Community Partnership Opportunity with the DeForest Area School District

The DeForest Area School District (DASD) has an exciting opportunity for local businesses and organizations to collaborate with Harvest Intermediate School.

Starting this academic year, all fourth, fifth, and sixth grade students will be participating in an Academic and Career Planning course. The teacher, Ms. Rachel Steward, would like to involve representatives from our local community partnerships to provide real-world insights and applications of the course concepts.

We are looking for at least 12 local businesses who would be willing to commit to engaging with our students. This commitment would involve speaking to one grade level of students, delivering the same talk four times. This engagement will not only benefit our students by offering them practical perspectives on various career paths but also provide our valuable partnerships with an opportunity to meaningfully engage with our educational community.

If this opportunity interests you, please to reach out to Ms. Steward directly, rsteward@deforestschools.org. She would be happy to provide more details and discuss potential topics for these sessions.

Thank you for considering this partnership opportunity. We look forward to the possibility of working together for the benefit of our students at Harvest Intermediate School.

Book of Memories

To commemorate our 60th Anniversary the DeForest Public Library is putting together a book of memories.

We are asking library patrons and members of our community to contribute a story, poem, drawing, or anything you feel represents the DeForest library and our local community.

Anyone may take home a page and return it by November 22nd to be collected and bound in a handmade book which will be displayed in the library.

Ask for pages and guidelines at the circulation desk.

And stop by the library to see the book that inspired this project on display near the Library Street entrance.

If you have any questions about this project please email Ali at adown@deforestlibrary.org.
