Hope everyone had a great Veterans Day! Thank you veterans ❤️

🇺🇲VETERAN'S DAY🇺🇸

We've been pedaling this delicious Strawberry Mango Smoothie all month. Proceeds will be donated to the Wounded Warrior Project via our KHS leadership class.

In honor of Veteran's Day- coincidentally the final day of our fundraiser- the cafe will donate 5% of ALL sales to our ongoing fundraising efforts.

Stop in anytime today and order what you like- you dollars can help make a difference in the lives of our Veteran's and their families.

Yesterday was field trip day for our Main Street students in Kewaskum! Pictured is the class at Emerys Trek Bicycle Store Milwaukee. Emery's is a bike store that makes bikes for individuals with special needs. The students absolutely loved it! If you're in the Milwaukee area and aren't familiar with this store, check it out, or, consider donating to them so they can reach more people. Everyone deserves to be able to ride a bike!

We love seeing how creative students get with their fundraisers. This group asked their local coffee shop to promote a special drink and give a portion of the profits to the cause. The Coffee Corner Bistro is going above and beyond - 100% of the profits will be donated!

This week, Main Street headed back to school with the rest of the students! We are so excited to be back in the classroom after a nice long summer. For our first class, the students used the Make a Difference cards, also known as "MAD cards," to pick out causes they are passionate about. There are 24 cards with causes ranging from veterans and education to homelessness and the environment. They sort through and pick their top 6, then narrow it down to their top 3. The kids had a blast, and so did we!

Congratulations to the Kewaskum High class - you did it! We had so much fun with these students, and they loved seeing how much they could make a difference in their local communities. Together, they raised $1,321.55 for On The Spectrum, Inc., Sandi Paws Rescue, and Habitat for Humanity of Washington and Dodge Counties.

We can't wait to see where life takes you. Congrats!

PS - we loved the special surprise shoutout from Ryan Ponsford!

It's almost panel discussion time! Students are currently calling charities, asking them to come to one of two panel discussions. During this time, students get the chance to learn about what the charity does, how they would use a donation, and answer any questions the students have. We can't wait - stay tuned!

"When people unite and work together, bigger things can be accomplished that can help change the world."

Wow! Powerful words from Nicholas. Way to go!

We are just as grateful for our students. We love what we do and are so thankful for the opportunity Main Street gives us to work with students across the country. Thank you for the feedback, Dominic. It's great to hear! 👏

On the first day of class, we ask students what they think of when they hear the word "philanthropy." Many say they think of Bill Gates or someone with a lot of money. It's so important to us that they realize it doesn't have to be that way! Anyone can be a philanthropist, and we show them just how easy and fun it can be to be a philanthropist in their local communities. Great feedback, Nicholas!
