Walk-A-Thon Fundraiser -Jackson PTA

by: Jason Tadlock

Jackson PTA is sponsoring our 10th Annual Walk-a-Thon as the primary fundraiser of the year. We chose a Walk-a-Thon as our fundraiser because 100% of the profits will benefit the students of Jackson School rather than 15-25% of the profits from a typical catalog/pizza/cookie dough fundraiser. Our PTA will use the proceeds from this event to fund classroom field trips, pay for assemblies and classroom activities, and support technology projects. Please help make this event a success by asking your friends and family to pledge a flat donation for your child’s participation in our Walk-a-Thon. This year pledges will only be collected online. There will be no pledge envelopes. Online pledges will be collected on a secure fundraising site called Classmunity. As a contribution is made please enter the student's name put the child's name and teacher's name in the Display Name Box to get credit for the donation. Please share this fundraiser with your friends and family and let’s make this year’s event our most successful yet! On Wednesday, September 29, Jackson students will walk over to the Walworth County Fairgrounds during the school day and walk laps (on the Relay for Life track) with their teachers and classmates. Each classroom teacher has signed up for an hour block of time for his/her class to participate in the Walk-A-Thon. Students are encouraged to collect pledges to benefit our PTA, but all students will participate in this fun event even if they do not collect pledges. The Walking Field trip Permission Slip you signed for your child’s class will cover our walk. Prizes and Incentives *The student who collects the most in pledges may choose between Principal or Gym Teacher for a ½ Day (this includes lunch!). *The classroom that collects the most pledge money will get a class PIZZA PARTY. *The top pledge earner from each grade level will receive a $50 Target gift card. *All students who raise $20 or more will receive a prize.

Memorial at the Flag

This past summer, just before school started, Officer Joe Kirkpatrick, our School Resource Officer, passed away unexpectedly. Joe was a kind-hearted individual, and he loved our kids, loved his work, and loved serving others. He was also a very patriotic individual who loved our country. A group of colleagues and friends proposed a memorial for Officer Kirkpatrick in the area around the flagpole where he parked each day, honoring his contributions to the community over the past several decades. Monies raised from the Memorial fundraiser will cover materials and landscaping. Special thanks to local contractors assisting and for willing to donate all or a portion of their services: RC Welding and Fabrication - creating and donating the benches. Chris Egner Designs (Chris Egner) – project design Leibsle Services, LLC (Eric Leibsle) – Excavation and stone for the base Superior Landscaping (Rolando Sanchez) – paver and plantings Stebnitz Builders - contractor services Unilock - Brick We think Joe would be pleased with an effort to bring people together around the flag. Online donations can be made via Classmunity. Cash and check (made payable to EASD) contributions can be submitted to school offices or the District Office (3 N Jackson Street, Elkhorn, WI).

The archway will honor EASD Coaches Dean Wilson and Paul Yanke for their contributions to education and athletics. Yanke led the Elks for 26 years as head football coach as well as an assistant coach of wrestling, track, and basketball. On the football field Yanke led teams to three conference championships and numerous playoff appearances. Wilson was a football coach for 26 years with 15 of those years as head coach. Wilson’s teams were conference champs seven times and playoff qualifiers 12 times. Wilson also coached wrestling, basketball, and baseball in different capacities while founding and running the City of Elkhorn Recreation Department for 23 years. To celebrate their legacy, the Elkhorn Area School District Recognition Committee is raising funds to install commemorative plaques for the new archway. These plaques will serve as a tribute to Coach Wilson and Coach Yanke and their many contributions to our students and community. However, we cannot do this without your help. Please consider helping us meet our fundraising goal of $2,500 to purchase and install these plaques. Your donation, no matter how small, will go a long way in ensuring that we can install these plaques and celebrate the legacy of our alumni for generations to come.

Footloose: The Musical

by: Lisa Dettmann-Webb

When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small farming town, he is prepared for the inevitable adjustment period at his new high school. But he’s not prepared for the rigorous local edicts, including a ban on dancing instituted by the local preacher, who is determined to exercise control over the town’s youth. When the reverend’s rebellious daughter sets her sights on Ren, her roughneck boyfriend tries to sabotage Ren’s reputation, with many of the locals eager to believe the worst about the new kid. The heartfelt story that emerges pins a father longing for the son he lost against a young man aching for the father who walked out on him. To the rockin’ rhythm of its Oscar and Tony-nominated Top 40 score, augmented with dynamic new songs, Footloose celebrates the wisdom of listening to young people while guiding them with a warm heart and open mind. Join the EAHS Theater Department in celebrating the 25th Anniversary of this great, musical production. Ren, Ariel, and the town of Bomont will "cut loose" on the EAHS stage on Saturday, April 22nd at 7:00 P.M. and Sunday, April 23rd at 1:00 P.M. Don't miss this fun and heartwarming production.

Erica Reddy Family Collection

by: Jason Tadlock

Erica was an incredible example of courage as she battled several rounds of cancer over the years. I’ve never seen an employee with such grit and a desire to work and contribute. Even while undergoing exhausting treatments that would force most to stay home, she showed up and kept battling. Her family shared that “she fought the good fight and has passed onto her eternal glory.” Erica did all this while being a devoted single mother to her middle school-aged son. With the family's permission, we have set up a collection to benefit her son and assist with his ongoing support.

EAHS Fall Musical: Catch Me If You Can

by: Lisa Dettmann-Webb

Based on the hit film and the incredible true story, Catch Me If You Can is the high-flying musical comedy about chasing your dreams and not getting caught. Nominated for four Tony awards, including Best Musical, this delightfully entertaining show was created by a Tony Award-winning "dream team," with a book by Terrence McNally (The Full Monty, Ragtime) and a swinging score by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman (Hairspray). Seeking fame and fortune, precocious teenager, Frank Abignale, Jr., runs away from home to begin an unforgettable adventure. With nothing more than his boyish charm, a big imagination and millions of dollars in forged checks, Frank successfully poses as a pilot, a doctor and a lawyer – living the high life and winning the girl of his dreams. When Frank's lies catch the attention of FBI agent, Carl Hanratty, though, Carl pursues Frank across the country to make him pay for his crimes.

Walk-A-Thon Fundraiser -Jackson PTA

by: Jason Tadlock

Jackson PTA is sponsoring our 9th Annual Walk-a-Thon as the primary fundraiser of the year. We chose a Walk-a-Thon as our fundraiser because 100% of the profits will benefit the students of Jackson School rather than 15-25% of the profits from a typical catalog/pizza/cookie dough fundraiser. Our PTA will use the proceeds from this event to fund classroom field trips, pay for assemblies and classroom activities, and support technology projects. Please help make this event a success by asking your friends and family to pledge a flat donation for your child’s participation in our Walk-a-Thon. This year pledges will only be collected online. There will be no pledge envelopes. Online pledges will be collected on a secure fundraising site called Classmunity. As a contribution is made please enter the student's name in the comments box and the pledge will be credited to them. Please share this fundraiser with your friends and family and let’s make this year’s event our most successful yet! On Wednesday, May 26, Jackson students will walk over to the Walworth County Fairgrounds during the school day and walk laps (on the Relay for Life track) with their teachers and classmates. Each classroom teacher has signed up for an hour block of time for his/her class to participate in the Walk-A-Thon. Students are encouraged to collect pledges to benefit our PTA, but all students will participate in this fun event even if they do not collect pledges. The Walking Field trip Permission Slip you signed for your child’s class will cover our walk. Prizes and Incentives *The student who collects the most in pledges may choose between Principal or Gym Teacher for a ½ Day (this includes lunch!). *The classroom that collects the most pledge money will get a class PIZZA PARTY. *The top pledge earner from each grade-level will receive a $50 Walmart gift card. *All students who raise $20 or more will receive a prize. If you have any questions, please contact Jill Stebnitz, Kindergarten Teacher stebji@elkhorn.k12.wi.us

Team Andrew Shirts

by: Haley Croak

Andrew is a student at the Elkhorn Middle School. At 6 years old Andrew was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. DMD is a genetic disorder characterized by the progressive loss of muscle. It is a multi-systemic condition affecting many parts of the body which results in deterioration of the skeletal, heart, and lung muscles. Today, Duchenne's has infiltrated every second of every day for Andrew and his family. Andrew's parents, Joe and Gina, work incredibly hard to provide for their family and bring as much "normalcy" as possible into their lives. Four dollars from every shirt will go to help Andrew's family with medical bills and equipment that is very much needed. Shirts are available in youth sizes XS-XL and adult sizes XS-3XL. Shirts can also be purchased with cash or check at the middle school office. Please help support Andrew and his family.

3rd/4th/5th Grade Tackle Football

by: Jason Tadlock

SEYFA, our football league did meet last week and determined that we would start the season on Monday, August 24th. We will have 7 or 8 games with the first one to be scheduled on September, 12th. This means our first practice date will be August 24th. Plan for all grade levels to meet at the MS fields @ 5:00. Those students in grades 6-8 who did not make it to the fitting, that is okay, just be sure to show up at 4:00 on the 24th to get fit and receive your equipment or you can attend an additional fitting scheduled on August 3rd from 5:00-6:30 PM at the HS field concession stands.  Students in grades 3, 4-5 we are close to a point that if we have enough 3rd-grade families interested then we can split the team and run a 3-4 team and a separate 5th-grade team. I have included families with third graders who had indicated an interest in playing football. If in 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade and you desire to play tackle this fall, please register using this link if you have not done so already.  I will need to make a decision by the first week of August, so please complete the initial deposit by then. If we don't end up with enough additions we may have to consider keeping it 4th/5th. If you are experiencing a financial hardship that is preventing you from registering your child, just email me and we'll get them registered.  Parents who are already registered, I have modified the registration page to allow for the additional fee to be paid. You can choose to do two $50 payments at your own pace, or pay the additional $100 at once.  The payments will be refunded if the season is canceled.  In total, the cost is $150, which goes to pay officials and equipment costs. After we have this additional window of signups we will hold an additional fitting for all new registrants and those who missed the first fittings on August 3rd from 5:00-6:30 PM at the HS field concession stands.   Let me know if you have any questions.  -- Jason TadlockDistrict AdministratorElkhorn Area School DistrictPhone: 262-723-3160 EXT 1401CEll: 608-558-8401Twitter: @Elkhorn_Supt, @JasonKTadlock

With the unfortunate circumstances, the Elkhorn Area High School Student Council is sad to announce the cancelation of our annual Dodgeball Tournament. We are still asking for any monetary donations for the Mnuk Family during this uncertain time. We hope that you and your family consider supporting Mackenzie Mnuk and help make a huge difference in someone’s life. About Mackenzie: Since 2018, Mackenzie has endured 5 skull surgeries, 2 LP shunt (abdominal) surgeries, 6 spinal/shunt taps, 2 emergency visits, over 8-week long hospital stays, in addition to her several scheduled and unscheduled trips to University of Chicago for post-op care and emergency visits. Mackenzie's compromised health limits her ability to work, drive, participate in sports, and hang out with friends. Despite her medical challenges, Mackenzie enjoys school activities (such as Drama Club, HOSA, National Honors Society, Link Crew, Peer Tutoring, and Key Club), church youth group, and volunteering.

EAST Chili & Soup Cook-Off

by: Mindy Binnie

The Chili cook-off is a family-friendly event which promotes a sense of community and support for our students with Autism. Last year around 200 students and their families participated. It was a successful and fun event! The mission of EAST (Elkhorn Autism Support Team) is to provide support, education, and resources while increasing understanding about autism for students, school staff, families, and the community. Our supports include posting monthly tips for staff members to reference, problem-solving and collaborating with staff about the needs of specific students, and developing professional development for teachers, staff and community. The way we collect funds for our TEAM is through our annual Chili & Soup Cook-off, which will be held this coming March 3, 2020 from 5-7 in the Middle School Gym in Elkhorn. We have staff make up their favorite chili or soup and bring it to the cook-off for the community and staff to purchase and enjoy while supporting our Autism Team. In addition to the chili ticket sales, we have a raffle and live auction of different items and baked goods to help raise additional funds for our organization.
