WHAT SPARKS YOUR IMAGINAT ION?Better yet, what would spark your imagination if you were still a

child? These are questions that we ask each and every day at the

Wausau School Foundation. Why? Because sparking innovation,

imagination, and creativity; helping students and teachers reach far

beyond the four walls of the classroom and the walls of their own

minds; providing the experiences, the materials, the very spark that

fires their quest for learning is what we do.

Whether it’s helping middle schoolers understand that they are

somebody - to putting innovative technologies in the hands of

students, the Wausau School Foundation has its roots deeply

planted in the rich soil that nurtures and grows success for our

students and teachers.

We believe it is our responsibility and our privilege to prepare the

next generation to reach for an exciting future. Their success will

create vital families and communities. Sometimes all it takes is one

spark. One idea. One dream. One group of people who say, “Yes!

We can help you reach your goal!”

Each of us can do something — we can bring one spark.

Together, we can create light that burns brightly for all to see.

Barb Klofstad Kristine Vanden Heuvel

President, Board of Directors WSF Director

We know our classrooms are

laboratories for great ideas because,

year after year, teachers ask us to

support their incredible learning

programs through Reach for the Stars

Grants. Over the years these grants

have touched students in every school

across the Wausau School District.

Wausau School Foundation believes

in supporting teachers’ dreams. We

believe in supporting the development

of ideas that can be shared and

replicated throughout our schools. We

believe in relevant instruction where

children can take the lead in their own

education. We know teachers have

great ideas—ideas that should be

celebrated and supported. Here are

‘sparks’ made possible by our donors

during the 2012-2013 school year:

Nooks and E-Books

Books can put the world at our

fingertips. NOOKS can put the world of

books in our hands.

That is what is happening at Riverview

Elementary School in partnership with

Todd Jahnke of Barnes and Noble in

Wausau. Students in Carrie Adam’s

second grade class and Laura Witt’s

fifth grade class have spent the year

building a passion for reading through

the use of NOOK e-readers. Their goal

was to get students excited about and

engaged in reading by having books

readily available on the NOOKS. In

Laura’s 5th grade, the entire class could

access a book for reading, discussion

and writing; Carrie’s second grade class

had NOOK books set up in themes to

enhance particular subject areas.

Second graders largely access picture

books, often nonfiction titles. Some

children have begun the process of

reading chapter books. Second grader

Allison says, “The best part about

having the NOOKS is you can read

nonfiction books, chapter books, or any

book you want! You get to pick it!”

Besides e-books, the NOOKS internet

accessibility also makes it a go-to

tool for classroom research. Students

can delve into resources such as

encyclopedias, almanacs, as well as

study applications for math and other

subjects. Having the NOOKS creates

more learning time because research

can be completed in the classroom.

How are the students doing with their

NOOKS? Both teachers say the kids

are naturals. When it comes to using

technology, their comfort level and

ability to navigate the devices helps

keep them engaged in learning. The

two classes teamed up as reading

buddies - fifth graders helping second

grade buddies learn even more tips and

techniques for using their NOOKS.

Sparking student success and

imagination is at the heart of the

Wausau School Foundation. Teachers

and students at Riverview Elementary

School say this opportunity has

impacted learning from the day the

NOOKS arrived.

Fifth grader Jake sums up the power of the NOOKS grant,

“It’s a one in a million chance to read more and more books every day!”

Empowering Learners through Social Media: Digital Cameras in Today’s ClassroomAt Wausau East High School Library Media Center,

students use Photostory, PowerPoint, iMovie, and

other applications to generate projects that showcase

their learning.

Meeting the Needs of One Child at a TimeStettin Elementary benefits from the addition of

iPads and educational apps. Daily podcasts increase

communication between school and home –

strengthening families’ role as first source of learning.

Moving Social Work into the Future with iPadsAcross the District, elementary school social workers

use new iPads to provide an alternative method

of linking families to community resources. Social

workers also use technology with students to model

positive behaviors, core values, teach social skills,

provide sensory breaks, and facilitate student

rewards.

Common $ense Technology: Repurposing, Re-imaging, and Spending Less to Get More—For EveryoneThe addition of 20+ Google Chromebooks in the John

Muir Middle School Library Media Center provides a

unique opportunity for student research, projects,

and presentations.

Personalizing Our WorldStudents at Wausau East and Wausau West High

Schools and Maine Elementary create, write,

design and personalize messages using bookmarks,

mousepads, and anti-bullying posters.

Riverview’s Rockin’ Review

Riverview Elementary staff ‘spark’ opportunities for

students to create “Big News Reports” using iPads.

Students generate, gather, publish, and broadcast

digital materials for the school webpage, newsletter,

and all-school P.B.I.S. assemblies.

Taking it to the Next Phase the SMART WayWith SMART Board technology, staff at Riverview

Elementary School deliver instruction, model, discuss,

practice, and ultimately allow the students to take

charge of their assigned tasks, while working in a large

group setting.

Silver Sneakers Foster Fluency

Amy Smet’s students at Maine

Elementary School partnered

with residents at the Village

Cooperative throughout the

school year to create interpersonal

relationships that spanned

generations.

I AM SOMEBODY Schools need to be safe places for kids—

all kids. John Muir Middle School teacher

Sarah Murphy, along with colleagues from

both John Muir and Horace Mann intend

to do everything possible to help create

safe school environments where every

student can say, “I AM SOMEBODY.” This

grant launched an anti-bullying program

that have students not only speaking up

but also standing up for one another.

During the past school year, the I AM

SOMEBODY grant funded speakers

whose lives were tragically altered

because of bullying. Speaker John

Halligan’s 13 year-old son, Ryan, took his

own life in response to ongoing bullying

and cyberbullying. Speaker Kirk Smalley

lost his son, Ty, at age 11 to suicide after

relentless bullying became unbearable.

The presentations to all middle school

students and the community had a

profound impact to take action

against bullying.

Students studied the book and movie,

Bully. Throughout the year, students and

staff participated in five anti-bullying

breakout sessions in their homerooms

and both middle schools started Stand for

the Silent chapters.

Today, students are not only more apt to

report bullying when it happens, but to

step in—no longer being bystanders,

but upstanders.

Reach for the Stars was not only the

catalyst for this anti-bullying movement in

our schools, but also in the community. A

community-wide Anti-Bullying Task Force

was established in 2012. A new anti-bully

website, www.weareupstanders.com

was developed.

I AM SOMEBODY recently received

support from Marshfield Clinic to fund

the first year of a three-year program

called Rachel’s Challenge - a program

about changing attitudes and

restoring relationships.

Stand for the Silent member Abby Haling says:

“I started to discuss (the schools anti-bullying efforts) with my parents,” Abby said. “And they thought this would be a good idea for me to get involved in Stand for the Silent.” Abby has friends who have been verbally bullied and she knows how painful it can be.

SUPPORTED PROGRAMS

John A. Waldron Student Assistance Fund

When the Wausau

School District lost

John Waldron in

2006, his colleagues,

friends and family

established a fund

to recognize the

difference his life made to the children

he served. As Special Education and

Pupil Services Director, John focused on

helping children reach their potential.

The John A. Waldron Student Assistance

Fund honors John’s legacy by providing

small grants to help WSD students.

The fund provides medical and dental

care, nutrition, transportation, clothing

and personal items to children in need.

It supports student participation in

education opportunities outside the

classroom. In almost 7 years, the fund

has already assisted with over $22,000

in grants to students in need. Teachers,

student support professionals, and

administrators know this is a resource

when no other resources are available.

School Counselor Andy Grimm said, “Thank you very much. This was a great example of whole District collaboration to help a family in need.”

School Tools 4 Kids

Working in partnership with the

Longfellow Administration staff Casual

for a Cause, School Tools 4 Kids was

developed in 2010 to provide school

supplies to students in need. Supplies

can be accessed throughout the school

year by District staff and administrators.

Over $2,200 has been raised for school

supplies to meet our students’ needs

since the program’s inception.

SPARKING SUCCESS FOR CHILDRENSometimes making a difference in the education of children means getting back to basics—making sure students are healthy and ready to learn; ensuring they have the proper tools to learn. WSF is home to programs that address issues interfering with childrens’ ability to fully participate in learning. These programs make all the difference in the lives of countless WSD students.

PASS THROUGH FUNDSThe Wausau School Foundation is the

financial home for exceptional programs

impacting students across the District.

Partners In Innovation

For a decade, this visionary group of six

education entities has provided grant

funds in support of business education

partnerships throughout central WI

schools. Thanks to the Judd S. Alexander

Foundation and area businesses, these

grants have provided collaborative

opportunities for schools and business

partners to enhance learning for career

preparation and workforce development.

Nearly $60,000 in Leadership in Action

grants have been awarded. In 2012, final

grants were awarded for:

Words To Wake The WorldWausau Engineering and Global Leadership

Academy in partnership with Mary Ellen

Marnholtz, Words To Wake the World.

This grant supports the opportunity

for members of the yearbook team at

Wausau EGL to learn about publishing in

a digital world.

Warjack Manufacturing Wausau West and Wausau East Technology

and Engineering Education Departments

in partnership with Dave Eckman, Wausau

Chamber and area businesses.

In partnerships with the Community

Foundation of North Central Wisconsin,

3M, and other area foundations, PII has

added funds in support of a student-run

manufacturing business for Wausau high

school students.

Connie Meurett taught first grade

at Lincoln Elementary School and

knew some students lagged behind

their peers. She knew the negative

impact ‘lagging behind’ created as

students moved from learning to

read to reading for learning in 2nd

grade. This devoted teacher started

something special to close the

learning gap; and Lincoln Elementary

School’s Camp Connie was born. It

wasn’t called that at first, but when

Connie Meurett passed away in

spring 2012, her family created a

memorial fund and the Lincoln staff

stepped up to keep the summer

learning alive.

Camp Connie runs concurrently

with the WSD Summer School

program. It serves children moving

from first to second grade who need

more academic help and learning.

Mornings look a lot like regular

summer school, focusing on reading

and math. But, as their teachers

tell them, “Work hard because this

afternoon is going to be

something special.”

Those afternoons are filled with

experiences and activities that

bring each location to life and

student journaling helps capture the

experiences, emotions, and

lessons learned.

Molly Meurett, Camp Connie lead

teacher, says her mother really

wanted to reach children while they

were young enough to be able to

catch up academically with their

peers. The camp works to motivate

children to work toward being on

grade level when they come back to

school for second grade. Molly says

the most rewarding thing is seeing

kids so excited about these new

experiences.

WSF is privileged to facilitate

Connie’s legacy through the Camp

Connie Fund. Like Connie Meurett’s

warmth and caring, being able to help

grow this gift is like sharing a warm

chocolate chip cookie and a glass of

milk with a friend.

Bringing stories of living history to middle and high school students across Marathon County for over five years. This successful program, developed by a group of educators from across the county, reached over 2,000 students and 600 community members with its 2013 presentation: William Kamkwamba—The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind. His message of determination, curiosity, research, and ingenuity caught and held the attention of students and adults alike. He encouraged everyone to follow their own dreams and not to be deterred by the doubt of others. Dozens of businesses, organizations and individuals provide financial support for this special education experience.

A Walk in Their Shoes

Molly Meurett says her mother would be proud that Camp Connie is thriving. “On swimming days, the kids are just buzzing.”

for helping her learn to think critically, to have confidence, and to be

intellectually curious.

Slayton said, “And the biggest thank you to Miss Pat Hedblom. Miss

Hedblom said, ‘Your brain has its own path for problem solving—trust yourself.’

What a life changer that was.”
