DE SOTO AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT MISSION STATEMENT:
Dedicated to Learning and Growth;
Striving for Excellence
Seniors celebrated the end of their school year and the beginning of life after high school at the De Soto Area
School District Graduation Commencement Ceremony May 23. This time of year is always filled with great
joy and celebration. There is so much to celebrate at De Soto. The completion of the new LMC (Library Media Center), which has been in use since April 8, is just one of the great things that happened this school year.
The new gymnasium was closed up (walls and roof completed) so it would be water tight before Memorial
Weekend. This is an exciting time for students, parents and the community. Both current and future De Soto
students will have a great facility to be proud of for many years to come. Graduates of De Soto can also be
proud of the facility improvements and future accomplishments of De Soto Pirates. Thanks to the community
for the great support.

De Soto Biology Club Has Been Busy This Spring!
By: Peggy Miller
On Thursday, April 17th, we had five students come
in on their day off to put together four wooden picnic
tables and seal them. These picnic tables will be a
part of the new outdoor classroom behind the football
field. The tables were not the easiest to put together,
but the students figured it out and tools/advice were
provided by the Tech Ed Department. The students
became very familiar with and comfortable with using
power tools by the end of the day!

newly put together table.
On April 26th, we had four students help with some
tree planting on the hill behind the football field. We
planted a large number of trees last spring, but last
summer was hard on the trees, so we replanted trees
in areas where few trees survived. These trees will be
used as shade for the outdoor classroom and used in
tree identification lesson plans, as well as for other
studies and in art classes. Students that helped that
morning were Brady Bedward, Jason Fremstad, Tristan Gentry and Denver Peyton.

Engineering Expo
By: Kevin Campbell
On Thursday, April 3rd, De Soto High School students
in Mr. Campbell’s Applied Science class traveled to the
University of Wisconsin - Platteville’s Engineering Expo to take part in the Model Bridge building contest.
Pat Lown, Austyn Kuhnke and Nick Wang constructed
successful bridges made of balsa wood.

On May 10th, Biology Club members, Brady Bedward, Kameron Perry and Courtney Sandy worked on
highway clean-up. Altogether ten bags of garbage
were picked up on the Highway 82 hill in De Soto,
which is a lot from the winter months! The disturbing
part was the amount of empty alcoholic cans/bottles
that were picked up on such a dangerous part of Highway 82. We also noted that the ticks are out in full
force this spring!
The bridges were tested on how many pounds of force
they could withstand before breaking. Both bridges
submitted were highly rated. The 111 gram bridge
built by Austyn and Nick was the most successful,
holding 405 pounds of force before breaking. The students also took in many engineering exhibits, displays,
lectures and competitions during the day.

Cara Filler Sends A Message
DHS SAC
By: Melissa Fladhammer
Thanks to the generosity of Kwik Star in Lansing, Organic Valley, Steve’s Country Meats, Vernon Electric,
Gundersen Medical Foundation, and the Children’s Advisory Board of Crawford County, the high school
SAC was able to host Cara Filler on April 15th, 2014. Cara spoke to both the middle school and the high
school about making the right choices for yourself and for others, standing up for what is right, and also
showed students the consequences of making the wrong decisions. Her stories and her sense of humor made
her presentation both fun and memorable.

Second Grade Field Trip to Norskedalen
Prairie View Staff in Marathon
By: Amy Hysel
By: Ev Wick
The Second Graders from Prairie View and Stoddard
had a great (though wet!) field trip to Norskedalen,
Apr. 24. We attended their Environmental Days
which included 4 interesting stations. We met
Smokey the Bear, but skipped the rainy hike! We saw
many skins and skeletons of animals of Wisconsin in
the ‘Education Room’. A man named ‘Blueberry
Jack’ shared about life long ago; sharing his arrowheads and other artifacts. There was also a forester
who told us about his job working with trees. He
showed us how they measure trees without climbing
them, and how they can tell how old a tree is without
cutting it down. The highlight of the day, though, was
a real live bald eagle, named Angel! We were able to
sit within 10 feet of her, and were especially entertained when she pooped! We also watched her eat
several fish, picking them up with her large talons and
tearing pieces off with her beak. Even though it literally never stopped pouring rain, and we were wet
much of the time, we had a great day!

May 3rd. Gretchen Kilbey (Speech Therapist), Ev
Wick (5th Grade) and Rick Pedretti (School Board)
participated in the half-marathon while Nicole
Sisbach (Aide), Anna Seamans (Art) and Marie
Childs (4th Grade) participated in the 5K. The weather was perfect and Rick and Gretchen placed in their
age divisions.
Fourth Grade Trip to Madison
By: Tracy Gray
The fourth graders from Stoddard and Prairie View
recently went on a field trip to Madison. We started
at the Henry Vilas Zoo. Our second stop was the
State Capitol building. From the moment the students and staff walked into the Capitol we were
amazed by the beauty and craftsmanship. Everywhere we looked there was stone from a different
country, gold plated decorations, and stained glass.
The students learned about the history of the Capitol
and how the different branches of government currently use the building. Our final stop was at the Wisconsin Historical Museum where we had an hour
guided tour.

We would like to thank the Parent Teacher Organizations from both schools for helping with the funding
of the bus. It was an experience the fourth graders
will remember for a long time.

time to get into the garden and weed and plant! With
the help of our Fund 80 money we are able to purchase plants and mulch to help beautify the garden.
3rd grade students planted seeds indoors (miniature
pumpkin/bird house gourds). The 5th grade students
are learning about vermiculture (raising worms/
composting) thanks to Billy’s Wigglers (donating the

Stoddard Family Literacy Night
By: Lisa Robbins
On Thursday, May 8 Family Literacy Night was held
at Stoddard Elementary with the purpose of promoting
literacy and bringing families together. Family Literacy Night was sponsored by the Stoddard Elementary
Title I Program.

meal.
Students and family members using Ipads.
Students and their parents played board games, minute-to-win games and did iPad exploration. Every
child that attended got a free book. Students received
a punch card and for every activity they participated
in they received a punch on their card. Students then
returned their full card for a free book of their choice.
A poster for the event was created from a design contest held earlier in April. Volunteers that helped during the event were Nikki Egge (Prairie View Elementary Title I teacher), Barb Sedlmayr and Stacy Matson. The food was prepared earlier in the day by
Betsy Knutson.
Ellie Greeno, Alan Matson and Barb
Sedlmayr are doing a Minute-To-Win-It
game called cup hands. The objective is to
stack 10 dice on top of each other with cups
on their hands.

Summer on the River” is about water and how it effects the lives of man, animals, and plants. The purpose of
“Summer on the River” is to generate interest amongst the students about the Mississippi River and its contributions to the plants, animals, and humans who live along its expansive river valley. Students will learn the
history of the Mississippi River from Ice Age times to the present, the effect of the lock and dam system on the
river, river-oriented occupations, recreational boating on the river, commercial and recreational fishing on the
river, and how the river has changed the landscape over the course of thousands of years.
Students will be introduced to men and women who have played and continue to play a role in the river’s history. Through them, “Summer on the River” students, we hope, will come to further appreciate the mightiest of
North American rivers. Mr. Crandall will further the students’ learning with lessons that focus on science, geography and math. Such things as the geographic and demographic compositions of the river valley and bluffs
will be discussed, as will mathematical principals that allow students to determine such things as water velocity,
volume, and the heights of the surrounding bluffs.
“Summer on the River” students will discern the similarities and differences of nature’s use of water compared
to the water usages of human beings. In that respect, students’ awareness of the importance of conserving water
and how that is essential to preserving the unique way of life of river valley residents will grow. “Summer on
the River” will be held from June 11-July 2 from 8:0013a.m. -1:30 p.m.

We have fit learning fun, knowledge, fun, poetry, fun, and writing into fun educational sessions for middle
school age students. Students will enjoy learning necessary study skills using a hands-on, interactive approach, focusing on organization, test taking skills, note taking, and how to read textbooks differently. Students will also have academic guidance in order to be successful at each middle school level. If all of these
were not enough, students will also have fun learning about a variety of writing styles, such as creative writing and persuasive writing through creating advertisements. Learning to enjoy reading and writing different
kinds of poetry will round off the morning sessions.
Students will work both independently and in small groups, in this unique and fast-paced approach to building on their English skills. Time each day will be split into two groups, one half doing study skills while the
other focuses on their creative writing skills; the groups then swap for the remainder of the day.
