SFHS Falconer – May 2017
May 2017

SFHS Art Show

Greetings!
Finish Strong!
It is the time of year to encourage all students to finish strong! The semester grades go on your child’s transcript and I hate seeing students throw away a semester of hard work by finishing the last couple of weeks poorly. The end of each year can be and extremely enjoyable and rewarding when students stay on track and focus on the end goal.
Plan Ahead!
This is a great time of year to sit down with your child and review his or her ACP (Academic and Career Plan). SFHS offers several work-based and service learning opportunities that prepare students for their futures. Sit down with your student and review these opportunities at our school counseling site. Feel free to contact your child’s school counselor or me with any questions.
Go Falcons!

 What Happened @ SFHS in April 2017?

Students from Mrs. Meyer’s Introduction to Education class were learning about health care careers offered at Lakeshore Technical College.
Sophomore students involved in Workbound were busy participating in mock interviews conducted by business professionals, while junior students learned about scholarship opportunities offered by Lakeland College and LTC.
The Sheboygan Falls High School FBLA would like to thank our Buffalo Wild Wings and the community for their support during a recent fund raising night at the restaurant. The funds raised will help out Network Design team compete at the National Leadership Conference in Anaheim this summer.

Science in Action!

Lakeland University had some special visitors in early May, when a Sheboygan Falls High School chemistry class conducted an experiment at LU.
Our Science 9 students had the task of building a maze out of recyclables from around their house, through which a marble would travel, then exit the maze and travel freely for 75 cm and stop in a bulls-eye type target.
MilliporeSigma has a chemistry outreach program called “Curiosity Labs”.  They worked with our CAPP Chem and Chemistry in the Community classes on a special Chemiluminescence Lab.

Prom and Graduation Season Calls for Extra Care and Need to Discuss Drunk Driving
According to Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), excessive teen drinking kills about 4,300 people each year – that’s more than all illegal drugs combined. Two out of three underage drinking deaths do not involve a vehicle. The earlier a young person begins drinking, the more likely they will become drunk drivers and alcohol dependent as an adult. And MADD notes that three out of four teens say their parents are the leading influence on their drinking choices.
MADD is encouraging parents to have conversations with their teens about the dangers of underage drinking as part of its Power of Parents program. MADD is offering an online flipbook on how to talk with teenagers about alcohol. Online resource for parents

Beginning the Community Conversation about Mental Health and Wellness

A Community Conversation was held in early March to open lines of communication with interested community members about mental health and wellness.

On Monday March 6, the District hosted “Think Haus,” an initiative of Lakeland University to engage in community conversations. The evening’s topic was mental health and wellness and the importance of information and community involvement in finding support for those affected. The event was held at the Sheboygan Falls Memorial Library and was open to the public.
