We want to take this time to wish you a very Merry Christmas. Many people like to think about all the gifts and celebrations that happen on this holiday. It is very easy to let yourself get lost in all of the festivities. It is very easy to forget what this time is really all about. Christmas, however, does not have to do with the gifts that you did or did not get. No matter how big or how small, those gifts cannot compare to God’s gift to humanity. The gift of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ is the greatest gift of all. “For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul?” Mark 8:36 As we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, we encourage you to take a few minutes to contemplate what this means for us. The Creator of the Universe desires a relationship with each and every one of us. He proved his love for us despite our sinful condition by sending Jesus Christ to be the perfect sacrifice for sin in our place. God, in essence, sacrificed a part of himself because he loved us so much. May God’s blessings be upon you this Christmas,…

The Dangers of vouchers…Trump’s voucher plan. Below is a link to a 38 minute podcast on vouchers and their danger by KrisAnne Hall, lawyer and Constitutional advocate. There is a full all out push coming and it will be led by DeVos. If successful it will accomplish putting parents under control of federal gov. This will increase money spent by the feds on education from $540,000,000 to $130 billion ($20B from the feds and $110B from the states) if the Trump plan is implemented. This will be a mechanism of control of all parents/children under the poverty level if they sign on to new voucher programs. If they take the money, they will have to take the mandates of national curriculum and national methodology. https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/krisanne-hall/episodes/2016-11-29T07_29_17-08_00 #StopDeVos #Trump #StopCommnonCore #WakeUpAmerica #KellyanneConway #TCOT #CCOT #CommonCore

Common Core – Get the Facts 9.5.14.
Steve Kauffeld is a member of the Watertown School Board and a member of the Rock River Patriots. March 8, 2014 Letter to the Editor, On Thur Feb 6 th , the people’s voice was stymied, by an orchestrated public hearing lead by Sen.Luther Olsen who is chairman of the Senate Education Committee. The hearing was on Senate Bill 619 co-sponsored by Senator Leah Vukmir and Senator Paul Farrow. I try to attend various legislative hearings in Madison and other locations around the state, particularly those I have a vested interest in. Being a school board member, I have had considerable interest in the implementation of Common Core standards in our state’s public schools. I don’t know what is more galling to me, the political gamesmanship proffered by Sen Luther Olsen with his AP interview two hours before the hearing was held, stating that this Bill was dead, the preferential treatment given the DPI, CESA administrators, our district school superintendent and their staff and supportive teachers, or the subsequent AP article published in the Watertown Times Fri. March 7th, page 7, first section. I could write an entire article on the bias shown and misrepresentations printed in that article….
