Last week, younger Wisconsin Heights students made Mandala designs out of material found on the trail while going on a nature walk.

The Wisconsin Heights summer school Wellness class took two field trips this month. The first was a hiking trip on the Ice Age Trail outside Cross Plains, and the other was to Lion’s Den Taekwondo gym in Black Earth.

The Sauk Prairie School Board gave tacit approval to Superintendent Jeff Wright to seek bids for a solar project to be installed on the roofs of district buildings. Wright was backed by a group of interested Sauk Prairie residents who fully support (and at times own their own) solar power installations.

Sauk Prairie’s summer school future 3rd graders made jellyfish and kites last week during their Creativity Hour with Ms. Jares.  They really had fun creating some very colorful and unique jellyfish and were excited to test fly their kites outside. Pictured is Madelyn Bischoff and her kite.

The hire of an interim District Administrator for Wisconsin Heights may have come as surprise to some, but we now know it was the result of a few days’ worth of negotiations that simply didn’t work out.

Wisconsin Heights has decided to go with a roof-mounted solar power system, after a DNR study found the proposed ground for the system is a protected wetland. The proposed installation was to go on unusable ground owned by the district by the Wolf Run Trail.
