Picnic with Purpose
by: Haley Croak
About the Project Elkhorn Area Middle School 6th Graders, as part of our PLTW Green Architecture Science class, have worked with Wausau Homes Elkhorn since 2018 to provide a hands-on building project that brings what we're learning in the classroom, to life. The Picnic Table Project in 2024 was such a success that we wanted to make this our project moving forward. We are now offering these picnic tables to the public for purchase. See a Need... Fill a Need Recognizing that Veteran's Park in Elkhorn does not have enough seating for the many events that take place there, the 6th graders are attempting to raise funds to purchase materials for and make picnic tables for Veteran's Park. They presented their project at a recent Parks & Rec meeting and were approved to move forward! The more picnic tables we sell, the more picnic tables we can build & donate to Veteran's Park! How You Can Help 1) Order a Picnic Table 2) Donate to the Project 3) Spread the Word! Ordering Deadline Orders must be received by March 31, 2025. Tables will be built in April. We will contact you when your table is ready for pick-up at EAMS. Delivery available for $25 within Walworth County.

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.

Elkhorn Area Middle School Leadership
by: Kristin Kilkenny
Elkhorn Area Middle School Leadership groups provide students with opportunities to promote positive school climate, build relationships with classmates, and develop a variety of leadership skills. Students are members of Peer Mediators, 7th Grade Leadership, and/or 8th Grade Leadership and all work together to plan, promote, and conduct activities to build community within our school and raise money to attend Wisconsin Association of School Councils (WASC) leadership development conferences and camps. EAMS Leadership students work hard all year to raise scholarship money for WASC camps and conferences by selling concessions at various school and district functions. Every year, EAMS has more students interested in attending WASC events, but not enough funds to send all qualified and interested leadership students. We are always working on ways to enable more students the opportunity to expand and grow their leadership skills, abilities, and talents. Leadership Group has led school-wide Red Ribbon Week activities, March Madness dress-up days, Bullying Prevention activities, Mix It Up at Lunch events, Creativity Conference and Color Run concessions, and dances. Students who attend these WASC leadership opportunities bring back ideas and enthusiasm to improve and expand the programs we provide for all students at EAMS.
