WAYS TO
an East Troy winter
When winter’s first snowflakes
begin to fall, make yours a joyous
season filled with skiing, hikes,
old-fashioned fun and more.
1. Grab your sleds
Sledding is a popular winter pastime for young and old alike.
Mitchell Park, located directly
north of the Rossmiller Sports Complex along Highway 20, is the largest sledding hill in East Troy, offering plenty of fun to delight sledders.
Two additional East Troy sledding hills are located at 1824 Thomas Drive in the Pulliam Nature Area
and 1825 Thomas Drive in the West
Kettle Nature Area.

and Point, but also include Dang (made in
Milwaukee), Cicero, Dog N Suds, Goose Island, III Dachshunds, Fentimans, Virgils, Dry,

Get tech support during ‘Ask a Geek’ sessions
The East Troy High School Tech Integration
Squad, affectionately known as the East Troy
Geek Squad, is slowly but surely spreading their
love for technology across the community.
The group of eight tech savvy high school
students was formed to provide technical
support to teachers and students.
Projects range from helping students create
websites and developing screencast tutorials
to showing teachers how to integrate the most
useful tech tools into their curriculum.
The squad got official status in 2012 when
the East Troy Community School District Board
of Education agreed to give members credit for
its work at ETHS.
The group, advised by teacher Claudia
Felske, has expanded its goal (to help students
and teachers learn and love technology) to the
greater East Troy community.
Aside from helping teachers and students at
school, the group also does community outreach
each month at “Ask a Geek” sessions.
Community members are invited to come in
(smart phones, tablets, laptops in tow) to learn
new technology skills and get their questions
answered.
“‘Ask a Geek’ started when we were joking
one day about how our relatives and neighbors
all seem to have a list of tech questions for us
every time we see them,” Felske said. “We all
had this same experience and realized that there
are a lot of people out there with tech questions
that we could answer.”
Tailored to the personal requests and needs
of individuals in attendance, sessions take
place from 9-11 a.m. the first Saturday of every
month in Room 119 at East Troy High School,
3128 Graydon Ave., and are free and open to the
public. No appointments necessary.
Community members are welcome to
bring their smart phones, laptops, tablets, and
technology questions. Members of the East
Troy High School Geek Squad will be present
to help.

expected to serve more families
in need this year.
“In the past, community
organizations such as the East
Troy School District, the Lions
Club, the East Troy Food Pantry,
the Lionesses and the Kiwanis,
as well as different churches and
businesses have worked to assist
families in need to provide gifts
and food over the Christmas
holidays, but often as separate
entities,” said Komperud.
“Mary Green, former social
worker at East Troy Schools and
coordinator of the Holiday Help
program with the school district,
had a vision of that program
merging with other community
service organizations to form a
more central, community based
program to serve the Holiday
Help needs of community
members.”
Komperud said a consortium
of organizations and community
leaders began to meet over a
year ago to decide what this
program might look like and
how it could transition smoothly
from multiple programs to one
community program.
“This new program currently
involves organizations like
the East Troy Food Pantry,
Lions, Lioness, East Troy
Manor, East Troy Community
School District, Woman’s Club,
First Citizens State Bank, St.
James Methodist Church, St.
Peter’s Church and School,
Helping Hands of St. Peter’s,
Good Shepherd Church, East
Troy Bible Church, Kiwanis
Club, and Associated Bank,”
according to Komperud.
“Perspective families in
need of this program will
still be referred by the school
district, the food pantry, Helping
Hands of St. Peter’s and other
venues; however the interview
forms will all be uniform and
a master list of clients will be
maintained,” she said
Here’s the program’s
complete guide to gift giving for
local families living in poverty.
1. Toy drive
The East Troy Lions Club is
collecting gifts for children birth
to 16 years of age for its annual
toy drive.

for local children will be located
at East Troy Bible Church,

James United Methodist Church
and St. Peter’s Catholic Church
and School with collections due
by Dec. 12.
3. Secret Santa for East
Troy Manor
Associated Bank is seeking
East Troy community members/
groups to serve as secret Santas
by purchasing gifts for residents
of East Troy Manor. A giftgiving tree will be located inside
