"The Gift of Time"


Dear Southern Door Community,
Children love the gifts at the holidays! One gift that your child or grandchild will never tire of is your undivided attention. Take time over the next few weeks to spend some quality time with your child or grandchild. Invest in them and watch the payback and return for years to come! The letter on the right is a great reminder of what we see and hear at school about how important those personal "gifts of your time" are to our children to help them feel important in your lives and Eagle Strong!
Yours in Education!
Patti

Santa Claus will visit Brussels, Wisconsin in order to receive Christmas wish lists from the boys and girls of the area. This COVID safe event will take place at Travis Price Plastering and Masonry office, the former Nicolet Bank building on County Highway DK in Brussels. Children will have the opportunity to interact with Santa through the bank teller window and perhaps get a glimpse of The Grinch roaming through the property. The day will also include a Lights of Love display with decorated trees by members of the community.
