Last week, we had the privilege of celebrating our 2026 retirees during our End-of-Year Staff Retirement Luncheon.
We are proud to recognize Junior High teachers Shela Yagow and Amy Oseland (pictured), whose dedication, care, and commitment to students have made a lasting impact on generations of Wooden Shoes. Their years of service have helped shape our schools and strengthen our community.
We also extend our appreciation and congratulations to Greg Beck, who retired earlier this school year.
Retirement marks the culmination of a career devoted to making a difference in the lives of others. On behalf of Teutopolis CUSD #50, thank you to all of our 2026 retirees for your service, leadership, and contributions to our Wooden Shoe community!
Please join us in wishing them all the very best in retirement!

Progress continues on the TJHS expansion project, and we are excited to share another round of photos showing the work underway.
Since our last update, the block walls have been completed, rafters were set into place, and roof decking has begun. In addition, since students left two weeks ago, crews have completed demolition of the existing restrooms, making way for their renovation as part of the project.
This expansion will help prepare for the transition of sixth grade to TJHS in 2026-27, support the needs of our growing student population, and create opportunities for future improvements at TGS.
We are grateful for the continued support as we invest in strong learning spaces for our Wooden Shoes.

Progress continues on the TJHS expansion project, and we are excited to share new photos of the work underway.
Since our last update, the project has continued to move forward with the block walls now in place and preparation beginning for roofing deck installation. This expansion will help prepare for the transition of sixth grade to TJHS in the 2026-27 school year while supporting the needs of our growing student population.
This work remains an important part of the district’s long-term facility improvement plans. Like the THS Cafeteria upgrade last summer, this project is being funded through district reserves.
We are grateful for the continued support as we invest in strong learning spaces for our Wooden Shoes.

Today we took the “senior signing” pictures for Derek Schmidt and James Hughey, who have enlisted in the Army National Guard. They are scheduled for Basic Combat & Advanced Individual Training shortly after graduation. Congratulations and thank for your willingness to serve!
Today, we celebrate Staff Appreciation Day across our Wooden Shoe community!
Our schools are strong because of the people who dedicate their service to our students. That includes our teachers, paraprofessionals, support staff, custodians, bus drivers, administrative assistants, food service teams, and so many others who play a vital role in creating a positive and supportive learning environment.
Each interaction, each act of care, and each commitment to doing the work well makes a difference for our Wooden Shoes.
Thank you for the dedication to our schools and for the impact you have on the lives of our students every day!

Wooden Shoes, remember to join our important conversation about the future of our school facilities this Tuesday, April 28 at 6:00pm in the Teutopolis Grade School Auditorium/Gym.
This will be a listening session, not a formal presentation. You will have the opportunity to tour the space, and we will have the chance to hear directly from you.
Your perspective matters as we continue exploring future planning for our schools and the students we serve. See you on Tuesday!
