The School District of Mishicot is staying active during these cold winter months, with a
multitude of recent and upcoming activities and achievements.
The district’s agriculture curriculum will soon be bolstered thanks to a $2,600 grant awarded
by DuPont Pioneer to Jamie Propson, agriculture educator and FFA advisor for the schools.
This grant will provide her the opportunity to attend CASE training, highly sought-after and intensive
curriculum workshops for agriculture educators. Propson will collaborate with other teachers from
across the nation this summer while attending an 11-day animal science workshop in Michigan.
Each of the hundreds of grant applications received by DuPont are reviewed and carefully
considered to pick only those which align closely with the company’s focus. It is an exciting time
for the district’s agriculture department as new science concepts and industry integration will be
brought back to the students at Mishicot. According to Propson, “This is one of the many ways
educators and administration at Mishicot continually seek new growth to better each students
individual learning experience.”
Congratulations to Riley Kelliher, 1st place winner, and Kally Krueger, 2nd place winner of the
Mishicot School District Geography Bee. Congratulations are also in order to Kaden Kowalski,
1st place winner, and Kate Kliment, 2nd place winner of the Mishicot School District Spelling Bee.
All students who competed should be proud of their excellent academic efforts.
