Now in its 54th year, “Operation Holiday Basket” is a beloved tradition at Roosevelt High School. Each year, about 125 students, staff and alumni come together to fundraise and collect donations, assemble holiday meal baskets, then deliver them to local families in need.

We caught up with Principal Laura Sullivan during Native American Heritage Month to highlight her leadership at Anishinabe Academy. A proud member of the Ho-Chunk tribe, Sullivan has been principal for 14 years at the school, where 95% of students identify as Native American.

The Edison High School class of 1949 gathered in October for their 75th reunion, the first of its kind in the school's history. About 20 alumni came together to reminisce about their senior year, recalling how girls wore ankle-length dresses and boys sported crew cuts and double-breasted suits.
