During the last week of school, five Iowa-Grant 5th-grade students were acknowledged for their excellence in the classroom. Andre C., Tenley H., Kelsey B., Bronx R., and Rachel W. were awarded the Summers Award for being in the top 10% of their class. Great Job! Keep up the great work. To learn more about the history of the Elizabeth Summers bequest, continue reading below.
Elizabeth Summers (1918 – 2008) was born in Fennimore, Wisconsin to a farming family. Her parents, John & Rose Kalile, had emigrated from the country of Lebanon. Elizabeth met her husband, Norbert Summers, in La Crosse. She worked as a secretary & receptionist at a business in La Crosse for 34 years. Her older twin sisters Josephine and Genevieve Kalile attended the Platteville Normal School and were rural school teachers in the Iowa & Grant counties. Since neither Josephine nor Genevieve had married, they left their inheritance to Elizabeth. When Elizabeth died, her Trust (est. 2010) made gifts totaling over $1.1 million. In addition to the Iowa-Grant bequest, the Summers trust made gifts to several other public schools plus, among others, the Boscobel Health Care Foundation, Fennimore Community Scholarship Foundation, Great Rivers United Way, UW-Platteville Foundation, and Caritas Lebanon Catholic Charity. This bequest continues to fund the Iowa-Grant top 10% of the fifth-grade class for their achievements for now & years to come.
Congratulations Lakyn Holman on receiving 2025 Honorable Mention All-District!!! 🐾🐾🐾🐾

SUMMER EBT
The Summer Electronic Benefit (EBT) program helps families buy food while school is out during the summer and nutritious school meals may not be available. Through Summer EBT, families can get one payment per summer for each eligible child in their household. For the 2024-25 school year, Summer EBT benefits will be sent to families with eligible children starting in May 2025.
Your child will automatically qualify for Summer EBT if your household gets FoodShare, W-2 Cash Benefits, Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) benefits, or participates in certain income-based Medicaid programs If your household does not participate in one of these programs, there are actions you can take to see if your child can qualify before Summer EBT benefits are sent out for Summer 2025.
• You can apply to participate in one of the qualifying state benefit programs.
If you apply and are approved for FoodShare, W-2 Cash Benefits, FDPIR, or certain income-based Medicaid Programs before the end of Summer 2025, then your child who attends IOWA-GRANT SCHOOL DISTRICT will be eligible for Summer EBT for 2025. To learn more about applying for any of these state benefits you can call 211, visit access.wi.gov, or contact your local or tribal agency. Visit dhs.wi.gov/forwardhealth/imagency/index.htm to find the agency based on where you live who will help you apply or enroll for programs.
• You can apply directly for Summer EBT. You can apply on https://wisconsin.summerebtapp.com for Summer EBT. When applying for Summer EBT for your child(ren) who attend IOWA-GRANT SCHOOL DISRICT, you will need to show that your household meets the income requirements for the program. The Summer EBT webpage at dhs.wi.gov/sebt has more information on what these income requirements are.
Note: This information is for children that attend IOWA-GRANT SCHOOL DISTRICT. If you have another child that goes to a different school, the steps here might not be the right ones for them to qualify for Summer EBT and they may get a different letter explaining how they would qualify. You can visit dhs.wi.gov/sebt to learn more.
Getting Summer EBT does not affect whether your child can get other benefits, such as meals offered through the Summer Food Service Program (SFS) or Seamless Summer Option (SSO). To learn more about SFSP or SSO meal sites near you, visit https://dpi.wi.gov/community-nutrition/sfsp/find-summer-meals-site or call 211. You can also text ‘food’ to 304-304. Getting Summer EBT also does not affect your child’s or family’s immigration status.
If you have other questions about the Summer EBT program, please visit the Summer EBT webpage at dhs.wi.gov/sebt. You can also email your questions to dhssebtsupport@wi.gov.
