Badger Boys State is a week-long summer camp for Wisconsin's top incoming Seniors to learn more about how government is run and how to be a better leader. This year's #PointerNation representatives were Griffin Albaugh, Jackson Busch, and Marcus Cool. Thank you to the American Legion for sponsoring!

A big congrats to #PointerNation's Dealya Collins who placed 6th in the 16U Girl's Freestyle national competition in Fargo and was named an All-American for the third time. She also qualified for the 2022 U15 Pan American Team Trials. Way to go!

At last week's School Board meeting, the Board approved the hiring of Dave DeVoe as our new Maintenance Director. Dave is a familiar face, working for the district since 2018 as a middle/high school custodian. Let's welcome Dave to his new role!

We are excited to showcase our #PointerNation Seniors with Scholarship Spotlights! A sincere thank you to generous donors who helped our graduates earn nearly $1 million in scholarships!

We are very proud to recognize our #PointerNation employees marking milestone Years of Service at the conclusion of the 2021-22 school year! Please join us in saluting our twenty, twenty-five, and thirty-five year recipients!

School supplies are starting to hit store shelves! Lists are available for the 2022-23 school year here: https://mineralpointschools.org/mpsd/supply-lists/

Children need healthy meals to learn. Mineral Point Unified School District offers healthy meals every school day. Please apply for Free or Reduced meals to help ensure all children are at their best each day! Unlike the last two school years, meals will NOT be free for all students (regardless of income status) because the Federal School Meal Waiver expired June 30, 2022. More info and the application form can be found here: https://mineralpointschools.org/mpsd/free-reduced-lunch-program-application/

The Mineral Point Unified School District is searching for substitutes -- come join the great place that is #PointerNation!

• Teachers

Contact Angie Schubert at 608-987-0740 for more information.

If interested in substitute teaching, CESA 3 is having a training in Fennimore August 2. New substitute teachers in Wisconsin need the minimum of an associates degree and certified training (like this workshop) to obtain a license. The next scheduled training will likely be in November, so getting the school year started with a license in hand is the best plan.
