Hortonville High School

The Link Crew leaders held a final exam cram session for freshman in the HHS cafeteria on Monday, Jan. 16th.  Kari Kurowski, one of the HHS staff advisors,  informed staff that 100 freshman attended and received help, helpful tips and the calming influence of Link Crew Leaders who had been there, done finals before and worked hard with the freshmen to help them feel prepared for exams.  Kudos to the Link Crew and thanks to their advisors for the time, talents and dedication you are bringing to helping get the freshman class off to a terrific start in high school.

A huge thank you to Tim Diestler for responding immediately when my radiator in my room decided to start squealing incredibly loud during one of my classes.  If not for you, nothing would have been accomplished all day!

Hortonville High School staff and students, under the leadership of the National Honor Society, raised over $1,500.00 before the holidays.  The money was used, in part, to buy gifts for six area children whose families are struggling.  The remainder of the money will be donated to an area food pantry.

I would like to offer a huge thank you and pat on the back to Mrs. Neyhard and the HHS Homeroom committee members. The staff on this committee have undertaken a huge task this year and given up a lot of time both during and outside of the school day to make the new homeroom transition as fun, meaningful, and painless as possible for the students and staff.  Thanks for all your time and keep up the good work!

Kevin Sours received an award from the Wisconsin Cross Country Coaches Association for coaching Cross Country for 25 years.  Thank-you Coach Sours for all of your time, dedication, and your perched sun glasses stare!  You have been a true inspiration to runners, parents, and fellow coaches.

I would like to recognize the support, kindness, care, and generousity being shown to Lisa Grantman, a first year teacher at GMS.  Lisa is struggling with a health issue and has run out of sick days.  The staff at GMS has been providing meals for Lisa, and a couple fundraisers are being organized to help financially support Lisa.  This outreach has also effected GES and HES, as well as members of the community.  There are other fundraisers in the making as well.  It is such a joy to see this sort of rally around one person that some have not even met.  The giving season continues!!

Thank you to all of the GES staff who contributed to Frosty Math night on January 10, 2012.  The turn out was amazing!  As a parent, it felt so good to know my child attends a school that creates such a fun learning environment.  As I tucked my son in that night, he said I can't wait for the next Frosty Math night!  Thank you for all you do!

Thank you to Tim Diestler and the maintenance staff for fixing a broken heater at HMS.  It took about 45 min from when I reported the heater's issue until it was fixed and pumping out the hot air.  Thanks for your super speedy skills guys!

Many thanks to the PTO at GES for hosting a cookie and gift exchange for all staff members.  We appreciate you taking the time to think of us during this busy time of year.  We know it takes a lot of time and effort to put on such a special event.  The cookies were delicious! Thanks for all you do!
