Food for Thought for Kids is one of the Sheboygan County Food Bank's growing programs in partnership with 26 local schools that's dedicated to getting fresh fruit and other easy-to-eat food into the hands of children facing hunger.
Today they kicked off their Fund Food for Thought crowdfunding campaign on National Teacher Appreciation Day to rally the community to raise money for Food for Thought for Kids. Help them reach their goal of enrolling 50 more children, making sure a total of 500 kids don't go hungry on the weekends during the 2024-2025 school year. Families in our district receive this support! Donations can be made online at https://sheboygancountyfoodbank.app.neoncrm.com/forms/15?campaignId=22

We are excited to release the information below about our Fab Lab grant! #WIFabLab #strongclassrooms #strongcommunityconnections
WEDC awards Random Lake $24,000 Fab Lab Grant Funds to equip high-tech lab, prepare students for jobs of the future:
The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) announced that Random Lake is the recipient of a state grant to fund new fabrication laboratory (fab lab) facilities, which will equip Wisconsin students with essential skills for the 21st century’s global economy. Random Lake was awarded $24,000 to create a fab lab.
“Fab labs provide students throughout Wisconsin with access to high-tech equipment for hands-on experience and training necessary to prepare them for the jobs of the future,” Governor Tony Evers said.
“We are pleased to award more than $493,000 to 18 school districts today so they can establish or expand their fab lab programs,” Governor Evers said. “These great spaces for learning are of enormous benefit to students directly, of course, but also their communities by fostering collaboration, bolstering access to technology, encouraging innovation, and inspiring the next generation of leaders.”
WEDC’s Fab Labs Grant Program is designed to support hands-on learning in the subjects of science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics (STEAM) by assisting public school districts with equipment purchases such as 3D printers, laser engravers, computer numerical control routers and plasma cutters for instructional and educational purposes.
“WEDC has invested over $5 million for the past nine years with 211 grants to 125 school districts across the state, funding for the equipment necessary to help students learn high-demand skills, including technology, manufacturing and engineering,” said Missy Hughes, secretary and CEO of WEDC.
“Fab labs benefit the students themselves with important technology and career skills, as well as Wisconsin employers, who will be able to find workers with the right skills to allow their companies to grow and thrive,” Secretary Hughes said.
Including Random Lake, 18 school districts throughout the state are being awarded over $493,000 in Fab Lab grants this year to establish or expand their fab labs.
Dr. Trimberger stated, "This grant reward is another example of our commitment to building the career pathways our students are asking for. I could not be more excited to see the great equipment our students will have access to with this grant."
Fab labs have the potential to benefit individual students, school districts, the surrounding community and Wisconsin’s economy as a whole. For more information, visit WEDC’s fab lab resource page or follow #WIFabLab on Twitter.
