The UW Oshkosh chapter of the Student Wisconsin Education Association (StWEA) has been very busy this year. One of their major accomplishments was writing and receiving a grant from the National Education Association (NEA). The Community Learning through America’s Schools, or CLASS grant, enabled the organization to host two events at the Oshkosh Public Library for children in the Oshkosh Public School system.

The first event they hosted was on November 20 for Children’s Book Week. At the event, over 40 children made bookmarks and listened to a storyteller. They also got to write their own story with illustrations! Their next event will be on March 2 for Dr. Seuss’s Birthday. There will be birthday cake, crafts, games, prizes, a raffle, face painting, and a ventriloquist.  To learn more about StWEA visit our website at http://www.student-wea.org/
