From the Desk of Ellen Knippel, Principal
Dear Parents,
I am here to answer the Million Dollar Question: do we have to make up any school days in June? At this time, the answer is, "No, provided we don't have any more snow days!" If we do, I will need to get creative on making up lost student minutes. The state has a required number of days we MUST be in school - 175. I have calendared 180 days so we are fine with this requirement. The issue will come in if we need to make up specified minutes - especially for 7th and 8th grade, as they have a higher requirement. We will just have to wait and see if we have any more snow days. Keep your fingers crossed that we won't! We have a few options - none which have been decided upon! I will keep everyone informed!

A Conversation about Sex Trafficking in OUR Communities
Tuesday, March 19 | 6:30 - 8:30 pm
@ St. Anthony on the Lake Catholic Church
W280 N2101 Prospect Ave., Pewaukee, WI 53072
Human trafficking IS modern day slavery and it's happening right here in OUR Communities.
Human Sex Trafficking is big business for organized crime and for local pimps. Its one of those crimes that are hidden in plain sight - meaning, most of the victims go to school, church and live in stable homes. It`s hard to see they are even a victim. Research shows that the average age of recruitment into the commercial sex industry is 12-14 years old and that victims come from every race, ethnicity and socioeconomic background.
Come learn how youth and adults are being coerced into slavery, why they can't see their way out, and how we can keep our families safe.
Keynote Speaker: Theresa Flores
- Best-selling author of "The Slave Across the Street," survivor of sex trafficking and nationally known advocate. Flores shares how she was enslaved at the age of 15 while living with unsuspecting parents in an upper-middle-class suburb.
Brad Schimel Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge,
former Wisconsin Attorney General
Paul Farrow: Waukesha County Executive
Followed by a Panel of Experts
ALL ARE WELCOME. Suggested Age: 13+
Please like and share Facebook event at the link below
Key Sponsors: Waukesha County Tourism Initiative, Catholics for Peace and Justice, KOHLS
