Laying the foundation

Elementary students learn STEAM building blocks
The main goal of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and

math) education in the Oregon School
District is to prepare students to be
critical, creative thinkers and problem-solvers.
That starts early, with staff working
to provide an integrated curricula for
students starting in kindergarten, with
concepts advancing as they move
through elementary, intermediate,
middle and high school.
Like anything built over time, the
foundation is critical. With STEAM,
educators hope to give the youngest
students in the district a great head
start by introducing them to projects
that reach across multiple subjects,
giving them a voice in what and
how they learn, and giving them the
confidence to share that with others.

When solving problems as adults
we connect learning from all subject areas and we want to prepare
our learners to engage in that level of
complex thinking, said district director of instruction Leslie Bergstrom.
STEAM is an excellent framework
for promoting critical, creative thinking and problem solving as it is rooted in real-world experience and is
integrated and thematic.
At the districts three elementary schools Brooklyn, Netherwood
Knoll and Prairie View there are a
variety of STEAM-related activities
going on, from 3D printing projects to
designing an outdoor garden.
A visitor could walk into Brooklyn Elementary and find kids tapping
away at computers, entering codes,
or to Prairie View, where students
are peering excitedly into cardboard
boxes which hold Google Expeditions devices that take them on virtual field trips around the world. Or
Netherwood Knoll, where students
are collaborating with professionals
on engineering and designing an outdoor classroom that started last year
as part of the successful 2014 capital
projects referendum.
And thanks to that referendum, and
the influx of funding for new STEAM
spaces and programming, there will
be many more opportunities for these
elementary school students, more
areas to work, and more chances for
academic success that will help them
as they progress through their years in
the district.

Campus: Meeting participants rank objectives, use Legos to depict where buildings could go
Continued from page 1

three exercises to help prioritize investment in facilities downtown and determine where key buildings
Village Hall, the senior center, library, post office and
youth center should be
located when a Civic Campus Master Plan is implemented in phases, possibly
beginning as soon as 2019.
Workshop participants
filled out questionnaires
and ranked objectives for
the civic campus.

All thought the workshop
was well run and informative, although some wished
a few things had been done
differently.
Longtime resident Al
Brown said he would have
Photos by Bill Livick
From left, Dan Donoghue, Hans Noeldner and Jerry Thiel move Legos around to portray where key buildings could go during a downtown
civic campus workshop at Village Hall Monday.
What they learned
Priorities
Workshop survey results showed residents top priorities include, in order:
Maintaining the villages civic, social and
cultural presence downtown
Making the downtown a destination for both
daytime and nighttime activities
Strengthening the downtowns identity, image
and sense of place
Promoting mixed use redevelopment with
urban character with upper-story apartments
and condominiums
liked more young people
with families at the workshop.
Brown, along with Town
of Oregon resident Phil Van
Kampen, also thought the
range of options for relocating buildings could have
been expanded beyond the
downtown area.
I think it was somewhat
limiting in the fact that they
were only including areas
downtown for the facilities,
Van Kampen said. I think
that one or more of those
could be moved away from
the downtown. The library

itself takes such a big footprint that maybe it could be
moved from downtown.
That said, he and Brown
agreed that the workshop
got people thinking about
the villages future.
I think it was a good
p l a c e t o s t a r t , B r ow n
observed. I hope they keep
getting feedback so they
know what the community wants. This gets people
thinking about how the
whole thing can be changed
up.
Slavney said based on

wo r k s h o p p a r t i c i p a n t s
responses, There seems to
be a consensus that everything can fit downtown.
He said the senior center
and library are a natural
pairing.
Staton reminded the
group that during a strategic
planning survey in 2010,
83 percent of respondents
said they agreed or strongly
agreed that such key municipal buildings as Village
Hall, the library and senior
center should all remain
centrally located in the
downtown area.
On Monday, participants
ranked a number of objectives presented in a survey
prepared by Vandewalle.
While the top priority
among Mondays group
was keeping key municipal buildings together in
close proximity, two groups
suggested moving Village
Hall to Jefferson Street and
having residential housing
above it.
One group opposed moving the Oregon Area Senior
Center to the proposed Jefferson Street Commons
redevelopment an idea
thats been discussed quite
a bit because it would
require older people to
navigate the intersection
of Main Street, Janesville
Street and Jefferson Street.
Staton later told the
Observer he didnt think
there has been a single
accident at the intersection,
which was reconstructed
along with the rest of the
downtown infrastructure in
2008-09.
Some participants said
they would favor putting
the library, senior center
and Village Hall all under
one roof, while others advocated keeping the three
buildings and the youth
center together and developing Jefferson Street for
mixed use residential/retail.
Why now?
Village officials began
looking at an updated Capital Improvement Plan last
year and realized the village
needs to do something
with its municipal buildings, Staton explained.
He said some of the
buildings the senior center and Village Hall are
outdated and others, like

Last year, the village

commissioned the organizers of the workshop, Vandewalle and Associates, to
prepare a civic campus plan
at a cost of $48,000. The
firm first conducted a space
needs study and then interviewed downtown property
owners and other stakeholders to determine what land
would be available for creating a civic campus.
Armed with that information, Vandewalles Mike
Slavney and Jackie Mich
worked with village officials to organize and conduct the workshop.
Theyll take the information gleaned from the
workshop and then present
a report with options for
village officials to consider
as Vandewalle prepares the
Civic Campus Master Plan.
Slavney, officials such
as Village President Steve
Staton and village administrator Mike Gracz, and several participants all told the
Observer they were pleased
and even a bit surprised at
the large turnout.
It was the perfect-sized
crowd and a nice mixture of
people, he said. Based on
what I heard, I thought we
got a lot of great input that
will help us finalize the civic campus plan.
Staton agreed: I thought
it was facilitated really
well. It was a good turnout,
and the feedback we got
informally as people left
was that they appreciated
the opportunity and it was
worthwhile.
the library and senior center, are too small.

The library is smaller
than it should be to meet
demand, Staton said, and
the indications early on
were that the library is the
first thing to be considered.
We t h e n s o u g h t t o
answer the question, what
do we need to get us to the
year 2030?
Officials also recognized
that Village Hall needs a significant amount of work on
things like the HVAC and
other technology that would
be extremely costly.
You certainly want to
investigate other options
before you put that kind of
money into an older building, Staton said. So this
planning is designed to
update buildings and move
us forward into the future.
The time is right, and the
board has been very supportive.
Slavney said he would submit his firms civic campus
report to the Village Board
in late June or early July. The
board would then have some
big decisions to make.
Gracz said the timing is
good because the villages
financial advisor is coming
Monday to talk to the Village Board about what we
have to borrow this year,
and hell also start to get
the board ready for how we
finance the civic campus
plan the building process.
Gracz said the village has
debt thats falling off in
2019 that is going to give us
some capacity to borrow for
the civic campus.
He noted the construction
would be done in phases.
Gracz added its premature to talk about holding a
referendum, although some
trustees Monday said they
expect the village to have a
community vote in order to
finance construction of the
civic campus.
On Tuesday, Gracz said
his staff is starting to plan
how to finance it, while
being able to finance the
other things that have to
happen in the village.
We cant start working
on the buildings and not
also be focused on street
maintenance and things like
that, he said. So well get
the civic campus plan study
from Vandewalle sometime
this summer, and then well
have to decide the sequencing of the building.
He compared the process
to creating a Downtown
Master Plan back in 2000.
We have used that for
the last 15 to 16 years to
do various projects downtown, he explained. Once
youve done all the hard
work and have the plan in
place, it makes decisions
easier because youre constantly going back and
referring to the plan.

Village of Oregon
Zurawik, Golz
First step to downtown apts: traffic study
will lead schools
Two Oregon schools will
have new permanent principals next year.
The Oregon School District announced Monday
that Jason Zurawik has been
promoted from interim to
full-time principal at Rome
Corners Intermediate School
and Dawn Golz will take
over this summer at Prairie
View Elementary School.
Zurawik has been
serving as
interim principal at RCI Zurawik
(fifth- and
sixth-graders) while
Michelle
Gard was
o n a y e a rlong leave
of absence.
Gard recently announced Goltz
her resignation to spend more time
serving as the first family
of Badger basketball with
her husband, Greg, who
was named head coach of
the University of Wisconsin-Madison mens basketball team earlier this year.
Golz has served as an
administrative intern at Netherwood Knoll Elementary
School this year. She takes
over for Heather Sveom,
who announced her resignation earlier this year in
preparation for a three-year

learning adventure to Tanzania with her husband.
Both moves are effective on
July 1, the start of the 201617 school calendar year.
OSD is a family affair for
Zurawik, a former associate
principal at Oregon Middle
School who has two children in the district. His wife,
Jessie, is a special education
teacher at Brooklyn Elementary.
In a district news release,
Zurawik said hes honored
and excited to be able to
continue his work at RCI,
which he called a special
place to be.
The staff are leaders within the classroom, and the parents and community members provide so many opportunities for our students to
experience an education that
is second to none, he said.
Thank you to all the mentors along the way in helping
make my dream of leading a
school come true.
Golz began working in the
district nine years ago, teaching second- and third-grade
students at Netherwood Elementary School. She said she
has learned a lot in the past
three years as an administrative intern.
My goal is to build a
strong school learning community centered around
student needs, Golz said.
My hope is to continue the
innovative programs that
have been developed, such
as SPARK and collaboration
time.

A proposed downtown
apartment building is getting serious consideration
from the village.
Village officials discussed the potential cost of
a traffic impact analysis for
the Jefferson Street parking lot and surrounding
area after discussing the
Jefferson Street Commons
project last week. Developers Jeff Groenier and Mark
Mortensen plan to build
either a four-story building with 16,000 square feet
on the ground level and 42
units of residential housing
on the three floors above or
a three-story building with
40 residential units.
The two would buy the
property on the south side
of Jefferson Street from
local developer Paul Lynch,
and they estimate the building would cost between $5
million and $6.5 million.
The men said they would
build the larger facility if

Groenier said the analysis could settle the question
easily.
If we cant solve the

area, you dont want the

said. But I think we can

Mortensen said he and

have several questions to
answer before theyre in a

The biggest is the extent

Village officials said
they need to get further

Village needs to address poor roads

This letter is in regard to the
bad roads in Oregon, especially
Main Street, Jonesville Street
and Jefferson Street.
Those in charge of the roads
should feel ashamed making
people of Oregon be made to
travel on such poor roads. We
have a growing city with homes
costing $1 million and more. On
Main Street, a couple of manholes are 3-4 inches below the

The community of Oregon has

Libraries helpfulness
driven by curiosity
ibrarians are curious individuals.

We are always ready to
learn something new, whether its
absorbing interesting information, fascinating facts, or sublime
skillsets. Its true that this learning sometimes comes by way
of reading books, but whatever
the means, we absorb the world
around us like a sponge.
Your typical
TV or movie
librarian definitely belongs
to the shushing,
glasses-wearing, smartypants, cat-loving set. And
while I will
Busch
admit to qualifying for some
of those categories myself, one
look at OPLs Pinterest Library
Humor! board will definitely
clue you into our notoriously wry
wit and how much variety there is
in our interests.
That is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg.
A great example the quintessential librarian, really is Mary
Davidson.
A longtime Oregon Public
Library employee, she became
our assistant director earlier
this year, and there is not a
more deserving person of this
responsibility, which includes
assisting the library director with
all operations of the library, as
well as being responsible for all
operations and personnel in my
absence. After all, shes worked
in every conceivable role within
the library for 30 years and has
done all of them with kindness,

dedication and professionalism.
When the board of trustees
chose her to be promoted, what
quickly came to my mind was
how special she is to the library
and our community. And then I
thought about the broader question of what those qualities are
that make her and other librarians
special.
First, of course, is the
unquenchable curiosity. It
makes Mary and other librarians
interesting conversationalists
as a whole, but it also serves
the public our library users.
Our inquisitive nature urges us
to keep current in technology,
trends, as well as in best practices
in research, teaching and learning.
It even helps us to maximize
the reach of every precious dollar
by constantly exploring potential efficiencies in our workflow,
learning new ways to protect and
repair library materials to extend
their shelf life and always saving what might be of use in the
future.
Librarians might just be the
original recyclers of the modern
world. We are, in a word, thrifty.
We are also helpful by nature.
Most of us dont generally go
into the field for glamour or riches; we are here because we are
genuinely motivated by a desire
to help people with whatever
information need they have. Generally, library workers are friendly, open-minded and sincere,
which helps you know we are
genuine in wanting to help.
Superb service, in fact, is core
to the mission of libraries as a
whole. It is impossible not to

notice libraries welcoming atmosphere whether you walk in our
doors, ask a question via email,
or follow us on Facebook.
Before you think Im implying
we have cookie-cutter personalities, I will add quirky to our list
of qualities.
Sometimes that means playful.
Other times, it might refer to the
wide range of personal interests.
At OPL alone, we have gardeners, artists, anime enthusiasts,
a former Roller Derby player,
scrapbookers, a bone collector,
an eraser collector, golfers, musicians, travelers and last, but not
least goddesses of quilting and
sewing.
This diversity of knowledge
and experience can come in
helpful when you come in with
an unusual question or a special
request, like test prep for an
upcoming service exam, a desire
to binge-watch the first three
seasons of Game of Thrones or a
need to quickly learn a new computer program or a desire pick up
a hobby.
So as inquisitive individuals
with the drive to help others are
drawn to working in libraries, the
public benefits. This ever-growing, eclectic knowledge (and our
frugal ways) shape how we do
our work, and were always trying to do it better for you.
And Davidson wonderfully
curious, smart, helpful, sincere
and talented represents the best
qualities librarians have to offer
the public we serve.

the Oregon Public Library.

What: Madison Reading Project Dinner and Dancing Benefit
When: 6-9:30p.m. Saturday, April 30

The Madison Reading Project and

Charlies On Main are partnering in an
effort to give the gift of lifetime literacy to Dane County children.
Charlies On Main will host a benefit
dinner to raise awareness and funds for
the Madison-based nonprofits book-giving program from 6-9:30p.m. Saturday.
The program aims to provide books to
vulnerable and low-income children and
families to instill a love of reading,
with a goal to distribute 5,000 books this
year, according to a news release. The
organization was already nearing that
goal this month.
Over two-thirds of children living
in poverty do not own books, Madison
Reading Project founder Rowan Childs
said in the release. We want to get
books and reading materials to them to
keep.
The event will have a 1920s theme,
with professional dancers performing
(and teaching dance moves to attendees)
from Fred Astaire Madison East. Yahara
Bay Distillery will be serving themed
cocktails and tastings. The prix fixe dinner is $65, and includes a three-course
dinner, dancing, beverages, tax and
gratuity; all proceeds will go directly to

the book program.
New and gently-used books donated to
the program by individuals, businesses
and churches are sorted and organized
by volunteers before being distributed
to organizations and schools. The project emphasizes letting kids select their
own books, as studies have found that
children are more likely to read if they
choose a book themselves.
The program has distributed books to
groups and schools, including Box of
Balloons, Road Home, Salvation Army,
Lutheran Social Services, Early Headstart, Northside Elementary, Lowell Elementary and Wright Middle School.

What Is Love?
We often talk about love as if it is a state of being. We
talk about being in love and we often describe it as an
emotional state which blossoms in certain relationships.
We love our family and friends, our romantic partners,
and we talk of loving God, though what that means is
not always clear. Perhaps the better model for thinking
about love is not a state of being, but an act of becoming. All relationships develop and change, at least in part
because all people develop and change. Whether we
are growing or aging, all people change, and the loving
relationships that we have with others who are growing
or aging reflects these dynamic changes. Young lovers
dont remain young forever, although their love may feel
young and new at every stage of development. Love is an
act of mutual becoming in relation to our beloved, whether our beloved is our spouse, our brother or sister, or our
God. Relationships have to be worked at, and love can
sometimes feel like hard work.
Christopher Simon, Metro News Service
Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast,
it is not proud.

Following their passion
Projects give PVE students voice and choice
SCOTT DE LARUELLE
Prairie View Elementary School

student Jackson
Umhoefer is
all smiles after
checking out
some new places
during a Google
Expeditions
event earlier this
month at the
school. Students
were able to use
virtual reality
to visit places around the
world, right in
their own classrooms.
Prairie View is one of two

schools with an emphasis on
outdoor learning as part of
its STEAM programming.
PVE principal Heather Sveom said the PVE Garden, a
community-involved project,
is really taking shape, with
the school raising funds for
the project and also securing
a $5,000 grant. The school is
working with a group from
Sustain Dane to create the
new area.
Students have designed
what their dream garden
would look like, she said,
noting that by the end of the
year, staff hope to have three
conceptual drawings for people to vote on.
The fun then begins with
us setting goals and phasing
in parts of the project, Sveom said. One goal by fall is
to have the paths and a sensory garden in place. One
overarching goal is to connect our curriculum to our
Photo by Scott De
Laruelle
garden throughout the school

day.
As part of other STEAM
projects, Sveom said several
PVE teachers have started
multidisciplinary passion
projects where the students
a r e g iv e n
voice and choice in what
they want to learn.
The students can take a
concept and further explore
the topic by reading texts at
their levels and then share
their learning with others,

she said. Some projects
have integrated technology, and students have studied everything from cars to
World War II to black holes
to understanding laws of
physics in our solar system.
Perhaps one of the students
favorite STEAM projects
this year was a visit from the
Google Expeditions crew,
who provided cardboard sets
of glasses and smart phones
for students to take virtual
trips around the world. Students explored the Great Barrier Reef, visiting World War
II sites and viewing Middle
Age and Renaissance architecture without setting foot
outside their school. Students
peered into the cardboard
boxes, and excitedly talked
to each other about what they
were seeing and where they
were going.
A much-anticipated program is coming up this week
a first-ever Dinner and
Book event, where students
and their families are invited
to come in and enjoy a sub

sandwich meal and pick out
a book to take home with
them. Guest readers including a veterinarian, police
officer, mail carrier, firefighter, pilot, weatherperson,
school board members and
Badger athletes will be on
hand to help out.
Sveom, said shes excited
about the level of participation
from the community, and how

it can help promote reading
among young students.
We ve h a d c l o s e t o
1,000 books donated by our
families, she said. Were
already at about 300 participants.

Thursdays 158-164 win over

Stoughton started to show signs
of what thinking differently on the
course can do.
Not only did everyone shoot a 42
or better on the par-34 back nine at
Foxboro Golf Course, but besides
penalty strokes leading to double
bogeys, there werent a lot of high
numbers from chipping or putting.
We have been working really
hard on that (chipping and putting)
in practice. A lot of the guys pretty much always want to use that
60-degree or that 58-degree wedge

The Panthers traveled to

Quann Park on Thursday
looking for the programs second win over Madison Edgewood. Oregon was unable
to recapture the magic that
led to their only win over the
Crusaders, though, falling 6-1
against its Badger South Conference rival.
Moved from No. 2 doubles
to No. 3 singles, Logan Piper
took the teams lone win 6-1,
7-6 (4) over sophomore Hunter Dunn.
Spencer Krebsbach and
Sam Ast won the second set
but were unable to best Daniel
Garlock and Jack Beste, falling 7-5, 3-6, 6-1.
Returning seven of 10
players from a team that has
finished runner-up at state
the past two seasons, including two of the top Division
2 players in the state, Edgewood won three of four singles events and swept all three
doubles flights.
Oregon junior Calvin
Schneider took six games off
Edgewoods Cecil Lingard,
who played into the fourth
round of last years Division 2
state tournament at No. 1 singles. Schneider fell 6-2, 6-4.
Senior Noah Colletti, who
was also a seeded player at
state, beat Oregon junior
Charles Donovan 6-2, 6-0.
Chris Boll added a 6-2, 6-2
win over Sam Schaeffer at No.

Girls soccer
Panthers get impressive

start to conference season
ANTHONY IOZZO
When comparing the Oregon High School

and Stoughton girls soccer programs the past
few years, it would not be a stretch to say that
the Panthers would be favored, but this year is
different.
Besides the defending WIAA Division 2
state champion Panthers trying to build their
team back to being one of the best in the state,
Stoughton has a mixture of young talent with
speed and captain leadership that is growing
together to make the Vikings a much stronger
opponent.
But Thursdays 4-0 win by host Oregon
proves the Panther are on the right track for
2016, especially since three of the goals came

in the first 13 minutes.
When you can get a lead like that early,
it takes the pressure off you at home, head
coach Julie Grutzner said. You never know
what to expect in a conference game. Any
team can be beaten and that is what I keep telling my girls. I was very pleased with how we
came out with the aggressiveness and scored
three really nice goals.
We are just continuing to build. We are
such a young team. We are just trying to get
players in and get them comfortable at the
position. It is nice to get our first conference
win.

at 47 degrees and a blustery wind ripped through
competitors and spectators alike, did little to slow
Oregon senior Alex Duff.
Duff, a University of
Northern Iowa recruit,
not only won three events
Tuesday evening in Monona Grove, but he broke or
tied three OHS boys track
and field records in the
process.
Oregon claimed four
other events to finish second to Monona Grove in
the triangular 79-61. Madison Edgewood was a distant third with 45 points.
Duff began the meet
in the 300-meter hurdles
where despite clipping
the final two hurdles he
bested his own school
record of 38.8 with a
38.58. His time puts him
within striking distance
of the WIAA Division 1
state record 37.49 shared
by Madison Memorials

and Beloits Chris Pearson

Duff then turned his
attention to the 200 dash

event in 22.22.

Soccer: Oregon shuts out Watertown

Oregon (5-1-1 overall,
1-0 conference) might have
several players back from
the state championship run
last year, including all of the
girls involved in Thursdays
scoring, but there were some
holes left on both the midfield and defense, leaving
room for improvement with
the starting 11 and the bench.
But after a tie with Sun
Prairie to open the season,
Grutzner said you can see
the girls starting to settle into
their roles and jell as a club.
Gritzner said that one of the
new varsity members, freshman defender Sydney McKee, has started to make plays,
including a block against a
Stoughton shot Thursday that
could have gone in.
I went my whole bench
tonight, but in most games
we are going eight and nine
deep this year, which last
year when we won state
we were going four deep,
Grutzner said. So we are
really starting to see some
good things from them. They
are handling the pressure.

Each game, they are getting
more confident, and were
starting to click more.
Is it always going to pretty? No, but I am confident
that where we are now and
where we can be is just going
to continue to go up.
Senior forward Jen Brien
got things going in the second minute with a nice breakaway goal following a long
pass from junior midfielder
Brittyn Fleming. Brien stayed
onside, sidestepped Stoughtons defenders and had a
one-on-one with Stoughton
senior goalie Hannah Wood,
burying a shot in the upperrighthand corner.
Then less than six minutes
later, junior midfielder Holly Kaboord passed through
to Fleming near midfield to
get the offense going again.
However, Flemings was contested and ended up kicking
toward the net. The ball took
a couple of odd bounces and
ended up in the back of the
net for a 2-0 lead.
Brien then added an unassisted goal five minutes later.
The Vikings started to

buckle down after the start
and Oregon went scoreless
until junior midfielder Madelyn Peach scored in the 52nd
minute to make it 4-0.
Oregon junior goalie Abby
Breitbach finished with two
saves, while Wood had seven
for Stoughton (2-4, 0-1).
The Panthers travel to
Madison Edgewood at 7p.m.
Thursday. They go to Uihlein

Logan Piper earned Oregons lone win over Madison Edgewood at Quann Park on Thursday, defeating

With fourth-ranked Prairie

closer against the Crusaders.
We didnt play our best
certainly, and we need to
play our best and then some
to even come close, Conklin
said. We matched up pretty
well with Prairie School. We
took a chance today, moving
Logan over to singles. That
worked but then we needed
our doubles lineup to come
through. We were close at 1
and 2 dubs, but that didnt
happen.

Rehrauer and Ast earned
Oregons lone win, defeating
Sam Rechek and Lyle Obaid
6-0, 6-2 at No. 3 doubles.
Piper and Krebsbach nearly
pulled out their No. 2 doubles
match 7-6, 0-6, 10-8.

The Panthers picked up
wins from the top of singles
lineup: Schneider 7-5, 3-6,
10-8 over Tommy Calvy and
Donovan 6-0, 6-3 against
Justin Strauss; and and added
6-4, 6-3 win by Krebsbach
and Piper at No. 2 doubles
against USM.
It wouldve been great
to win one it was close,
Conklin said. Overall though,
we had a nice bounce back
from last week. It was great
to get two wins against Marquette the number one team
in the state even if they were
testing their top guy. Then we
mixed our lineup around as
well.
Oregon 7, Monroe 0
The Panthers hosted Monroe on Tuesday and dropped a
mere four games combined on
the way to a convincing 7-0
shut out.
Bychowski, as well as Oregons top two doubles teams

around the green. I am just

trying to give them ideas and
different options they can use
and depending on their circumstance what they should
do, Mess said. I think I have
seen all the guys really make
strides there. Instead of just
automatically reaching for
that 58 or 60, they have been
thinking, Hey, this really my
best shot here.
I understand if you make
a mistake because it is golf
and not all of your swings are
going to be perfect, but make
that mistake only cost you
one stroke, not two or three or
four.
Sophomore Ryan Candell
led the way for the Panthers
with a dual-best 35 (1-over
par).
I putted pretty well. I
struck the ball decent and just
had my head in it the whole
day, Candell said.
Besides Candell, freshman John Klus shot a 40 and
senior Brandon Rogers shot a
41. Seniors Brandon Michek
and Matt Risser both finished

with 42s, with only one score
counting toward the dual
score.
I am really proud of how
they played. They did go out
and practice the back nine
yesterday because usually we
play the front, so I think that
helped us to figure out a few
clubs, especially on some of
the par-3s, Mess said. They
played solid. They got into a
few interesting predicaments
out there a couple of times
and just made really smart
decisions and didnt end up
with any really big numbers
which really helped.
Stoughton was led by
senior Austin Kotlowksi with
a 38, while senior Ian Sutton
followed with a 39. Senior
Jack Buckles was next with
a 40, and senior Drew Bellefeuille finished the scoring
with a 47. Junior David Graffins 48 was thrown out.
The win moved the Panthers to 1-1 in the Badger
South, while Stoughton
dropped to 0-3.
We like beating them
because we dont very often,
Candell said. I think we have

grown a lot as a team and
improved over the past twoand-a-half weeks. I think we
will be good contenders at
conference and sectionals.

Making their own city

STEAM progression continues in Brooklyn
McCarthys first grade class
learned about the properties
of light, testing the opaqueness of plastic filters illuminating their model of an
ancient Egyptian tomb.
SCOTT DE LARUELLE
For examples of STEAM

in action, theres no better
place to look than Brooklyn
Elementary, where principal Kerri Modjeski said the
program has been a progression in recent years to
the point where its now part
of the regular routine. This
year, students have been
busy working on a Terrace
Town project, computer
coding, 3-D printing, and all
sorts of creative ways to help
spark a love for learning.
We look at it two ways;
one, to engage and excite
kids; two, to tie elements of
science, technology, engineering, art and math into as
many areas of the curriculum
as possible, she said. What
I love as both a parent and an
educator is that children start
to see real-world connections
of topics that can sometimes

Ethan McOwen put some final touches on the schools Terrace
Town project at Monona Terrace on April 21.
be taught in a segmented
fashion.
Modjeski said students
began to work on Hour of
Code programs about three
years ago, and its grown
ever since, with Coding
Club set up for third- and
fourth-graders during their
Friday recess periods.
Students are now doing 3-D

printing using Tinkercad,
creation using 3-D pens,
MakeyMakey, Marble Runs,
Hot Wheels Speedometry,
creation with LED lights,
and building stations for
remote vehicles/solar boats,
to name a few. Earlier this
month, students in Megan

Towns e-mail list to receive agendas at
townoforegon@mailbag.com. It is possible that members of and possibly a quorum of members of other governmental
bodies of the town may be in attendance
at any of the meetings to gather information; however, no action will be taken by
any governmental body at said meeting
other than the governmental body specifically referred to in the meeting notice.
But perhaps no STEAM

project this year garnered as
much hard work or positive
attention as the schools
fourth-graders Terrace
Town project, displayed last
week at Monona Terrace in
Madison.
Since its inception in 2000,
Terrace Town has introduced
architecture and community design to area elementary school students, teaching
them how cities are planned
and emphasizing the unique
character of their hometowns. Cardboard boxes and
a variety of other household
materials are used to model
ideas.
The project embodies
much of what STEAM is all

about combining subject
areas and allowing them to
work collaboratively toward
a common goal. This year,
BKE fourth-graders spent
several weeks designing
and building their city, and
proudly displayed it last
week at the event.
The event itself was a
whirlwind of motion and
sound, as hundreds of students were busy making final
adjustments to their cities,
which were laid down on
large pieces of tarp. There
were plenty of smiles and
excited looks on Brooklyn
students faces as they talked
to passers-by about the various parts they worked on,
explaining even the smallest details, such as what
materials they used, and why.

BKE fourth-grade teacher Kelli Massey said the
project incorporated many
aspects of STEAMs focus
on project-based learning, as
students teamed up to form
various committees to solve
problems across many disciplines, contexts, and subject areas they came across
while constructing their city.
They had to work together to solve problems that
involved spatial reasoning
and mathematics when building their homes, public buildings, and roads, she said.

NKE students use outdoor classroom for STEAM
SCOTT DE LARUELLE
STEAM efforts this spring are

geared toward the coming growing
season and how students can utilize
science, math and even some artistic
abilities as they grow, maintain and
transplant plants. NKE fourth-graders
recently planned and created a Zen
Sand Garden, using mathematics to
identify line-symmetric figures and
draw lines of symmetry.
Its all part of an ongoing outdoor
classroom project started this fall
between Netherwood and Prairie
View elementary schools that will be
a focal point of STEAM projects, said

NKE principal Chris Kluck. He said
students have been busy in the past
few weeks growing a variety of plants
and vegetables theyll soon transplant
to the raised garden beds in the area.
For students, its fun, but also work
gaining the scientific knowledge
about how plants grow, using math
to figure out how long it takes seeds
to turn into plants and when to transplant them, and using their creativity
in landscaping their outdoor classroom. Of course, the harvest will also
be educational, and something they
intend to share.
We look forward to the students
and the community benefiting from

the healthy food that will be produced, he said.
This year, second-grade students
have been growing seedlings and next
month, will help plant trees around
the playground area to add more natural shade. Kluck said later in the year,
hell collaborate with PVE staff to
work on a master plan to more fully
build out various learning stations in
the outdoor classroom spaces between
the two elementary schools.
