GATE Students Giving Back to the Community
 As the result of a Gifted and Talented (GATE) grant proposed by the Cooperative Education Servicing Agency in Oshkosh (CESA #6), students from several area middle schools including Greenville Middle School, Neenah's Shattuck, Maplewood in Menasha, and Shiocton Middle have been working throughout the school year on projects to connect their schools and their communities.
