Shout Out to...
...Lake Mills Administrators
For taking responsible, if sometimes unpopular actions, the LMASD administration deserves recognition. It's still early in 2020, but two situations have already tested our small community.
Pam Streich has earned kudos for acting swiftly to evacuate all three schools when a credible bomb threat was received on January 29. The elementary, middle, and high school principals led their staff and students to evacuation sites and oversaw the early dismissal.
On Thursday March 12, the District quickly made plans to close schools the following Tuesday due to the need to stop the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus. Those plans needed to be accelerated the next day when the governor ordered all schools closed as of that day, and our Administration has met the challenges so far.

Shout Out to...
...The Girls Basketball Team, for making it to State for the first time. These players worked hard and believed in themselves.
What's CAPE?
CAPE is an independent citizens’ group advocating for quality public education in Lake Mills, Wisconsin.
Formed in 2013, CAPE has more than 300 members and friends representing all facets of the community, including business leaders, educators, parents and grandparents.
CAPE contributes $1,000 for direct family support
When we heard schools were going to be closed from March 16 - April 6, we immediately knew we wanted to help the families who would be impacted.
We reached out to District Administrator Pam Streich, offering to help donate money for food and/or to deliver meals. We were told that the meals would continue to be prepared and were being delivered by staff.
So we asked, what do you need? Money for "hot spots," we were told, to give 30 families access to the Internet, at a cost of $5,000 for the period from March 30- April 3 when classes will be held remotely.
CAPE's leadership team took a vote and contributed $1,000 to this effort. This represents more than half of our treasury--the funds received from our members annual dues.
Thank you for helping us support the students and families of Lake Mills public schools during this challenging period.
March 16-March 30
COVID-19 has extended the break and changed our plans, but hopefully we all return healthy and ready to learn - remotely.
