On May 22, Brock Molden of Sauk City, a member of Sauk Prairie Veterans of Foreign Wars Lachmund-Cramer Post 7694, gave a presentation on the history and historical connection of Memorial Day to fourth and fifth graders at Merrimac Community School. It was one of three presentations that Molden, Lon Kaderavek, Jim Keys, Bart Mauch and Dick Nolden made to fifth graders in the Sauk Prairie School District. The presentation, developed by Molden, traced the 35 soldiers from Sauk Prairie who died in the Civil War forward to the two most recent veterans from Sauk Prairie who died this century in Afghanistan.

Sauk Prairie’s 2025 State Champion girls’ volleyball team was honored at a Milwaukee Brewers recently, featuring an on-field appearance and video highlights on the scoreboard. The team was on the field as part of pre-game ceremonies at the Friday, June 26 6:45 p.m. game against the Chicago Cubs at American Family Field. The ceremony was part of the Brewers’ State Champ Spotlight, which honors Wisconsin high school athletic excellence through the 2026 season. The video recounted how the “top-seeded Sauk Prairie girls volleyball team capped off a 31-5 season by outlasting second-seeded Grafton in a thrilling five-set championship match to win the Division II state title.” The team included “three All-State honorees, three All-Tournament team honorees, along with the Wisconsin State Journal Player of the Year.” It was the team’s first title in four appearances.
