Tornado & Severe Weather Awareness Week | |
|
This year, Tornado and Severe Weather Awareness Week in Wisconsin will take place April 8-12. This annual campaign encourages everyone to prepare for the tornadoes and severe storms the state frequently experiences during the spring and summer months. It is also an opportunity for all of Wisconsin to participate in statewide tornado drills at 1:45 p.m. and 6:45 p.m. on April 11.
The School District of Reedsburg will participate in the 1:45 p.m. statewide tornado drill on April 11. If there is a threat of severe weather in Wisconsin on that day, the drill will be postponed until Friday, April 12. The drill will take place in all other conditions, including non-severe weather (Clouds, rain, dark sky, scattered thunderstorms, etc.). If severe weather is also expected on Friday, the drill we be cancelled.

Plant some seeds, Sprinkle a little rain, Add a little Sun... | | |
|
... then cross our fingers for the Prairie Ridge prairies to begin growing! Last Summer/Fall, the prairie sites were prepped for spring planting (spraying to kill off the competing grasses).
Seed planting was done on Friday, March 1. A no-till drill process was used. A no-till drill is a very heavy drill with a specialized disc set-up that cuts through the plant residue. It places the seed at the correct depth and then presses the soil back over it for good soil-to-seed contact.
It will take 2-3 years before we start seeing the flowers of our labor. The smaller area along the bus entrances will be a grass prairie mix. The large area to the south end of the property is a "bird & butterfly" prairie mix that includes additional forbs (flowers) and pollinators. Forty-four species of flowers and 15 species of grasses have been planted.

The 2024 Maple Syrup season as quick and successful! Sap totals for the two weeks of collection were over 1,200 gallons. Sugar content in the last few refractometer tests was at 1%. This means the ratio was more like 80:1 instead of 40:1. Although the season was quick, syrup production goals were met, and all fourth-grade students were able to visit the sugar bush twice.
Students and volunteers celebrated their success with a pancake breakfast with the newly made syrup.
Thank you to Mr. Peetz and all the volunteers who helped make this a sweet learning experience for the students!

Electric Safety Hot Line Demonstration | | |

That's one way to cook a hot dog! | |
|
Oakdale Electric made a visit to our school to present an Electrical Safety Hot Line Demonstration to our Third Grade students. The purpose of the demonstration is to make students aware of the hazards of electricity and the equipment while also keeping it fun and interactive. Two linemen from the co-op talk about their jobs working with electricity, power outage causes, restoration efforts, and inform students what to stay away from.
There were some sparks and noise during this 30-45-minute presentation, which left a lasting impact and raised awareness about electricity. The demonstration is on a three-year rotation across OEC's five-county service area.
