The Wisconsin Heights School District broke ground on a new $27 million single campus building on Monday, May 24, with everyone getting in on the ceremonial shoveling. Board members, administration, and even little students got their chance to dig in with silver shovels and make a start on the large construction project.

Wisconsin Heights School District is celebrating the start of construction with a groundbreaking event at Wisconsin Heights Middle and High School, with funding for the new building addition receiving community referendum approval on November 3, 2020. The ceremonial turning of the dirt will occur on May 24, 2021, at 5:00 p.m. 

Students in Mrs. Acker’s class in Wisconsin Heights didn’t give up, they encouraged each other, and the end results were some tall towers. They realized that ‘playing’ with cards to build a tower required a plan, implementing ideas, and often starting over.

The Wisconsin Heights School Board wrestled last week with the thorny but all-to-common decision of changing health care plans for their employees. Staying with their current plan would cost $210,000, while the new plans would wind up with a net difference of zero.

At the Sauk Prairie School Board meeting on April 26, Board President Richard Judge did speak to masks, mandates, and the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s striking down of the state mandates, during “board comments.”  His remarks lasted ten minutes.

Perhaps the biggest takeaway was when he said:

Black Earth students poured, mixed, and stirred to create chocolate chip play dough after enjoying the book, If You Give a Mouse A Cookie. 

Dr. Matthew Green, Director of Special Education & Student Services, gave a special shout out to these students at the April 12 board meeting.
