SFHS Falconer – May 2018
May 2018
Principal’s Message:
Parents of SFHS,
It is that time of year – please encourage your child to finish the school year strong! I always tell students, “Don’t ruin 16 good weeks on 2 bad ones.” 
 
I have had the great privilege of being Associate Principal and Principal in the School District of Sheboygan Falls for the past 10 years. I would like to thank each of you for your support in creating a positive learning environment for students.
I will carry many great memories with me and cherish the relationships. Thank you!
 
Sincerely,
Luke Goral
 
Senior Showcase
 
On Wednesday, April 25th, the Seniors in Ms. Stahlkopf’s and Mr. Ford’s English 12 classes participated in the Senior Showcase. These Seniors presented the culmination of months of hard work to their parents, teachers, classmates, and the community. The Senior Project is a multi-step project aimed at solving a problem the students see. Everything from fishing line that tangles too easy to informing people about the problems with testing cosmetics on animals were explored. Students researched the problem: its history, its causes, and its effects and presented this information in a research style paper. They then explored how to solve the problem. The solutions ranged from awareness websites and informative classes to actual physical objects. The prototype solutions were presented to classmates, critique was received and evaluated, changes were made, and the final solution presented at the various booths around the High School.

CAPP Biology Bacterial Plasmid DNA Lab
 
 
This video shows our CAPP Biology students performing a Microbiology Laboratory at Lakeland University. Our students learned how to perform “mini-prep” protocols to extract and purify the plasmid pRS316 DNA from E-coli bacteria. They also performed restriction digests to cut the pRS316 DNA at specific sequences; agarose gel electrophoresis to visualize the DNA fragments by length; and analyzed the data to create a map of the plasmid DNA.
Chamber’s Breakfast and Bagels held at SFHS
 
 
‌
Sheboygan Falls Chamber Main Street recently held their Breakfast and Bagels Meeting at SFHS. Our Culinary 3 students and Ms. Woodworth provided the meal. Both band students, under the direction of Mr. Beekhuizen, and choir students, under the direction of Mr. Wojciehowski, entertained our local business representatives. Thank you to all involved!
 
NEWSPA Event
 
Sheboygan Falls High School is back in the game at NEWSPA through UW-Oshkosh! Our quarterly magazine publication , The Talon, took 3rd overall, which is great for it being our first year doing this type of publication! Students also took home all awards for our online newspaper. Overall, students also took home 18 awards in various divisions. Congratulations!
 
Pizza Cutter Project
 
Mr. Berlin’s and Mr. Hughes’s STEM Geometry students went through the engineering and design process to design an ergonomic pizza cutter. Students used Solidworks to complete their virtual design, then download the file to one of the rapid prototyping machines to produce the handle along with the CNC plasma machine to cut the stainless steel blade and neck. Working in collaboration with Mrs. Meyer, Culinary Arts I students put the cutters to the test with pizzas they made during class.
