Just because it's December, doesn't mean we are done feeling thankful! In case you missed it, here is our 2022 gratitude video!

Social Spotlight: Great work, Irving!

Franklin Elementary Spotlight!

This fall, Franklin Elementary 4th and 5th grade classes partnered with Big Deal Burgers on a school project! 

The driving question for this project was: How can we, as entrepreneurs and confectioners, use our mathematical and analytical skills to develop a flavor of the day for Big Deal Burgers & Custard that is unique and profitable?

Working in teams of 3-4, students analyzed the success and cost effectiveness of different custard flavors at Big Deal Burgers. Students developed a new flavor of the day based on their research. Students presented their new flavors to a market research focus group, wrote persuasive letters to Big Deal Burgers as to why they should choose their flavor, and gave a sales pitch to Big Deal Burgers who decided which flavors to add to their menu!

In this project, students worked on the following skills:

• Persuasive Writing
• Economics (profit, sales, product markets)
• Decimal operations and comparisons 
• Place Value Understanding
• Measurement Conversions
• Academic Mindset
• Growth Mindset
• Collaboration

The winning teams flavors were featured on the menu at Big Deal Burgers & Custard in West Allis. SNOW DAY CHOCOLATE BLAST ~ FROZEN WONDERLAND

Professional Development

We know that professional development is an investment of effort, time, and monetary resources. We also know it is worth the investment in helping our educators meet their goals!

Additionally, many of our speaker experiences and trips are often grant-funded which has allowed our educators to have meaningful experiences without an additional cost to our district.

Hear from our WAWM educators about what Professional Development means to them:
