Good morning, Fond du Lac.

Downtown Fond du Lac Partnership is partnering with SSM Health Treffert Center to debut the Savant Stroll (Thursday, July 9, 4:00 to 5:30 p.m.), offering guests a chance to explore local businesses and meet savants including Tony DeBlois.

The Fond du Lac School District is exploring closing two schools as part of a study to address changing enrollment needs.

Officials have not yet announced further details.

Marian University honored 99 students on its President’s List and recognized 246 on its Dean’s List for Spring 2026 by awarding full-time students outstanding grade averages — 4.0 for the President’s List and 3.5 or above for the Dean’s List.

The school board recommends closing Roberts Elementary, which has the lowest enrollment after two failed referendums, and moving Stem Academy to Woodworth Middle School starting 2027-28.

The board will hold listening sessions beginning June 22 (community input spurred the proposal) to discuss new uses for the buildings.

On June 11, SSM Health Community Health donated $15,000 to support Fond du Lac's Charis Pregnancy and Family Help Center—this gift will help expand mentoring, education, and essential support resources to local parents.

ThedaCare offers summer safety tips for kids, urging parents to apply SPF 30 sunscreen, ensure proper helmet use during biking and other activities, and follow swimming and trampoline guidelines from AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics).

The tips aim to prevent injuries and build safe play habits for a fun summer.

The Dock Spiders ended their longest losing streak with a 7-2 win over Kalamazoo using nine hits and strong pitching; they will host the Green Bay Rockers Monday, June 15 — early fans can get a Caleb Durbin Relic Card giveaway.

Marian University announced Lexi Hess as its new assistant softball coach last Friday.

Hess played NCAA softball at Concordia St. Paul and Alverno College and coached at Wauwatosa East (where her team reached a regional championship), and she looks forward to advancing the program.
