Attention KHS Sophomores and Juniors-  The First of Many mentorship program pairs first-generation college students at Lawrence University with potential first-generation students at Kaukauna High School.  A first-generation college student is a college student whose parents/guardians have not completed a bachelor's degree. This program is intended to knock down barriers for students interested in pursuing a college education by providing them with a mentor and a curriculum that will cover topics including but not limited to, financial aid, college applications, selecting a major, and scholarships. Matches will meet via Zoom for approximately 30-60 minutes, once per week for approximately 8-10 weeks.


If you would like to apply to be a participant in the First of Many program, please contact Mr. Binsfeld in student services. He will work with you to complete the application.  Applications are due March 15, 2021. The program will tentatively be running from March 29th to May 24th.

 

Any athletes interested in playing football next fall should attend a player meeting on TODAY at 3:25 in the auditorium.  Anyone who cannot make it must contact Coach Binsfeld directly.  The meeting will last about 20 minutes.  

 

Country Visions Cooperative and CP Feeds offer $1000 scholarships to graduating seniors.  Parents must be active members of this company.  Also, The Compeer Financial's High School Senior Scholarship Program is open and is currently accepting applications to graduating seniors who have interest in an agricultural-related field or have an agriculture or rural background.   Applications are available in Xello.

If you are interested in being a peer mentor for the Breaking Boundaries Triathlon there will be two more informational meetings during Flex Time today, Tuesday (March 2nd) and Thursday (March 4th).  Please sign up in Edficiency!! If you are unable to attend the meetings please contact Mrs. Jones in room E227.

 

A big THANK YOU goes out to Kaukauna High School students and staff who took the time to donate blood with the Community Blood Center and NHS at one of the last two blood drives. Between both blood drives we were able to donate 13.6 gallons of blood to the local hospitals. Our donations helped 324 people in need get  blood products  to survive. 

 

A big shout out goes to the following lunch sponsors for donating delicious food for lunch donors:

 

Pagoni's Pizza

Taco Johns

Jimmy Johns 

 

Next blood drive is in April. If you want to learn more about the Gallon Grad program or how to start donating, stop in and see Mrs. Miller-Flynn.
