By: Wesley Klages
Amanda Nelson, Family and Consumer Science Teacher at Waupaca High School, received a Rotary Education Grant for purchase of supplies so her students could prepare foods from recipes they created to participate in the Wisconsin Department of Education Whipping Up Wellness Student Chef Competition. Recipes are evaluated on their nutritious content and potential for being included in school menus. 

Friday, March 1st, 8 Rotarians visited classes to sample the dishes prepared to provide feedback to the culinary students before they submit their recipes. Attached are some pictures from this visit.

Honoring Greg Biba

At our meeting on Wednesday, March 13th we celebrated Greg Biba and all that he has done for the middle school band program and music in Waupaca.

Features of the meeting included:
Music. The Waupaca High School Jazz Band - which includes several of Greg's former students - performed a selection of tunes.
Messages: Students and faculty who have worked with Greg will offered remarks to Greg.
Paul Harris recognition: Greg Biba was presented with a Paul Harris recognition, an honor made possible by donations from other members. The award is fitting for Greg, recognizing that he is part of Rotary International's worldwide commitment to promoting peace, fighting disease, providing clean water, sanitation, and hygiene, saving mothers and children, supporting education, growing local economies, and protecting the environment. 
Donation to Make Sure The Beat Goes On: Funds collected prior to the meeting, and given at the breakfast to be used to repair and replace instruments used by students in Waupaca's Middle School and High School bands. Making sure students have access to instruments is a cause Greg has championed.
