FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK
1 - WKCE Testing For
Sophomores Only, 7:5511:30 AM, attendance
required
By this time you have probably heard about our score on the State School Report card.
LMHS scored “Meets Expectations” as did most schools in the state. Although we have
not been informed about how scores were determined, we do understand key areas. We
will use this information as part of our school’s Continuous Improvement Plan.
1 - School Starts For All At
Noon, Day 2 - Blocks 3 &
4
The following areas are evaluated on this report card:
∗
Student Achievement as measured by the WKCE
Our Sophomores are taking this test this week and we are encouraging them
to do their best. We are working with students to have a solid foundation in
Algebra and the beginnings of Geometry before they take this test.
∗
Closing the Gaps
This refers to how ALL groups of students are making achievement gains.
∗
7 - Musical Dress Rehearsal
For LMHS Students and
Staff
ACT Participation and Performance
LMHS has implemented the EPAS system to replace the MAP testing to help
students prepare for the ACT by taking EXPLORE and PLAN. In addition, the
staff uses EPAS information to enrich our curriculum to support College and
Career Readiness.
∗
Graduation Rate
We do very well in this area at LMHS.
9 - End of First Quarter
∗
Attendance
We continue to remind students and parents that the State allows 10 parent
excused absences each YEAR. Absences for any reason should be used
sparingly.

The State Report Card is new and we know that

improve our services to students, we know that
our score and our student outcomes will improve.

L-CAT OF THE WEEK
Each week we randomly select two students to use the newly designated parking
stalls closest to the front door. These are students who have purchased a parking
pass and have demonstrated safe driving in our parking lots and driveways. This
means wearing a seat belt, driving slowly and carefully, and NOT texting while
driving.
These stalls will only be used by the students during school hours and not during
afterschool events.
LMHS’ PURPOSE
The Lake Mills Area School District meets every 5 years to do strategic planning. At the last session, attended by
over 35 community members, parents, students, and staff, we created the current Mission Statement. We have
decided that for the purposes of the students, we will articulate our purpose as ACE: Academic and Character
Excellence. It was recommended by several students. Look for more publicity of this logo throughout the
school.
Scholarships for Seniors
Senior Financial Aid Night
A financial aid night for seniors and parents
from Lake Mills, Waterloo, Deerfield and
Cambridge High Schools is planned for Monday,
Dec. 10 at 7 P.M. at Cambridge High School.
A representative from the Department of Public
Instruction will share information regarding the financial
aid process.
This is especially relevant for families who have never
been involved with the financial aid process.
Scholarships are great way to help finance
postsecondary education.
They can be
awarded based on various criteria – economic
need, academic merit, community service,
intended major, etc. Scholarships are awarded
by a wide range of sources. It is important to
research scholarship opportunities through the
financial aid office of the college a student plans
to attend and through places such as the
parent’s source of employment and/or service
organizations. Seniors should check our high
school website or visit the Information Station
outside the main office for a list of scholarships
that come to our guidance office. Seniors are
encouraged to check this weekly, as
scholarship opportunities posted are timesensitive.

FRENCH VISITORS
On September 24th, fifteen students and two teachers arrived with excitement from the Lycée Zola for our second French
exchange. The students enjoyed our homecoming week activities, capping the week off with the homecoming dance.
They also took field trips to Madison, Milwaukee, Lake Mills and Old World Wisconsin where they were able to enjoy all
aspects of Wisconsin culture.
I would like to extend a big thank you to the families who hosted or were involved with the students from Lycée Zola, as
well as the Lake Mills Community. I could not have an exchange without your support - Ellen Onsrud.

FACS FACTS
Baking/Pastry Arts just finished a unit on quick breads. Items prepared
in class included blueberry muffins, coffee cake, pancakes, biscuits,
pizza made with a biscuit crust, and Wisconsin State Fair Cream Puffs.
Be sure to check the district web page to see pictures of the students
making and eating the cream puffs. We are beginning the yeast
bread unit with a speaker, Mr. Nick Brillion, a former baker for
Panera’s, who will be demonstrating bread-making and making
Three Cheese Twists in class. Later, students will be making cinnamon
rolls and pretzels.
Foods, Foods, Foods has completed units on safety in the kitchen, measuring and reading a
recipe, fruits, vegetables, and grains. We have just begun a dairy unit. Students will be
making pudding (the old-fashioned kind, no boxes involved!), sampling various varieties of
cheeses, learning how to make a white sauce, making a cheese sauce from a white sauce,
and making macaroni and cheese (also no boxes involved!).
Relationship/Parenting topics to date have included friendship, dating, and engagement.
We are currently discussing choosing a mate and from there we will deal with marriage. We
have viewed two movies, A Walk to Remember, and My Big Fat Greek Wedding and have
discussed how they have related to topics we are covering in class.
ACCREDITATION & PARENT SURVEY
LMHS has been an accredited High School since 1915. The organization that now grants this accreditation is
called AdvancED. Every five years we complete a self-audit and then have a review team visit our school for two
days. This is our year!
We have explained the process to the staff and students. Here is how you, as a parent/guardian, will be involved.
Please complete our online parent survey at http://www.advanc-ed.org/survey/public/4270682.
The survey will be open until November 25 and is
anonymous.
Thank you very much in advance for your help!

JEFFERSON COUNTY
CHRISTMAS NEIGHBORS
P.O. BOX 177 JEFFERSON, WI 53549
Dear Parent or Guardian:
Since 1952, the Jefferson County Christmas Neighbors Program has tried to reach the low income families so that their
children might enjoy the gifts and food for the Christmas holidays.
This year, again, we are asking schools to help us find these families. This letter gives you the opportunity to take
advantage of the generosity of our community who provide us with money, gifts and food. Please call our office at (920)
674-4499, after November 1, and our volunteers will answer your questions and mail you a form to complete and return to
us before December 7. This year we ask that you do not leave a message on the answering machine, other than a phone
number. We prefer that you speak to a volunteer in order to get the right information.
You may choose between the Toy Program, which will take place on Tuesday, December 18 at the Jefferson County
Activity Center, and the Adopt-a-Family Program where a sponsor is matched with your family.
We hope that you will call us soon after November 1 so that your child or children may have a wonderful Christmas. We
must remind you, however, that this program is only for Jefferson County Residents and you must have a referral or the
name of the caseworker to qualify. If you receive a letter from your child’s school, tell us that when you call.
Sincerely,
THE CHRISTMAS NEIGHBORS BOARD

Link Crew News
Fourth Annual Freshmen Orientation
This year the 2012-2013 Lake Mills Link Crew welcomed
130 Freshmen and new students to Lake Mills High
School for a very eventful first day of school. LMHS’s
4th Annual Freshmen Orientation started off in the
Upper Gym with the Freshmen and Link Leaders up in the
bleachers participating in short activities. After a
morning of fun activities the new students and Freshmen
split up into groups of 8 or 9 Freshmen with 2 or 3
LMHS’ Junior and Senior Link Leaders. In the small
groups the Link Leaders led activities that allowed
everyone to know each other better. The Freshmen
and new students also received helpful information
about high school and had a personal “themed” tour of
the school.
Third Annual Link Crew Tailgate Party
The Link Crew welcomed freshman and new students to a
football tailgate this past month. We had a large turnout
of students. All of the food was donated by the Link
Leaders, Link Crew Coordinators and Brian Conrad from
Conrad’s Sentry. Coach Murphy also gave free passes to
the final home game of the season to all students who
attended the tailgate party and the Moravian Church
allowed us use of their parking lot to hold the tailgate
party. Stay tuned for more fun activities with Link Crew.
Want more information about Link Crew or to see more pictures from
Orientation, the tailgate party and other past activities? Check out our

Healthy Drinks for Kids

There’s a lot of talk about getting kids to eat healthy foods, but what about getting them
on board with healthy drinks? What kids drink can drastically affect the amount of calories
consumed, as well as the amount of calcium needed to build strong bones.
Serve Water and Milk
For kids of all ages, water and milk are the best choices, so let them flow. Not only is water calorie-free,
but drinking it teaches kids to accept a low-flavor, no-sugar beverage as a thirst-quencher. Because a
cup of milk has 300 milligrams of calcium, it can be a big contributor to your child’s daily needs.
When kids drink too much juice, juice drinks, sports drinks, and soda, these beverages can crowd out the
milk they need. Sugary drinks also can pile on the calories.
This chart shows the calories and sugar in different beverages:

Put Limits on Juice
If your child likes juice, be sure to serve 100% juice. Also follow these recommended limits:
up to 6 months old: no juice
6-12 months old: no more than 2-4 ounces (120 milliliters) per day, always served in a cup
1-6 years old: 4-6 ounces (120-180 milliliters) of juice per day
7-18 years old: 8-12 ounces (240-360 milliliters) of juice per day
Say No to Soda

Soft drinks are commonly served to kids, but they have no nutritional value and are high in sugar.
Drinking soda and other sugared drinks is associated with tooth decay. Colas and other sodas often
contain caffeine, which kids don’t need. In addition, soft drinks may be taking the place of calcium-rich
milk.
One study found that on average preschoolers drank less than the recommended 16 ounces of milk
each day while consuming 8 ounces of soda and fruit drinks (not including 100% fruit juice). If soda
habits start when kids are little, chances are they will drink increasing amounts as they get older. In older
FortHealthCare.com/eNews kids and adolescents, drinking soda has been linked to excessive weight gain and other problems.
That said, many kids like soda and will request it. As a rule, don’t serve it to babies, toddlers, or
preschoolers. With older kids, let them know it’s a once-in-a-while beverage. Don’t ban it entirely if your
kids like it now and then — that’s likely to make it more alluring and them more inclined to overdo it
when they get the chance!

Seasonal Influenza (Flu)
Is it a Cold, Flu, or Pertussis?
The Myth of the "Stomach Flu”
Many people use the term "stomach flu” to describe illnesses with nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. These symptoms can be caused by many different viruses, bacteria, or even
parasites. The "flu" is a term that generally refers to influenza. While vomiting, diarrhea, and being nauseous or “sick to your stomach” can sometimes be related to the flu —
particularly in children — these problems are rarely the main symptoms of influenza. The flu is a respiratory disease and not a stomach or intestinal disease.
Is it a Cold, Flu or Pertussis?
Colds, flu and Pertussis are highly contagious and, in the initial stages, might seem alike. Check the following table for a comparison of the symptoms for each illness.
