Casey credits her father for motivating her to play golf. She would also like to work for a 

nonprofit organization like Heifer International. “Thanks to teachers Mrs. Medcraft and Mrs.

Grace plans to study at Macalester College in St. Paul, MN majoring in Biology. “I would 

like to study Biology because Mrs. Ellefson helped me to see that it is so interesting. Human 

Anatomy and Physiology is by far the most engaging class I’ve taken.” 

A special memory for Grace is traveling to Heifer International’s Ranch to participate in 

their Global Passport program. “This experience opened my eyes to the hardships of life in 

underdeveloped areas of the world. I will use these life lessons for years to come.” 

A message Grace would like to convey to her classmates, teachers, and community is to laugh and be positive. “With a 

good attitude, life is so much more fun. Don’t dwell on negatives; they only hold you back. Be grateful for every single day 

because there is so much do to in life and you never know how much time you have left.”

As Natasha plans for her future, she will try to live every day by the motto, “The more I do today, the less I have to do 

tomorrow. One day you’ll wake up and find you’ve accomplished more than you thought possible.”

Mrs. Ellefson has inspired me to pursue science.” Rachel also wants to become a mentor 

in the Hand in Hand program where Hamline University students tutor Hamline Elementary 

students. 

One thing about high school Rachel will never forget is how everyone would rally together 

during various events. “From Blessing Baskets, all school breakfast, to football games, I will 

never forget how the school came together.” 

A message Rachel would like to convey is, “Don’t be afraid to stand out. Be yourself. Everything else will fall into place.”

government at the academy and try out for the sports parachute team.” But Jack’s primary 

goal for his future is to serve people. “I want my endeavors and work to benefit the lives 

of others.” With countless experiences supporting his goal, Jack credits his father for his 

inspiration. 

Jack would like to say thank you to: the teachers for their hard work and time they give; the community for supporting the 

district; and his classmates who made his high school experience unforgettable. “Remember, everyone has the ability to 

do something great!”

RETIREMENTS IN THE DISTRICT 

Cathy Olson, Osceola School Board 

Retirement message from Timm Johnson, Osceola School Board President 

Cathy Olson retired this April from serving 21 years on the Osceola School 

Board. Over those 21 years, Cathy demonstrated an unbelievable passion for 

education, support for the Osceola School District, and a commitment that all 

students regardless of ability, home environment, and lifestyle choices all would 

receive the best education possible with the resources available to us. 

There have been a lot of changes over those 21 years in education in general 

and Osceola in particular. Our school district has grown in student numbers, 

the campus has been expanded and staff added, programs and technology 

updated, and school fi nancing is defi nitely different than 21 years ago. Through it all, Cathy has had an enviable positive 

outlook that all students have a bright future in front of them and that we needed to do our best to prepare them. 

The Osceola School District has been very well respected in Northwest Wisconsin as a leader in progressive programming, 

as a stable environment for staff and students, and a good district to work in. I can honestly say that Cathy has been 

a major part of the success we have achieved, and I have greatly appreciated having the opportunity to serve on the 

Osceola School Board with Cathy. 

Betsy Morgan 

Ms. Betsy Morgan retires after 33 years of teaching in the Osceola School District. Betsy 

received her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Elementary Education from Hamline 

University and in 1989 received her Master of Arts in Counseling and Psychological Services 

from St. Mary’s College. After graduating in 1980, Betsy began her career in Osceola 

teaching Title I for 27 years working with Kindergarten through 6th grade. From there she 

taught Academic Support for grades 3 - 5 along with 5th grade math for two years and 

spent her last four years teaching in a 5th grade classroom. Betsy’s family includes one son, 

Michael, daughter-in-law Chasteen, and four grandchildren; Rachel, Alyssa, Ryan, Aaron, 

and a great-grandchild due to arrive in July, her parents Ron and Marge Renn, and siblings 

Tom, Tim and Merry (& families). 

Snow Leopards 

Stellars Jay 

What Betsy will miss most about teaching 

are the everyday moments with students. 

“Listening to the sounds of students engaged as they respond with 

enthusiasm to learning and the joy of witnessing the growth and changes 

of children through the years have brought much delight to my life.” 

Throughout her teaching experience, she has learned to be fl exible and 

stay present in the moment. “I’ve learned to try new things and laugh!” 

When asked about her favorite memory from Osceola, she admits that 

there are too many to mention all of them but she will remember them with 

laughter and fondness. A few memories that truly stand out are running into 

former students who share special memories from her class, remembering 

how welcomed she felt when fi rst joining the Osceola staff, and developing 

friendships from people she has worked with throughout the years. 

During retirement, Betsy plans to spend more time with family and friends, 

travel and explore new places, read great books, be creative with cooking 

and gardening, and go hiking and kayaking.

SUMMER SCHOOL PROGRAM AT OIS AND OHS 

Osceola’s traditional summer school program has nearly 900 students enrolled and will run from Monday, June 10 through 

Wednesday, July 3. 

The location of student programming is a little different than last year with the construction of the Athletic Complex. 

Students entering kindergarten through completing second grade will attend programming at Osceola Intermediate School 

while students completing grades three through eight will attend at Osceola High School. The hours for summer school for 

OIS are 8:10 a.m. through 11:50 a.m. and for OHS is 8:10 a.m. through 11:58 a.m. 

Breakfast will be available for 3rd through 8th grade students at the start of the day for $1.00. Pre-K students will receive a 

snack calendar and can take turns bringing in a snack to share for 15-20 of their peers. Kindergarten through 2nd grade 

students will be offered a light, summer-school breakfast later in the morning for 50¢. The cost of meals will be deducted 

from your family’s food service account. If you qualified for free/reduced meal plans during the school year, there will be 

no charge for summer school breakfast. Breakfast will also be available for Kids’ Klub participants at OIS that arrive before 

summer school. Please see Kids’ Klub materials for more info. 

Students entering kindergarten through second grade will work with a different unit and teacher each week. Math and 

reading continue to be infused into a variety of topics. Many regular teaching staff, some excellent community resource 

people, and regular substitute teachers will provide instruction in a relaxed, enrichment-focused environment. Students in 

third through eighth grade will participate in a wide variety of enrichment classes as well. A sampling of classes includes 

clay, dance, knitting, kids in the kitchen, lifetime sports, woodworking, and swimming lessons. A summer school expo 

featuring completed student projects will be held on Tuesday, July 2nd from 10:00-11:30 a.m. in the OHS Commons area. 

The district provides bus service for summer school; however, bus numbers and routes are different from those of the regular 

school year. Information regarding schedules and bus routes are included in this newsletter. 

Additional information will be included for those students who have swimming lessons as part of their morning. Kids’ Klub will 

also be available during summer school.

charged to your family’s regular food service account. On-line payments are also available through e~Funds for Schools 

using your credit card or e-check. Reoccurring payments can be made to meet your budgeting needs as well as a

SPRINTING SISTERS 3rd SEASON 

The Sprinting Sisters are 

back for their 3rd season 

of running! The group has 

grown to include 53 girls 

in 4th through 6th grade. 

It is offered to encourage 

teambuilding skills, selfesteem, 

the importance of 

community, and healthy 

living through running. The 

eight week program started 

with a snowy start. We meet

June 8th. 

Ms. Erickson, OMS school 

counselor and Ms. Kraemer, 

OIS school counselor are the 

club facilitators and are joined by a group of six volunteer coaches. Each practice focuses on a different topic to build 

feelings of self-worth and community while running as a group.

SCHOOL BUS TRANSPORTATION INFORMATION 

The following pages contain bus schedules for the 2013 summer school. To look up your child’s information, fi nd the last 

name in the alphabetical list. Make sure it matches the correct address (only the fi rst three numbers of the address are 

shown. If an error exists in the address or the name is not listed, please contact us at 715-294-3456. Scan to the left to fi nd 

the bus number and pick up time. If there is more than one child with the same last name going from the same stop, only 

one child is shown. 

In most cases the pick up is from and to the home address. If your child is to come from or go to a stop other than home 

you must let the Transportation Department know right away at 715-294-3456. Also let the appropriate schools know prior 

to the start of summer school. During the summer school you also need to notify the school of any change in transportation 

needs. The time given is a rough estimate and your child should be ready 10 minutes early the fi rst few days and always 

be at the bus stop 5 minutes prior to the bus time. Please make sure the younger 

children know to ride the same bus back home (please let your child’s teacher 

know what bus they should ride). Also, they should be instructed to get off at the 

right stop and how to proceed directly home.

Aquacize Classes 

Strengthens the body...relaxes the mind...toughens the spirit! Aquacize (or water aerobics) combines a solid cardiovascular 

& aerobic workout with muscle-toning and strength building over a 1-hour class period. The class takes place in the shallow 

area of the pool (approximately 3-4 feet of water). Many participants who are not swimmers fi nd Aquacize a great way 

to workout, keep cool, and increase their confi dence in the water. The class is ideal for everyone regardless of age, fi tness 

Colossal Squid 

level, or gender. The benefi ts of water aerobics are many! 

A typical 1-hour class workout looks like this: 

Classes meet: 

5-10 min. Warm-up/stretching Monday - Thursday @ 5:30-6:30 p.m. 

20-30 min. Aerobics Saturday @ 11:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. 

15-20 min. Strength-train/Muscle-tone (w/equipment) 

10 min. Cool down/Stretching

American Red Cross Swimming Lessons 

Students should come prepared to swim and bring a towel and plastic bag to put wet items in 

after the lesson. Dressing rooms are available for boys and girls. Parents of very small children 

needing supervision in dressing should ask the attendant on duty (at the cashier’s desk) for 

permission to use the family/ handicap dressing room. Parents are asked to sit on the bleachers 

during lessons. Teachers are certifi ed swim instructors and fi nd sideline coaching a distraction to 

the class. 

It is the Aquatic Center policy to offer swimming lessons year round. Parents must register 

children for swimming lessons prior to the start of each session.
