The registration form is a little strange.
It asks "What current grade band is your child in for the 2025-2026 School Year?" for some reason. Just put their current grade in there.

🎬 Behind the Scenes of WILLOW
This is what filmmaking on the road looks like.

The TV becomes a second monitor. The extra bed turns into a gear station. Script notes, interview transcripts, and story ideas end up covering every available surface. Somewhere in the middle of it all, a film starts to come together.

I’m excited to share that our team is currently working on WILLOW, a short documentary about Willow Newell’s journey and legacy as the first Black Miss Wisconsin.

An early version of the film will be screened during the Miss Wisconsin Competition event later this month.

Huge thanks to the incredible team helping bring this story to life:
Willow Newell, Leah Love, and Mike Determan.

This project is supported in part by 2026 Create Wisconsin Statewide Artist Grant, made possible by the Ruth Foundation for the Arts.

Additional support for this project has been provided through a grant from Racine Arts Council’s ArtSeed Program. Grants Program funded by Racine Arts Council and the Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the State of Wisconsin.
