Fond du Lac is setting every child up for success beyond high school by doing foundational work early on. As you walk through the halls of Riverside Elementary School, you’ll see a collection of student pictures lining the walls, accompanied by what they want to be when they grow up. Their dreams range from astronaut to artist, and everything in between.
Teachers across the school are united in their commitment to helping students turn those dreams into reality. They are not just teaching academics; they are helping children understand the skills it takes to accomplish their goals.

Meet Darwin, an endlessly curious first-grader at Riverside Elementary School with big dreams of becoming a scientist.
“I would like to be a scientist because there are so many other things to do and learn about the world,” Darwin says. “They can make gadgets, they can discover, and they can even find fossils by being an archeologist.”
Even in first grade, Darwin is already building the skills he will need to accomplish his dream. His teacher has taught his class about setting goals, and Darwin’s main goal is to improve his listening skills.
“To be a scientist, I need to listen very well, so I know what is happening and what is going on,” says Darwin.
Your future scientist is learning at Fondy!
