On July 25, the culminating event of the Environmental Survival Challenge (ESC) was held on Tichigan Lake and the Fox River. ESC is a three-week summer school program, in which 100 middle school students from urban (Milwaukee Public Schools), suburban (Oak Creek, Franklin) and rural (Raymond) school districts worked together on environmental issues affecting the communities of southeastern Wisconsin.

We were honored to have been invited to participate in this outstanding project. The final event on the Waterford Watershed emphasized the important role our waterways have in the life of our communities and the student’s role and responsibility as future stewards of the waterways.
It was a beautiful day on the water and the expression on the students faces and their enthusiasm,was very rewarding to all. Sharing our water and it’s history with others, especially our youth is a positive way of encouraging the continuing interest we all in the district share. |

| Our pontoon classroom is gaining much excitement and is becoming well known throughout SE Wisconsin. It is an exciting event which is giving our district much recognition. The District thanks all who assisted in making this event a huge success. | |
Waterway History  | Wanted! Photos and stories of the past history of unheated cabins, cottage life, fishing shanties, and good times in the old days along the Fox River and Tichigan Lake. On Saturday, September 27, Jean Lewis, chairperson of the District’s History Committee hosted a gathering of interested folks at the Waterford Library. We’re looking for any type of memorabilia from the early times in, on and around the waterway. We need copies of your family’s relics and recollections that will help us tell a story that future generations can enjoy. If you are a writer or conservator, your help would be appreciated in developing this exciting story of the past. Everyone is welcome. Conact Commissioner Aplanalp for more details |
