Community supports Walworth Jt. School District #1
It is said that it takes a village to achieve success. In being honored by the Wisconsin Association of School Boards, the Walworth Jt. School District #1 certainly received help from community partners.
Those honored include: Little Professors Learning Center LLC, Onvoy/Badger Plug, Livingston Contracting LLC and Harvard Nursery, and Lake Geneva Psychology.
"We are thankful for our partnerships and excited to continue working together in the future," said Phill Klamm, district administrator of Walworth Jt. School District #1.
Here is a look at the connections between the school districts and the partners that were honored:
* Little Professors Learning Center LLC has been a long-time partner of Walworth Jt. School District #1. This year, under the leadership of Amy Faul, Little Professors has moved onto district property with a lease agreement, making its services even more convenient for Walworth families.
In addition to relocating their business to increase ease for Walworth families, Little Professors has also improved numerous areas of the school building, including but not limited to, the outdoor play area, the atrium and the infant room.
In addition to services to the youngest students, Little Professors also took the district theme of #BetterTogether to heart and unified numerous businesses in a monthly gift-card giveaway for middle school students.
* Onvoy/Badger Plug – The team at Onvoy/Badger Plug really stepped up for the district's Holiday Gift Program this year. It donated well over $1,000 worth of various gift cards to the district program to give out to families during the 2021-22 holiday season.
* Livingston Contracting LLC and Harvard Nursery – These groups teamed up to beautify school landscaping. When the original quote was out of range for the school budget, Livingston Contracting, led by Stan Livingston, worked with Harvard Nursery to come up with a way to improve the school grounds within the available budget.
When all was said and done, both companies ended up donating over $5,000 worth of materials and work to complete the project. "Since the project has been completed, numerous community members have commented on the beautiful improvements to the school grounds," said Klamm.
* Lake Geneva Psychology – The district values the partnership that has been created with Lake Geneva Psychology, a group of dedicated psychologists who seek to serve the community by providing effective, evidence-based treatments.
In addition, Dr. Amy Sosa and her team have brought their expertise to the school by providing consultation services and staff professional development in the area of mental health.
"We are incredibly thankful for this partnership and shared vision of supporting our students’ health and happiness, while helping them reach their fullest potential," said Klamm.
