Julie Tavs - I really appreciate Julie sending out the Homecoming and Back to School newsletters. They have been extremely helpful to me as a parent. I don't remember receiving the homecoming information last year when my son came in as a freshman. Even though he is a sophomore I did not know some information that was printed and therefore appreciated it being communicated to me as a parent. Thank you, Julie! Ginger Hummer |

Mary Johannes - Ms. Jo, Again, thank you for all you did for us! Coming into a school year in the middle of the year is hard; you made the transition for Ethan and us wonderful. You've loved him like you're own and we are forever grateful for your kindness and compassion. While Ethan misses his friends and school in AZ, he loves his friends, school and you more. Blessings, The Hughes Family |

Emily- Thank you so much for all you do! With our first child starting kindergarten for the 2017-2018 school year, we were all excited and a bit nervous. You have truly gone above and beyond! Thank you for helping coordinate our pick ups and drop offs for after school care. Thank you for following up on any changes when our teachers are not available to clarify things. Thank you for asking when our daughter voices one plan when I had already told you a different plan. Thank you for helping us understand the process of everything from lunch, to recess to school supplies to field trips to volunteering. CEELC has so much to offer- the information is overwhelming. The teachers are phenomenal- from Bonnie Tuttle maintaining an online art gallery for family to participate in nationwide to Maria Marking having scan bars on hallway projects to hear kids talk about their class projects posted in the hallway. From the school nurse letting us know every injury and outcome, to openness for volunteers to the librarian sharing new book ideas specific to our child. It truly takes a village and I appreciate all McFarland does to be modern, family friendly and employ such AMAZING people! Having seen first hand other school districts nationwide- make no mistake- we are truly blessed to have such an incredible, proactive an engaged team of educators here in our little village. Emily Broome, Bonnie Tuttle and Maria Marking (plus all the others!) THANK YOU for all you do! |

Mrs. Tuttle - Thank you for all the work you do in sharing the children's artwork. I love that I can easily share the kid's artwork with grandparents!

Megan Albrecht, Laura Boyd, Karen Hanson, Tracy Hohn-Paulat, Ann Bruhn, Diane Buhalog, Sarah Goecks - When people say that it takes a village to raise a child it is so very true.

Mr. Herbst - He is always there for his kids. He answers our questions when we ask and he makes class fun. I have had him for 3 years in middle school and I remember that in 6th grade I was so scared to begin middle school. I met Mr. Herbst and he told me that if I ever needed help with school I can talk to him about it. Even though now that im in 8th grade, I still go to him for any type of problem. He always has my back. Thank you for a wonderful 3 years Mr. Herbst!! Lindsey Olson |

Our daughter loves Kindergarten so much that she's frequently sad when she misses a regularly scheduled day. This is most certainly a reflection of her amazingly kind, patient, and thoughtful teacher, Ms. Heim. Her encouraging and compassionate manner have landed her very highly on my daughter's list of favorite people. :) We very much appreciate all that she does! |

Mrs. Cook, we very much appreciate how you have nurtured Priya throughout the school year. We were worried about her transition into big kids school because she tends to be reserved and concerned about doing everything perfect. Thank you for creating an environment where she felt comfortable to make mistakes and focus on doing her best. We couldn't have asked for a better first big kid school teacher. Thank you for all you do! Jesil & Christy |

Megan Albrecht - Thank you for all the extra time you have spent with James. We can tell how much you care about the kids and although I only see it with James I know you make each kid feel that special. Thanks for celebrating with our family on 3-21 with crazy socks. Cleanly teaching is passion and a gift not just a job for you! James has also told us several times we can not go on vacation if we have to miss 4K ....can give you much more of a compliment than that! Thanks Jessica |

Thank you Mrs. Litz for everything you have done for Bradey this year. You have been such an incredible influence on her! Because of you, her whole outlook on school and learning has drastically changed for the better. I have never seen her be so motivated, determined, and focused in school. She has shown so much more responsibility for her own school work and achieving her goals. Because of you, and how much fun you have made learning this year, she has become a completely different student and grown on a personal level as well. You will be one of the teachers that we both will always remember. Again, thank you, we appreciate you!! -Mckenzie Klein |

Sometimes you don't fully appreciate a teacher's influence until your kids are older. Both of my children have been beneficiaries of Mr. Kvalheim's care, and have mentioned his role in their success. He understood each child as an individual, and keeps tabs on them now that they're in high school and beyond. He encouraged their passion for other cultures and lit a fire for their learning.

Ms. Schaaf, Ms. Miller, Kendra Shelton, Diane Buhalog, Karen Hanson - Ms. Schaaf and Ms. Miller have gone above and beyond in providing an excellent educaction for our son who is in 4K this school year. We were nervous about 4K as our son has speech and OT needs, so we were nervous about all of those experiences weaving together and how that would look. Through the excellent teamwork between Ms. Schaaf, Ms. Miller and the Special Education team (particularly Kendra Shelton, Diane Buhalog, and Karen Hanson) our son has grown so much this school year and has just blown us away with all the wonderful and amazing things he has learned this year! It takes a village to raise a child and McFarland has shown what an amazing village it truly is through the excellent relationships formed within the school district. We also feel so blessed that our son was able to continue his early learning experiences at CLM and are so thankful for all the staff at CLM and in the McFarland School District. THANK YOU for all you do!!!!!! |

When we moved to McFarland last Spring, we decided to have our children finish the school year out in the district they were enrolled in, and then start transitioning during summer school in McFarland. On that first day of summer school, our 5th grader came home excited about quite a few of her classes, one of them in particular, as she had enjoyed being in that class because of her teacher, Ms.Eversoll! Ms. Eversoll had made an impact on our daughter because of her warm, nurturing spirit and her teaching approach. Our daughter had a few classes with Ms. Eversoll during Summer School, and the remainder of the Summer, our daughter wished and wished that Ms. Eversoll would be her 5th grade homeroom teacher, and fortunately that wish came true! Ms. Eversoll has been absolutely amazing because of her warm, nurturing, and kind spirit, and her teaching approach and the experiences she had provided the class with; which has helped our daughter and I'm sure her classmates in having a more comfortable and enjoyable learning experience. My daughter jokes with me how much more organized Ms. Eversoll is (I thought I was pretty well organized until I walked in to Ms. Eversoll's classroom, wow!!!!! Talk about organization!!!!). This organization has rubbed off on our daughter which will be helpful for middle school. The experiences our daughter has had, I'm sure she will carry with her thru life. On a side note: it has been an even more awesome experience having Ms. Eversoll as my daughters teacher, as Ms. Eversoll's Mother (Signe Eversoll) was MY teacher for 3/4 grade (I LOVED having Signe Eversoll as my teacher and am beyond excited that my daughter has her daughter as a teacher as I see firsthand the education evolving for the next generation, and see and hear that Ms. Eversoll has carried on the legacy of Signe Eversoll with that kind, warm, and nurturing spirit and all that organization). That is one of the things we absolutely LOVE about McFarland, the unique experience of of so many teachers/former teachers having children of their own now teaching in McFarland. Thank you for making McFarland such an amazing and wonderful place for our children to learn and grow!!!!! |

Starting 4th grade in a new school and new district can be a bit intimidating, but our son quickly settled in as he was happily welcomed by all his classmates and all of the teachers and staff at WIS! It was an even smoother transition for our 4th grader to have Mr. Meeks as his home room teacher! Mr. Meeks has been an absolutely amazing educator for our son, in addition to teaching the academics in school, he has also taught mindfulness, creativity, respect, and so much more that we are sure our son will carry with him through his life! Thank you for going above and beyond for providing such an excellent and diverse education for our youth! |

I don't know where to begin in telling you how great Mrs. Wisniewski has been. My daughter has grown so much in her class this past year. Mrs. Wisniewski has encouraged our daughter and praised her for her hard work. The classroom has been such a fun and exciting place to learn this past year. From learning from mistakes to celebrating successes, Mrs. Wisniewski has been there for her with encouragement! |

Mrs. Gray has been such a wonderful teacher! My daughter has blown us away with the knowledge she has gained this past year. Every morning I confidently send her into school knowing she will in a safe, fun and loving environment! My daughter has been expressing sadness over having to move onto a new teacher next year, but the good news is with the new school she?ll still get to stop by and say hello! Thank you for making kindergarten such a wonderful experience! |

Recently, a mouse ran through Ms. Reigstad's class while she was teaching social studies. The mouse was caught, and the students all asked if they could name it. So they voted, and the mouse was named "Westin Sticky Spartan." I know this because I've heard the story told more than once with so much joy. I appreciate Ms. Reigstad's willingness to stop what she was planning to do, go with the moment, and let the kids create this fun memory. Julie Harrison |

Our daughter was on the fence about track this year. Now I'm hearing her talk about her fitness, feeling good about working through challenges, and having fun. Thanks for everything you and the other staff are doing to create a good experience for the kids and fostering the nexus between personal responsibility and success. |

Mary Johannes - You know you have an amazing teacher when your child doesn't want the school year to end. Ms. Johannes, lovingly referred to as "Ms. Jo", has done just that for our daughter. From the sharing of many fun stories of her childhood, to teaching early algebra and exploring the lost art of diagramming sentences, Ms. Jo epitomizes what it means to be a great teacher. Thank you Ms. Jo, for connecting with our child on a different level and making learning fun! |

Brenda Eckel - Thank you for being you! You are an amazing educator. I am amazed at your ability to adapt to the needs of each individual student. You have a wonderful talent (and patience!) for supporting and encouraging each student. You have made a HUGE different for our daughter--who now loves math!!!! You are very much appreciated. Thank you for all you do! |

Our son is experiencing his best year yet and we owe it Mrs. Schmaling! Susan's patience and encouragement has been nothing short of amazing. She takes the time to get to know her students and find what makes them thrive. We are beyond grateful for all the staff at McFarland Primary and for our son's ability to have Mrs. Schmaling as his teacher! Thank you!!! |

We would like to recognize and thank Mr. Pellman, Tech Ed teacher at the high school. Not only is he is a great teacher, but he can really relate to some of the students--all of who are very smart--who don't thrive in a traditional classroom setting. His energy and technical expertise are second to none and he has been a great teacher and mentor to our son. We feel fortunate that there is at least one teacher in the high school who recognizes that not all kids love school and that in fact school can be a very hostile, unfriendly, unwelcoming place for some. His classroom is really a safe haven, and for at least 84 minutes every other day I know my son is in a happy place. He shares his own stories of disliking school with the kids and makes them feel like everything will be ok in time as they find their niche in life. Thank you for being a teacher and having a classroom where all types of learners are welcomed, appreciated, and supported. We need more teachers like you!! |

My daughter loves Mrs.Frank. She has done such a great job making my child's 5rd grade experience awesome. She is such a caring and compassionate teacher and has the children's best interest in mind. She has taught my daughter many things. Mrs.Frank is such a great person. Thank for all you do. |

We are so fortunate to have Mr. Mendl in our music program. He has raised the bar for our choral department to a higher performance level. He is always on the lookout for venues that will challenge our singers and push them to exceed their own expectations. The musical theatre productions, the Blue Notes performances and the choir programs are all top notch. Thank you for all that you do! |

Mr. Swinea - My daughter was dealing with an issue with one of her peers. Mr. Swinea encourages the kids in his class to communicate concerns that they have. She decided to email him with her concern. He emailed her back over the weekend. I was touched by the thoughtfulness and kindness of his response. Sometimes these types of issues bring up the most important things that our children learn in school. Thank you Mr. Swinea for treating my 4th grader with such respect and integrity. I am so very thankful. Lisa |

STU SCHAEFER and NICK WEISS, AND STAFF! - A VERY SPECIAL SHOUT-OUT to STU and NICK and the EARLY MORNING Pool staff (among others, Kelsey, Kat, Nicole, Andrew G.....) for the WONDERFUL WARM welcome that they greet us with each and every morning for lap swim--- regardless of the weather outside! Their, wit, humor, motivational "lectures series," and instruction ENERGIZES even the most reluctant swimmers! The "meditation bench" used by some of the Master Swimmers has been a great addition to the pool deck. In addition to facilitating "ALL-THINGS Lap-swim and MORE!", to observe Nick, Stu and the crew (teacher aids and pool staff) working with some of the younger special needs students that start off their school day in the pool is HEARTWARMING. The individual attention, instruction and creative FUN that they facilitate for these young kids is nothing short of stellar! Simply put, our community is VERY BLESSED and FORTUNATE to have the multiple programs that this gifted and dedicated staff, under the leadership of Stewart and Nick, and Staff offer! THANK YOU!

I would just like to give a BIG shout out to Ms. Lemens and Ms. Bouzek for the wonderful work that they did with the IMMS play. This is the first play that my daughter has been a part of a performance and you blew my expectations out of the water. I am thankful for all of the time and effort you put into the play. Organizing that many kids is nothing but a small miracle. You did a fantastic job. I'm looking forward to my daughter participating in future plays!! |

Thank you to Heidi Robbins, 4k teacher at GBH, for all she does day in and day out for her students. Heidi always greets kids with a smile, interacting with them and letting them know how happy she is that they're at school every single day. Her positiveness and excitement for learning really shows and trickles down to her students. Thanks Heidi for being an amazing teacher and for all you do! |

Heidi Robbins has completely eased any tension we had about our first child entering the public school system. She is so kind, warm and gracious about answering all of our many questions about 4K. As first-time parents, we had no idea what we were doing, and she has never made us feel silly or out-of-place. We've both volunteered to spend time in the classroom and she is always so welcoming and genuinely happy to have us there. She is always on the ball with email updates and reminders- even on the weekends! It's clear that teaching is more than just a job to her. She truly cares about all the children, and parents. Our son loves her as much as we do, and we are so grateful to have her as his teacher! --The Kroll/Griggel Family |

Special thanks to Ms. Brady for encouraging not only our son, but other students as well, through the youth apprenticeship program. What an amazing program for ALL careers. It's an amazing opportunity for kids to try out a job before committing to continuing on that career path through college. This program has really helped our son with making a career choice we know he will be happy with. He did a bit of switching through his two years in the program, but we are thankful Ms. Brady stuck by him and help to support him through this. THANK YOU!!! |

I wanted to give a shout out to Ms. Kleijwegt! My son never enjoyed English class, but last year, as a junior he not only enjoyed the class, he reached out to Ms. K over the summer to help him with submitting a sponsorship request for biking and she assisted him with this by proof reading his essay and making suggestions. She always went above and beyond in helping him with this writing. I appreciate the time she gave our son and will always remember her for that! |

Ms. Gibbons is amazing! She takes the time to work one on one with my son and gives him encouragement when he feels like he is failing. She got him through finals, and hopefully passing subjects that were not easy for him. She communicated with me many times during the semester about concerns and had wonderful ideas to work with my son! Kudos to you! Thank you so much! |

Our daughter has always felt a bit disconnected because her sport was not one that was recognized as a "school sanctioned" sport. It has been very hard for her to connect with her classmates because of this. While we have always insisted that school was the most important thing in her life, I'm quite sure that her "sport" has always felt more important to her than academics. Fast forward to 9th grade. She had the fantastic opportunity to have Ms. Bazan as one of her 9th grade teachers. Our daughter found a new interest in school. Life went on as usual, with little sparks of a new understanding; a new love of learning and pride over academic accomplishment. She really connected with Ms. Bazan! Grades were good in most subjects, but could have been better. She didn't give up. (Transition from middle school to high school was tough for her.) Our daughter specifically chose a class in 10th grade that Ms. Bazan would be teaching. We already knew that she felt connected with Ms. Bazan. The connection and "fire" was definitely there! We are now at the end of first semester, 10th grade. What has changed with another semester/class with Ms. Bazan? EVERYTHING! Our daughter's light switch has been turned on!!! She loves ALL of her teachers but Ms. Bazan will always be her favorite. Our daughter has found the importance of planning ahead, in studying, and in preparing for exams! She has connected with the long term importance of academics! She has an incredible yearning to do her best! She connected with Ms. Bazan in a way that is different than with any other teacher -- ever! We love the changes and growth in our daughter and can't possibly say THANK YOU enough! I'm quite sure that Ms. Bazan is a big part in this growth! The skills and understanding that our daughter has learned will help her through the rest of her high school years and also throughout her college years. THANK YOU MS. BAZAN for connecting with our daughter in a way that she has never felt before! We will be forever in your debt! Exceptional Service Award? You've earned it in our minds! |

Emily Broome and Sheryl Leemon - Thank you for all you do for our students and staff! You are constantly interrupted by: ringing phones, doorbells, questions from students, parents and staff, yet you keep a smile on your faces. You cover the Health Office when nursing staff is away, and work to fill last minute absences. We appreciate everything you do (too many things to include here)! |

I have never met such a hardworking teacher. She puts her entire heart into her work and into her kids. She stays long hours, asking nothing in return. She does everything in the kids' best interest, sacrificing so that they can succeed. We need more people like Mrs. Klaas in the educational system. Teacher of the year for sure. In fact, teacher of the last four years, too. -Trixie |

I could be here all night listing the reasons why Mrs. Steinke is an amazing teacher. Long story short, she's doing a lot of things right. Thanks so much! |

Ms. Beam and Ms. Lown have done such a great job making my child's 3rd grade experience awesome. They are such caring and compassionate teachers and have the children's best interest in mind. They took time to get to know my child, which has made such a difference in his educational experiences. Thank you for all that you do! |

Sometimes, by the grace of God, you and your child get a teacher who is so compassionate and patient and above all, kind. She is gifted. You start to think that this teacher is too good to be true. She cares for your child as much as you do but she did not carry him for nine months and go through the 17 years with him. She is just that rare, highly educated teacher who is underpaid and underappreciated and is willing (thank God!) to go back every single day to do it all over again. Additionally, not only does she speak parent, she also speaks teenage boy... FLUENTLY (a language I only speak with minimal proficiency myself)! McFarland won the lottery when they hired her. She is the diamond in the MHS crown! Words will never express the admiration and gratitude I have for this SuperWoman. She is truly a remarkable lady and we are better people for knowing her. Marla Conner, you are a much cherished blessing to our family. Your name is spoken with reverence in our house. With Deepest Gratitude and Warm Regard, Sonya Lessner |

IMMS Science Thank you to Mr. Coleman, who has made science an intriguing adventure for our daughter. She is excited about science on a daily basis, it's her favorite class and in part, because of his excellent teaching, our daughter is considering a career in the medical field. She considers herself a STEM kid and it is the one class she talks about the most, frequently sharing what she's learned and is wondering about, relating to science. Thanks, Mr. Coleman, for making science come alive for our daughter. WE APPRECIATE YOU! |

Thank you to Mr. Kinnaman for being such an advocate for technology and robotics. His expertise, leadership and perseverance has carried over to his students. He goes out of his way to encourage our "STEM kids" and to bring in more students under the STEM umbrella. We will always be grateful for the valuable teaching he has given our daughter. |

Jackie Hickey has been so generous with her time and expertise in leading the Destination Imagination teams over the years, including taking last year's team to Globals. She is even ambitiously attempting to combine a high school and middle school team this year, requiring lots of extra time on her part. Through this, she honors individual's ideas and models & teaches collaborative behavior with talented and gifted kids, which is a challenge. Her upbeat attitude and positivity is an inspiration and her dedication is very much appreciated! |

Alison Potter and the Nurse Staff within the McFarland School District are wonderful. Not only does the staff care for the students with ongoing medical needs or concerns, but also for every student and staff if needed. That is over 1000+ people in the district each year. That is a huge job to fill. Thank you for your service, time and care for the McFarland School District, students and staff. |

Chris McGrath has been and continues to be an incredibly positive influence on my daughter. She has always held her teachers to a very high standard, and I'm pleased to say that Mr. McGrath has exceeded those standards in a way very few ever have. He engages students in such a way that they leave his classroom and repeat stories from history to their peers and families. He makes history accessible and relevant by helping students to recognize the present in the past, and making historical figures and episodes personal, exciting and often downright funny. Mr. McGrath is a gem of a teacher, and I sincerely hope McFarland High School knows what a valuable instructor they have and keep him for a long time to come. |

Patience is a virtue. I've witnessed multiple accounts where Mrs.Heim holds it all together without raising her voice or getting frustrated at all. Anyone who has worked with a group of kids knows how hard it can be to get their attention or have them listen. She is amazing and those kids adore her. Thank you Mrs. Heim for making kindergarten such a wonderful environment for these kids you are one of a kind!! |

Over the years our kids have had a number of really incredible teachers in the McFarland schools and we have appreciated them all, but Andy Meeks goes above and beyond as an educator. My 4th grade son is excited to go to school each and every day, and it almost is exclusively because of the outstanding learning experience that Meeks provides his students. The dedication and care that Andy Meeks demonstrates as an educator is truly remarkable and we would just like to say thank you. |

We would like to give a Shout out to Ben Peterson! Mr. Peterson is a teacher who truly loves his job! He is always and I mean always in a happy mood! We love having such a positive roll model for our son. We always hear funny Mr. Peterson stories at the dinner table (mainly about how he sings along to the music, in his Mr. Peterson way). Our son loves band! In fact so much that he joined Jazz band! Thank YOU Mr. Peterson for opening the world of music to our son! We appreciate YOU! The Paugel Family |

We would like to give a shout out to Ms. McCosky! Kathy has been a wonderful teacher for our son, when he transitioned last year to high school. She is very organized and on top of whatever question we ask! She has a very calm demeanor, which is exactly what my son needs. Kathy knows when to step in and when to step back. Thank YOU Kathy for all of your extra hours, effort, patience, guidance and love you have given our son. WE see it and appreciate it. The Paugel Family |

Mrs. Paugel has been the best part of kindergarten for my son. Her sense of humor mixed with her apt knowledge of her craft makes me want to keep him there forever, metaphorically of course. I know he has to go on to first grade :-) She has his best interest in mind ALWAYS and keeps class fun and engaging. My kiddo is leaps and bounds ahead of where I thought he would be- and I have Amy to thank for that. |

Ms. Johannes - Routinely our son comes home excited to share with us all the awesome things you do in the classroom. We are fortunate to have incredible teachers in McFarland, and you are bar none.

Mr. Krueger is a stand-out educator among a huge pool of fine teachers in our McFarland district. My daughter has some physical challenges and Mr. Krueger was instrumental in keeping her engaged in all the great activities with her peers. He helped foster friendships in class, suggested and used tools and lesson modifications to help her excel, even built a custom desk for her. His class will likely always remember the fun they had with their elaborate, kid-produced class drama production and their end-of-the-year water fight. We really appreciate his evident love of his job and the exemplary way he does it! |

Eli Norsworthy drives our high school aged son to and from a special school in Oconomowoc every day. She is so reliable and always so pleasant every time we see her. Often times, people assume since our son is non-verbal that he doesn't understand so they just don't speak to or try to interact with him. Eli, EVERY morning asks him how his night or weekend was and talks to him, and interacts with him. She is wonderful with our son and genuinely seems to care about his well-being. My husband and I never worry when Eli is in charge. Thank you so very much Eli for going above and beyond and for everything you do. You are awesome!! P.A. |

Mr. Meeks is a phenomenal teacher, he cares about his students so much. Over the winter break he wrote my child a letter about looking forward to the next year.

Over break we received an email from Mrs. Mandli about my son's class pets. He was so excited to read it to us and tell us stories about first grade. It takes a special kind of teacher to go the extra mile and send a message like that over a much needed, well deserved break. My son loves first grade, and I know it is because his teacher makes every day an adventure. Thank you Karin! |

This weekend I had the pleasure of listening to your HS choir singing at the mall in Madison. What a treat! Congratulations on having students who represent your school with such class and talent! Often we hear about our students making the wrong choices- I witnessed your students making a great choice! Thank them for making my day at the mall a joy!
