The Fond du Lac Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution will host a wreath-laying ceremony on December 13 at 11 a.m. at three local cemeteries—Calvary, St. Charles and Taycheedah—to honor 2,190 veterans, and local officials including U.S. Rep.

Fond du Lac School District is asking residents to take a survey to help plan an April referendum that would lower the funding ask from $10 million to between $6 and $8 million + an extra $2 million option to improve class sizes and staffing.
