Atwater School Celebrating Centennial
Atwater Elementary School is 100 years old. Classrooms were ready for students in grade K-8 on September 7, 1915. Current Atwater families and staff began their centennial celebration on January 21 at Winter Sing. Students performed music from each of the past ten decades. The celebration will continue into the fall.
Formal education in the area we now know as Shorewood began in 1846 in a log house located in a clearing in the wilderness on the current Shorewood High School campus. There were thirteen pupils in the first school, which was destroyed by fire in 1864. A second log school met a similar fate in 1895.

The Great Lakes Pet Expo!
Saturday, January 31, 2015, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. @ the Wisconsin Expo Center in State Fair Park.
Held annually on the Saturday before Super Bowl, this event has something for everyone. Live entertainment features amazing animal acts including some that have been featured on national programs such as The Tonight Show, Oprah Winfrey, Jay Leno and more! Several hundred exhibits feature companion animals available for adoption as well as the latest and greatest pet related products and services. An education stage headlines veterinarians and industry
The Great Lakes Pet Expo is different from most other shows of this magnitude because it is produced by a non-profit organization. It is a benefit for the animals of Wisconsin. All of the proceeds from this event are given back to the animals of Wisconsin by way of the non profit organizations (rescues and humane societies) who care for them. The money is raised through ticket sales and all dollars raised stay in Wisconsin. The expo production team is a group of dedicated volunteers who spend countless hours planning and executing a show we're proud to call our very own. We thank everyone who has attended the show in support of our cause. It is the animals who bring us together and you, the consumer, who make the show possible.
