Arbor Day Celebration
Arbor Day was started in 1872 and the Village of Elkhart Lake held its annual Arbor Day event on April 27th, 2012. The 5th grade students from Mrs. Farron’s and Mr. Harrison’s classes participated in the Arbor Day Celebration.
The Tree Commission also held a “Tree Mendous” poster contest for the 5th graders. Poster’s were submitted that showed how trees had played a role in the student’s life. The 1st place poster was drawn by Lauren Jenny who received a gift card to Tom & Jerry’s Mini Golf Course. 2nd place was awarded to Mia Rentmeester, who received free bowling for 8 from Anchor Lanes. 3rd place was given to Kaylin Kalbacken who received an ice cream cone party for 8 from Victorian Village. All participants also received a goodie bag for participating. Sargento, Chester’s Drive Inn and Jeanette Moioffer generously donated items for these goodie bags. Lake Street Café is proudly displaying these posters. We would like to thank all the businesses for their donations. Without their support, the poster contest would not have been possible.
The Village of Elkhart Lake is also a Tree City USA and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR), also was at the Arbor Day celebration to present the Village with its Tree City USA awards. Elkhart Lake has been a a Tree City for 12 years.

Nominate the EL-G School District for Grant through Monsanto's Fund's America's Farmers Grow Rural Education
The Elkhart Lake-Glenbeulah School District needs your help! We need you to get out in your communities and ask your local farmers to nominate the EL-G School District for the opportunity to compete for a grant of $25,000 through Monsanto Fund’s America’s Farmers Grow Rural Education.
Deadline for the Monsanto Grant is April 15th.
With help from you and your families, the Elkhart Lake-Glenbeulah School District could win grant money. Our tentative plan is to use the money to provide 1-to-1 technology for our 9th grade students for their use and professional development opportunities to the teachers to facilitate and develop their instructional techniques focused on incorporating this new technology. Through the use of laptops by the students, this educational tool could be very effective for students to become more actively become involved in discovering first-hand the application and integration of math and science concepts.
