Week of February 27 - March 8, 2020
Dear Southern Door Community,
Exciting News! After a year and a half of planning, you are all invited us to officially kick off the start of construction at our groundbreaking ceremony on March 16. Please spread the word and invite other members of our Eagle Nation to the celebration! This week has been a busy one indeed:
--Our girls basketball team lost a hard-fought regional quarter-final game Tuesday night and tonight, our boys are vying for a share of the conference championship at Kewaunee, and will host the regional semi-final game here next Friday. Griffin Slezewski and Grant Englebert are headed to the state wrestling competition today. We wish all our student athletes the best, as they continue on in their journey to state.
--All students had the opportunity to hear Mike McGowan, a nationally recognized speaker who also works with our county high school youth;
--Elementary and middle school students will meet with Nathan Hale, national author, on Friday;
--And lastly, the 5th grade musical, "Summer Camp" will be performed in the auditorium tonight and tomorrow, with their appearance on the CP Telethon, the morning of March 8.

As we near the end of Public School Week 2020, it is evident that the combined efforts of teachers, administrators, parents and students show that together we can achieve great things larger than the sum of their parts and as a result, are Eagle Proud and Eagle Strong!

CULINARY CLUB ENTERS STATE CONTEST – This will be the second year that A’viands Director John Swanson has worked with a group of high school students to create a recipe for DPI’s Whipping Up Wellness Student Chef competition. Culinary Club students are: Kalissa Ambrosius; Jackie Atkins; Theodora Czoske; Trae Kluth; Mason Massart; Kelsey Todd; and Cambria Willmin.

This year they are working on developing a recipe that meets the nutritional component of the National School Lunch Program. As a group, they came up with an idea for a recipe. The first few attempts are to get the ingredients measured out accurately and directions written down with short precise steps. As the entree comes together, the students adjust the ingredients and flavors to have a great tasting entree. The one they have finalized and have made to serve to their peers is a grilled Greek chicken wrap. Their submission is due to DPI in mid-March. Good luck to our high school chefs!
