Members of the Wauzeka-Steuben freshman class experienced history
firsthand. A group of 22 students and 10 adults traveled to Washington, D.C.
and the surrounding area this past March, 15-20. The journey began with a
visit to the first successful English colony in the Americas, Jamestown and
Yorktown Victory Center, the sight of the final battle of the American
Revolutionary War.
Inside our nation’s capital the students visited the Capitol Building where
half of the group was fortunate enough to meet with U.S. House of
Representatives member Ron Kind and the other half met with Senator
Tammy Baldwin inside their respective offices. Students had a unique
opportunity to tour inside the home of our president, the White House.
Other highlights inside D.C. were Ford’s Theatre, the National Mall which
includes the Lincoln Memorial, World War II Memorial, Vietnam Memorial,
Martin Luther King Memorial, and the FDR Memorial, both during the day
and a special nighttime visit. Many on the trip enjoyed their time at the
Smithsonian Air and Space and the American History Museums. Arlington
National Cemetery provided a humbling experience, as all were able to
witness the changing of the guard ceremony, at the Tomb of the Unknown
Soldier, as well as viewing the eternal flame at the gravesite of President
Kennedy.
In addition to the many sights inside Washington, D.C., students were
exposed to the homes of two of our founding fathers, George Washington’s
Mount Vernon and Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello. The final stop of the trip
was to Gettysburg Battlefield National Park.
After returning home from this trip, students completed a reflective travel
journal which included a summary of daily activities, pictures, and their
opinions on the best parts of the trip.
On behalf of the students who attended this year’s trip, we would like to
thank the community for your continuing support in fundraising for this
important event. The students had a wonderful time and we could not have
done this without the backing of the entire Wauzeka-Steuben community.

Kramer Advances to State in Wrestling
Congratulations to 5th grader, Luke Kramer, who is
on the Prairie/Wauzeka Youth Wrestling Team for
making it to state. Kramer competed on March 19th
at the Westby Regional Wrestling Tournament and
earned a 2nd place spot to advance him to the state
competition held only a week later at the Alliant
Center in Madison, WI. Many blood, sweat and
tears have been shared over the last 4 years to get
Luke to this position. He represented the
community well by placing 9th overall, coming up
short with a loss of only 2 points in his last match.
Wrestling builds character, perseverance and the
ability to take ownership of your wins and losses with
dignity. A big thanks to those that supported the
youth wrestling program this year and for all the
young members who participated. Good job Luke
for a great season.
Luke Kramer finished

Wauzeka-Steuben High School Students visit John Deere Works, in Dubuque IA.
-Mr. Gillitzer & Mr. KuckoOn Wednesday, April 6th, about 35 WauzekaSteuben High School Ag. & Tech Ed. students and
5 teachers & parents-chaperones took a field trip
to John Deere Works, in Dubuque IA. The tour is
taken by riding on trolley cars pulled by a small
utility tractor or gator. Each trolley could seat 12
people comfortably. Areas toured were; manual &
automated welding, manual & automated plasma
cutting, automated laser cutting, research &
design, maintenance, testing, automated prime &
painting, assembly line production, foundry,
quality control, and safety.
The John Deere Dubuque Works factory was
opened in 1947. In 1837 a man named John Deere
started a company with a revolutionary plow
fashioned from a broken sawmill blade. This
humble start would go on to help America—and
the rest of the world—grow for nearly two
centuries. In 1956 after 119 years as an
agricultural equipment company, Deere &
Company formed the Industrial Equipment
Division (later named the Construction & Forestry
Division) as a separate entity from the farm
machinery business. An investment of $15
million—including $2.4 million for manufacturing
facilities—was authorized for the industrial
program. In 1957 fifteen John Deere industrial
tractors made their Chicago Road Show debut at
the International Amphitheater. In 1958 a
milestone in design engineering was achieved with
the development of the first all-hydraulic
bulldozer, the Model “64.”
With the 1990 expanded product lines, and factory
space increased; by 1990 the Jon Deere Dubuque
Works stretched over 1,465 acres, an area large
enough to cover 110 football fields. Products
include backhoe loaders, hydrostatic crawlers, log
skidders, two-wheel-drive utility tractors, and
utility and construction crawler loaders and
dozers.
All students found this experience to be extremely
useful, memorable, and enjoyable!
Students that attended the field trip to John Deere Works in Dubuque, Iowa, are Richard Rutherford,
Jeremy Lessard, Travis Larsen, Jacob Bird, Bradly Swatek, Clayton Beers, Joe Molldrem, David
Chtcherbakov, Ashley Mezera, Isaiah Teynor, Mia Stickley, Parker Mindham, student, Zach Lomen,

Helping Tomorrow’s Leaders Today!
By: Wauzeka FFA Advisor
Success in any field depends to a great degree on one’s ability to make the right decision at the right time.
The opportunities offered through FFA’s career development events contribute to a young person’s success
in many ways.
First, young people are taught to make decisions based upon sound educational principals. These principals
form the basis for applying judgement in the decision making process as a life skill. Judging forces one to
make choices. Through continued practice, young people find that judging trains the mind in sound
reasoning and judging also trains young people to apply principles in the process of making choices.
Choices young people need when attending college, finding that perfect job, parenting and beyond.
Second, FFA Career Development judging teaches a young person to study poultry, crop samples, insect
identification, forestry management, dairy cattle, genetics, soil profiles, cuts of meat, food quality and the list
goes on. All of these topics are important when it comes to agriculture, the foods we eat, products we use and
the land we live on. By looking at both strong points and weak points, young people experience a thought
process that that allows you to see all sides of a problem or an opportunity.
Third, an able judge is objective. The judging experience teaches an individual the value of using objective
principles. Principles we use every day in our adult life.
On March 31, twenty Wauzeka-Steuben FFA members hopped on a bus very early in the morning to apply
these principles and participate in UW-Platteville’s FFA Career Development contests. From horse judging,
dairy cattle evaluation, dairy product contest and livestock judging, all 26 members did quite well and as the
advisor, I can’t tell you how proud I am of how willing and cooperative the students were about trying
something new. Along with sharpening their reasoning skills, the participants enjoyed fellowship,
teamwork, fun and maybe built some character. A big thanks to these dedicated students and your hard
work! Even though these students are just getting a dent in their leadership journey, remember, these are
tomorrow’s leaders!
The Middle school Junior Dairy Team consisting of Austin Mezera, Dalton Flansburgh, Kaleb Folbrecht,
Regan Kramer and Michael Zinkle placed 4th out of over 30 teams and was the youngest team there
competing against 9th and 10th graders. We had 2 members place in the top 20 with Dalton Flansburgh
placing 11th and Regan Kramer placing 17th. Beings our team was so young they did not get to advance on
to the state event, but just think what the future holds for this young team!
Livestock judging was held at the Lancaster Fairgrounds and was a challenging event, judgers Brooklynn
Nagel, Lavern Atkinson, Nate Martin and Isaiah Teynor did well trying their hand at cull cow evaluation,
market steers, breeding guilts, market lambs and market beef heifers. In addition the team had to grade the
cattle and make management decisions. Congratulations to the livestock team for persevering on such a
diversified contest and placing respectively.
The high school dairy cattle evaluation team had many duties to fulfill the day of the contest, a written exam,
management test, 6 classes of dairy cattle evaluation and let’s not forget oral reasons that kept the Wauzeka
FFA dairy judging team very busy. Congratulations David Chtcherbakov, Parker Mindham, Alayna Teynor
and Ashley Mezera for all your hard work and for placing very respectively in a very hard judging contest.
Some of the team members had never gave oral reasons before and did quite well adding speaking skills to
their resume.
Our dairy product evaluation team was ready to compete and it showed. Team members, Jadyn Sander,
Sophia Sander, Amari McCarthy and Erin Krachey were expected to identify several dairy products, analyze
cheese flavors and rank quality of the products. The team placed in the top half of the contest, and gained
knowledge of the scoring of raw food products. Way to go ladies for trying something new and succeeding
at it.
The horse judging team consisting of Brooke Mohr, Dan Tesar, Katelyn Cooley and Jessica Bedtka did
outstanding placing very high overall in a very competitive contest. The team was bussed to Dickeyville and
had to take a written exam and then evaluate 6 classes of horses. Their hard work payed off with one team
member, Dan Tesar, placing in the top 20 individually and the rest of the Wauzeka Horse Judging Team not
too far behind. Their performance has earned them a chance to go to state and represent the WauzekaSteuben community. Congratulations on qualifying for state and best of luck on the 29th of April! A big
thanks to Kim Stenner for helping the horse judging team get ready for this contest!
Career Development Contests in FFA are just one way members build speaking skills, learn to work as a
team, gain confidence and management decisions and let’s not forget the friends they meet while doing it.
Thanks again FFA contestants for taking the time out of your busy schedules. You all did a great job.

and the North and South entrance doors of the Wauzeka-Steuben School Building.
After discussion on the following consent agenda items, Udelhoven moved, seconded by Marfilius to approve the consent

Reports
D. Mrs. Dums provided a brief review of the CSIC February meeting. The meeting reviewed current efforts and plans
moving forward for spring to help build school climate.
E. Mrs. Dums and Mr. Sailer attended ALICE Training in Arcadia, WI on February 25 th and 26th. ALICE stands for Alert,
Lockdown, Inform, Countdown, Evacuate. Cr. Co. Sheriff’s Dept. Officer Jaden McCullick presented on this same topic
about a year ago. Mr. Sailer provided a brief review of the program and shared that that the rollout plan looks to be the
following - August 2016 Parent/Community informational meeting, beginning of the year teacher in-service at which all
staff will be trained, and the first couple of weeks of the 2016-17 school year there will be age-appropriate discussions
and activities held with students.
F. 2013-2017 Budget Review and Preview: Shared with the Board were reports from Consultant Roger Price, a Balance
Sheet-to-Date, and a Year-to-Date document. An in-depth presentation followed by Q & A from the board took place.
Additionally, we could be looking at a decline in enrollment of 26 students next year. In general it is safe to estimate
$8,000 per student from the state; that is just over $200,000. The state formula does have a safety net built into
addressing declining enrollment which will help offset the total dollar amount. However, we will still feel a significant
hit.

Motion carried 4-0 by voice vote.
District Administrator Robert Sailer reported on the following:
A. On March 16th the Health Insurance co-op met to talk about rates and options for next year.
B. Educator Effectiveness: I have submitted to DPI an alternative E.E. plan that should equate a revenue stream for the
district of about $2,000.
C. Early this year we took a “line of credit” for $250,000. We have used the last piece of this line of credit. In June I will be
bringing forth another board request for a line of credit to finish out this year. Then in August or September of 2016, I
will bring forward one large request that will cover us for the entire 2016-2017 school year. This will be accomplished by
creating a cash-flow worksheet that I can provide to the board that will clearly indicate payroll, benefits, and bills
compared to when state aid is provided to the district.
D. Grants - Fab Lab Grant – We should know before next board meeting if this will be approved.
Teach Grant – This is a $7,500 grant. We should know by mid-April if we will receive this grant; I am 95% sure we
will as from what I am hearing on the political side anyone who applies for this grant will get it, if they can get their
paperwork in on time. Ours was submitted March 16th; their deadline is April 1st. The money can be used to pay for any
training staff have received on technology this year, retroactive, for staff who attended the SLATE conference earlier this
year, and to pay the technology portion of our CESA 3 contract. The $7,500 that we previously spent will then be
available again that we can use somewhere else.
Financial Literacy Grant - This is another substantial grant. There are two options for this grant. One is to use the
grant for building in graduation requirements on financial literacy, which we already to so we cannot use that angle. The
second option is to use the money to make our present program more innovative and current. That is the angle we are
going to go after.
E. School Finance Committee – The Board will have a special meeting in open session before the next board meeting April
18th to go over the finances of the District.
F. Shared the CESA 3 Time Off Survey - These are the discussions that have been taking place in the background among
superintendents in our CESA.
G. Shared the CESA 3 Wage Increase Survey - These are the discussions that have been taking place in the background
among superintendents in our CESA.
H. 8th Grade Recognition is scheduled for 6 p.m., June 1st in the Hornets’ Nest.
I. Notice of Board of Canvasser’s Meeting 4/11/2016 - Board Clerk Jessie Udelhoven along with Community Members
Gary Gundlach and Carl Thompson will meet at 3 p.m. in the District Administrator’s Office to canvass the votes for the
School Board Election on Monday, May 11th. (That evening Mr. Thompson had to decline and Community Member Ed
Reichmann was contacted the next morning. He graciously accepted to volunteer and will be joining Mrs. Udelhoven and
Mr. Gundlach on April 11th.)
J. Community Interest - As the admin team reflects on our District, future enrollments, and the importance of keeping this
building and school in Wauzeka we need to really start promoting our school and making it a true community center.
This starts with celebrating and promoting our accomplishments making the building a place where community members
can go for things outside of sports such as a wellness center, the library, etc. We understand that money is not there, so
administration will be reaching out to specific groups in the county that will help provide funding to get these things
going. I think it will be a great thing for this district and the community.
There were no Community Comments.

ATHLETIC PROGRAMS
The opportunity to participate in interscholastic athletics must exist for all students. Separate programs for males and
females are allowed, but the separate programs must be comparable in type, scope, and support from the
District. Programs are considered comparable in scope when they satisfy the interest and abilities of the

program, based on student interest and ability.
The District shall not discriminate on the basis of sex, age, race, religion, color, national origin, homeless status, ancestry,
creed, pregnancy, marital or parental status, sexual orientation or physical, mental, emotional or learning disability or
handicap.
Athletic program participants are expected to adhere to rules and procedures as defined in the Athletic/Activities Code
of Conduct.
The District will provide separate locker rooms, showers, and toilets for males and females. The separate facilities,
however, will be comparable in terms of space, number of lockers, showers, and other locker room facilities.
If any student believes that the District has failed to adhere to this policy, s/he may bring or send a complaint to the
administration.
