Former teacher leaves $1.2 million to Calumet County schools
CALUMET COUNTY A longtime teacher in Calumet County is giving back in a big way.
Violet Laack died in January at the age of 97. 49 of those years were spent teaching.
Laack is leaving her $1.2 million estate to go toward education in the county.
“Her whole life was education and children,” said Gert Behnke, a former coworker of Laack, who met her in the 40s.
