 Given what we have seen and heard in the national media about schools in the past few years, it would be difficult not to be concerned about school safety; therefore, I have included an article detailing what the District has been doing over the last 10 years to keep our students safe. With all of these safeguards in place, we still believe that the best way to stop school violence is to genuinely care for each student who walks through the doors each day. I assure you that the staff at the School District of Lomira will continue to strive to meet the needs of all of our students in hopes that all feel welcomed and included as they journey this educational path to a future they find both meaningful and satisfying.
In regard to both school safety and school programming and equipment, the 2017 – 2018 was an extremely positive year for the School District of Lomira. We were able to secure over $200,000 in various grants and over $150,000 in community donations. These grants will enhance school safety, upgrade our Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) curriculum, and solidify our technology infrastructure District-wide. These grants were the result of the hard work and dedication of numerous staff members that are fully committed to providing relevant learning opportunities that will allow our students to exit with the necessary skills for success. Specifically, a generous donation of over $140,000 from Metal Craft will enable our students to gain exposure in robotic programming at the middle school level, with more advanced opportunities available as they enter high school. Also, our continued partnership with Jor-Mac will allow for the continued expansion of our robotics teams which performed well enough to qualify for the national competition last school year.
In addition to these financial awards and opportunities, the District was also named a Top Workplace by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, our high school was one of a handful in the State to be recognized an Advanced Placement (AP) School of Distinction, and both of our elementary schools significantly exceeded expectations on the District report card. While we are pleased with these results, we are fully aware that education is an on-going process that is always evolving and changing and the School District of Lomira will continue to embrace opportunities for growth to give our students the very best education and experience.
The 2018 – 2019 school year will be upon us before we know it and I am excited to see what new partnerships and opportunities will develop throughout the course of the year. I am extremely grateful to work in communities that genuinely support their schools, care deeply about the well-being of our children and strive to not only believe, but live our motto: “Lomira: the subject is excellence.”
Enjoy the day!

Superintendent/Middle School Principal
