Description
Over the year, we have been connecting what it takes to be great-from the ancients to our local Kenoshans. We have done lots of fieldwork and have had many guest speakers. Now it is time for YOU to pick your
top 12 Kenosha greats locations and/or people. Each academic class developed their own 2019 calendar. The proceeds from this calendar will go to help support CUSH (Kenosha Homeless).
Audience
The Kenosha Community at our culminating event (parents, family, friends, community members featured in the calendar).
