to meet our children’s changing educational
needs.

students of the Baraboo School District.

My mother, Irma Teelin, always believed in
developing appreciation for the arts at the earliest
possible age. She strongly believed that children
were better citizens and added value to society by
active participation in music, theatre, forensics,
and clubs which emphasized charitable work.
Although athletics help in child development
and receive recognition as well as funding, child
development in the arts potentially has a broader
audience for participation and fulfillment.
