A new charitable fund dedicated to improving early education in the Fox Valley was established this week within the Community Foundation to mark the end of Dr. John Mielke's 26 years on the Appleton Area School District's Board of Education and to honor his service and that of Sally Mielke, his wife, to many causes in the community.

The June 12th board meeting will be held at Kaleidoscope Academy at Roosevelt Campus (318 E. Brewster St. Appleton, WI 54911). It will begin at 5 p.m. instead of 6 p.m.

The Fox Cities Performing Arts Center held their 2017 Chairman’s Gala at the end of May. John and Sally Mielke were the recipients of the 2016 Distinguished Service Award.

The annual award is given to an AASD Staff member, teacher, coach, extracurricular coordinator, volunteer or paraprofessional who makes a positive difference in the life of a student.

Free, healthy meals are provided at several locations throughout Appleton. For Appleton Area School District (AASD) locations, it is open to anyone under 18-years-old. They do not need to attend the school. There is no need to sign up or apply for the program.
