Honoring our Veterans
The students and staff of Sheboygan Falls Middle School will again be honoring local veterans at their annual Veterans Day program.  This year’s event will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 10, beginning outside at 8:30 a.m. with the traditional flag raising and gun salute. The program will continue in the school gym.  Refreshments for the veterans will follow the program in the school cafeteria.  All veterans and patriotic citizens are welcome to attend.

A Glimpse at the Past
The fifth grade classes recently participated in the “Trades & Occupation of the 1860’s in Sheboygan County” program at the Sheboygan County Historical Museum.

Sixth grade guest visitor

“Archaeologist” Marta Barkov, a member of the Russian team that found the remains of the Romanov family, visited Ms. Tetschlag’s and Mr. Debbink’s classrooms to discuss how they went about excavating the site near Yekaterinburg. She answered students’ questions about archaeology and the Russian family that was executed. The students are learning about primary artifacts.
Marta claimed to have a “twin” sister working at Sheboygan Falls Middle School, Literacy Specialist Heidi Kressin.

Read 180 room hosts guest speakers
        
The Read 180 eighth graders appreciated Officer Hall’s time and talent as he discussed the work he does with criminal investigations to supplement our study of crime lab science.  We learned a career such as this requires excellent communication, observation and writing skills.

Eighth grade beach restoration project
On October 19 the eighth grade class worked in cooperation with the Alliance for the Great Lakes, YMCA, and community partners on a beach restoration project at Deland Park in Sheboygan.  The ultimate goal was the planting of 10,000 new plants to help with erosion and create a natural dune system. This project allowed our students to extend their learning beyond the classroom walls.
