At Lincoln School, 6th grade students from Mrs. Stark and Mr. Casper's class recently worked on architecture project.

The project is called Bridge Building. The students formed teams that consisted of an architect, an accountant, and a project director. These teams were then required to build a bridge that was aesthetically pleasing as well as strong. The students were given a budget of over a million dollars to "purchase" the supplies needed to build the bridges. These supplies included little wood sticks and wood glue. 

The bridge breaking ceremony was held on Tuesday, June 10th at Lincoln School. The bridge that held the most weight was declared the strongest bridge. There were other awards given this day as well.

Mayor McCue and City Engineer Craig Faucett came to critique the bridges and gave advice on how they could improve their bridges. The students really enjoyed meeting them and listening to their suggestions. 

Everyone is invited to attend the 2nd Annual Family Health and Safety Day at Lincoln School.

At Kosciuszko School, all the students plan to decorate Earth Day bags for the Pick N' Save on Packard Ave.  Earth Day bags are regular brown Pick N' Save bags, which the students decorate with Earth friendly messages and illustrations. The bags will then be distributed at Pick N' Save on Earth Day - April 22.  These bags will serve as a reminder to the public to take care of our environment.

It's holiday generosity in its finest form.  The building staff for the Cudahy school distict, the Cudahy Education Association, the Kiwanis organization, and First Reality pooled their resources this holiday season in exchange for big smiles.  Door to door, volunteers delivered food, clothing, toys, and household items to 32 families in need (81 children) within our community.
