Ms. Heitman held cooking classes for EES students as part of our ECSD Extended Experience grant we received.
Tonight, we gather to bid a fond farewell to some remarkable individuals who have dedicated their hearts and souls to the growth and prosperity of our school. It is with both joy and sadness that we announce the retirement of our esteemed staff members who have contributed so much during their time with us.
As they embark on a new chapter in their lives, we cannot help but reflect on the countless memories and achievements they have brought to our school. Their unwavering commitment, passion, and expertise have left an indelible mark on both our institution and the lives of the students they have touched.
To our retiring staff members, please know that your impact extends far beyond the walls of our school. You have not only shaped the minds of countless students but have also left an indelible impression on the very fabric of our community. Your legacy will continue to guide and inspire future generations of educators and learners.
Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors, and may the next chapter of your lives be filled with boundless happiness and adventure.

Tractor Safety
The Tractor Safety course for 2023 in Pierce County will be offered this spring for youths 13-15 years of age. The Federal Child Labor Law, established in 1970 states that a person under the age of 16 cannot be employed for driving a tractor on farms not operated by their parents or guardians until they have completed a tractor safety course and become certified. Participants must be 14 years of age to receive this federal certification on their fourteenth birthday. Wisconsin Act 455 prohibits any child under the age of 16 to operate a farm tractor or self-propelled implement of husbandry on the highway unless the child had complete tractor safety certification. Wisconsin Act 178 establishes a minimum age limit of 12 to enroll for this type of certification. The students must attend all classes and pass the course to receive certification. The course teaches youth about tractors and farm machinery. They learn how to operate the machines safely. They also learn about safety features connected with operation and use of machines. The course includes classroom and practical instruction and the youth are tested on knowledge and operation of a tractor. Students who enroll are required to have a Social Security number before they can be certified. Application forms for Social Security numbers are available at banks and post offices.
