Seniors Visit Holocaust Museum
|
Students were guided through exhibits on WWII, Hitler, concentration camps, the liberation of those in the camps, and an anti-Nazi rally held in Skokie in the 1970s when an anti-semitic group marched on the city. They stood in a replica of the boxcars used to transport Jewish prisoners to the camps, noting the small window covered in barbed wire, the single pot used as a toilet, and the single bucket of water that was supposed to last up to three days for 70 prisoners. The students heard from a Holocaust survivor who lost her parents and siblings at Auschwitz Concentration Camp. She told the students of the living conditions in the ghetto before the camp, the boxcar ride to the camp, the camp itself, and the conditions of the factory she worked at making ammunition for the Nazi party during the war.

JYMS Collects PB&J for Spring Breakers
|
During the week of March 18-22, Mrs. Steiner's TA held a Peanut Butter and Jelly drive at Jack Young Middle School. They collected jars of PB&J to donate to the food pantry to help families during spring break who usually rely on hot lunch.
They created posters, a video, and announcements to get the word out about their project.
They collected 54 jars of peanut butter and 50 jars of jelly, a total of 104 items which were donated to the Baraboo Food Pantry. The food pantry was thrilled with the donation and sent thanks to the students for their efforts.
The students wish to thank everyone who donated to the drive. Upon reflection, things the students took away from the service project included, "I wasn't aware that some families might struggle to feed their kids lunch during spring break," and "It felt good to help others." #Barabooproud

Volunteer for the 2nd Annual Baraboo Food For Kidz Event!
|
The 2nd annual Baraboo Food For Kidz Event is set for March 30. For this non-profit event, the Baraboo High School Interact Club has raised $10,000 (as of a few days ago!) in an effort to help raise awareness to help end childhood hunger around the world in third world countries, and in the U.S as well. Food For Kidz is based in Steward MN, and partners with the American Red Cross when crises occur.
The Interact Club would like to thank the sponsors of this event, and also to ask for volunteers - young and old! If someone is in 4th grade or older, they are welcome to come and help package the dried food; it's easy and fun with a DJ to keep momentum going. Please contact Rachel Lichte (608) 393-0971 or Brayden Turner (608) 350-6448 ASAP if you have any questions or want to sign up yourself or a group for the event, or click the above link.

The Baraboo Book Nook: March
|
The Baraboo Book Nook: Join us as we celebrate a nation of diverse readers with these recommended books, authors, and teaching resources that represent an array of experiences and cultures from the National Education Association.
Title:
Malala's Magic Pencil
Author:
Malala Yousafzai
Illustrator:
Kerascoët (Little, Brown Books for Young Readers)
For: Elementary readers
Summary:
As a child in Pakistan, Malala made a wish for a magic pencil. She would use it to make everyone happy, to erase the smell of garbage from her city, to sleep an extra hour in the morning. But as she grew older, Malala saw that there were more important things to wish for. She saw a world that needed fixing. And even if she never found a magic pencil, Malala realized that she could still work hard every day to make her wishes come true.
