While the forecast is calling for limited snowfall, the wind and bitter cold will be creating a dangerous environment starting Thursday late morning and continuing through Saturday. We are very concerned about having students and staff out on the roads at dusk under these forecasted conditions. We considered an early release in the middle of the day, but felt it would create a bigger burden for parents as we have never done that before. In addition, we wanted to give ample notice so parents could arrange childcare if needed.
For those reasons we are announcing that we will be closing school on Thursday December 22nd. Please stay safe and enjoy the time with your family and friends.
4th graders experienced what an Early Wisconsin Gathering would be like. They played games like marbles, jacks, pick up sticks, and tiddlywinks. After that they got to taste some of the food that early Wisconsinites would have enjoyed. They feasted on wild rice soup, cranberry muffins, different cheeses, apples and oranges and enjoyed wassil, as drink from apple cider and cranberry juice. They also got to taste ribbon candy and other old fashion candies. To end the afternoon, they had to search for a stocking filled with fruit and candy. It was a fantastic day!!
Thank you to all those that donated monies, clothing, time, and well wishes to our Families in Needs Program. We also wanted to give a huge thank you to the community members of Lakeland Community Church for delivering and donating 65 breakfast bags towards this program as well. We are so fortunate to have the supporting community groups continue to lift up our schools and students. Thank you. Thank you. Thank YOU!!
