Character in Action Wautoma Area School District

Subhead

Students in the Wautoma High School 18-21 Program have various job opportunities in the school. These different jobs and tasks improve their work ethic, learn money management skills but also build their values and principles of understanding responsibility and doing things to help other people.

These students are responsible for the vending machines at the high school. They take care of stocking and handling the money. Pictured are Andrew Taubitz and Andreanna McElroy working together to stock the vending machine with soda in the teacher’s lounge. These are just a few of the students at Wautoma High School who display the character trait of Integrity on a daily basis and always with a smile.

Over the past several years, Wautoma Area School District staff members have collaborated with the guidance counselors to promote character education throughout all four schools. The WASD Character Education Committee believes it is important and necessary for staff, students, parents, and community members to help instill these values in the next generation

Planning is currently underway for the second district-wide Character Day on Wednesday, Oct. 12, and the committee is looking to get the community involved. Any volunteers or community organizations interested in working with the WASD Character Day Committee should contact Julie Petersen (petersenj@wautoma.k12.wi.us) or Courtney Vaughan (vaughanc@wautoma.k12.wi.us) for more information.
