October is Anti-Bullying Awareness month, and Muskego schools are taking the opportunity to re-emphasize their focus on prevention and intervention.
Whether it's a drop in the bucket, or a call to "act now," Muskego schools are taking a closer look at bullying this month. October is anti-bullying awareness month, and programs in the schools aim to indentify, prevent and intervene whenever possible to handle the "bully problem." At Mill Valley Elementary, a proactive approach called "Have You Filled a Bucket Today?" aims to reward positive behavior along with calling out negative actions by students and staff. The "bucket" concept allows everyone at the school to "turn in" fellow students or staff when they're caught doing something good, not just when it's something they could get in trouble for. "We're trying to teach kids to be bucket fillers by treating others with respect and …

Students, teachers and special guests gather at the flag to honor the sacrifice of many, then and now.
Lake Denoon Middle School commemorated the anniversary of 9/11 on Friday in a brief, but meaningful ceremony. Gathered around the base of the flagpole under overcast skies, the students heard from School Resource Officer Eric Nowicki, who read a poem called "The Day the Sky Stood Still" as well as from Lisa Alberte, an RN who assists brain injured patients at Acres of Hope and Inspiration. Alberte brought two veterans, Winlom Woods and Dave Halula, who were injured; Woods was shot in the head in Iraq, and Halula, a Muskego High School grad, was injured in a car accident just a week before his deployment. She told the kids that the men were a living testament to the continuing impact that 9/11 has for many. "This day changed many lives …
