Golden Guernsey in Waukesha closed without warning on Saturday, leaving area school districts finding other companies for their milk needs.
Area school officials say they are not concerned about the ability to supply local children despite the abrupt closing of a Waukesha milk processing plant over the weekend. When employees of Golden Guernsey, started reporting the Waukesha dairy factory had abruptly shut down, some people were worried about the ability of school districts to obtain milk for students. A school official for the Slinger School District told Today’s TMJ4 that schools there will run out of milk by Wednesday.

Student production of fairy tale mash-up provides a fun family night out.
Capitalizing on a unique opportunity, students from the Waukesha STEM Academy are putting on a junior version of the fractured fairy tale Into the Woods and in turn, are providing a fun night out for Waukesha families.

The musical, Into the Woods Jr., part of The Broadway Junior Collection and with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, provides a mash-up of four different fairy tales: Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Rapunzel, and Jack and the Beanstalk, with an additional storyline to hold it all together. It’s an ambitious venture for the all-student cast and …
