Recent donations to Stepping Stones

This last Saturday, Nov. 1st, Menomonie High School students and science teachers held a food drive in honor of Warren Puhl.

Warren Puhl taught chemistry at Menomonie High School for 30 years until his retirement in 2008 and has recently passed away.

In honor of “Doc” Puhl’s dedication to MHS and the Menomonie community, MHS Science teachers and students sponsored a food drive with donations going to Stepping Stones of Dunn County.

Over 500 items were received through this effort!
