First Lady, Jessica Doyle: St. Henry Catholic School students were visited on November 10th by Wisconsin's first lady, Jessica Doyle. Doyle visited the school to present several prizes to seventh-grader Brian Hogan who was selected as this week's winner of the “Where in Wisconsin is Jessica Doyle” contest. The seventh-grade class participates in the weekly program that gives three clues about a city in Wisconsin. The students must find out what city the clues describe by searching on various Web sites on the Internet, using maps or looking through textbooks. Students with the correct answer each week are put into a drawing and a computer system randomly selects the week's winner. Full text, WDTimes, 11 11 2009, pg 3.
