Central Artist of the Month for May
Central Intermediate School's Art Department is in its third round of "Artist of the Month" recognition.
Fourth-graders combined painting, warping and weaving techniques to create a fun and colorful spiderweb-like masterpiece! Fifth-grade students had created decorative pinch pots out of clay, however their work will not appear at Nicolet National Bank as they are moving on to the middle school next year. In turn, fifth-graders did have an opportunity to turn their pinch pots into something extra special to take home with them for the summer, by incorporating plants into their art to make a flower pot.
Students are chosen as Artist of the Month for their innovative thinking skills, creative applications, showcasing of exemplary learning through the project expectations, and by positively demonstrating the 4 B's (Be here, Be responsible, Be respectful, and Be safe).
The last round of student artwork for this term will be on display within Nicolet National Bank throughout the summer months. Community members are encouraged to check it out.
Congratulations to the May Artists and a very special thank you to Nicolet National Bank!
Summer Food
Service Program
Stressing the importance of offering nutritious meals to children during the summer months, the School District of Rhinelander has announced the sponsorship of the Summer Food Service Program.
The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), which is funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and is administered by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, provides nutritious meals to children during the summer, when free and reduced-price school meals are typically unavailable.
Free meals will be made available to children 18 years of age and under. Persons over 18 years of age who are determined by a state or local public educational agency to be mentally or physically disabled and who also participate in a public or private non-profit school program during the regular school year may receive free meals as well.
The following locations will be serving the free meals this summer: Crescent - breakfast 7:45 to 8:10 a.m., lunch 10:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.; Pelican - breakfast 8 to 8:20 a.m., lunch 11:15 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.; JWMS - lunch 11:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.; RHS - breakfast 7:45 a.m. to 10 a.m. Meals are provided to eligible children regardless of race, color, national origin, age, gender or disability and there will be no discrimination in the course of meal service.
"This program fills a void created when school lunches are not available," said Patricia Karaba. "Helping parents meet the nutritional needs of their children is the strength of this program."
For more information, call the School District of Rhinelander at (715) 365-9700.

Rhinelander High School Recognized as PBIS 'School of Merit'
Rhinelander High School was recently selected by the Wisconsin RtI Center as a School of Merit for their work accomplished through the implementation of Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS).
The Wisconsin Response to Intervention (RtI) Center is funded by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction to provide statewide training and technical assistance to help create responsive schools and districts. PBIS is a system-wide proactive framework that enables schools to be more effective and responsive to student social-emotional needs by implementing a multi-level system of support for behavior. Rhinelander High School was one of 222 schools statewide to be recognized as a School of Merit for the 2015-16 school year.
Schools were recognized as Schools of Merit based on an application process that included team and meeting information, implementation and outcome data, and a narrative that described the data, systems, and practices of PBIS implementation.
