A huge congratulations goes out to Jack Goers who , entered the 2020 WI Land+Water Conservation Association Poster Contest with this years’ theme “Where Would We Bee Without Pollinators?” At Shawano County’s competition he received a first place for his age division (K-1st). In January, Jack’s poster went to the regional contest (Lake Michigan Area) where he also took first place. All first place posters from each participating County in the State in each of the five age divisions continued on to the state level held March 4th - 5th in Green Bay. All 466 attendees of the WI Land + Water State Conference had the opportunity to cast their votes for their favorite poster in each age division. Jack Goers’ poster was the second place winner in his age division.
Way to go Jack!
We are closing school today at noon due to the power outage that is happening. We will back at school bright and early tomorrow.
If you would like to purchase a brick from the 1935 building, please stop down to school between the hours of 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. We will be there M-F this week. The bricks will be sold "as is." You will have to clean some of the mortar off of them. If you break the brick, just come back and we will find you another. We would like to sell the bricks for a dollar. We will use the money to purchase equipment for the new school.
If you would like to donate more than a dollar, you may.

The building is mostly down and the clean up continues. Thanks to all of those who came out virtually and in person.
As one commenter with first hand knowledge stated, the building was no longer safe.
A lot of great memories which will never be forgotten. Thanks Wildcats!
Demolition has stopped for today. They need to bring another machine on site to finish the demolition tomorrow. We will be figuring out the brick sale this afternoon
We have been asked by quite a few people about being able to get a brick or purchase a brick. I still have not heard when this will be available. My guess is on Thursday. Please be patient as we figure this out. We have not heard from our construction manager when we will be able to do this. We need our community to stay safe, so keep watching our app for further announcements about getting/buying a brick.
Thanks,
Newell

Thursday's Senior Spotlight!
All Gresham School plants are now for sale at Gresham Hardware only. Thanks for your continued support of our program!
Wednesday's Senior Spotlight!
Until noon, the road into the school parking lot is not open. The road is dug up below our black top so there is a huge difference to get in the schools parking lot.
At noon, you can come down the road by the Lutheran church and enter the school at the first entrance by the faculty parking to get into school.
Dear Parents,
As we wind down the school year, we need your help.
If you are getting school lunches, the school year is ending. We need to get an accurate count of who would still like SUMMER meals-delivered. Please call school and confirm this with our secretaries by Friday, June 5th. We are in the office from 8:00am-4:00 pm. If we are not in the office, you can leave a message on our voicemail identifying yourself and how many lunches that you need. Please let us know if we should call you back.
Students are going to be allowed to keep their chromebooks at home. If you wish to turn the chromebooks into school, you may. Seniors are to turn in their chromebooks, cases, and chargers to the office.
BAND INSTRUMENTS-Students can keep their instruments at home to practice OR you can turn them back in to school.
Please pick up homework. The road in front of school is open from the Lutheran church to school OR over Pingel’s hill (Highview). We have a lot of art projects, etc...that don’t work to deliver in the lunch vans.
Sincerely,
Newell E. Haffner
District Administrator/4K-5 Principal
Tuesday's Senior Spotlight!
The Gresham FFA Chapter and the Gresham FFA Alumni Affiliate each donated $500 to the Fresh Project to purchase dairy products to be distributed to families in need each Friday in Gresham at the ball park. Pictured is Barb Mendoza from the Fresh Project and Mr. Zobeck the Gresham FFA Advisor.
Ag. Shop students were asked to design and build a project at home for class credit. This is one of those projects. Great job students!
