Teacher Appreciation Week

Dear Community Members,

May 7 -11 is Teacher Appreciation Week. Teachers and support staff deserve recognition and thanks for the outstanding work they do for this community and for the children enrolled in our Brown County school districts. These professionals fill many roles: listeners, explorers, role models, motivators, and mentors. They continue to influence us long after our school days are only memories. As an illustration, consider the following 2-minute video:

The mission of Partners in Education, a branch of the Green Bay Area Chamber of Commerce, is to be the lead organization for identifying, developing, and supporting education & business partnerships within Greater Green Bay to help all learners prepare for productive community life and strengthen the economic vitality of the region.

Toward this end, we encourage all citizens to observe Teacher Appreciation Day on May 8 by taking time to recognize and acknowledge the important contributions of our educators.

Damian LaCroix
Howard - Suamico School District Superintendent
Partners in Education Chair

Laurie Radke
President Green Bay Area Chamber of Commerce

Reality Day

More than 60 local business representatives and 200+ Bay Port students participated in a financial literacy event last week called, "Reality Day." In this picture, Jim and Joan Vanden Elzen staff two booths with information on different insurances.
The email commentary below was shared by a high school student with Principal Frieder:
"Dear Mr. Frieder,
I would just like to thank you for letting me participate in Reality Day. Initially, I really didn’t feel like doing it, but since my mom was volunteering there she asked that I do it. I was reluctant, but I felt it couldn’t hurt. I wasvery impressed by how well put together it was. I learned a lot about the actual costs of living, which I now realize I didn’t have a very good grasp of, and the people that were staffing it were very friendly and informative. I think it was a very valuable life experience for me. On top of that, the materials we were given and the way we actually went through each of the stations with the register and saw the money we had disappearing before us was very realistic, and I felt that aided in making it more impactful as well. So again, I would like to thank you for allowing me to do Reality Day even though I am not a business student, and I would like to say that I feel this is a program that every student would benefit from, not just those in business. I personally would like to see this offered as a sort of optional visit for students when it is being put on in the future, so that everyone can have the opportunity that I had."

Leadership = Influence

Forest Glen Principal, Angie Sorenson, promotes leadership development by allowing a 3rd grade student council member to shadow her for the day. Leadership is is "caught" as much as it is "taught". Moreover, it is defined by a single word: "Influence".

Damian LaCroix's Space

In Howard-Suamico, togetherness propels all of us. “It’s everybody’s school district.” Our community, our district, our neighborhoods, our students all consist of intricately woven elements that are interdependent on each other. School, family, church, government, business—each one plays a vital role in the community today. Education fuels the workforce for government and business. Faith and family provide the moral fabric and personality of the community. Government gives us leadership and protection. Business supports the community with commerce and employment. This melting pot requires cooperation where we partner together and work side-by-side as we create a better future. By embracing our diversity today we will find new relationships, new solutions, and new hope for tomorrow.
