classes
to write a book and they would publish their book for them. The idea
of the “ ABC’s of our Healthy Core” was born. We came up with the
A is for Apple, B is for Breathing, C is for calm, etc. The students
then had to explain the heading and draw a picture describing it. What
happened next took our breath away. The students did an awesome
job and proved to us that they truly understood the three principles of
Health Realization. The results prove that our students learned how to
use the principles in their lives and share those principles with others.
The next problem we had was the cost of the book to purchase. We
wanted each child to receive a book but we knew not everyone could
afford them. Paula mentioned our project to the Dunn County Partners
for Resilience and one of the members of this group, a nurse, Jo Rucker,
#BulldogPrideBCSD
was so moved that she wrote out a check so that each child could receive
that book. We were so grateful to her for the opportunity for our students.
Every student got a book to keep to remind them of all they learned. An
important piece is to share this knowledge with others and now they
have the book to do that with the one they wrote.

Second Grade Junior Achievement
Lesson in Action
These students are learning about our community. The lesson involved
producing donuts for a factory. Some partnerships chose the assembly
line method; other partnerships chose to make each doughnut separately.
It was quickly discovered that the assembly line produced several
more tasty paper donuts. This interactive lesson was taught by parent
volunteer, Mr. Brad Stevens.
5th Grade Participates in Earth Day
The 5th graders picked up trash around Tiffany Creek Elementary in the morning (we picked up over 50 gallons of trash).
Then in the afternoon we had three stations the students traveled through. We had a “river race” station, where the students had to work in
teams to get a full cup of water through PVC pipe pieces. Another station was students in the ABC garden drawing items that were close, near
and far away. The last station the students worked together to use their limited resources to close the “pit of lava”, this station was teaching
teamwork and communication.

Family Fun Night A Rousing Success!!
On Monday April 25th families gathered at TCE to eat together and play together. Parents also learned about the federally funded Title I
program and were able to give feedback to school staff through a survey. All TCE families received a paper copy of this survey in their child’s
backpack and we hope you will fill it out and give us some feedback so we can make your family’s experience at TCE the best it can be.
Ms Pember, a respected and conscientious teacher
regarding fire and burn safety, had entered the “Fire &
Burn Prevention Teacher Essay Contest” in fall 2015.
The contest was open to 4th through 7th grade teachers throughout the
State of Wisconsin. This year there are six essay winners.
The teacher essay described how she incorporated fire safety lessons
about smoke alarsm in the building of model homes to learn about
electricity. They also drew their bedrooms to scale to demonstrate exit
strategies and did a fire escape drill with local firefighters.
Congratulations to teacher, Coleen Pember.
Hannah Dunn and Sarah Stoveren were the 4th grade classroom winners
of the 2015-16 WI Farm Bureau Ag in Classroom writing contest for
Tiffany Creek Elementary School. Sarah Stoveren’s essay went on to
the county level. Congratulations to both winners.
The topic was on maple syrup in WI, and Mr. and Mrs. Retz visited with
the 4th graders about their family tradition of gathering maple syrup in
the spring to give the students some background knowledge.
Alpha Tau Annual
Writing Contest Winner
Ella Weber wrote a story for the Alpha Tau
Annual Writing contest. Ella’s story was a
first place winner for 4th grade. Her story
will go the state level where it will be
judged with others from around WI. Great
job Ella!
Third Grade Field Trips
Third grade went on a field trip to Crystal Cave on April 20th. They
learned about rock formations, bats, and the cave itself. After the visit
to the cave, they stopped for lunch at Wakanda Park. Then they were
whisked away to the Mabel Tainter Theater. At the theater they were
treated to a tour of one of the top 15 most beautiful theaters in the
world! Many had never been there before. We learned the history of
the family that built the theater and about the town of Menomonie. It
was a wonderful day.
A Blast at Madtown!

The 4th graders geared up for their annual Madison field trip. We departed from TCE on May 3rd to visit our State Capitol in
Madison, WI. Their adventure started at 7:30 am as a coach bus took them to Vilas Zoo for lunch, our State Capitol for a tour
and then on a scavenger hunt at the Wisconsin Veteran’s Museum. The TCE 4th grade students enjoyed this fun-filled day. A

Graduation 1996 ….. 2016 …. 2036
As we prepare for the graduation of the class of 2016 we forget how different life was when this year’s class entered the world
(1996 or 1997) nor can we quite imagine what the world will look like for the next generation of high school graduates. One of the
major differences we have all experienced, and will continue to experience, the constant and rapid changes in technology. We’ve
gone from big clunky expensive devices to things that most young people own and interact with all the time today. Imagine one of
today’s graduates transporting back to the 1990’s where the average person did not have the Internet, email, smart phones, search
engines, social networking, Sony PlayStation, Apple iPods, or downloadable anything. Music, movies, and information came on
CDs, cassettes, VHS, in cartridges, or in printed form. By the same token waking up in 2036 we will be wondering how we ever
survived without driverless cars, video surfaces, chip based products, 3-D printed clothing, etc……. Just a few of the changes
look something like this (**taken from Futurist Thomas Frey)

Spanish Club Student Attend Camp
In 2034 students will still attend school, but rather than travel from class to class and subject to subject, they will access virtual and on-campus
coaches (teachers) who will help each student move at their own pace, according to their own needs. They will connect with students from across
the world as they work to achieve competency-based real-world tasks to prepare them for careers as drone engineers, driverless car technicians, 3D
print designers, and data analysts. It is into this world we send the graduates of 2016, hopefully prepared to grapple with the ever changing world
and the challenge, much like their parents, of raising their family in a technological world we can hardly imagine.
It was an exhausting weekend, but definitely worth the five hour drive
to Bemidji.

Karlene Berry, School Counselor Grades 7-12
My family name was Regla Torres. Regla Torres is a Cuban volleyball
player who has won three gold medals in the Olympics.
3. What cabin were you in? What did you learn about that place?
The cabin that I was in was Pinar del Río. Pinar del Río is a Cuban city
and a Cuban province.
4. What activities did you choose and why? Which activities did you
like and not like?
The weekend of April 7-10, two Spanish Club students had the
opportunity to attend Concordia Language Villages Spanish Immersion
Camp in Bemidji, MN. There are 15 different language camps total,
including: Spanish, German, French, Swedish, and Arabic. The Spanish
camp name is El Lago del Bosque (Lake of the Woods). The layout and
buildings in the camp were modeled after a city in a Spanish speaking
country. This year’s theme is ¡Arriba Cuba! and students learned all
about Cuban history, culture, language, etc.
Mark Timper and Shawna Gove attended the Spanish camp and stayed
in houses (cabins) with students from other schools. Each cabin had a
counselor and a chaperone. Almost all the counselors were native Spanish
speakers, from Spanish speaking countries and most were students at
Concordia University. Chaperones were teachers and parents from all
the schools attending the camp. There were schools from Minnesota,
Wisconsin and Kansas who attended the Village Weekend.
Students participated in various required activities, such as singing and
dancing, and they were also able to choose elective activities based on
their interests. Everyone at the camp was divided into “families” and
had several interfamily competitions during certain activities. Students
exchanged their money for pesos so they could purchase imported items,
T-shirts, candy, etc. from the Tienda (store) and the Dulcería (Candy
shop). Saturday night, there was a Discoteca, where the camp counselors
lead the students in traditional dances they had learned throughout the
weekend. Mark and Shawna volunteered to participate in 100% Español.
They were challenged to speak only Spanish for a given period of time.
Both students completed the challenge and won prizes as a result.
The activities that I chose were drama, barro cocido (ceramics), GPS,
and crocodilo (crocodiles). I did not have an activity that I did not enjoy
because they were all fun, but my favorite activity was crocodilo because
I got to make a crocodile.
5. Did you like the food and why? What was your favorite and why?
What was your least favorite and why?
The food was simply delicious. My favorite food was the Ropa Vieja
which was a meat dish made out of stewed beef and vegetables. I liked
this dish because it had many flavors and it was just really good. My
least favorite dish was probably the Pulpeta which is similar to meatloaf.
The reason that I didn’t like the Pulpeta is that it had a hard-boiled egg
in the middle of it which was just a strange flavor.
6. In general, what was your favorite part of the weekend and why?
My most favorite part of the weekend was when we got to visit the
Dulcería (candy store) because they had many Spanish candies and
chocolates which tasted really good.
7. In general, what was your least favorite part of the weekend and
why?
My least favorite part of the weekend is when we had to sing. I really
don’t enjoy singing nor am I good at it so that’s why I didn’t like it.
8. What are 5 things you learned about Cuba at the camp?
I learned all about Cuban history starting from when Christopher
#BulldogPrideBCSD
Spanish Club article continued...
Columbus first found Cuba to Raul Castro becoming the president of
Cuba. I also learned all about the Cuban cuisine and different foods that
Cuba has. Another thing that I learned about Cuba was Cuban culture
and interesting facts like population, national bird, etc. Cuban dancing
was another thing that I learned this weekend. I also learned about many
famous Cubans such as Gloria Estefan, Regla Torres, and Andy Garcia.
9. Would you go again and why?
I would definitely go again. I really had a great experience at this camp.
I also learned a lot of Spanish and I also made some new friends.
10. Would you recommend the cam to others and why?
Meeting new people because I like making new friends.
7. In general, what was your least favorite part of the weekend and
why?
My least favorite part of the camp was how cold it was.
8. What are 5 things you learned about Cuba at the camp?
Under communist rule and known for white sand beaches. There 2 types
of pesos and a large population. The capital is La Habana.
9. Would you go again and why?
Yes, I would recommend this camp to other people. You can learn a lot
about Spanish culture in a weekend and you also get to try great food, do Yes, because it was such a good experience.
fun activities, and meet new friends.

What was your least favorite and why?
I loved the food there and the rice with cheese [Arroz Imperial] was my
favorite. My least favorite was the meatloaf [Pulpitos] at the end.
6. In general, what was your favorite part of the weekend and why?
As part of the accounting grant, students were able to attend a Brewer’s
game, tour Sendik’s home office and warehouse as well as one of their
stores, speak with a manager at JC Penney regarding careers, and take
a tour of Miller Park. We had 2 1/2 very busy days learning about

Laws of Motion!
During 3rd Quarter this year students in Mrs. Peterson’s Physical Science class were learning about Newton’s Laws of Motion.
One of their lab experiments challenged the students to build a car made from “junk” materials that could be powered only by a
balloon. The car could not be built out of items that were meant to be toy car parts, instead items like bottle caps, CD’s, straws,
Kleenex boxes, and drawer handles were used as car parts. The car had to travel at least 5 meters, and then students collected
data to calculate speed and discuss the Laws of Motion in their reports. Students also competed for 3 prize categories: longest
distance, highest speed, and best design. In the first hour class winners for highest speed was Levi Watson, furthest distance
Ty Dicks & Gage Brown, and best design were and in the second hour class Brock Schlough & Jaden Reismer had the furthest
distance, Eli Swanson had the fastest speed, and Dusty Wittmer & Jered Bartos has the best design.
Students Place in the Top 10 Two
years in a row
Students in Accounting I and II participated in the Junior Achievement,
Titan Program from December through March with mentor, Sam
Gearing, of State Farm Insurance, in Menomonie. Sam volunteered in
Ms. Swanson’s classroom to prepare the class to compete in JA Titan.
Titan challenges students to apply their knowledge of business as they
compete online in the highly competitive industry of the fictional HoloGenerator.
Students enter decisions about price, production, marketing, capital
investment, and research and development. The impact of their decisions
will lead to the success or failure of each Holo-Generator company. The
business strategy tournament uses the Junior Achievement program,
“JA Titan” to allow students to compete against one another as CEOs
of simulated companies. Players plan and execute executive decisions
of a fictional company’s strategy: price, production, marketing, capital
investment, research & development, and charitable giving. An index
then ranks each company’s performance to determine the best team.
The program culminated in the choosing of two teams who would
represent Boyceville at the annual Titan Challenge in March at CVTC.
There were over 30 teams from northwest Wisconsin who competed in
the challenge.
Boyceville Team 2: Afton Fischer, Andrew Marshall, and Jenna Beyrer
Thank you to the school district and administration for supporting our
students. Both teams placed in the top 10 in the northwest district.
Boyceville Team 1 earned a 2nd place in the consolation round.
Boyceville Team 2 took 6th place overall, with a 1st place win in their
bracket. These students were awarded VISA gift cards for their effort.

VISUAL ARTS COMPETITION
Boyceville Junior Achievement Team Places 2nd
The Visual Arts Classic team had another wonderful year. We took
second in our region for overall points...just beat out by last years state
winners! Here are the regional and state individual results.
In March, two teams from Ms. Swanson’s Accounting classes competed in the Junior Achievement JA Titan competition. Along with the
Junior Achievement program, “JA Titan” that allows students to compete against one another as CEOs of simulated companies, students were
also paired with another team from a different school during their lunch hour. At this time, they were to create a 30-second public service
announcement (PSA) promoting Junior Achievement.
Boyceville Team 2, consisting of Jenna Beyrer, Afton Fischer, and Andrew Marshall, were paired with a team from Menomonie high school.
This team placed second in this competition. Their prize was to tour Mid-West Family Broadcasting in Altoona. Mid-West hosts stations such
as WAXX, I-94, The X, WAYY, and Oldies 115.
Students and Ms. Swanson travelled to Altoona on Wednesday, April
13, where they met up with the Menomonie team. They were able to
sit in on a live broadcast with Terry West, tour the studio, and work
with Luke Hoffman (aka Luke Bryan), as well as meet and talk with
John Murphy, program director.
John Murphy talked to the students about careers and gave them
general advice that can be applied to all careers:
Nicole Drinkman and Abi Erickson completing their on site projects in the
Painting category.

Congratulations to 8th Grader Austen
Benson who has passed over 120
Accelerated Math Objectives this year.
Students celebrated “Under the Moonlight” on Saturday,
April 30, in the gymatorium. The parents and juniors met
from December through April to design and construct the
props. They worked together to brainstorm ideas, pick out
and make decorations, talk about who’s bringing what,
who has the food covered, who will build and who will be
“in charge”. The props included the Central Park gateway
to the gym, a large bridge that crossed over a lake, moons,
stars, and clouds galore, lots of lanterns and lamp posts.
Then that magical night when the junior class, their dates,
and members of the high school come together in the
gymatorium for a night of fun. Parents, grandparents and
community members celebrate their children, ooh and aah
over the gowns and decorations during Grand March. They
dance the night away, talk with their friends, “gamble” with
money that was designed by students, and then wait for
the raffle and drawings. The Boyceville community is very
generous and it shows as we plan for prom. They donate
money to help purchase supplies, furnish gift cards and
gift certificates. This year, students had the opportunity
to win nearly $2500 in gift cards and prizes due to their
generosity.
Then the “crowning” moment, when the court walked
over the bridge and anticipate who will be this year’s king
Madysn Riek, Erica Sempf, Hannah Guy, Tori Kostman, Queen Morgan Kuhn, King James
and queen. Our court was Hannah Guy escorted by James

Perfect For
Everybody and every body! Each Zumba® class
is designed to bring people together to sweat it
on.
How It Works
We take the "work" out of workout, by mixing
low-intensity and high-intensity moves for an
interval-style, calorie-burning dance fitness
party. Once the Latin and World rhythms take
over, you'll see why Zumba® Fitness classes
are often called exercise in disguise. Super effective? Check. Super fun? Check and check.
Benefits
A total workout, combining all elements of fitness – cardio, muscle conditioning, balance
and flexibility, boosted energy and a serious
dose of awesome each time you leave class.

Who is eligible? Senior citizens age 62 or older that own a home and reside within the boundaries of the
Boyceville Community School District are eligible.
How much is the tax credit? In exchange for hours of participation, qualifying applicants will earn a maximum
rogram property tax credit of $429.00 (not to exceed 59 hours @ $7.25 per hour).
Program benefits: Program benefits extend beyond property tax relief for the senior citizens – to students, school
staff and into the community. In addition to tax relief, participants will have the opportunity to share their talents, gain an intergenerational
experience and make a difference in the lives of our students. Students will gain an appreciation for the valuable contributions that senior
citizens make to the community. They will also have a chance to establish a relationship with a positive role model, providing them with
increased social and emotional support. Above and beyond another set of hands, teachers will appreciate the opportunity to demonstrate the
many positive things that are happening in our schools on a day-to-day basis.
What is expected of a STEP participant? STEP positions may be short-term or long-term based on need. Participants might tutor students
during the school day or in after-school programs, read to or with a child, help prepare special projects, assist with computers or chaperone field
trips. The list is endless based on the skills and talents of the participants.
I’m interested, how can I get started? The first step is to complete a STEP application. The application is available:
• On the School District Web site under the Community Education Tab
• In the School District Office
If you have a question or would like to request a form, please contact Alesha Kersten at 715-643-3647. Staff members are asked to identify
areas where they need help and we will then match the participants based on life skills and talent. All applications should be returned to Alesha
Kersten, Boyceville Community School District, 1003 Tiffany St, Boyceville, WI 54725.

If summer goes too quickly for you, this is an essential recipe to
help you make the most of every moment. Easy and so-delicious,
it adds “pop” into warm-weather dining and will create numerous
choices for “change-up” in future meals —all from one session of
firing up the grill!
Your imagination and knowledge of your family’s preferences
is your only limit, so pay special attention to suggestions
interspersed throughout the recipe:
Ingredients:
• Boneless chicken breasts, an amount in excess of what your
family would enjoy for one meal. Keep in mind you will be
slicing the cooked meat into strips and dispersing into other
ingredients, which should easily provide enough meat for
another meal (or meals) coming.
• Flour tortillas, store-purchased or homemade, small to
medium sized.
• Various garnishes, according to your family’s likes, a few or
all, from this list: Alfalfa sprouts, shredded lettuce, chopped
fresh spinach leaves, fresh snipped cilantro, parsley or basil,
sliced tomato, sliced ripe avocado, sliced crisp radish, sliced
fresh mushrooms, cucumber rounds.
Every Thursday from 10:00 a.m. - 12:30 a.m.

JOIN ANYTIME!
Cub Scouts Teaches Your Son:
• Confidence, through recognition by adults
• Belonging, by building friendships with other boys at his school
• The value of family, by fostering quality family time for boys and their adult
partners
• Social Skills, through interacting with other youth and adults
• Good decision making, by instilling values of helping others
• About his community, by participating in field trips and other activities
For more information, contact Rich Madison at 715-702-2198, richard231@
centurytlink.net
Directions: Wash, prepare, cover, and refrigerate (on one plate for
simpler cleanup) the garnishes as meat is grilling. Pre-marinade
or season the meat with your favorite spices and herbs. Garlic,
soy sauce and olive oil is a reliable base to please many palates,
but the idea is go with what you know your family will love.
Creativity or realism—or a blend of both—is entirely up to you.
Girl Scouts
Slow grill to infuse smokiness, and when properly cooked
through, cool and slice onto strips.
For more information, contact Renee Erickson, 920-955-3428, rerickson@gsnwgl.
org
Arrange across one side of a warmed tortilla a generous
combination of the garnishes, allowing family members to choose
what they like and leave out what they don’t. Layer strips of the
grilled chicken, either warm or chilled, over the bed of greens. It
is fine to overfill the one side; the fold is best eaten with a fork,
so an overabundance of the salad is actually desired. Drizzle a
favorite salad dressing over all, and fold the bare side of tortilla
over the greens. Serve immediately, with a simple cup of soup,
homemade or purchased, prepared ahead.
Dunn County 4-H, Hay River Helpers
It’s that easy! To supply variations for future meals, you may
refrigerate or freeze leftover chicken to use another time. Grilled
chicken strips go great mingled with warmed Mexican beans
and/or Mexican rice, and a favorite cheese. Just brush a skillet
with olive oil and momentarily grill a pre-filled tortilla, both sides,
till golden brown. Slice into wedges and garnish with shredded
lettuce, guacamole or sour cream, salsa and/or diced tomatoes.
If preferred, grilled pork or beef works just as wonderfully for
these recipes and suggestions. Fresh fruit salads or cold chilled
soups are great accompaniments too, and make for a…..Very
happy summer to you!!
Be bright. Be silly. Be curious. Be strong.
