Week 2 = Success!
9/11
Several teachers chose to share this video. We highly recommend watching it with your child as it is an excellent representation of how tragedy can bring us together to accomplish great things.
Mr. Hart shared the following with students via The Pirate Way on Schoology:
Today we remember the events of September 11th, 2001. On that day there were a series of terrorist attacks in which airplanes were hijacked and flown into buildings, including the World Trade Center Towers in New York, and the Pentagon. A fourth plane, which appeared to be heading for the US Capitol Building, crashed into a field in Pennsylvania when the passengers onboard fought against the hijackers. In all, nearly 3,000 people lost their lives in the attacks.
Despite this incredible tragedy, Sandy Dahl, the wife of one of the airplane pilots who was killed in the attack, said this: "If we learn nothing else from this tragedy, we learn that life is short and there is no time for hate."
Some years later, President Barak Obama had this to say, "Even the smallest act of service, the simplest act of kindness, is a way to honor those we lost, a way to reclaim that spirit of unity that followed 9/11."
So, I hope you have a great weekend and that you will do or say at least one nice thing for someone else to honor the memory of those who died.
Breakfast/Lunch
On August 31, 2020, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced that school breakfast and lunch will be free to all children 18 and under through December 31, 2020. This means that all Howard and Suamico children 18 and under can get free breakfast and lunch daily, regardless of whether they are enrolled in HSSD.
Students are able to receive free breakfast and lunch daily while attending school. Those students attending school online, when not able to receive free meals at school, are encouraged to preorder the free meals at this link. Younger siblings are also eligible for free meals and are encouraged to use the preorder link and the curbside pickup schedule below. Please fill out one form per child.
These preordered meals will include breakfast and lunch for multiple days and will be prepared similarly to our COVID-19 meal distribution from March-August 2020. Meals will include breakfast and lunch entrees, fruit and vegetable choices, and multiple low-fat milk options. For students who have preordered, meal curbside pick up locations and times are as follows:
- Bay View 3-4:30 p.m. Fridays
- Meadowbrook 4-5:30 p.m. Fridays
Free meals for children became effective on September 1, 2020. If your child participated in breakfast or lunch this week while at school, those meals were free and will continue to be so until December 31, 2020.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact HSSD School Nutrition at 920-662-7723.

What if my child isn't feeling well?
If your child has had direct exposure to, or you suspect that they may have contracted Covid 19, please call our hotline at (920) 662-SAFE (7233). A school nurse will be able to communicate directly with your child's school when necessary and provide you with guidance for next-steps. If your child needs to stay home for a determined amount of time, we will reach out and work together with you to provide options for remote instruction.
