MPSD Board Purchases Student Artwork

MPSD loves art! This week, the MPSD Board of Education purchased artwork from three students, continuing an annual tradition that began in the 1990s. This year's honored student artists were:
Evangeline Manjarrez-Hernandez, who under the guidance of Manitowoc Lincoln High School Art Teacher Emily Weinberger, created a floral batik. Batik is a wax-resist dyeing technique that originated in Indonesia used to create intricate patterns on fabric.
Inara Butler, who under the guidance of Washington Middle School Art Teacher Tim Jadowski, explored the style of abstraction and color theory using prismacolors.
Samara Soto-Nieto, a kindergartener under the direction of Madison Elementary School Art Teacher Morgan Siebold, who created a watercolor showcasing her craftsmanship and knowledge of shape and color.
The chosen artwork, which was also exhibited at the @RahrWestArtMuseum will be displayed at MPSD's Central Office for all to appreciate in the years to come. Our art department appreciates that we have the opportunity to continue the tradition - it's such a wonderful opportunity for our students.
Lincoln Celebrates 177 Youth Apprentices
At Youth Apprenticeship Awards Night, MPSD Supt. Lee Thennes thanked Manitowoc Lincoln High
At Youth Apprenticeship Awards Night, MPSD Supt. Lee Thennes thanked Manitowoc Lincoln High School's employer mentors "who are truly the backbone of our program, serving as educators in the field and role models for our youth."
"Lincoln High School has become a leader in School-to-Work programming, not just in our region but in the state," Thennes added. "In 2016, we had 32 youth apprentices. This year we have 177." Those 177 students work at 85 employers, including MPSD itself, which hires 21 YAs to serve in various educational and IT roles. This year, YAs worked a combined more than 100,000 hours, earning collectively $1.5 million!
"Folks from across the state have asked us, how do we make this program so successful?" The answer is simple. It's because of the people. The consistent and passionate leadership out of our School-to-Work Office with Bonnie (Proszenyak), Ashley (Waniger) and Kristin (Donahue), has made all the difference." Assisting the Lincoln office, especially with regional business partnerships and coordination, is Molly Stolp, a CESA 6 Youth Apprenticeship Coordinator.
To the 85 employers who work with the MPSD, Thennes added: "Thank you for believing in our kids, and thank you for helping us build a brighter future for our community."
Did you know? Lincoln was one of the first high schools in Wisconsin to offer Youth Apprenticeships, starting its program in the 1995-1996 school year with 15 students and it has been offered ever since. Lincoln has grown to be one of the largest YA programs in Wisconsin!

Lincoln Students Travel in France
Vive la France! A 25-year friendship between Manitowoc Lincoln High School and Lycée Marc
Vive la France!
A 25-year friendship between Manitowoc Lincoln High School and Lycée Marc Chagall in Reims, France continued this spring as LHS held its first France Live exchange since 2018! From March 12-20, 34 French students and their teachers traveled to Manitowoc to live with MPSD families and explore Wisconsin. One month later, 24 MPSD students and three World Language teachers flew to Reims and Paris, France for a 10-day exchange stay with their French families and host siblings, from April 22 to May 1.
In France, Manitowoc students attended school, visited various communities in and around the Champagne region, and lived with their host families. They ended their stay in Paris, visiting many of the world famous monuments that they have studied in class. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for many of these students and one that they will not forget!
Thanks to our teacher chaperones — Madame Holly Paquette-Neu (French), Madame Kim Calaway-Laubuge (French) and Herr Chris Glandt (German) — and to all the host families in Manitowoc and Reims!

Thennes Hired as MPSD Superintendent
The MPSD Board of Education is pleased to announce that Lee Thennes, a veteran MPSD teacher,
The MPSD Board of Education is pleased to announce that Lee Thennes, a veteran MPSD teacher, principal and administrator, has been selected as the district's next Superintendent.
The Board appointed Thennes as Interim MPSD Superintendent last September, and he was one of three finalists who interviewed with Board members and two panels composed of parents, staff, students and community members. The Board hired Thennes at its April 29 meeting.
Thennes said it is an incredible honor to be selected as superintendent. “I am deeply committed to our students, staff, families, and community, and look forward to building on the district’s strengths while working together to create even greater opportunities for every learner,” Thennes said. “Our future is bright, and I’m excited to lead the district on this continued journey of excellence, innovation, and student success.”
All MPSD elementary schools could have new youth sports programs such as basketball and running
All MPSD elementary schools could have new youth sports programs such as basketball and running clubs next fall, under a proposal approved by the Board of Education.
Expanded youth sports opportunities will not only help strengthen MPSD's middle and high school athletic programs but also increase student engagement in elementary schools, which has shown to increase student attendance and academic achievement.
Supt. Lee Thennes told the Board, "We are thrilled to announce an exciting proposal. This initiative aims to expand our elementary sports programming for the 2025-2026 school year to include all schools and introduce several new sports options.
"We firmly believe that engaging students in sports at an early age fosters a stronger sense of belonging within their school communities, a factor that research consistently links to higher levels of student achievement. Additionally, introducing sports to more students at a younger age has the potential to strengthen participation in interscholastic athletics at the middle and high school levels.
"By broadening access and encouraging greater participation, we also anticipate that this initiative will enhance the overall competitiveness of our athletic programs across all sports in the years to come. We look forward to sharing more details and working together to bring this vision to life for our students."
Manitowoc Lincoln High School phy ed teacher and strengths and conditioning coach Michael Longmeyer
Manitowoc Lincoln High School phy ed teacher and strengths and conditioning coach Michael Longmeyer donated white blood cells for a matched man with stage-four leukemia.
Longmeyer got a call out of the blue in August, asking if he remembered that nine years ago, when he was a student at UW-Stevens Point, he stopped at a college rec center table and gave a cheek swab for the NMDP "Be The Match" national bone marrow registry. Now, all these years later, he was a match. Longmeyer didn't hesitate to help, and went through various tests, paperwork and ultimately drove to Milwaukee to do the donation, which was swiftly flown to the recipient. Longmeyer's students were impressed and inspired, with some saying they want to be like him and join the national registry once they turn 18.
THANKS to Preston Stober at NBC26 for this great story! And thanks, Coach Longmeyer, for being such a great role model for your students and athletes!
