A Note from the Principal
Dear Thorson Families,
Last week was a busy week at Thorson! We had our Stuff the Bus Food Drive, our school-wide spring Earth Day clean-up, Girls in STEAM Saturday, and our PTO Fancy Dance. What a fun week with many awesome activities and opportunities for our students.
Our Stuff the Bus Food Drive was a HUGE success. Across the elementary schools, we collected a total of 4,581.6 pounds of food, which is 200 pounds more than last year. The school level results were as follows:
Thorson Elementary -2,107.7 total pounds (3.92 pounds per student)
Westlawn Elementary -942.32 total pounds (3.25 pounds per student)
Parkview Elementary -1,537.61 pounds (3.05 pounds per student)
Every school did an amazing job collecting food to benefit those in need. Thank you to all for your support of this great service learning project. We are excited that the drive was so successful. Parkview Principal Brittany Kleeba and Westlawn Principal Katie Ramos will be joining us at our next Jaguar Jumpstart on Friday, May 5 to present the Stuff the Bus trophies to members of the Thorson Student Council. Way to go, everyone!
Our PTO Fancy Dance was also a great success. Thank you to the chairs and volunteers of the event. It was great to see so many students and their special guests out on the dance floor having a blast. There were smiles all around! Coming up next is the Boys Take on the Burg event, which will take place on Saturday, May 13. This is sure to be a fun event! Registration is open and information to register can be found here and on our PTO Facebook page.
Finally, The American Legion is sponsoring a Teacher of the Year Award for a deserving teacher in Ozaukee County. Nominations are currently being accepted and are due on May 15, 2023. Nominations may be submitted by teachers, students, former students, parents, administrators, or the general public. See here for more information and directions on how to nominate a teacher from our school.
Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Angela Little, Principal
Scott May, Assistant Principal

2023 Thorson Elementary PTO Oak Leaf Award Nominations
It is time to nominate a deserving Thorson parent or staff member for the Thorson Oak Leaf Award.
Please take a moment to read this whole note.
The purpose of this award is to recognize a Thorson school community volunteer who has gone “above and beyond the call of duty” to make Thorson a better place for our children, students, and school community.
Perhaps you know someone who has given much of their own time as a Thorson volunteer or someone who has selflessly contributed whenever they were asked. Maybe it is someone who has helped out “behind the scenes” at almost every PTO event, without a chairperson title or recognition, or perhaps there is someone who has done something exceptional for our school this year. You may want to nominate someone who has contributed throughout the years and is now “moving on” to middle school.
We know that these past few years have not provided as many opportunities to be involved "in" Thorson as parent volunteers, but there are plenty of people who have helped these past several years, and continue to be involved in supporting our school community this year. We thank ALL OF YOU who have helped make this year and every year a little brighter with your support!
** Special Note re: Staff Nominations: The Thorson Elementary Oak Leaf Award is a "volunteer" award, and is not meant to be a teaching or staff excellence award. This award is meant to recognize someone who has given of their time to PTO and the Thorson school community outside of their typical teaching/staff role.
Oak Leaf Award Nominations are due by Friday, April 28th!
Voting will take place May 4th - 19th.
Oak Leaf Award voting is meant for the Thorson Elementary school community only.
Voters must be current members of Thorson PTO in order to vote.
Be sure to check your emails and Thursday Folders for more info!
