Kenya Garcia, daughter of Olga Garrido, is the March Optimist Student of the Month. She is a valued student of the high school who has demonstrated incredible growth. When she started here, Kenya was a quiet student who mostly kept her head down and kept to herself. Four years later, the young lady who stands here with us today is completely different. Kenya has grown into an advocate for herself and for others. Kenya has a genuine and kind heart. She has the ability to see and reach out to other students who are often not seen by their peers. She makes them feel valued and part of the group. Kenya has worked hard and when she puts her mind to something, she cannot be stopped. She plans to enter the workforce initially with dreams of going to college for cosmetology and opening her own shop one day!

On March 3rd, Sauk City Fire was called to a residence on Lake Drive in Columbia County for a report of a dog that had fallen through the ice on Lake Wisconsin. Their first crew arrived and found Tubby the dog about 100 feet from the shore trying to get out of the water from a hole he had broken through. Firefighters made their way out onto the ice, pulled Tubby out of the water, and brought him back home where he was reunited with his family. In a post to a local Facebook group, Tubby’s family thanked Sauk City Fire and provided a photo.
