Dollars for Scholars

Congratulations to the 4th grade class for raising the

most money for our Dollars for Scholars competition.

RLES was raising money to support our Rib Lake sen-

iors who will be attending a two year tech school or four

year college. We hope that this helps the students see

the importance of investing in the community that we

live in. Once again this year, the 5th grade students will

be reading through the scholarship applications to deter-

mine the recipient or recipients of the award. Two fifth

graders will also be presenting the scholarship/s to the

recipient/s on awards night. Thank you to all that sent

money in with their student! The 4th grade loved their

prize of duct taping Mr. Dallmann and Mrs. Wendland

to the wall along with a pizza party.

RLES & RLMS were represented at the regional spelling

bee by (l to r) Anna Hoffland, Autumn Ochodnicky, Theo

Robisch, and Bud Schreiner. 5th Grade - Hearts of Kindness

Our students enjoyed a week of Dr. Seuss activities

that ended Friday afternoon with Seuss Olympics.

Ron Sromek and Rebecca Zuleger gave a presentation on

trapping and animal identification. Ron is a certified in-

structor with the Wisconsin Cooperative Trapper Education

Program.

Chris Cold from the DNR Wildlife Education Program

came to RLES to talk to the 2nd grade about owls.

Rebecca Walker visited the Kindergarten class to talk

about dental hygiene.

We have a variety of Redmen clothing and items including

t-shirts, sweatshirts, sweatpants, polos, and stadium seats

that would make great Easter gifts for your student. If you

would like to take a look at these items, please stop by the

elementary school and check out the display case!

Directory Information

There are many times when the school would like to

recognize students publicly for their accomplishments.

This may be displayed in the school, on the school web-

site, in school newsletters, and/or shared with the media.

In releasing directory data to media, your passive per-

mission is required. Directory information includes

student name, address, telephone number, birth date,

participation in special activities, dates of attendance

and photographs. Any parent NOT wanting this infor-

mation, or parts of it, released must make such a request

in writing to the principal.

Congratulations to the Rib Lake Boys

Basketball team on becoming Regional Champs

this season!

Good Luck to our track, softball, and base-

ball athletes as they begin their upcoming seasons!

DonorsChoose Rib Lake Elementary would like to thank

DonorsChoose.org and its supporters for helping our edu-

cators! DonorsChoose.org is a website that helps to con-

nect teachers with people willing to financially support

the classroom projects. Rib Lake Elementary has now

had a couple of different classroom projects funded

through the support of people donating on Do-

norsChoose.org. We have had donations from people as

far away as New York supporting our teacher’s

ideas! We currently have one project on the website that

has been selected either by a company or celebrity that

will be matching each donation for a flexible seating pro-

ject! Here is a quick link to DonorsChoose.org, I encour-

age you to check out the website and see how it works!
