Haunted Mill a Frightful Experience
November 27, 2014
Being Thankful for
Our School and
Community
By David C. Dyb, Ed.D.
District Administrator
The Mill has plenty of history behind it,
and before each tour, the tour guides told
two true stories about the building.
One story was that the boy scouts of Iola
adopted the stream that runs through the
mill. One day, while cleaning up garbage,
they found a Mason jar with a decomposed
finger inside of it.
The second story was about the family
that previously owned the mill.
In the late 1860s, two brothers by the
names of Jacob and Conrad Wipf owned the
mill. The youngest brother’s son John was
working in the mill one day. The 15 year old
boy accidentally got his head stuck in one
of the belts of the machines and died of his
injuries.
The Thanksgiving
season is upon us and
I cannot think of a
better time to thank
the Iola-Scandinavia
community for their
on-going commit- Dyb
ment and support of
our school district in providing our
students with a future of hope, opportunities and endless possibilities.
As our newly adopted mission statement reads, “The Iola-Scandinavia
School District partners with our families and communities; engage, prepare,
encourage, and inspire our students as
they embrace opportunities to learn
and become contributing members of
society.”
The strength and success of this
school district is the foundation of our
great community and for that we are
truly thankful.
As adults, it is easy for us to express
this, but what about students? How often do we hear our own children moan
and groan about school, let alone indicate any type of gratefulness for their
education?
Yes, many of our students do work
very hard in their learning, but at the
same time how do we instill a mindset
in them to be thankful for their education long before walking across the
stage?
In reflecting upon these thoughts, I
decided to do a little research into the
topic.
What I found was that children really want to learn when they are excited

The Junior Class had an outstanding response to their Haunted Mill fundraiser
these past couple of weeks.
The Iola-Scandinavia students worked
very hard on creating a Haunted House located at the historical Iola Mills owned by
Tom Fucik.
The students, parents including the Junior Class Fundraiser Advisor Jill Willems,
gathered to meet and discuss the plan for
this event, and spent weeks working on ideas
for decorations, costumes and food to present to the community.
On Oct. 24, 25, 30, 31 and Nov. 1, the
Haunted Mill ran from 5-7 p.m. as a milder
version for kids, while the 7-9 p.m. time was
a frightful experience for an older crowd.
On Oct. 26, from 4-6 p.m., the students
presented an extremely tame version for
younger children to attend after trick-ortreating to view the mill, and receive some
special treats as well.
The students were given a specific area to
be a part of, in which a student and parent
leader took charge to decorate. Some areas included a haunted forest, bar, zombie
apocalypse house, séance room, little girl’s
bedroom, execution stage, morgue, waiting
room and even a hospital scene gone wrong.
The actors worked very hard to impress
the audience, but screams were more appreciated than applause. Not only were there
actors throughout the haunted house, but
there were also tour guides who led each
group through the spooky mill.

The “My Community Writes” puzzle was pieced together in the hall so

National Day on Writing
By Terrell Bonnell
and Izzy Carper
On Sept. 29, 2010, the Senate passed
RES.668 expressing support for the designation of Oct. 20 as the National Day on
Writing.
To celebrate composition in all its forms,
Iola-Scandinavia High School and Middle
School puzzled out the importance of writing in everyday life together.
Throughout the day on Monday, Oct.
20, every student in the school was provided an opportunity to explain why writing in all academic areas is important on
a puzzle piece. Here are some examples of
what students said about the importance of
good writing:
“In psychology I write because it helps
me reflect on what I learn about in class.
It also helps me to express my feelings towards what we learn and focus on class.”
(high school student)
“In Science I write because I need to apply our methods used in other classes to
everything. Another reason is because it is
how researchers and scientists communicate their knowledge and findings.” (high
school student)
“In Language Arts I write because later
in life I want to know how to write good
complete papers to get into college and
good jobs or simply be able to talk and
write.” (middle school student).
“In Art Portfolio I write because it helps
to reflect on my artwork. I also write technically to plan things, like dimensions and
materials of my artwork.” (high school student)
“In Math I write because when I write
in my notebook, I can come back to it and
practice remember(ing) the steps correctly.” (middle school student)

and receive positive support
about what they need to
learn.
An appreciative and
grateful attitude by students
would have a positive impact on the success of any
educational system. So the
question remains, what can
be done to foster this?
It starts with bringing a
positive attitude in ourselves
as adults, staff members and
parents.
When the adults in
children’s lives run down
schools, coaches and teachers in their conversations,
how can we expect children
to think and act any differ-
ent?
When these same individuals model appreciations for
our learning opportunities,
children will come to appreciate those things as well.
This represents the fragile
tipping point for any community and school district.
As I reflect on this for our
own community, I truly feel
we are on the positive side of
the equation.
It certainly is not easy to
help children learn to appreciate the finer things in life,
like education, that many
simply take for granted. At
the same time, it is just as
difficult to avoid the temptation of being publically
negative towards an issue.
But as we move forward
as a school district, it is essential that as adults we continue to help children understand the commitment
our community makes to
them each day through our
support.
We all want to see our
community’s most precious
resource, its children, receive the best education and
opportunities possible, and
for that, I am truly thankful.
So, during this fast approaching holiday season,
let us take a moment and
share with our children the
importance of being thankful for all the wonderful
things in our lives.

It is with great pride and
pleasure that the kindergarten through sixth grade
students of Iola-Scandinavia
Elementary School invite
you to attend the upcoming musical presentations on
Dec. 11.
“A Martian Christmas”
will be presented by the K-2

Aquatic Center gymnasium.
The 3-5 students and the
Sixth Grade Band and Chorus will present “Jingle Bell
Jukebox – The Flip Side”

School Gym.
Your children have
worked very hard in prepa-
ration for this performance
and feel a great deal of satisfaction and ownership in
it. Please join us, as these
young musicians want to
share their talents with family and friends. This is certain to be an event you won’t
want to miss!
If there are any parents
out there willing to assist
with the preparation, please
contact me at danielsonc@
iola.k12.wi.us. Thanks!
The K-2 Christmas program, “A Martian Christmas,” is an exciting program
that helps teach the lesson
about choosing to do the
right thing. This program
shows that change can open
your eyes and hearts to many
by helping others when they
need it!
The 3-5 grade Christmas program, “Jingle Bell
Jukebox – The Flip Side,” is
the sequel to last year’s program. We’ll be singing for
you the “flip side” of the record in the jukebox: all new
songs, and of course plenty
of dancing! The 6th grade
band, and 6th grade chorus
(the full 6th grade class) will
be performing for the evening’s program, as well.
There will be no admission fee, but we will be accepting freewill donations
for the Elementary Music Fund to help purchase
props, costumes and equipment for programs like the
one you will see used.
We will have a DVD available for friends and family,
so don’t worry if you forget
your camera. It will include
only the K-2 program.
The cost of the DVD will
be $10. All proceeds will go
to the Elementary Music
Fund.
Please feel free to email
me or call the school at 715445-2411, ext. 511 if you
have any questions.
Don’t forget the K-2 program is at the Fitness Center
Gym again this year!
The colder weather has
really begun to bring everyone indoors and we are
finding our facilities in great
demand. It has been a lot
of fun meeting everyone
who is working out and improving their overall health.
Basketball players have been
working on their game every
morning and night as the
season has begun.
During the first two weeks
in November we have held
swimming lessons and have
had a tremendous response
to our session offerings. The
instructors have done a great
job and we finished up our
last night on Nov. 13. The
smiles say it all when the
classes end every night.
We are excited to have
several of my employees
and myself certified in the
Strong Bones Program. This
workshop teaches how to
improve muscle mass and
strength, improve bone
density and reduce the risk
for osteoporosis and related
fractures. Reducing the risk
of diabetes, heart disease,
arthritis, depression and
obesity are benefits of the
program.
We are planning staff
training on Dec. 15 and
will offer classes shortly af-
OB
ter training has been completed.
The Walk for Cancer
raised $400 for local families at the end of October.
The funds will be dispersed
in the form of gift baskets
and gas cards to families
that are fighting cancer. If
you know someone in our
community that may need
some assistance, contact us
at the front desk of the ISCFAC.
I met with the Central
Wisconsin Electric Cooperative and the CWEC Wellness Committee to look for
ways to partner and improve
the staffs’ overall health and
wellness. We hope to partner with them soon.
We are also partnering
with Mr. James Besaw, a
Licensed Massage Therapist
who will be at our facility on
Mondays. You can contact
James for appointments at
920-422-4101.
Last week we added a
new spin bike to our cardio
equipment and it has been
very popular. If you would
like a ride, stop in and see
us – we would love to show
you it and any equipment
we have.
Good Luck T-Birds in all

The ghost of John Edwin Wipf is still seen by several
people around the mill today.
These stories set the tone before entering the haunted
building.
Overall, 1,052 people were able to experience the firstever Haunted Mill in Iola. Also, a donation of 183 food
pantry items were given.
Everyone, even from out of town, were so impressed
by the success of the truly scary haunted house.
“The first time I went through the mill I was really
scared,” Claire Bestul said. “I think the Haunted Mill
was awesome, and the Junior Class did a nice job of putting it all together.”
It was so great to hear of all of the positive things that
everyone had to say about this fundraiser.
The Junior Class extends special thanks to those who
went above and beyond to keep the Haunted Mill on
track and running.
First off, the owner Tom Fucik, and Katelyn Hoffman
for their help and service throughout the process of creating the Haunted Mill.
Roxanne Kobs provided several decorations that were
featured in the Mill, and gave plenty of creative ideas
and advice.
Also, Walt Kobs who handled money and tickets and
organizing all of the profit details.
Thanks to Betty Aanstad for working hard on providing decorations and hours of work to run and complete
the mill.
Finally, to Marie Skowen, Kori Printz and Joy Kurki
who spent hours working, and acting, even though they
were not a parent of a Junior student.
Thank you to everyone who was a part of this special
event, and to the people who supported the event by
coming for a tour.
The first year kicked off a great start to a new tradition
here in Iola.

Staff Training on Suicide Prevention
Jane Myhra Photo
Peace Poster winners included seventh graders
Grace Harbridge and Lexi Glad.
All 4K-12 professional
and office staff participated in a suicide prevention
workshop on Friday, Oct.
24.
The workshop was presented by Sandi Moore,
suicide prevention specialist
and retired counselor from
Fox Valley Technical College.
As professionals who interact daily with students,
educators are in a unique
position to help prevent suicide.
The Question-PersuadeRefer (QPR) program is
designed to help adults help
someone who may be considering suicide.
The QPR mission is to
save lives and reduce suicidal behaviors by providing innovative, practical and
proven suicide prevention
training. Quality education
about suicide prevention
empowers all people, regardless of their background, to
make a positive difference
in the life of someone they
know.
QPR consists of three
life-saving skills:
• QUESTION a person
about suicide.
• PERSUADE the person
to get help.
• REFER the person to an
appropriate resource.
A question and answer
period followed the twohour presentation.
Suicide prevention and
mental health resources
were shared with all staff.

QPR training, you may visit: www.qprinstitute.com.

Guidance Office Update
By Robin Tomski
Guidance Counselor
SENIORS: I would like
seniors to continue coming
in to work on college and
technical college applications. As an overall class,
you are doing an outstanding job preparing yourselves for a quality education after high school.
Applications are being
sent out daily. Our seniors
have already been getting
acceptance letters from
various educational institutions.
If you plan on attending Fox Valley Technical
College, you have an opportunity to take the Accuplacer test right here at
our school. If you plan on
attending any of the other
technical colleges in Wisconsin, I can help you set
up a time to take this test at
the FVTC site in Waupaca.
JUNIORS: Parent/student meetings are happening throughout the year,
at a rate of approximately
three per week.
These meetings, where
we have an opportunity to
discuss the future plans of
our junior students, have
been well received and I
believe most people have
enjoyed and benefited
from getting together.
You may call to set up
a meeting anytime this
school year by calling Lau-
ren in the Counseling Office at 715 445-2411, ext.
305.
Juniors interested in going to a four year college
will need to take the ACT
test. Please check www.actstudent.org for dates and
registration information.
Junior year is an ideal
time to take the ACT.
ALL JUNIORS will be
taking the ACT Plus Writing on March 3 and ACT
WORKKEYS on March 4.
Please plan for this! It is a
state requirement.
ALL STUDENTS: Just
a reminder that grades
which create grade-point
averages and class ranks
are important information
that colleges use to make
decisions about you getting
an opportunity to attend.
In addition to grades,
it is a very good idea to
always make sure you are
being challenged by taking courses which will
prepare you for whatever
career you will be pursuing
someday and the education
you will need beyond high
school.
PARENTS & STUDENTS: We will be signing up for classes for next
year between the Thanksgiving and Christmas
break. Parents, be on the
lookout for materials coming home regarding next
year’s course offerings.

Quick & Easy Breakfast Ideas
There are times when adults
and children over sleep or are
running late, rushing out the
door and getting breakfast
while on the way to school.
Selecting breakfast foods that
have lower calories and fat
such as an English muffin with
egg and low fat cheese are a
healthier option than pancakes
with syrup. Yogurt with granola
and fruit provides a nutritious
breakfast. Smoothies made with
real fruit and protein and are
low in sugar can also provide a
nutritious breakfast.
10 Ways to Avoid Holiday Weight Gain
Never Arrive Hungry
Don’t go to a party when you’re starving. Try to
have a nutritious snack beforehand. Drink some
water to fill up.
Divert Your Attention
Don’t look at the party as just a food event.
Focus on something other than food.
Pace Yourself
Chewing more slowly will fill you up with less food.
Count Your Canapés
It’s easy to lose count of how many you eat.
Keep track by stashing a toothpick in your pocket for
each one. Set a limit and stick to it.
Outsmart the Buffet
Use the smallest plate available and don’t stack your
food. Watch out for sauces and dips.
Limit Beverages & Alcohol
Many holiday drinks are loaded with fat & calories.
Be Choosey With Sweets
When it comes to dessert, be very selective.
Limit your indulgences to small selective portions.
Bring Your Own Treats
Perhaps fruit or a lo-fat option.
Limit ‘Tastes’ While Cooking
Instead of tasting mindlessly every few minutes,
limit yourself to two small bites of each item pre- and
post-seasoning. ”
Walk It Off
Make a new holiday tradition: the family walk.
Besides burning some extra calories, this will get
everyone away from the food for a while.
