*“A” Day*
“If the Falcon Football Team wins on Friday, October 28th we will be
hosting the football game here next Friday, November 4th due
to WIAA rules. Because of the conflict with the musical, we will move to
two shows at that time: The Thursday, November 3rd show and the Saturday,
November 5th. Mrs. Charbonneau will contact you directly to reschedule
your tickets if you purchased tickets for the Friday, November 4th show or
if you need a refund. We have discussed all other possible scenarios and
believe this is the best solution. Thank you.”
Anti-Bully Slogans for October
Think before you speak.
“Showing gratitude is one of the simplest yet most powerful things humans
can do for each other.” As MAD Week comes to a close, please remember to
continue your attitude of gratitude, as well as your acts of kindness,
throughout the entire year. Every day is the perfect day to make a
difference!
As Americans we have come to depend on the many convenience products that
are available to us, and nowhere is this more evident than in the school
lunchroom. Most parents pack lunch items in single-use plastic bags,
aluminum foil, or wax paper, or they purchase single-serving items that
come in their own disposable package. Admittedly, these products are
extremely convenient, but what is the environmental cost to a country that
relies so heavily on them? Landfills are full and overflowing. Incinerators
pump contaminants into the air. Communities are battling over who will
accept the nation’s trash. We all enjoy these conveniences, but few of us
are willing to allow new landfills and incinerators to be built in our own
backyards. Thank you for participating in the district’s kick-off to our
Waste-free Lunch Initiative!
BLAST FROM THE PAST!!
A surplus of yearbooks from past years has been uncovered!!
They will be sold for the bargain price of only $5 each.
See Mrs. Mansker in room 201 to make a purchase.

Attention SFMS Staff and Students – Did you know that in Wisconsin alone
more than 200,000 people are diagnosed with breast cancer each year? Let’s
show our support and wear pink on Monday, October 31st as Breast Cancer
Awareness month comes to a close. Wouldn’t it be neat to have the entire
school filled with pink to show our support?
This year the SDSF, in conjunction with Make a Difference Week, is striving
to create less trash during lunch. A typical American school kid
generates 67 pounds of discarded lunchbox packaging waste per school year.
That’s more than 18,000 pounds annually for an average-size elementary
school, which adds up nationwide to more than 1 billion pounds annually. A
typical U.S. family using disposables generates more than 4,000 pieces of
lunch trash unnecessarily each year, according to our ECO lunchboxes
Lunchbox Waste Study 2010. The 1st WASTE FREE LUNCH is Oct. 26th.
Domino’s pizza, Steamed Broccoli Florets, Ranch Salad, Fresh Blueberries,
Fresh Apple. There will not be extra containers to put ketchup and dip in.
Just place the condiments on your tray with the food you’re using it on.
On the back are a few ideas to help you pack your own waste-free lunch.
If any students or staff have family or friends who are veterans, and you
would like an invitation to our program sent to them, please get their
names and addresses to Alice Samse by Friday, Oct. 28.
