DEAR Day 4: Thursday, March 6: Wear your West Side Shirt or Purple and Gold
No School: Friday, March 7 (Staff In-Service)

Our community expressed concerns about the November referendum: the cost, the length, not knowing what the district had done to tighten their belts going into a referendum, and not knowing what could be cut if a referendum were to fail - the School Board listened.
• The School Board changed the ballot question from recurring to a four-year non-recurring referendum.
• The School Board reduced the ask from a phased-in $7 million annual recurring to $4 million annually for four years.
• The School Board published a list of budget cuts and revenue increases from 2014-15 to present on the Referendum website.
• The School Board reviewed and made recommendations on over $5 million in budget cuts

Elkhorn Area Middle School 6th Graders, as part of their PLTW Green Architecture Science class, have worked with Wausau Homes Elkhorn since 2018 to provide a hands-on building project that brings what they're learning in the classroom to life.
The Picnic Table Project in 2024 was such a success that they are now offering these picnic tables to the public for purchase. Visit the Wausau Homes booth at MakerFest this weekend to see the table in person, and then head over to Classmunity to purchase a table of your own!
