Class of 2013: Andy Stasik Helps Children Fight Illness
Catholic Memorial High School senior is overcoming his own disability while working to save the lives of other children through his fundraising efforts.
Andy Stasik’s dreams of owning a golf course go beyond the love of the game. For Andy, golf’s been his one and only shot at being a high school athlete. “It is a game that you can play all your life,” Andy said. “With my medical problems, I have been actually able to play golf, unlike other sports. I got really into it.” Andy, a Muskego resident, was about 1 years old when he was diagnosed with severe combined immune deficiency. As a young baby, his upper body muscles were attacked, leaving permanent damage “I lost most of my muscles in my hands,” Andy said. “I can’t open my hands at all.” But he hasn’t let his disability slow him down toward his path to graduation. Andy will receive his diploma at Catholic Memorial High School on Sunday…

No blue blooded Catholic could resist a Catholic Memorial versus Divine Savior no holds barred rugby scrum to the death. How appropriate that our elitist parochial schools promote such bone crushing violence as sport to our impressionable young girls, who, not yet having experienced menarche, must at all costs, win the powder puff World championships, at all costs. more ›

By writing this article in the way it is presented it sounds like suspensions are a bad thing.

It's becuase of articles like this that schools become scared to act on behavioral situations and push problems under the rug so they don't look bad statsitically. more ›
'She Just Had a Passion To Give Back'
Jennifer Podhora, 28, of Waukesha, had a tremendous impact on the Elmbrook middle school students she worked with before she passed away from cancer.
Last September, the students in Jennifer Podhora’s classes were thrilled their teacher was back at Wisconsin Hills Middle School. She had started at the Brookfield middle school in September 2011 but her year of teaching was cut short because she needed cancer treatment. She stepped away from the school in spring 2012, focused on her health and was told she was cancer free last summer. “Kids are amazing in that they will always rally around someone in need,” said Principal Robyn Martino. “I think they felt like they were truly instrumental in making her smile. … She definitely made a difference in the kids’ lives.” The victory was short lived. The cancer came back last fall and Podhora again left Wisconsin Hills Middle School. She was …
