She felt she had an interesting interest-ing experience being raised by great parents and her mother being the 2001 Wisconsin Wis-consin Mother of the Year. Her parents brought 50 at-risk teens into their home. Her mother would say, "that person over there needs your friendship." Ma Hassler, as Diana's mom was called, was often seen loading 30 kids into her van and heading to McDonald's after school. The Hassler home was a hang-out where kids would talk and talk and her mom would find out something good about everyone. She praised them for everything and built self-esteem. self-esteem. She would tell her kids to invite troublemaker's troublemak-er's to dinner. Knocks even came at 2 a.m. and calls from the school to report illness. Ma Hassler was seen often in the principal's office checking check-ing kids out because her name was put on the list to call if parents were not available. Diana's dad took on the role of a father figure to a young man whose dad was in jail and the family had several generations on welfare. wel-fare. The student started playing play-ing football.

The PTSA president Chris Donaldson conducted the program while Principal Eris Waymire offered a few remarks. Spencer Hill. the student body president, introduced the theme and Diana Hoelscher. a voung mother and motivational speaker, gave a presentation presenta-tion on helping teens be positive examples and live productive lives. Waymire discussed the dress code and the attendance atten-dance policy. She stated it was difficult to enforce the dress code with over 1,500 students at the school, but this year the PTSA jumped in to help. If a student is not dressed properly, they receive a red sheet and have to go to the administrative offices. Some are sent home to change their clothes. The attendance policy allows up to five absences in each class each quarter and up to four tardies. In order to pass the class, there are ways to make up excused absences. The faculty will be wearing wear-ing ID tags and hopes to implement the program into the school in the near future.
