The Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District accepted a $1,000 donation on Monday from Dr. Nancy Johnson Kramer, given in memory of her late husband, the board said.

The board presentation said Doc Kramer served the district for 30 years and continued working as a substitute teacher until his death in 2024. The donor, Dr. Johnson Kramer, previously worked as an occupational therapist in the district and organized community fundraising events with local ukulele and luau groups across Dane County.

The board said the $1,000 gift "will be used to strengthen safety and wellness in our schools," supporting safety education, resources for students and student organizations that promote wellness and awareness across the district. "On behalf of the school board, our administration, and the students who will benefit from this gift, we thank you, Doctor Johnson Kramer," a presenter said.
