BOX TOPS DRIVE RESULTS:
We had an outstanding Box Top drive in October! We collected 7,014 Box Tops which gave Suamico PTO $701.40 to use on Suamico Elementary! Please keep cutting, checking the expiration date and sending in your Box Tops! Thank you! NOVEMBER- SUAMICO LITERACY NEWS:
Our goal at Suamico Elementary is to grow lifelong readers who love to read. Sharing books together as a nightly routine has so many benefits. Books ignite curiosity, encourage creativity, grow vocabulary, and open conversations that improve language and learning. Keeping a focus on the enjoyment of books when you read aloud or together, as well as having your child read the books that are sent home nightly, is a great way to ensure that your child is successful in school and beyond. Happy Reading! P.S. Please remember to donate any extra of your used children’s books to our Free Little Library. There is a box in the front entry by the office. THANK YOU! Meet our Literacy Staff at Suamico: Mrs. Kathy Pludeman, Literacy Interventionist

NOTES FROM SCHOOL COUNSELOR ALI FOLEY:
Greetings Suamico Families, I will be running a small group on Changing Families starting the last week in November and running until Christmas Break. This group is designed to support students dealing with changes at home, such as divorce and separation. Students will discuss changes at home, responsibilities of kids and adults, reaffirm their own identity, and evaluate scenarios. Please email or call me to recommend your son/daughter for this group. I will also be asking the teachers to recommend students and notify you if your child is recommended. Bests, Alexis Foley School Counselor [email protected] (920)662-9814 |

NOVEMBER 2018 - FROM YOUR SCHOOL BOARD:
Budget Season
During our annual meeting last month, community members received a detailed review of the school district’s 2018-19 budget and at the October 22, 2018 School Board Meeting, the Board of Education approved a levy of $26,570,826, which supports a district budget of $89,505,581 – an increase of 3.18% from the previous year. This levy will result in the school’s portion of our property taxes remaining stable at $9.19.
In addition, the Board shared with community members the proposed purchase of 10 acres of land directly in front of Bay Port High School. After significant consultation with leaders in real estate, the community and local businesses, the district formed a plan to move forward with an offer.
The source of funds for the purchase will come from two sources:
This acquisition represents the beginning of a long-term process in which the district is developing a “best-use” plan on leveraging this resource for future students. We hope the 2018-19 budget and this land purchase demonstrate to our community and students that we value their education today and well into the future. If you have any questions for the Board of Education, please reach out to your Board member, Rachelle Paulsen.

The source of funds for the purchase will come from two sources:
- $389,000 from the sale of surplus land
- Approximately $1.5 million from an assigned district account of which the funds are specifically designated only for capital projects/purchases.
This acquisition represents the beginning of a long-term process in which the district is developing a “best-use” plan on leveraging this resource for future students. We hope the 2018-19 budget and this land purchase demonstrate to our community and students that we value their education today and well into the future.
