Wisconsin Big Cat Rescue
by: Danielle Werkheiser
In our 5th grade classes, we read the book The Tiger Rising, by Kate DiCamillo, which features a tiger who is mistreated and in need of rescuing. In helping students understand the relevance and to connect our curriculum to a global problem, we would like to raise awareness and funds to help the local nonprofit, Wisconsin Big Cat Rescue in Rock Springs, Wisconsin. This nonprofit has a close connection with Waunakee, as many people in the community have donated their Christmas trees for the tigers to play with! As many of the tigers surrendered are older, they have increased medical needs. We would like to work towards raising $1,500 to contribute to the vet bills of these tigers, as well as provide them with some Boomer Balls to help keep them agile! Thank you for helping bring awareness to the needs of animals in our community. If you’d like to learn more about this organization, feel free to visit their website or facility.

Moving on UP!
by: Aaron May
The Waunakee Middle School Dance Team is moving on UP! Our program began in 2019 with 12 dancers, and we’ve quickly grown in size to where we will be splitting UP into two teams this year! We are pumped UP to offer this extracurricular activity where middle schoolers can express themselves, make new friends, be part of a team, and build confidence. We rely on our sUPer dance families and friends for funding which goes towards: - UPkeep: Poms, music-cutting, choreography, competition fees, recognition, etc. - Switching it UP: The school district introduced new branding last year which requires us to get new pom outfits. - Party UP: Did we mention we like to have fun? We also use funds for team bonding events, a holiday party, and end of season celebration. Please help us keep UP the good work: Fundraising for these team costs offsets the team fees and we truly want to keep our program accessible for everyone! To reflect our high hopes for a great season this year, we’ve set a goal of raising $2,023. Please consider sUPporting our online fundraiser. Go Warriors! ~Coach MK (MacKenzie Wild) ~Coach P (Petra Mallon) ~Coach K (Kristina Maher) Who is managing the campaign? Kristina Maher

by: SAMANTHA PILSNER
Our school is currently running a fundraising campaign to support our staff throughout the year. This includes meals at conference time and teacher appreciation week. In the past we have asked for families to drop off items, however, by raising funds, we will hope to make it easier on you by coordinating the meal and treat efforts. We understand that everyone’s circumstances are different, but if you are able to contribute, your donation would make a meaningful impact. Every dollar counts, and even a small contribution can help us reach our goal! Your support is invaluable to us, and we appreciate any help you can provide! Thank you for being a part of our school community!

About this Fundraiser: Project Graduation is the culminating celebration hosted by parents and the community for the Waunakee Community High School graduating class.

It boasts a variety of activities and entertainment including a hypnotist and games. In addition, food is served and tons of prizes, (including CASH), are awarded at the end of the night. As always, adult volunteers will chaperone. WE hope you will demonstrate your support of this event by making a tax deductible financial contribution.

Build On Tradition
by: Janice Ross
The Homerun Club is running a Capital Campaign to fund much needed improvements to the Varsity and Junior Varsity baseball fields at the High School with the goal of bettering the overall experience for the players, coaches and fans. Our goal is to raise $225,000 for all of the improvements, to be completed in phases: Phase 1: COMPLETED IN 2018 and 2019 *DUGOUTS-The existing Varsity field dugouts were far too small for a typical roster size and coaching staff at the Varsity Level. The JV field didn't have any dugouts, therefore the JV players and coaches were left out in the open during bad weather events. -Both teams now have dugouts. *PROTECTIVE FENCE CAPS- Both fields had protective fence caps installed along the top of the outfield fences. Additional protective fence caps needed to be added along the top of the foul line fencing to help prevent injury to a player reaching over to make a catch. - Protective fence caps have been added along the top of the foul line fencing. *NEW SCOREBOARDS FOR BOTH THE VARSITY AND JV FIELDS - The existing scoreboards provide minimal information for players, coaches and fans. - Both fields have new scoreboards. - CURRENTLY WORKING ON - Phase 2 and 3: *VARSITY FIELD UPGRADED SOUND SYSTEM - The existing sound system is dated and somewhat difficult to hear and understand. *JV FIELD BATTING CAGE- The JV field has no batting cage which limits the JV coaching staffs ability to conduct high quality practices and provide good pregame warm-up. *JV FIELD BULLPENS - There are no bullpens on the JV field which requires pitchers to warm up without a pitching mound in foul territory during games. The new bullpens will improve the in-game experience and safety of our players, they will also improve the quality of practices and pregame warm-ups. *VARSITY FIELD BATTER'S EYE SCREENING - There is no batter's eye background on the varsity field, therefore the background for a hitter above the outfield fence is the High School building, which is lighter in color making it more difficult for a hitter to see the baseball. *JV FIELD OUTFIELD FENCE REINFORCING AND WIND SCREEN - The JV field does not have a wind screen because the outfield fencing isn't strong enough to withstand strong winds if a windscreen is installed. *NEW CONCESSIONS AREA IN THE LOWER LEVEL OF THE PRESS BOX - Currently concessions are organized and served just adjacent to the press box using portable tables. The indoor area would greatly improve the ability of volunteers to organize and serve concessions especially during bad weather. In addition to the in-season games, the tournaments and games hosted by The Homerun Club throughout the spring and summer seasons bring hundreds of out of town guests into Waunakee. While at the games, these people shop and eat at the local businesses and become familiar with our community. The Homerun Club is excited to share multiple opportunities for you to help with our Capital Campaign. We hope to raise approximately $110,000. through our Pennant Program; approximately $30,000. through Scoreboard advertising; and the remaining $85,000. through personal donations. Each of these opportunities will allow community members and businesses to show your support for the Waunakee baseball team, High School athletics, and to the continued growth and positive development of our Village. The Homerun Club thanks you in advance for your generosity and dedication to our great community and it's continued efforts to Build On Tradition.

by: MOLLY WEISS PETROFF
A committee made up of students, alumni, accompanists and music teachers explored, played and studied many high quality grand pianos this summer. After much discussion, this group has recommended the purchase of the Yamaha S6X for our PAC. The Waunakee has continually committed to providing students and community members with the latest technology. whether it's software, hardware, tools or instruments, in each vocation, we want our students to work with the tools that they will experience in their lives after high school. What pianos do professional musicians use or do they play or sing along with in their music-making? The Yamaha S6X is a professional level instrument with hand made precision-crafted elements that set it apart, while keeping it more affordable for schools and other institutions. Waunakee High School senior and pianist, Wilson Kierce, had this to say about the instrument: "I'm confident this piano is the right one for our space. The quality is unmatched, and I simply haven't played a piano on its level before." Copy this link to watch Wilson jam on the piano https://shorturl.at/ejmEY Help us celebrate the legacy of music in our schools with your donation to this concert grand piano that will resonate for years to come. All donations will be recognized on a plaque in our Performing Arts Center and recognized in our May concert programs.

Gymnastics Fundraising Campaign
by: Aaron May
Thank you for checking out our page! We are the combined high school gymnastics team for Waunakee and DeForest, and we are raising money for a new spring floor and carpet as well as two new balance beams. In addition to this fundraiser, we raise money by offering services throughout the year. Our team cleans up the football stadium following home football games, participates in wreath sales. Our gymnastics families help out by managing the concessions during our Youth Night. The Waunakee-DeForest gymnastics family also runs a summer gymnastics camp for kids ranging in age from 5 to 18.

Warrior Stadium
by: WCSD Classmunity Administrator
The Renew, Expand, Tradition (RET) community capital campaign is a partnership between the Waunakee Community School District and the Waunakee Area Education Foundation to include synthetic turf and LED lighting in the renewal of "Warrior Stadium". The district has allocated funds to reshape the crown of the field, improve drainage, replace the existing turf, upgrade lighting and replace the scoreboard. The additional cost to include synthetic turf and LED lighting is approximately $900,000 which includes 1/2 the subsequent cost to replace the turf at the end of it useful life (10 to 12 years). Natural turf is limited to 75 events or games per calendar year to maintain a usable surface. This limits the stadium's use to fall football events only as approximately 50 home scrimmages and games, for grades 7 through 12 leave the turf in disrepair. Synthetic turf can handle over 250 events per year, opening the stadium for use in the spring and summer for the more than 1000 soccer players and 300+ lacrosse players in our community. Physical education classes, band, lacrosse and others will be able to use the turf ILO sharing the gym when weather and wet natural turf would otherwise force them inside. Warrior Stadium will be a host site for non-Waunakee playoff games, in multiple sports, generating revenue for local businesses before and after these events. Booster clubs will generate profits through concessions during the activities. The school district will collect rental revenue for hosting. Upgrades to the stadium complement our excellent schools and parks in Waunakee. Visitors will take time to run errands and or shop locally. 1300 additional local youth will have access to a facility that is underused due to limitations of the natural turf.

Students are encouraged to collect either a flat donation or per lap pledge. On the event day, students run/walk a looped track on the school field for 20 minutes. The students gain an appreciation of teamwork, a sense of strong school unity, and the importance of being healthy and exercising all while having fun with their fellow classmates. The PTO provides each child with a FREE Prairie Stomp t-shirt and a healthy snack on the event day.

We will celebrate the collective effort of every student! Thank you for supporting Prairie in such a positive way. As a sponsor, you can donate a set amount (flat donation) prior to the event. If you prefer to make a per lap donation, we ask that you wait to enter your donation until after the event.

Snuggle Up and Read
by: PAUL MILLER
Our goal is to provide a tie-blanket and a book for each first grader at Westside Elementary School in Sun Prairie. Westside is a community school that relies on help from its neighborhoods to help make a difference in the lives of several children that have families that may struggle from time to time. We’d like to remind and share with these first graders the joy found in reading; especially when snuggling into a comfy blanket. Each fifth grade homeroom will be making seven or eight tie blankets. This will allow each of the 97 first grade students at Westside to have his/her own blanket and at least one book. We will work in homerooms to make the blankets, but we need some help in purchasing material for the blankets. It costs about $15 to make one 4 x 6 tie-blanket as well as provide at least one book for each student. Thank you for your support of this worthwhile service project. Waunakee Intermediate School

WCSD Marching Percussion Renewal
by: JAMES SERCOMBE
The purpose of this campaign is to replace and refurbish our marching percussion equipment for Waunakee Community Middle and High School. Our percussion instruments are used throughout the year and are shared between the High School in the summer and fall, and Middle School in the spring. Many of our instruments are in disrepair and require continual maintenance to be functional. We are hoping to purchase more light-weight equipment that will be easier to carry, especially for our Middle School students. This campaign will replace our primary set of marching snares, quad toms and bass drums. We would be able to replace our oldest equipment, and refurbish our current equipment for extended use with our increasing enrollment. For more information about this campaign, and the current state of our marching percussion, please visit our Music Boosters website at https://sites.google.com/waunakee.k12.wi.us/waunakeemusicboosters/marchingpercussionrenewal Donations by check be made payable to WCSD and delivered to the Waunakee High School main office.

Through this fundraiser, our goal is to provide equipment and tools for all of our players to help them develop outstanding opportunities to achieve their very best skills.

Waunakee Area Public Arts Committee Sculpture Campaign
by: WCSD Classmunity Administrator
How do we celebrate the Waunakee Community School District's accomplishment of being on the leading edge academically and performing above state and national averages for generations? Would you like to be a part of symbolically honoring all Waunakee Community School District (WCSD) teachers and staff for their hard work and dedication in making WCSD one of the state's top school districts? Would you like to help create a legacy of "excellence in education" that has significantly benefited our community's children/families, growth and economy? In researching other communities around the world, we, the Waunakee Area Public Arts Committee, along with active and retired business leaders, educators and volunteers have come together to ask for your support in commissioning a major art work/sculpture to be placed at the Waunakee High School Southwest plaza entrance. The WCSD Board has approved the site. This is a location that thousands of families and residents in the school district and community pass, annually, attending school and community events and meetings. It is, of course, the high school students' daily path. The sculpture's theme is to celebrate teachers/staff and education excellence in WCSD. It may consist of bronze, metal, stone, etc., and will include LED or other light features. It will be a daily dedication for decades to come. Advised by CODAworx and art and sculpture professors at the UW- Madison, we have completed a national request for qualification and selected three sculptor artist finalists. These artists were recently interviewed and visited Waunakee. They will submit their final proposals by the end of November 2017. The finalists will consider seven conceptual ideas drafted by Waunakee High School advanced art workshop students. Students (art, English, engineering, marketing, economics, horticulture, Innovation Center) and teachers will interact with the finalist artist during on-site visits and via social media. There will be field trips to any local company fabricators. Working with a world class sculptor artist will be life transforming for some students. Our goal is to raise $100,000 for the project, inclusive of site work. We are at half of our goal with pledges and monies received. If you would like to donate to this fund, go to the WCSD's crowd funding site www.classmunity. com/waunakeewi and become part of preserving our excellence in education legacy and honoring the people that have helped make this community a place our great grandparents are proud of and our great grandchildren will benefit and enjoy. Thank you for your time, consideration and support! We hope your support will bring you much joy, reward and satisfaction, now, and for years to come.

Prairie Stomp
by: Susan Brown, PTO
The Prairie Stomp is a school wide welcome back activity that serves as the major fundraiser for Prairie Elementary School. The 2019 Stomp will be on Friday, September 27th, with the rain date on October 4th. This approach to fundraising avoids selling products and directs ALL profits (less Stomp expenses) back to the school by encouraging students to get pledges and run laps to raise money for the PTO programming. Money raised through this year’s Prairie Stomp will be used to purchase two Ga-ga-ball Pits (~$7300 each), birthday books for students, and classroom materials (classroom library books, book room collections, & flexible seating). Students are encouraged to collect either a flat donation or per lap pledge. On the event day, students run/walk a looped track on the school field for 20 minutes. The students gain an appreciation of teamwork, a sense of strong school unity, and the importance of being healthy and exercising all while having fun with their fellow classmates. The PTO provides each child with a FREE Prairie Stomp t-shirt and a healthy snack on the event day. The students also work together, as a school, to achieve school wide fundraising goals and earn prizes: Level 1 ($20,000): Matt Wilhelm (BMX anti-bullying message) Level 2 ($25,000): All School PJ Day Level 3 ($30,000): Principal/Associate Principal on the School Roof In addition to the school wide fundraising goals, there are other running goals: 1. Individual: The top lap running boy(s) and girl(s) in each grade level will receive a special recognition award for their strong performance. 2. Classroom: The classroom within each grade level with the highest average lap per student will earn an extra recess equipped with a bouncy house. 3. Prairie Spirit Award: For the boy and girl from each grade whom our teachers and staff feel demonstrates above and beyond effort, teamwork and attitude. We want everyone to know that the success of this event is not possible without your support and the tremendous efforts of perseverance, determination, and will-power of each student to do their very best. We will celebrate the collective effort of every student! Thank you for supporting Prairie in such a positive way. As a sponsor, you can donate a set amount (flat donation) prior to the event.

2019 Snuggle Up & Read
by: LORRIE JENSEN
Our goal is to provide a tie-blanket and at least one book for each first grader at Westside Elementary School in Sun Prairie. Westside is a community school that relies on help from its neighborhoods to help make a difference in the lives of several children that have families that may struggle from time to time. We’d like to remind and share with these first graders the joy found in reading; especially when snuggling into a comfy blanket. Each fifth grade homeroom will be making six or seven tie blankets. This will allow each of the 80 first grade students at Westside to have his/her own blanket as well as to have at least one book. We will work in homerooms to make the blankets, but we need some help in purchasing material for the blankets. It costs about $12 to make one 4 x 6 tie-blanket for each student. The blankets and books are delivered prior to the first graders going on their winter break so they can have a book and a blanket to snuggle up and read with. Thank you for your support of this worthwhile service project. Waunakee Intermediate School

Waunakee Scholarship Fund
by: Sara Bliefernicht
This year marks the 54th anniversary of the Waunakee Scholarship Fund! Since its inception in 1966, the fund has awarded $1,215,852 in scholarships to 5,715 students pursuing higher education following graduation. Last year alone, $52,455 in scholarships was awarded. This has been possible only because of the generosity of our wonderful community. As the community grows, so does our student population and the need for ongoing support of those students. The 2020 Waunakee High School graduating class consists of 317 students. It is anticipated that 85-90% of these students will attend a post-secondary education institution. As we are not able to conduct the traditional door-to-door drive this year, participating students will be reaching out to the Waunakee Community the week of May 11-17 through social media platforms, emails, texts, or distribution of flyers in mail slots. Donations can either be mailed in or given online. All money is collected and distributed to seniors who have participated in the drive and applied for this scholarship.

STOMP YOUR YARD
by: Christen Pothof
Each year the PTO has organized the Prairie Stomp Fun Run for Prairie Elementary School. The Prairie Stomp raises money for the school, promotes healthy habits, and builds community! Each grade would run laps together outside, doing their best to run or walk as many laps as they could in about 20 minutes with a DJ playing fun music. This year, due to COVID-19, we are unable to have the Prairie Stomp at school. However, we would love for Prairie Elementary students to participate at home for Stomp Your Yard!! Students and staff can choose to run, walk, bike, rollerblade, play basketball, jump rope, or whatever exercise that you enjoy and gets you outside! Our goal is to raise $10,000. This year the money will be used to get supplies out to all students, both hybrid and remote learners. Safety protocols such as quarantining and sanitizing books makes it harder for kids to get the books they want in a timely manner. We would like to help build up classroom libraries so there are more books available to students. We also strive to help teachers continue with the ongoing project of adding more culturally inclusive books to their collections. Other supplies that could be purchased with the money raised could be materials & resources to support virtual/hybrid learning and social emotional learning. Classmunity is a safe and easy way to donate to the Prairie PTO online. However, we know some families prefer sending cash and checks. Families will have the option to donate cash and checks using a collection envelope that will be sent home with hybrid students. Virtual students will receive their collection envelopes during the supply pick up on Oct. 7. The collection envelopes can be returned to the building during the following supply pick up on Oct. 28 or mailed back to the school address anytime during the month of October. Thank you for your support!

Waunakee Dance Team
by: Aaron May
The Waunakee High School Varsity Dance team provides dancers the opportunity learn various competitive dance routines to compete with the WACPC (Wisconsin Association of Cheer/Pom Coaches, Inc) organization in Regional, State and National dance competitions. In addition to competition, the Varsity Dance team performs dance routines and sidelines at various Waunakee High School athletic and student events. They also perform at Waunakee Community Events, such as the Waunafest Parade. Each year the Dance team hosts dance clinics, teaching dance routines to aspiring young dancers in our community and giving those young dancers the chance to perform in front of a hometown crowd at a high school sporting event. The Waunakee High School Varsity Dance team is currently responsible for 100% of their operating fees. Like many others, the COVID-19 pandemic has drastically reduced our ability to conduct our traditional fundraising efforts this season. Funds raised will be used to pay for competition fees, costume fees, as well as other ancillary costs. Past fundraising efforts have also resulted in the installation of a padded marley dance floor, moving our dancers off of a concrete dance surface an aiding in the reduction dance related injuries. Please consider supporting your Waunakee High School Varsity Dance team, so that we can continue to provide an opportunity for area dancers to represent the Waunakee Warriors.

Support WHS Theatre and The Pirates of Penzance
by: MOLLY WEISS PETROFF
We hope you enjoyed our production of Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Pirates of Penzance." as much as we enjoyed putting it together. The performing arts have had a difficult year, but we, like many, have found ways to keep the lights on. The Waunakee High School drama department relies heavily on tickets sales to support our programming. In fact, the district supplies only the salaries for the directors. We had many costs this year including costumes, music scores, props, choreographer stipend, and general production costs. Without ticket revenue, financing this project will be difficult. Your donation helps us maintain a balance in our accounts so that we can continue to provide programming for our students and for our community in the years ahead. Thank you for your support!

Prairie Stomp 2021
by: Christen Pothof
The Prairie Stomp is a school wide welcome back activity that serves as the major fundraiser for Prairie Elementary School. The 2021 Stomp will be on Thursday, September 30th with a rain date of October 1. This approach to fundraising avoids selling products and directs ALL profits (less Stomp expenses) back to the school by encouraging students to get pledges and run laps to raise money for PTO programming. Yearly PTO programming includes staff appreciate dinners, RAZ kids online library, and funding for special events and field trips when they become available again. In addition to our yearly programming, the 2021 Stomp will raise money for a new projector and screen for our gym! The projector and screen will connect to our current sound system and can be used to enhance lessons and allow for multimedia presentations. Students are encouraged to collect either a flat donation or per lap pledge. On the event day, students run/walk a looped track on the school field for 20 minutes. The students gain an appreciation of teamwork, a sense of strong school unity, and the importance of being healthy and exercising all while having fun with their fellow classmates. The PTO provides each child with a FREE Prairie Stomp t-shirt and a healthy snack on the event day. The students also work together, as a school, to achieve school wide fundraising goals and earn prizes. The prize levels are as follows: $10,000 - School wide PJ Day $15,000 - Movie and Popcorn in your Classroom $20,000 - Admin. in an Igloo (students can spy on their administrators as they spend a day working from an igloo in the hallway) In addition to the school wide fundraising goals, there are two running goals: 1. Individual: The top lap running individuals in each grade level will receive a special recognition award for their strong performance. 2. Classroom: The classroom within each grade level with the highest average lap per student will earn an ice cream party. We want everyone to know that the success of this event is not possible without your support and the tremendous efforts of perseverance, determination, and will-power of each student to do their very best. We will celebrate the collective effort of every student! Thank you for supporting Prairie in such a positive way. As a sponsor, you can donate a set amount (flat donation) prior to the event. If you prefer to make a per lap donation, we ask that you wait to enter your donation until after the event. The student you are pledging will let you know after the event how many laps he/she completed so you may calculate the total amount to be donated. REMEMBER, Prairie PTO is a 501(3)c organization and any donation you make to the Prairie Stomp is tax-deductible. Donations can be made anytime beginning September 1, 2021 through October 15, 2021. We cannot have a successful event without our amazing volunteers! You can sign up to help out on the day of the Stomp through the following link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090F4FABA82BA0FD0-prairie. If you’re unable to volunteer, we still encourage you to stop by, watch and cheer on your student. Signs are welcome!

2021 Snuggle Up and Read
by: LORRIE JENSEN
Our goal is to raise $1200 to provide a tie-blanket and at least one book for each first-grade student at Westside Elementary School in Sun Prairie. Westside is a community school that relies on help from its neighborhoods to help make a difference in the lives of several children that have families that may struggle from time to time. We’d like to remind and share with these first graders the joy found in reading; especially when snuggling into a comfy blanket. Each fifth-grade homeroom will be making five or six tie blankets. This will allow each of the 80 first-grade students at Westside to have his/her own blanket as well as to have at least one book. We will work in homerooms to make the blankets, but we need some help in purchasing material for the blankets. It costs about $15 to make one 4 x 6 tie-blanket for each student. The blankets and books will be delivered prior to the first graders' winter break so they can have a book and a blanket to snuggle up and read with.

Middle School Dance Team Fundrasier
by: Aaron May
The Waunakee Middle School Dance Team is a newer extracurricular activity offered to 7th and 8th graders. We had our first season in 2019 with 12 dancers! Sadly we didn't have a season in 2020 due to Covid-19. But we're back in 2021, and to celebrate all the good things coming back this year we're hoping to raise $2021 for our team! We welcome students that love to dance or want to learn how to dance. Nobody is cut during tryouts; there is a place for everyone! Throughout our season we'll learn a hip-hop and pom routine, work on strength and flexibility, as well as dance tricks and skills. The team will showcase their hard work by performing at local middle school basketball games and competitions across WI. We're lucky to have a strong high school dance team that will offer mentorship and encouragement to our dancers along the way. This program will also help prepare dancers that are interested in trying out for the high school team. As a new organization, we do not get school funding for the first three years outside of bus transportation. Funds raised will help the middle school team offer this newer program at a low cost to those who are interested. Our goal is to cover the cost of competition fees, poms, dance uniforms/costumes, shoes, garment bags, team backpacks, one team potluck, etc. We want to make the middle school dance team accessible and sustainable. Please consider donating to help us offer this creative outlet for middle school students where they can express themselves, make new friends, be part of a team, and build confidence. Go Warriors!

Sending a Little Love to Venezuela Students
by: LORRIE JENSEN
We have a student in our village who recently moved to Waunakee from Venezuela. The family has shared that the school they came from was lacking many daily classroom supplies, making it incredibly difficult for the children to learn. Therefore, this February, the Earth South Village has decided to collect many of the needed school supplies to send to the students in Venezuela. Please consider donating towards the cost of shipping. We received an estimate that the shipping cost will be over $140 a box. Thank you in advance for helping us with our service project and making a difference in the lives of others.

In our 5th grade classes, we are reading the book The Tiger Rising, by Kate DiCamillo, which features a tiger who is mistreated and in need of rescuing. In helping students understand the relevance and to connect our curriculum to a global problem, we would like to raise awareness and funds to help the local nonprofit, Wisconsin Big Cat Rescue in Rock Springs, Wisconsin. This nonprofit has a close connection with Waunakee, as many people in the community have donated their Christmas trees for the tigers to play with! As many of the tigers surrendered are older, they have increased medical needs. We would like to work towards raising $900 to contribute to the vet bills of these tigers, as well as provide them with some Boomer Balls to help keep them agile! Donations can be made online Classmunity website or to the main office at Waunakee Intermediate School between now and October 31st.

Waunakee Middle School Dance Team is Feeling 2022
by: Aaron May
We don’t know about you, but we’re feeling 2022!! The Waunakee Middle School Dance Team is a newer extra curricular activity offered to 7th and 8th graders. We had our first season in 2019 with 12 dancers! Sadly we didn't have a season in 2020 due to Covid-19, but we made a come-back in 2021 with a team of 17. This year we’ve had a lot of interest- we’ve seen about 17 new faces and have 14 potential returners. It’s very exciting to see a desire for our program and offer an activity where middle schoolers can express themselves, make new friends, be part of a team, and build confidence. We welcome students that love to dance or want to learn how to dance. Throughout our season we'll learn a hip-hop and pom routine, work on strength and flexibility, as well as dance tricks and skills. The team will showcase their hard work by performing at local basketball games and competitions across WI. We're lucky to have a strong high school dance team that will offer mentorship and encouragement to our dancers along the way. This program will also help prepare dancers that are interested in trying out for the high school team. As our team size increases, so do our overall expenses. We are raising funds to cover the cost of competition fees, poms, dance uniforms, team bonding events, and an end-of-season celebration for all. Fundraising for these team costs offsets the team fees and we truly want to keep our program accessible for everyone! To reflect our high hopes for a great season this year, we’ve set a goal of raising $2,022. Please consider donating to our fun online fundraiser. Go Warriors! ~Coach K (Kristina Maher) ~Coach P (Petra Mallon)

Sending a Little Love to Venezuela Students
by: PATRICIA NEWTON
We have a student in our village who moved to Waunakee last year from Venezuela. The family has shared that the school they came from was lacking many daily classroom supplies, making it incredibly difficult for the children to learn. Therefore, our classrooms have decided to collect many of the needed school supplies to send to the students in Venezuela. Last year, we were able to collect 7 boxes, but this year we are on track to double, or even triple, that amount! Please consider donating towards the cost of shipping, as it will cost approximately $200 a box. If we are able to raise money beyond the cost of the shipping, we would like to purchase some playground equipment to send along with the supplies. Thank you in advance for helping us with our service project and making a difference in the lives of others.

End Period Poverty
by: Barbara Salverson
Please join the Waunakee High School Justice League in their fight to remove the heavy stigmatization often associated with menstruation and the lack of education surrounding period poverty. We hope to raise awareness of those that are struggling due to inadequate access to products and education as well as provide supplies to those in need at Waunakee High School and in the community. Additionally, we would also like to break the stigma and embarrassment often associated with menstruation by making it more visible. On November 4th, 2022, from 3:45 to 7:15 p.m., Justice League will be collecting menstrual products, (tampons, pads, menstrual cups). Drop off bins will be located outside the high school main office AND outside Warrior Stadium. For those who would prefer to donate directly to the purchasing of products, you can donate right here at this Classmuity site. We hope to see you on November 4th and we hope to end Period Poverty. Menstrual Hygiene is a Human Right. PERIOD!

Turkey Earthquake Relief
by: PATRICIA NEWTON
About this Fundraiser In light of the recent earthquake in Turkey, the 5th grade village of Earth North wanted to support fundraising efforts. Turkey is the homeland for some of our classmates’ families and we wanted to show our care and concern for the people of this region. Our village has decided to conduct a read-a-thon with flat donations or pledge-per-minute for up to 2 hours of reading. All the donations collected will go to support the established organization of Direct Relief in Turkey. We chose this organization based on the fact that 100% of all donations are used solely on expenses related to supporting the earthquake. We will hold the read-a-thon in school on Thursday, February 23rd. Donations can be made via Classmunity before our scheduled date or anytime through the end of February. Thank you in advance for supporting our service project and making a difference in the lives of our friends and family in Turkey.

Waunakee High School eSports Club
by: Barbara Salverson
The Waunakee Warriors High School eSports Club is in its debut season this year. First semester we have had some success with one team placing in the top 25 in the Midwest and almost fighting its way to a championship in the "Redemption Road" bracket. 2nd semester, we look to expand on the games and teams we send to play in the nationally renowned High School eSports League. 1st semester we had two teams playing two games and 2nd semester the goal is to have over six teams playing four different games. Senior Noah Stevens founded this club to give students who do not have the physical prowess to play athletic sports a chance to compete at a local, state and nationwide level. The Waunakee eSports Club is a place for students in all grades to come and be a part of something. In order to compete, the team needs to buy season passes for each player. Help us raise the money to buy these passes, giving our competitors a chance to represent our school and community!

HERITAGE ELEMENTARY ART SHOW
by: Gina Wherley
Please join us Tuesday, May 16th from 4-7 p.m. for the Heritage Elementary Art Show! We invite you to join your little artist/s as they guide you through the halls of Heritage Elementary showcasing their masterpieces. There will also be an opportunity to take a fun family photo in our art themed photo booth and students will receive a small gift as they depart the show. Their one-of-a-kind original artwork will hopefully inspire you to make a donation to Heritage FTO. The funds raised will help support the art department as well as other efforts like school events, teacher appreciation, musical instruments, class trips, supplies, etc. While their creations are "free of charge", donations are encouraged but completely optional. Their artwork will be making its way home to decorate your refrigerators and walls either way! Our goal is to raise $6,000. We have provided some fun rewards if we reach certain benchmarks. If we raise $3,000, each class will get a popcorn party. If we reach $5,000, the FTO will be renting additional bounce houses for Field Day. Thank you for your support of Heritage Elementary and the FTO. We hope you can join us and leave inspired and proud of your creative children!
