Prairie Stomp 2025
by: Erin Mayrand
The Prairie Stomp is a school wide welcome back activity that serves as the major fundraiser for Prairie Elementary School. The 2025 Stomp will be on Thursday, September 25th with a rain date of September 26th. 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 FTO programming. Yearly FTO programming includes staff appreciation dinners, RAZ kids online library, and funding for special events and field trips. In addition to our yearly programming, the 2025 Stomp will be raising money to finalize the purchase and install of 3 new gaga pits, to purchase a new bird cam, birdhouses and other garden items, a pergola for the outdoor classroom, and to expand our fine arts programming with special assemblies. 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 school unity, and the importance of being healthy and exercising all while having fun with their fellow classmates. The FTO 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 - Staff dress in costumes for a day! $15,000 - All-school assembly with guest performer! $20,000 - Grade level "big screen" movie day! For each grade, the classroom with the highest AVERAGE laps per student will earn an extra recess with music. 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, your donation may be tax-deductible. You are able print off a receipt for your records.

AED Fundraiser
by: NICK CONRAD
We come together with heavy hearts and a shared sense of purpose to honor the memory of Reed Ryan, a beloved member of our school and football program. Reed tragically passed away due to sudden cardiac arrest in November 2023 during an off-season training session while attending the University of Minnesota Duluth. While our facilities currently have some AEDs in place, we believe that increasing their number is crucial in minimizing precious time lost during emergencies. To that end, we’re launching a fundraiser to equip our community athletic facilities with additional Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) - life-saving devices that could prevent such a tragedy from happening again. Sudden cardiac arrest is an unpredictable and devastating event. However, with immediate intervention, lives can be saved. AEDs are essential tools that can make the difference between life and death. Our goal is to ensure these devices are readily accessible throughout our district's athletic facilities. By expanding access to AEDs, we are not only safeguarding the lives of our students, staff, and visitors but also creating a lasting legacy for Reed. We humbly ask for your support in this important initiative. Your contribution, no matter the size, will help us achieve our goal of providing the necessary equipment to protect our school community. Together, we can transform this heartbreaking loss into a beacon of hope, making our school a safer place for all. Thank you for your generosity and commitment to making a difference in the memory of Reed.

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.

Our 5th-grade students have a unique opportunity to learn about history through a live performance by the 1st Brigade Band, a Civil War reenactment group based in Watertown. According to their website, "In 1864, eighteen men from the Brodhead Brass Band enlisted in the Union Army and became the 1st Brigade Band, 3rd Division, 15th Army Corps. The 'Tradition of Excellence' that these men established more than 150 years ago continues today." We are excited to bring the band to our school in April. To make this experience possible, we kindly request your support in fundraising. We aim to raise $1000 to cover the expenses of bringing the 1st Brigade Band to our school on April 30th. Any contribution, big or small, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your consideration and support! Sincerely, WIS 5th Grade Teachers

Prairie Stomp 2024
by: SAM BRUNSON
The Prairie Stomp is a school wide welcome back activity that serves as the major fundraiser for Prairie Elementary School. The 2024 Stomp will be on Thursday, September 26th with a rain date of September 27th. 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 FTO programming. Yearly FTO programming includes staff appreciation dinners, RAZ kids online library, and funding for special events and field trips. In addition to our yearly programming, the 2024 Stomp will be raising money for an outdoor fitness course (two year goal), book walk, and updates to the gaga pits. 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 school unity, and the importance of being healthy and exercising all while having fun with their fellow classmates. The FTO 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 - Staff dress in costumes for a day! $15,000 - All-school assembly with guest performer! $20,000 - Grade level "big screen" movie day! For each grade, the classroom with the highest AVERAGE laps per student will earn an extra recess with music. 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, your donation may be tax-deductible. You are able print off a receipt for your records. Donations can be made anytime beginning August 23 through October 11, 2024.

5th Grade 2024 Snuggle Up and Read Campaign
by: PAUL MILLER
Our entire fifth grade team's 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 five or six tie blankets. This will allow each of the 78 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 as well as provide a student-decorated gift bag for each blanket and book. 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

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! Donations can be made online on the Classmunity website or to the main office at Waunakee Intermediate School between now and March 1st. Thank you for helping bring awareness to the needs of animals in our community.

Staff appreciation
by: Patricia Coffren
As we look forward to another exciting and productive school year, we want to show our appreciation for the dedicated teachers and staff who work tirelessly to support our children. In the past, we've asked families to drop off items for meals, but this year we're making it easier by starting a "Classmunity" fund. This fund will be used to provide occasional meals and other tokens of appreciation for our amazing teachers and staff throughout the year. Instead of item drop-offs, we're simply asking for monetary donations, which allow us to plan and organize everything more efficiently. Your support is so deeply valued, and every contribution, big or small, will go a long way in helping us show our gratitude for all that they do. Thank you for being a crucial part of this effort and for your continued generosity!

Thank you for your continued support of Waunakee Baseball! Your generous contributions directly enhance the program by funding field improvements, essential maintenance, and facility upgrades, such as improved backstop netting, a JV field warning track, and a new concession stand. Donations also support specialty equipment, including updated pitching machines, iPads for game analysis, and safety gear. Additionally, your support helps provide uniforms, destination games for the varsity team, away game meals, and coaching development. Every donation not only funds these initiatives but also gives the boosters flexibility to seize future opportunities for the program.
