A message from Mr. Luke Goral, High School Principal
AAA PROMise and Sheboygan Falls High School aims to reduce the number of youth under the age of 21 killed in alcohol or drug-related car crashes, with an emphasis on prom through graduation season. This is typically when many crashes occur.
AAA PROMise and Sheboygan Falls High School asks teens to not drink alcohol or take drugs and to make the adult decision not to drive after alcohol or drug use or get in a car with someone driving impaired.
Through AAA PROMise, teens and their parents are encouraged to openly communicate about the dangers of underage drinking, drug use and impaired driving. For more information on the AAA PROMise program, please visit AAA.com/PROMiseOn Wednesday, April 13, there was an all school assembly to watch the AAA PROMise presentation which highlights individuals that made a bad decision when they were in high school, how it has and will affect their lives forever. After this presentation students were asked to make the AAA promise by signing the pledge.
- I promise not to drink alcohol or take drugs.
- I promise not to drive impaired.
- I promise not to let my friends drive impaired.
- I promise my parents I will get home safely.
All students that sign the pledge before prom night ends will be put into a drawing with the opportunity to win one of five $20 chamber bucks gift certificates or a one year AAA membership. This drawing will take place the Monday after prom.

English 12 Senior Project Showcase
|
|
|
English 12 students will present their senior projects in anopen fair setting Wednesday, April 27 in the Sheboygan Falls High School cafeteria and nearby areas from 4:00-7:00 pm. Students chose a topic mid year, one that resonated with them personally, and they have been working on it ever since. First students did research to learn more, they interviewed an expert who could tell them what books and articles could not, and now they are in the design phase of their project, where they hope to address a problem or a need that exists.
A project-based learning model was used to develop this portion of the English 12 curriculum, which is now in its fifth year. Students further develop their general language and communication skills, and they also learn about important workplace habits of mind. The senior project, which will eventually make up a portion of each student’s ePortfolio, has the potential to create pathways for future success, as students are not only showing what they know but also what they can do.
Each student will personally invite his or her family to share in the celebration, and English 12 teachers hope everyone reading this article will mark their calendars for the Senior Showcase event.
The event is open to the public and all are invited to attend. Refreshments will be served. |

From the Food Service Department…
|
|
Silverware: Spring Cleaning or cleaning out some one’s home? Have old or mismatched forks & spoons? Send them to school! We prefer to use the “real stuff” instead of plastic for a better
dining experience. We also feel this will save the landfills from all the plastic this is in part of an Earth Day recycling event. You can drop in the office of any of our schools.
Garden to Fork…
Did you know that our school district has its own garden and hoop houses? We use the produce throughout the year on our serving lines and our culinary classes also use in their classrooms and caterings that they offer. In the High School our first few months we didn’t have to purchase much produce outside of the school district, we purchased from the garden on the grounds. This was also enjoyed in the Middle and Elementary Schools too. We also prep the produce in the summer for the freezer and are able to add to our recipes that we make during the year. The meals incorporate fresh, locally grown ingredients whenever possible. Students and parents will be able to note when we are using locally grown produce with the special notation on the menu and also noted right on the serving line. Our students take much pride in producing Garden to Fork produce for everyone.
