Rhyme Time was able to award $7,000 of scholarship funds out to 6 students from 5 different local high schools this year. The recipients included: Haylie Olson - Monroe High School, Alec and Connor Osmond - Janesville Parker High School, Zach Cresswell - Evansville High School, Betsy Ennis - Janesville Craig High School and Jared LaBelle - Portage High School.
These 6 students were hand selected based on their applications and letter of how cancer has affected their lives in some way. Each individual submitted inspiring, real stories and we appreciate their honesty in the application process. We want to congratulate the Rhyme Time Scholarship Class of 2015 and wish them the best of luck in their future endeavors!
Without the tremendous support we receive at our annual fundraiser, the Steve Ennis Memorial Golf Classic, we wouldn’t be able to continue growing the Rhyme Time foundation, so thank you everyone for your support over the years! Please save the date for our 7th Annual Fundraising Event on Saturday September 12, 2015!
This year we were given the special honor to award Betsy Ennis one of our scholarships. Betsy is the daughter of Steve Ennis, Rhyme's former Director of Sales who lost the cancer battle in 2009. Steve Ennis and Jack Steinhoff are the two men this Scholarship is in memory of and the Steve Ennis Memorial Golf Classic was created to honor these two men that always represented Hard Work – Determination – Optimism and "Making Every Day Count”

September is National Preparedness Month, an observation with the goal of raising awareness about the importance of preparing for disasters or emergencies that could occur at any given time. Understanding how to prepare for, react to, and respond to emergencies is an important safety skillset to have as we deal with emergencies each and every day. Most of us are taught in school how to react to tornados and earthquakes, however there are many other areas that can pose a threat to us that we often aren’t taught about or know the importance of. One such area is heat illness, a condition caused by strenuously working in the heat.
