Over the next few months, the District will share more information about the referendum plan through our District website, social media, local news sources and direct mail. We encourage all residents to reach out with any questions about the referendum.

Did you know a certain kind of lily pad can hold the weight of a human? Neither did we–until Darwin, a Riverside Elementary School first-grader, shared this fun fact! He dreams of being a scientist one day, so Darwin takes his scientific facts pretty seriously. Don’t believe him? Look up the Victoria Water Lily and prepare to be amazed. #Fondy #FondyChangesOutcomes #FondDuLac #CardinalFamily
