share his gift with his peers. He has been a very active member of
both PEAK and PAVE and takes his responsibilities in those groups very
seriously. Assign Kyle a task, and you can count on him to follow
through and do a great job. All this and he’s just an all-around
nice guy. Brooke is a senior at PHS and has been involved in a number of
high school activities including volleyball and softball. Along with
her activities, Brooke is an outstanding student who is willing to step
up and help whenever needed. She has proven throughout the year to

Prairie Elementary students celebrated Arbor Day and
hold the banner recently received by the City of Cottonwood proclaiming
Cottonwood as a "Tree City USA."
3rd and 4th Graders at Prairie Elementary School spent
some time learning about our forests during a presentation Friday for Arbor
Day. Glenn Poxleitner from Bennett Forest Industries taught us about
different tree species, forest sustainability, and different risk factors
facing our forests today. We learned also about a lot of the tools
used by foresters and how many different things we use that come from trees.
“Timber Twister” was a highlight from the presentation as shown by the
picture. The morning was completed with awesome t-shirts and a chance
to wear a hardhat and hold a chainsaw! Teachers, Mr. Wassmuth, Mrs.
Riggers, and Mrs. Schumacher would like to thank Glenn and Bennett Forest
Industries for the wonderful Arbor Day treat!! Shown are the children playing
Timber Twister.

Kindergartners and first grade students from Prairie
Elementary School and the Summit Academy toured St. Mary’s Hospital last
week. They were divided into two groups led by Brenda Kaschmitter
and Cheri Holthaus, SMHC employees. The students toured the lab, radiology
department, operating room and emergency department. They also visited
the inside of one of SMH’s ambulances before adjourning for milk and cookies
in the dining area. Angie Ahlers, EMT, talked to eager ears about
the supplies aboard an ambulance and how to use 9-1-1. “We do the
tours for two reasons,” said Kaschmitter. “One, it reduces any fears
the children may experience if they have to come to our hospital for an
emergency, minor surgery or for a doctor’s visit. Two, the tours
are great fun for everyone!” The hospital sponsors a tour for the younger
students each spring. They are shown flashing the ‘casts’ they
received while in the ER.
