FIRST GRADE RECEIVES INCUBATOR AND EGG DONATION

The Roy Creek Ramblers 4-H Club

dropped off 78 eggs and a new incubator to

the first graders in Mrs. Dillie’s, Mrs.

Krentz’s and Mrs. Wiersma’s classrooms.

The eggs were put in an incubator. About

April 28 the first grade classrooms should see

these eggs hatch.

The project will teach the kids the life cycle

of the chicken. The first graders cannot

wait until they can touch them, hold them

and hear them chirp in the room. The chicks

will be kept in a heated cardboard box to

keep them warm and they will remain in the

classroom for a week. Thanks again for the

donation!

READASAURUS REX SAYS THANK YOU!

“Readasaurus Rex was cool! It was fun to have him come to my classroom! I especially liked the

books that the big boys and girls read to us. I thought it was great that Readasaurus Rex gave us small

books to keep and to read at home.” First graders Korbyn Dolgner and Ginger Austin’s words sum up

the success of the Readasaurus Rex Reading Program.

Throughout the months of March and April, community volunteers and fifth grade students visited the first

grade classrooms and read their favorite books to the first grade students. Fifth grade students, Meriah

Abendroth, Skylie Campnell, Megan Hunt, Tasha Miller, Keaton Lieske, Bradley Van Abel, and Aly Voight

enjoyed donning the dinosaur costume and playing the part of Readasaurus Rex. The fifth grade helpers

enjoyed reading books to the first graders and answering their interesting questions. Many thanks to the fifth

graders and our community readers for making Readasaurus Rex a success!

WEEK OF THE YOUNG CHILD

Thank you to everyone who helped make the Week of the Young Child a success this year! A special thank

you to the Walmart Foundation for the grant we received through the Local Facility Giving Program. Their

donation helped to make these events happen. We appreciate the community and families for being involved

and supporting our young children. We had a great turn out for both The Man with the Yellow Shoes juggling

performance and the second annual children's festival.

WATERCOLOR DEMONSTRATION

On April 21, Mrs. Nancy Kirst came to Markesan High School to demonstrate her talent in watercolor

painting for the Art Survey I class. She taught students how to lay down a wash of color for a background

using the wet on wet technique and

then described how to add shapes

and more color into a watercolor

painting. Mrs. Kirst showed many

examples of her own paintings and

how she manipulated the paint

controlling it for her final amazing

results. She has painted for almost

30 years and enjoys it for her hobby

at home. Her watercolors are

beautiful paintings that range from

portraits to animals and landscapes.

NEXT YEAR’S VACCINATION REQUIREMENTS

By Sam Mertens, RN

As the end of the year nears, it is time to think into the future. Families

need to pay particular attention if you have a child entering Kindergarten,

6th, 9th, or 12th grade. Wisconsin requires a minimum of immunization

or a written waiver. Now is the time to plan ahead as you have until the

beginning of the next school year to get your child immunized.

Students entering Grades 6 through 12 are required to have a Tdap (the

adolescent combination vaccine for tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis)

within the past five years of entering the grade.

Students entering Grades K through 12 will require a second varicella

(chickenpox) vaccine. Previously, only one varicella vaccine was

required. If your child had a natural case of chicken pox, then the vaccine

is not necessary.

You need to supply the school with the name of the vaccine and the

date (month, day, and year) the vaccine was given. Be sure to keep a

permanent record for yourself. In the future, your child may need to

supply these dates to other schools or employers.

A Student Immunization Record will be sent home in May to the

families who have children in the grades affected by the law. You may

need to double check with your physician or the Immunization Registry to

be sure the missing immunizations have not been given. Please be sure to

not wait until the beginning of school to address this need as area doctor

clinics and the Health Department become very busy with long waits.

If you have questions, please call your doctor, the local Health

Department, or the school nurse, Sam Mertens, RN at 920-398-4112. You

can find additional information about immunization requirements at http://

dhs.wisconsin.gov/immunization/index.htm.

Families can access the Wisconsin Immunization Registry by using the

link found on the school website under the immunization information on

the left side of Mrs. Mertens’ web page. The health information you have

provided the school can be viewed via family access. Please remember

you need to provide the information to the school for it to be in our

records.

SCHOOL PERFORMANCE REPORT ON REQUEST

Each parent or guardian has the right to request a school performance

report annually. You may request a copy of the school performance

report by contacting the district office at (920) 398-4201.

10

LAST DAY OF SCHOOL

The last day of classes will be Friday, June 5, 2015, pending any further inclement weather days. If we have

an inclement weather closure, the district will notify you of any changes to the last day of school. Students

will be released at 2:00 p.m.

CLASS OF 2015 GRADUATION The high school graduation ceremony will take place on Sunday, May 31 at 1:00 p.m.

EIGHTH GRADE PROMOTION

The middle school staff announces the annual Eighth Grade Promotion, which will be held on Friday, June 5 at
