Welcome Mrs. Lindsey Nelson, our new literacy-focused Kindergarten teacher to Johnson Creek.
Mrs. Nelson is a recent graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. She earned her degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Spanish and is pumped to begin her career at Johnson Creek Elementary School! Mrs. Nelson married her high school sweet-heart this past summer and adopted a spunky cat named Molly. Mrs. Nelson loves anything that gets her outside or exploring. Her ideal day would be to hike to a beautiful spot and spend the day reading, relaxing, and picnicking.

Best Friends of Education Awards
The seventh Best Friends of Education Awards ceremony was held May 30th, 2019. The Best Friends Awards were created to recognize individuals,
couples, groups, and businesses that have given their time,
resources and talents in order to enrich our education.
Nominations were accepted this spring. A committee reviewed the
nominations and six were selected to be honored today.
The first award was presented by Laila Rose (1st grade) and Keira Bakken (3rd grade) to Ms. Judy Behling. Ms. Behling has been volunteering in the first-grade classroom for many years. She also works with students on their literacy skills.
The next award was presented by Jorge Peralta (12th) and Cole Ducklow (12th) to Mr. Pete Berres. Mr. Berres has been very active in fundraising for the Johnson Creek Education Foundation. Mr. Berres has started the "Let's Make a Laugh" event that has brought in over $50,000 for the Foundation. The money raised has gone to provide multiple scholarships for Johnson Creek graduates. Also, this year, money from the Foundation was used to purchase robotics equipment for our students.
Tyler Naatz (11th) recognized Mr. Troy Blakey, who was unable to attend the ceremony. Mr. Blakey and Midwest Electric have worked with the school on various projects and have been a great asset to the district and our students.
Mrs. Cyndi Braunschweig received her award from Collin Hucke (4th) and Rylie Thomas (12th). Mrs. Braunschweig was a former art teacher in the district that continues to be actively involved in the schools. She helps in the classroom and chaperones various field trips with students. Even though she has retired, the students enjoy seeing her around on a regular basis.
Blake Brown (1st) and Max Chowanec (3rd) presented Dr. Jeff Hamann with his award. Dr. Hamann has contributed to the elementary animal science curriculum by teaching students about bugs and birds.
Mrs. Diana Thomas received her awards from Lauren Naborowski (4th) and Brooke Joseph (11th). Mrs. Thomas is a regular volunteer in the district and runs a community fitness boot camp. She has opened up her boot camp to all Johnson Creek athletes free of charge. The funds raised from the boot camp have been donated to the Johnson Creek One Team One Dream Fundraising initiative.
