Morgan, Senior, Bay Port High School, received the WPS/Schreiber Volunteer Youth Award. Morgan began to volunteer at the age of seven when her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. She then became engaged in the Service Learning Club at Bay Port High School. Over the past four years, Morgan has surpassed 1,500 hours of volunteer services throughout Northeast Wisconsin. She has focused most of her efforts through the American Cancer Society raising money through several events, including the Relay for Life, Breast Health Walk, Runway for a Cure, American Cancer Birthday Run, and many other cancer related events. Morgan has also assisted people with a variety of health issues by volunteering at both St. Vincent and St. Mary's Hospitals. Morgan continued to volunteer even when she was facing some of her own health challenges. At the age of 14, she was diagnosed with a disease that caused a swelling of the optic nerve and fluid on the brain, causing her to lose her peripheral vision and could have caused permanent blindness. After months of doctors' appointments and tests, she underwent brain surgery. Even during this emotionally and physically difficult time, Morgan continued to volunteer. Kris Shuller and Erin Davison, Anchors for Local WFRV-TV 5 News are in the photograph with Morgan.

Students at Lineville Intermediate School had the opportunity to hear Rob Davis from the Green Bay Packer Organization. His presentation focused on empowering yourself no matter what circumstances come your way. He used the word CULTURE as an acronym for students to remember the following things: C-care about something (I don’t care are 3 dangerous words), U-understand what is expected of you( there should be no gray areas), L- have loyalty towards someone or something, T-toughness (not being tough) but who do you answer to when you are feeling down, U-utilization of everyone and everything to get you to where you want to be in life, R-respect yourself (love the person you see in the mirror every day, find a way to earn in and keep it), E-education you need it to help yourself become a confident human being who can communicate and create opportunities for yourself.

More than 5,500 kids and their parents attended the Einstein Project Science Expo at Shopko Hall on Saturday, January 12.  This year the Principles of Engineering class, one of the courses in Bay Port’s STEM Academy, partnered with Foth to create a display for the Sci-High Zone.  Brian Tomac, Technical Expert at Foth, and Mike Phillips, STEM Academy teacher at Bay Port, worked with the students to design an interactive playground demonstrating pneumatic principles. 

The Howard-Suamico School District launched a new financial literacy program for 3rd grade students.  Through a DPI financial literacy grant and the support of Northwestern Mutual Financial Network, each 3rd grade student received a Penny the Pig piggy bank.  The four slotted piggy bank teaches students the concepts of “saving,” “spending,” “donating,” and “investing.”

Financial institution representatives from Associated Bank, Bank Mutual, BMO Harris Bank, Fox Communities Credit Union and Nicolet Bank introduced the students to the program through classroom presentations.  Follow up take home activities will be on-going throughout the school year.   Students will track their spending habits and periodically report on their experience in allocating money to the four areas.

The POPS team (Peer on Problem Solving) which is Bay View's leadership group of Peer Listeners and Violence Prevention, wanted to give our Bay View Middle School students an opportunity to express their love and concern for the staff and students of Sandy Hook Elementary. The students of Sandy Hook are not returning to their building, but will return to an unused school in a nearby town. The POPS team had a banner made that simply says. YOU ARE LOVED. Bay View Staff and students signed their name on the banner. Staff and students filled out “You Are Loved-O-Gram“during their lunch hours. Our hope is that Sandy Hook would hang the banner in their new school as a welcome reminder of love not loss.
