Bonduel Elementary School
Last year a set of laptops was shared by the three sections of fifth-graders. This year, each fifth-grade student has a laptop. The program has been a resounding success.
Students may take their laptops home each night. However, the laptops must be brought back the following morning to be checked in and inspected. Students have done a great job taking care of their laptops, as they know it is an essential part of their learning experience and is a privilege that can be lost.
Students take their laptop home for many reasons. For example, students can work on their math facts by using Reflex Math, a computer-based program. Additionally, since all writing assignments must be typed, they can get their assignment done at home.
Since all fifth-grade students have an email account, students can and sometimes are required to email their assignments to their teacher. Assignments can be graded by their teacher without printing them, thus saving paper.
We have received a lot of positive feedback from parents saying how much they like fifth-graders having their own laptops. It eases the congestion on the computer at home, plus printing can be done at school.
A huge thank you to the Bonduel School District taxpayers who supported this initiative. Lastly, an additional thank you to Mark Margelofsky, principal and director of technology, and David LaBerge, director of network operations, who have made all this happen with their expertise and dedication.
Sacred Heart Catholic School
The second- through fourth-grade classes did an excellent job with portraying the Living Stations on Holy Thursday. The students involved were Nicole Piantek, Dakota Miller, Awan Weso, Anisa Theis, Domenic Badalamenti, Brayden Waukau, Derrick Webster, Bode Frechette, Corina Ramirez, Jeffrey Lyons, Tristan Miller, Lilly Montour, Alexis Myerchin, Cristian Hernandez, Dugan Webster, Maddie Krueger, Antonio Garcia, Gaby Peralta, Andrew Mukka, Autumn Bunker and McKenzie Kaquatosh. They were directed by our own second- through fourth-grade teachers, Paula Kundiner and Holly Montoure.
The students also participated in an Easter Bunny raffle, which earned quarters for the Lenten Rice Bowls. The total earned from the raffle was over $125. It is great how the students give of their time, talent and treasures during Lent to improve the lives of others. What a blessing.

Pulaski School District
The Pulaski Community School District is excited to announce the launch of its newly designed website and promotional video.
The new website will showcase students and teachers in student and employee spotlights and includes a staff directory with professional biographies and photos of each staff member. It will also have specific pages for community members and future families that are looking to attend the Pulaski Community School District.
It will also include simple navigation to the most visited links by parents and students, such as bell schedules and lunch menus. Other features of the website are calendars with the ability to choose which schools the audience member would like to view, online capabilities to schedule a tour of any school, quick access to volunteer opportunities at the schools, and new school blogs. Parents will need to re-bookmark and re-subscribe so that they can get updates from the site.
Along with the new website, the school district worked with Creative Edge Productions of Green Bay to create a district promotional video.
