Donations support Nekoosa backpack program; board welcomes new behavior interventionist
Summary
The board acknowledged multiple community donations (including $200 for lunch debt assistance and $1,000 from Rainbow Chapter No. 87) that support backpack and family assistance programs; the board also announced Karen Reed as a new Behavior Interventionist at Humpke Elementary.
Dave read a list of community donations to the district, including a $200 gift for lunch debt assistance from Port Edwards United Methodist Women, $1,000 from Rainbow Chapter No. 87 (split between backpacks and family assistance), and other monetary and in‑kind contributions raised by local events and donors. The district noted a quilt raffle and community fundraising at a Nicholas High School event contributed to the backpack program.
Board members asked about how many families would be helped; Linda estimated roughly 30–35 families would be served this year. The board also welcomed a new hire: Karen Reed, Behavior Interventionist at Humpke Elementary. The board encouraged ongoing donor engagement and suggested inviting program managers to present updates to the board to sustain community support.
