Downtown Ripon shines at night.

There’s plenty to do in the Ripon and Green Lake area this week, from Cause of the Mondays to multiple opportunities for live music.

Journey Charter School is a Ripon Area School District charter school that offers project-based learning to students in grades K-2.

“Students explore real world problems while incorporating math and reading skills with both grade level and multi-aged peers,” the winery says. “Journey Charter School uses a hands-on approach to learning which helps students develop the life-long skills of communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking.

“As part of this hand-on approach students connect with the community by visiting residents’ homes, inviting community experts into our school, and participating in a variety of off-site learning opportunities. Proceeds will be used to fund these student learning opportunities and educational experiences.”

Come relax lakeside in Deacon Mills Park, enjoy food from local restaurants and cold beverages from the Chamber Snack Shack.”
