Week of January 9-17, 2020
"You have it easily in your power to increase
the sum total of this world's happiness. How?
By giving a few words of sincere appreciation to someone. . .
Perhaps you will forget tomorrow, the kind words you say today,
but the recipient will cherish them over a lifetime."  Dale Carnegie

Dear Southern Door Community,
It is that time of year when we are in for the long haul before breaks, and everyone's getting a bit of "cabin fever" with the cold weather, icy roads, short days, and impending winter storms. It also means that we are all in such close company with family and friends that we may get on each other's nerves.

Research shows that it takes 4-5 positives to balance out 1 negative. You may want to consider your interactions with the important people in your lives - your children, your family members, your co-workers, and others that are part of your life. Would they say that you are providing them with enough positives and appreciation?

If we could all take just a few extra minutes to thank others, show some kindness, or express our appreciation for what they do for us, just think how Eagle Proud and Eagle Strong our community would be!
Patti

COME HEAR
THE GUTHRIE BROTHERS -
A TRIBUTE TO SIMON AND GARFUNKEL

On Saturday, February 1 at 7:00pm, the auditorium will feature the Guthrie Brothers.

For tickets, order online at www.sdauditorium.org or contact one of the school offices.
TIME FOR A NEW CENSUS
The start of a new decade means it is once again time for the U.S. Census. This once-every-ten-year national population count is important to schools and communities because the results will be used to allocate future state and federal funding and to redraw new election districts for local, state and national races and new wards for cities, villages and towns.
The goal of the Census Bureau's 2020 Census is to make sure every person in the U.S. is counted.
Preparations for the 2020 count are beginning to ramp up. The Census Bureau is currently  hiring thousands of people  to help it conduct the census. The State of Wisconsin has an official   WICount 2020 Census  website designed to inform state residents about the Census and how it operates.
