Students at Wisconsin Heights Elementary participated in a food drive to support Heights Unlimited.
During the first two weeks of December grade levels competed with one another to see which grade could collect the most items. Our 3rd graders came out on top but overall we were able to collect 1,261 items that weighed in at 711 pounds!
We are grateful to be part of a community that is so caring!

The #VanguardPride elementary students did! What a fun scene!
Mr. Marx's #VanguardPride biotech class worked with Dr. Jon Roll, a UW-Madison professor of Bacteriology and his assistant, April, a Phd candidate, on a biotech lab where they isolated plasmids to make Ecoli bacteria glow in the dark. In a separate lab, students genetically altered yeast cells that they took for the FACS classes and the end result of the lab - yeast glowing in the dark.
