Please watch out for our...
our students and all those kids out on the streets who are trying to get to school.
Make sure, again, if you see those flashing lights on the bus and the stop arm comes out, stop on both sides of the highway.
We don't have any spots in the Northwoods here where you could keep going.
Nope, you need to stop.
don't go around it.
Both sides, even if there's a passing lane down the middle of the highway, you actually still need to stop.

So those are a few of the things happening and...
I was exciting.
The school year is really starting to take off.
We've got a lot happening and a lot of great music in the hallways, students in the classrooms.
I walked through every one of the high school classrooms yesterday, checked things out and saw all kinds of great activities happening from history or civics lessons on the three branches of government to our students in Woods class, reviewing the safety rules and things for hand tools to
an accounting class reviewing for a first quiz or test coming up, creative writing, working on a project where they had gone outside, experienced things with the five senses, doing some writing based on that.
So just all kinds of activity.
Students learning about how the earth was formed in earth science.
So
Yeah, you know that I think each day now that just it just gets in the groove a little more Yeah, I also walked out on the elementary playgrounds at Park Falls Elementary yesterday and and
It's students in all kinds of areas.
Everybody from our youngest kindergarten students to our fourth and fifth grade students.
Kickball to playing on the swings in the sandbox.

like we were talking about earlier, we've got that Chewamagin Phillips Chewamagin home opener.
I accidentally called it something else.
We're not even going to go there again, but it's the home opener for Chewamagin high school football.
And you can listen back to coach Simone and coach pre-core discussing the gamesmanship about that.
It was kind of funny.
Coach pre-core, you might have heard it.
He was on the other day with us on Tuesday morning and he said, Hey, we got to be careful what we reveal about the game plan.
And then he revealed a little bit about the game plan.
So there's a pretty fun little conversation we had
there.
Excellent.
Do me one favor always let Joel know what what coffee he missed this morning.
He
Thank you so much.
Never bring him coffee and I brought him a coffee rather than a tea I
wonder if I shouldn't freeze it for him so it's ready on Monday, but we'll put it to good use one way or the other Chewbacca District Administrator Kyle Cronin in every Thursday morning when he can make it and remember we talked to the busiest people in the neighborhood and we archive those conversations Because you're busy too and so are the loved ones who might want to listen in so hey, let him know you heard
