Check out today's daily announcement video to find out if Mr. Bestor or Mr. Tomczyk like milk and cereal!

Today celebrates the actual day way back in 1878 when milk was first delivered in sterilized glass bottles. So make a toast to this wonderful food, and be sure to thank the dairy farmers who produce it!

More information will be coming this week as we continue to recognize this important cause!

The Wisconsin State Senate is proud to offer a unique educational experience to high school juniors and seniors. The Senate Scholar Program is an elite program designed to challenge Wisconsin’s best students. One student from each of the 33 Senate Districts will be chosen to attend this year’s program, which will be held virtually.

The Senate Scholar Program has created an advanced government curriculum that will include virtual classroom instruction and roundtable discussion sections. Experts teach Scholars about constituent relations, research and development of legislation, and bill drafting. Scholars engage in roundtable discussions with legislative support agency directors and staff, media, and lobbyists throughout the week resulting in further insight into all facets of the legislative process. Scholars will witness the Senate debate on legislation and will also draft their own bills and amendments. 

Applications must be received no later than February 8, 2021. Applicants will then be notified of their acceptance on or before February 19, 2021. A digital copy of the application and more information can be found at: www.senatescholar.com. Please contact your State Senator, or call (608) 261-0533 and speak to Dr. Tammy Wehrle, Legislative Education and Outreach Officer, or email senatescholar@legis.wi.gov if you have any further questions.  

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS), the Medical College of Wisconsin, and the Wisconsin Institute for Public Policy and Service (WIPPS) Research Partners are providing Wisconsin youth an opportunity to share thoughts, concerns, and insights on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on students. WIPPS Research Partners will conduct a series of twenty (20) Zoom small group discussions with Wisconsin middle and high school students between January 26 and February 12, 2021. Students will be provided with a $10 gift card.

WIPPS will gather information about how students are coping during COVID-19; identify challenges, as well as examples of success and resilience; and obtain feedback about students’ learning experiences. This project will help DHS, school leaders, and community organizations improve and implement services, programs, and supports for Wisconsin youth.

If you guessed ‘Old Town Road’ by Lil Nas X was the song that has spent the most time at #1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart (19 weeks), and Mariah Carey was the artist that has cumulatively spent the most weeks at #1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart (84 weeks), you were correct!

We had a lot of great guesses, but all were stumped this week. Lets get some winners on Friday’s trivia question. 

Students - please make sure you are bringing your own masks to school, and wearing them properly! We have extra masks at each entrance for emergencies or replacement needs. They are not designed to be available for daily use.

Students - please remember to wear your student ID every day, and at all times while you are in school. It is very important that you use those IDs (examples: lunchroom, signing in and out, etc.) so we reduce any unnecessary contact.
