"A Time for Celebration”
Dear Southern Door Community:
We have made it through the first two months of school, and are still here educating our community’s children on site and virtually every day. Unlike other years, where we may have taken this transition of time for granted, we know that this year has put our school community to the test as we have worked together on so many levels to deal with the effects of the pandemic.
These are unprecedented times. Our situation remains fluid, and we go day to day, not knowing what lies ahead. What I do know, is that we, as Eagles, are all in this together – students, staff, parents, family, and community. Even if we are masked and standing six feet apart, our Southern Door staff is more than equal to the task and we will see each other through whatever may come!
To everyone, no matter what your role is in our school community, thank you for helping us keep our school open! I am sharing with you a special thank you video featuring “Good Job”, the song by Alicia Keys, created by the One Voice Children’s Choir.
We even finished out the week with the annual Halloween Parade in the elementary. Click on this link to provide yourself with a special Halloween treat! Please take advantage of the extra days off this week, and spend some time relaxing, taking care of yourself and family, and doing some of the things that you love!
Patti
Patricia Vickman, Superintendent

MIDDLE SCHOOL SHOWS SUPPORT FOR NURSING HOME RESIDENTS!
COVID-19 has impacted a variety of people in a negative way. No one has been hit harder though, than people in nursing homes. The elderly have been most victimized by the virus in virtually every part of the state.
The Middle School Student Council wanted to show their support for nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic during the 2020 Halloween season. Each TEAM created posters showing their support for nursing homes over the past few weeks.

HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT COUNCIL
HOLDS BLOOD DRIVE
9AM-2PM FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2020
BRUSSELS COMMUNITY CENTER
The Southern Door Student Council and the American Red Cross are sponsoring a blood drive from 9am-2pm on Friday, November 6, 2020 at the Community Center in Brussels, located at 1366 Junction Road (DK).
Anyone who is at least 17 years of age, weighs at least 110 pounds, or is 16 (with parent permission), and is in good health may donate blood. The parent permission form can be found online at this link. To sign up to give blood you can do one of following:
· Sign up online at www.redcross.org and search the drop down menu titled “Give Blood.” You can then search your nearest blood drive and schedule an appointment at the Brussels Community Center in Brussels.
(you will need to type in Brussels zip code “54204”).
· Call and make an appointment by contacting the Southern Door High School office at (920) 825-7333. (Summer Hours are 7:30 AM to 3:50 PM – Monday through Thursday)
· Walk-ins are also accepted; but there may be a greater wait time.
The need for blood is constant and only volunteer donors can fulfill that need for patients in our community. Nationwide, someone needs a unit of blood every 2 to 3 seconds and most of us will need blood in our lifetime. Remember: Save a life; give blood.
