Two former Menomonee Falls High School teachers have joined together to market an innovative new product that will revolutionize how schools use their Chromebooks, and it all started with them graduating from MFHS. The two have worked together to create and mass market a device called The Cranium by Educabana
While innovation and creativity is sometimes stifled by school administrators, these two were able to rise up and achieve something more than wishing they lived in Brookfield. The Cranium is available to schools that take education seriously.

It's ironic that I was once (as a teacher) brought into the principal's office at MFHS in order to hear about how my website had a few broken links. The information was being used to demonstrate why I should use the district's website builder rather than one of my own. Ironic because the admins who brought me in knew little about technology and were basically broken links themselves. Also ironic because this website existed as a direct link from Menomonee Falls High School for EXACTLY two years from the day I was told I was no longer needed by the district. Now that's incompetence, or ignorance, but it's not really very good.
This website was provide free for the district and to the students of Menomonee Falls by a dedicated teacher. As an armpit community surrounding Milwaukee, Menomonee Falls neither appreciated this gesture nor the years of impeccable service provided by the teacher. Go ahead and ask how many other teachers were later fired for legitimate reasons. You might also want to ask why the teachers that are in place are there now, since you won't get a decent answer. And as far as administrators are concerned, this website provides a perfect example of their ineptitude: two years, folks. Two years of no one noticing that the website on the MAIN PAGE of MFHS was linking right here. Great job, guys! That's what happens when you have a bunch of coaches and social studies teachers running a school district.
Anyhow, since the game is up, I really wish you the best with your little vote for more money, and I hope you have fun on unemployment and Badgercare when it does not work out. Stay classy, Menomonee Falls.

According to the SDMF press release, students learned how to use hands-free CPR: "Our high school students were featured on CBS 58 for learning how to do hands-free CPR during our 2nd annual RED OUT event for the American Heart Association."
However, CBS-58 and the video evidence from the event imply that the technique being taught was, in fact, hands-ONLY CPR. Hands-free CPR is basically standing around and watching someone when his or her heart stops, which has generally been proven to be ineffective. The other way to do hands-free CPR would be to tell someone else to do the hands-only CPR you learned about at school. If you decide to pray or use a Harry Potter-inspired incantation, you will also still need your hands.
If hands-free CPR was taught alongside hands-only CPR, we will let you know and will detail how to perform it.
