Feller Presented with the Friends in Education Award
Bob Feller receives the Friends in Education Award from REA member Rachel Burkel
Presented by Reedsburg Education Association
Bob Feller, Reedsburg Country Club, was nominated for the Friends in Education Award by Physical Education Teacher, Brenda Erdman. Mr. Feller helped the district's physical education department apply and win a grant for the First Tee Golf Program, which is a national curriculum that teaches the basics of golf and the core values used in golf, such as sportsmanship, integrity, and honesty.
The program is taught to all students in grades K-5 through the physical education teachers and classes. At the end of the golf unit, Mr. Feller comes to the elementary schools with a few additional volunteers and sets up a 4-hole golf course for the third graders to play, including a tee box area, flag, putting green, and a hole for the kids to putt into. The older students are invited to the Reedsburg Country Club golf course to practice hitting and putting with Mr. Feller's helpful guidance and instruction.
Students are excited about golf and thanks to Mr. Feller, have more of an opportunity to practice and play golf. When he assists the students to play golf, he is kind, helpful, and encouraging. Many students have shown interest in furthering their play in golf because of the First Tee program.
"We are very thankful to Bob Feller for supporting physical education, our students, and especially promoting life-long skills to stay healthy," adds Brenda Erdman.

Presented by Reedsburg Education Association
Korie Klink was nominated for the Friends in Education Award by the fourth-grade team at Pineview Elementary School. Korie has worked with fourth-grade students at Pineview for the past five years through a program she founded, CATH (Children Are the Hope).
Korie allows students to experience other cultures through education about cranes (the global symbol of peace), natural habitats/resources, clothing, music, dancing, and even food from other countries. Korie helps students understand commonalities and connections to faraway places such as Cuba, Turkey, and Rwanda. As she shares stories, pictures, music, dance, and literature, students develop acceptance for others. As a culminating project, students create and send a message of hope to sister cities in other countries.
"Korie lives and breathes her message of hope and inspires each student to help make the world a better place. As one of the most genuine people we’ve ever met, she is most deserving of this special award," says Sandy Rohweder, Fourth Grade Teacher.
Summer Tutor List
Through the School District of Reedsburg, a list is available of teachers and other adults willing to tutor students struggling with their academics:
The location, time and amount of compensation for time spent tutoring should be arranged between the tutor and the parent.
2019 Summer School
Summer Schoolis for students who are recommended by their classroom teachers, interventionists, and administration for continued support in math and reading. The K-5 summer school will be located at Westside Elementary School this summer.
We believe in sustaining student learning throughout the year, so students retain educational growth during the summer. In addition to summer reading, we believe summer math work is also important in the battle to keep children learning at their maximum achievement levels.
