The Sauk Prairie School District School Board recently recognized Sauk Prairie Healthcare and McFarlanes Manufacturing for their support of the district’s schools and the role each company played in the earning of a $2.44 million Workforce Innovation grant to advance the district’s programs in Advanced Manufacturing, Agriculture, and Med

No doubt eagerly awaited by school administrators, the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction’s district report cards came out last week and Dale Green, Director of Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment, made the board’s night telling them how well Wisconsin Heights did.

Green explained:

St. Aloysius students recently had a fun assembly where they learned they had won a $10,000 grant to learn about financial literacy. The award, the Jackson Charitable Foundation and Discovery Education, Cha-Ching Money Smart Kids Contest 2022, was given to St. Aloysius after they submitted a letter for consideration.

The Star News happened to be in the newly redone Sauk Prairie High School LMC (Library Media Center) about a month ago, and Library Media Specialist Stephanie Judge was excited to talk about the new Makerspace. She explained:

Bridges Elementary students practice Bridges Everyday Expectations (BEE) to Be Kind, Be Safe, and Be Helpful.  They are called our BEE awards.  Students work hard each day to show our BEE traits and classroom teachers and staff nominate them to receive a BEE award at our all school assemblies.  Here are the Kindergarten through 2nd grade

The October Above the Line theme was “Fairness.”  The students listed below received awards on Friday, October 21st from their classroom teacher or staff member who felt that they are an individual that is fair to others.  Congratulations to these Grand Avenue students!

Bridges students gathered outside Halloween morning and had a parade.

Heights' kids put on a parade for the community in the gymnasium Monday.

The Sauk Prairie and Wisconsin Heights school districts set next year’s levies at their meetings last week. Here’s a breakdown:
