Lisa Frankow & Sara Gerritson, Fond du Lac Detention Classroom

Lisa Frankow and Sara Gerritson are teachers with the Fond du Lac School District who teach in the Fond du Lac County Detention. Lisa teaches students from ages 10 to 17. She works to keep them up to date on the work that they are missing. The hope is that they graduate from high school. Lisa helps the older student to get their GED or equivalent. Fond du Lac Jail program can house twenty seven juveniles.  Some will come from other countries if space is available. How can we help them with their students? In addition to money to supplement their budget, they need volunteers to share their skills with the students.
