Kohler Co. pledges $1 million to
help refurbish Ebben Field
KOHLER, Wis The Kohler School Board
has accepted a pledge of $1 million,
extended by Chair, CEO and President
Herbert V. Kohler, Jr., for the refurbishment
of Ebben Field. The magnitude and timing
of this gift payable in equal increments
over five years will allow the school dis-
trict to provide continuity to its athletic pro-
gramming in the near term, and will ulti-
mately offer a high quality sports facility
the entire Kohler learning community can
appreciate for years to come.
This gift represents a substantial new
investment in our school district infrastruc-
ture. We are grateful to Kohler Co. for the
significant commitment made to our com-
munity, said Superintendent Dr. Robert
Kobylski. We are indeed fortunate to count
the Kohler Co. among our friends. I am
thankful, too, for its acknowledgement that
private philanthropy is perhaps the differen-
tiating factor between a very good public
school system and a great one, and that this
gift will benefit countless students whose
lives we touch.
The financial pledge will allow the
school district to begin work on a master
plan for Ebben field in close collaboration
with the Village of Kohler and Kohler Co. It
also enables the Kohler School District to
re-direct fundraising activities currently
geared for Ebben Field to support academic
and other needs. Initial efforts will focus on
construction of a track, viewing stands,
announcers box, and the interior
football/soccer field.
Kohler Co. has a long history of sup-
porting the Kohler Public Schools, said
School Board President Dr. Jane Bishop.
Their ongoing commitment to improving
both the curricular and co-curricular expe-
riences of our students suggests a strong
belief in the power of education and service
to our community.
Holiday garbage
schedule/service
changes for 2009
Trash collections following the Labor
Day holiday will be on Wednesday,
September 3 and Saturday, September 6.
No Friday pick-ups for 2009
Seasonal Friday garbage pick-up will
end on September 26. There will be no
Friday pick-ups in 2009 as a cost saving
measure. The Village Board approved a
five-year contract and fuel surcharge sched-
ule with Larrys Hauling that includes once
a week trash pickup beginning January 1,
2009. Members of the Village Board and
Larry Van Akkeren of Larrys Hauling both
reported observations that approximately
only one out of five Kohler residents were
taking advantage of Friday collections.
School in session,
motorists reminded
to exercise caution
With school back in session, Kohler
Police Chief Bill Rutten asks that motorists
please remember to drive carefully on the
streets around the school. (The speed limit is
15 mph when children are present in the
school zones).
Parents are also reminded that there is no
stopping or standing of vehicles in the west-
bound traffic lane on School Street, and
children should be dropped off close to the
crosswalk so they can be helped across the
street by the crossing guard. Students should
not cross mid-block amongst vehicles where
they are harder to see. A student drop-off
zone is located on the north side of the
building under the canopy. The pedestrian
crossing zone marked with yellow lines
should not be blocked by parked vehicles,
and motorists should proceed with caution
through the yellow zone.

Dear Amy,
We are getting ready to put our home up for
sale and we are wondering what you
recommend we do to get our home in Top
condition because we really need to sell
fast...Where do we start?
To answer your question- the first thing I
would have to say is in order to sell your
home fast in any market is Ask Amy to
be your selling Agent!
Decluttering your home is the next step, but
sometimes the hardest. Sellers are emotionally
attached to everything in their home and the longer
you have lived there the harder it is to see the clutter
that collects. However it does affect the way the
buyer sees your home and I often advise sellers to
think of decluttering as a sure fire way of paying
yourself...A decluttered home sells faster and for
more money !! Abuyer needs to picture themselves
living in the home and if your personal effects are
everywhere that becomes impossible. Try to imag-
ine a model home and get as close to that as you can.
You need to disconnect with your home and real-
ize you will be living in a house that is for sale.
These two things are not the same and I know how
hard it can be.
As your agent I will be happy to help you with
suggestions to make your home appealing to the
most buyers or email me at
TeamAmy@AmyGutschow.com and I will send you
my favorite articles on Uncluttering your home to
sell.
To schedule a time for a private (no obligation)
appointment to view your home and offer my per-
sonal suggestions call me at 377-1948. I look for-
ward to hearing from you and encourage you to stop
by my web site www.AmyGutschow .com to view
all my listings and so much more, including com-
plete up to the date listings of local Foreclosures and
For Sale By Owners.
I look forward
to hearing from you!

Kohler resident leads local Tai Chi
classes after studying in China
For the three years that Lina Petrich has
been living in Kohler, she has been search-
ing for the perfect career. Petrich had a suc-
cessful business in her native Russia that
she thought she would continue here, but
she soon realized that she didnt want to be
busy with that same business anymore.
Petrich said she asked herself a simple
question, What do you really want? The
answer to her own question, she discov-
ered, was that she wanted to pursue a busi-
ness that brought physical and spiritual
health to herself and others.
After starting a local Socrates Caf,
Petrich organized a Taoism gathering. The
Taoism philosophy, said Petrich, is sim-
ple and infinitely practical: Study the natu-
ral order of things and work with it rather
than against it (to try to change only sets up
resistance), and love the world as your-
selfthen you can truly care for all
things.
Petrich said Tai Chi came naturally after
studying Taoism philosophy. When she saw
the graceful Tai Chi movements and read of
all the benefits of Tai Chi practice, Petrich
said, My heart told me that it is what I had
been looking for.
Petrich decided to learn Tai Chi from
the source, so she found what she described
as a great Tai Chi and Qigong school in
China, which had great masters who have
devoted their whole lives to Tai Chi. In
September 2007, Lina and her husband,
Mark Petrich, traveled to China. Mark
stayed for ten days, while Lina remained for
almost three months to study. It was a great
experience in my life. Beautiful nature, deli-
cious food, and friendly Chinese people
made my trip unforgettable, Petrich said.
She met a lot interesting people from around
the world, who also came to China to study
Tai Chi and Qigong. Her fellow students
came from Germany, France, Italy, Great
Britain, Israel, and Russia. We took the
practice of Tai Chi and Qigong very serious-
ly; 6-8 hours every day. Our masters were
very strict and demanding, though we were
very thankful, happy, and full of energy,
Petrich said.
Petrich said people of all ages were seen
practicing Tai Chi and Qigong almost
everywhere, at any time in China. She said
the Chinese air is full of the spirit of Tai Chi
and Qigong.
Petrich said that after having been busy
with Tai Chi and Qigong one year, shes
already experienced some strong benefits,
which she said she cant dismiss as coinci-
dence. This makes me be even more confi-
dent and happy that I am on the right way to
help myself and others. I love to share with
people what I learned in China and have
gained here with further practice, Petrich
said. She also spent some weeks in San
Diego, California studying and improving.
Petrich said she wanted to extend a spe-
cial thank you to her husband and mother
for all of their help and support.
Petrich will lead Tai Chi and Qigong
classes at Sports Core beginning in
September. Classes will be on Tuesdays,
8:15 9:15 a.m. and Wednesdays, 4:30 -
5:30 p.m.

File of Life for seniors
time to update medical
history
Health information is vital if an emer-
gency comes on quickly. Kohler seniors are
urged to be proactive in having that infor-
mation ready. File of Life helps make that
information available in the home in a mag-
netic pouch attached to the refrigerator, but
your information must be kept up-to-date.
Only you can do it. Make your entries in
pencil and do it now!
The Sheboygan County Triad Program
will again offer a sign-up opportunity for
Kohlers senior residents at no cost during
the Senior meeting on September 8 at the
Village Hall at 1:30 p.m.
The pouch will include personal medical
history, names, phone numbers of those
who should be advised, doctors name and
contacts, and current prescriptions. A space
for listing allergies is also included. Most
importantly, the information must be kept
current. Entries are to be in pencil so that
information is legible. There is no charge
for the material. Seniors are encouraged to
collect the information and get it in order,
then bring it to the September 8 meeting to
complete the packet.

Kohler student memorialized
Amemorial service was held at the bowl on August 8 for Austin Chase, a 15-yr-old Kohler boy who passed away after a tragic incident on July 21 while visiting family in Elko, Nevada.
Friends of Chase spoke about him, left messages in a guestbook, and released 15 balloons representing his 15 years of age.
Lt. Governor Barbara Lawton
announced August 4 that Kohler Schools
accepted the Lt. Governors Energy Star
School Challenge, a commitment to reduce
energy consumption by ten percent.
School districts are true leaders when it
comes to energy efficiency, Lawton said.
Tight budgets demand it. I am proud that
the leaders of Kohler Schools have accept-
ed the challenge to be better stewards of
taxpayer dollars and of the environment.
The School District of Kohler is fully
committed to the ideals of energy efficien-
cy, said Dr. Robert Kobylski, superinten-
dent of the Kohler School District. We are
appreciative of the opportunity to collabo-
rate with the Lt. Governors office on the
Energy Star School Challenge. Not only
will our pledge to reduce energy consump-
tion by ten per cent result in significant
energy savings to the district, we realize our
conservation efforts will also have a posi-
tive impact on our local environment.
Lt. Governor Lawton issued her Energy
Star School Challenge in April as part of her
Green Economy Agenda. Lawton said that
her goal for the challenge is to commit at
least 100 new school districts, nearly 25
percent of all Wisconsin school districts, to
reduce their energy costs by at least ten per-
cent.
Participating organizations simply
agree to:
Make a commitment to improve energy
efficiency by ten percent or more
Measure and track the energy perform-
ance of their organizations facilities
where possible. Tools are available
through the Energy Star program at no
cost
Develop and implement a plan consis-
tent with the Energy Star Energy
Management Guidelines to achieve
energy savings
Educate staff and community members
about energy efficiency.
The Office of the Lt. Governors web-
site will connect participants to the Energy
Star program and other resources, and pro-
vide testimony and coaching from
Wisconsin school district energy managers.
The federal Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) will provide participants
with a key contact, as well as start-up and
measurement tools and technical assis-
tance, online trainings, strategic advice,
new construction advice/guidelines, build-
ing upgrade manual, portfolio manager, tar-
get finder, service and product and program
directory, calculators for upgrade and
financial value and for cash flow, financing
options, behavioral change suggestions,
and quick payback projects.
According to the EPA, U.S. schools cur-
rently spend $6 billion a year on energy
costs, more than they spend on textbooks
and computers combined. Inefficient tech-
nologies and design rob them of an average
of 20 percent of the energy purchased.
With high energy costs looming on the
horizon and sure losses to districts with the
inefficiencies inherent to their aging build-
ing stock, school leaders need access to an
easy way to begin to change operations and
habits, Lawton said. Different districts
may follow distinct paths to increased effi-
ciency, but they will all experience
improved performance and health with bet-
ter lighting and air quality. And they will all
realize significant savings that became
addictive and drive continued work toward
greater efficiency.
Lt. Governor Lawtons office coordi-
nates the Energy Star School Challenge,
including management of a web page with
links to EPA trainings.
Well turn Wisconsins school leaders
into Energy Stars, Lawton said.

Fans, families, and race car drivers pedal to raise $25,000
in 5th Tour de Road America Bike Ride to Fight Cancer
Elkhart Lake, WI Over 300 race fans,
families, and cancer survivors joined race
car drivers and their crews from the
American Le Mans Series and other racing
series for the 5th Tour de Road America
Bike Ride to Fight Cancer presented by
Delta Dental yesterday evening at Elkhart
Lakes Road America. The event is a
fundraiser for three cancer charities the
Lance Armstrong Foundation, the Hole in
the Wall Gang Camp, and the Vince
Lombardi Cancer Clinic.
The weather on Friday evening was
ideal for a bike ride around the 4.0 mile, 14
turn race track. Temperatures in the low
70s, low humidity, light winds and a beau-
tiful sunset made for a great ride on the pic-
turesque race track set in the hills and
moraines of eastern Wisconsin.
Great weather always helps, but event
organizers credit a team effort among par-
ticipants, racing series and teams, fans, and
track officials for the events success.
Its a lot of work, but it always comes
together really well, said volunteer Co-
Director George Siegle, of East Lansing,
MI. For most of us, were not doctors or
cancer researchers, and so we cant directly
heal or find cures for cancer. But coming
together like this, to support organizations
that do that kind or work and help people
survive cancer that we can do!
Co-Director Brett Edgerle of Kohler
said, As of last night, we estimate weve
raised about $20,000, and Saturdays silent
auction will put the total closer to $25,000
maybe more. The events principal benefi-
ciary, the Lance Armstrong Foundation,
administers cancer survivorship programs
nationally. But the event also has a local
connection, funding Wisconsin children for
a week at the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp
for seriously ill children, and by also shar-
ing its proceeds with the Vince Lombardi
Cancer Clinic in Sheboygan.
Sheboygan County Family
Health & Fitness Day to hold
bike ride
The Kohler Tourism and Promotion
Committee, along with Kohler School
Friends, are sponsoring a fitness ride on
September 27 at 8:00 a.m. Participants will
have a choice of either a 7 mile or an 18
mile ride along the Old Plank Road Trail.
All routes begin and end at Kohler Schools.
Along the routes you are encouraged to take
advantage of the rest stops that will provide
refreshments and food to get you on your
way. Sag support and sweep riders are avail-
able for cyclists needing assistance.
Helmets are required. The event is FREE
and open to all ages. If you are interested in
volunteering, please contact Suzanne Fink
at boys321@charter.net
Although not a race, this years Tour de
Road America featured a challenge from the
Corvette Racing team of the American Le
Mans Series. Team manager Doug Fehan
and driver Oliver Gavin challenged each
other to not only see who could raise the
most money, but also who would be the first
around the track. Doug emerged victorious
in the fundraiser, with Oliver winning the
on-track challenge.
The entire race paddock came out to sup-
port the ride, with drivers and crew from
many of the racing series participating in the
bike ride. Emanuele Pirro, of Rome, Italy
and driver of the Audi R10 in the American
Le Mans Series, was again eager to trade his
four wheels for two to help in the fight
against cancer, I have participated in this
special ride already in previous years and
did not hesitate a second when I was asked
whether I would participate again this year.
Continued Pirro, Many families still suffer
from the consequences of cancer. With the
ride we are setting a sign and make a small
contribution to fight cancer.
Although the ride is complete, organizers
will continue fundraising Saturday with a
silent auction of auto racing memorabilia,
cycling gear, and items donated by local
businesses. Participants and those visiting
the ride headquarters also receive oral can-
cer awareness information from Delta
Dental.
Held annually since 2004, the Tour de
Road America Bike Ride to Fight Cancer
presented by Delta Dental is 100% organ-
ized by volunteers and has raised over
$100,000 for cancer survivorship. The Tour
de Road America is made possible by the
support of Road America, the American Le
Mans Series and other racing series,
Giordana Cycling Apparel, Gear Grinder,
JHG Benefits, Bellas Custom Design, Tria
Design and Marketing, Marketing Acuity,

John Michael Kohler Arts Center receives
four-star rating from Charity Navigator
Rating Acknowledges Centers Financial Responsibility and Stability
The John Michael Kohler Arts Center
has received a Four-Star Rating from
Charity Navigator, Americas largest inde-
pendent evaluator of charities. This is the
second consecutive year the Arts Center
received the organizations highest rating.
Charity Navigator helps private and cor-
porate donors make smart decisions about
their charitable giving. It does so by rating
nonprofit organizations on their financial
stability and their ability to use donations
efficiently. It also examines the percentage
of funds a charity uses to meet its mission
versus the percentage used to pay staff
salaries and other overhead.
In a letter to the Arts Center, officials
with Charity Navigator wrote, Your organ-
ization excels, as compared to other chari-
ties in America, in successfully managing
the finances of your organization in an effi-
cient and effective manner. This consisten-
cy in your rating is an exceptional feat,
especially given the economic challenges
many charities have had to face in the last
year.
Mary Jo McBrearty, the Arts Centers
chief development officer, understands the
importance of fiscal responsibility to the
institutions financial donors. The Arts
Center is extremely proud that only 17 per-
cent of the charities rated have received at
least two consecutive four-star evaluations,
so this rating indicates that the John
Michael Kohler Arts Center outperforms
most charities in America in its efforts to
operate in the most fiscally responsible way
possible. The Arts Center is accountable to
its many individual, corporate, and founda-
tion donors and to government granting
agencies for being a responsible steward of
its resources and is pleased to be recognized
as worthy of their trust.
Charity Navigator works to advance a
more efficient and responsive philanthropic
marketplace by evaluating the financial
health of more than 5,300 of Americas
largest charities. Founded in 2001, the
organizationa 501(c)(3) nonprofit
accepts no donations from the charities it
evaluates. Rather, it is supported by indi-
viduals, corporations, and foundations that
believe in the importance of its services.
TIME magazine named Charity
Navigator One of Americas Coolest 50
Websites for 2006. In 2007, Business Week
inducted the website into its Philanthropy
Hall of Fame, and Kiplingers Financial
Magazine named the website One of the
Best Services to Make Life Easier. Over
four million people viewed information on
the Charity Navigator website last year.

Pine Haven Christian
Communities Foundation
to hold golf marathon
fundraiser
Sheboygan Falls, WI -- On Monday,
September 22 Pine Haven Christian
Communities Foundation will hold their
first golf marathon fundraiser. The event, to
be held at Riverdale Country Club, will
kick off with breakfast at 6:30 a.m. A shot-
gun start at 7:15 a.m. will begin play.
Riverdale is located at 5008 S. 12th Street
in Sheboygan.
Players can sign up individually and be
matched with a team or can create their own
team consisting of either a twosome or
threesome. Based on the brisk pace of play,
foursomes arent feasible for the event. A
$100 entry fee per player includes 100
holes of golf, cart, breakfast, food and
refreshments on the course, and player
gifts. Each player also receives a packet
with details for soliciting donations for each
hole played. There will be special prizes for
golfers raising the most money. With 30
golfers maximum, those interested are
encouraged to sign up early.
The marathon is designed so golfers can
complete their rounds by mid-afternoon
while enjoying the fellowship of the overall
event. In order to do that, golfers play mul-
tiple balls on every hole. For example, on
par four and par five holes, a golfer tees off
and typically plays two balls, while on par
three holes, he or she typically plays six
balls. Thus, each golfer completes multiple
holes but has only had to play one hole on
the course.
This fundraiser format has proven suc-
cessful in other communities so we are host-
ing it in the local area, says John Haack,
Director of the Pine Haven Christian
Communities Foundation. All proceeds
will be used to provide the highest quality
of life possible for the senior residents who
live at our facilities.
Pine Haven Christian Communities
began in Sheboygan Falls in 1950.
Currently they offer senior housing at two
facilities: Pine Haven Residential Center
which has 140 licensed rooms and Pine
Haven Skilled Nursing Care with 71 resi-
dents are both at the 531 Giddings Avenue,
Sheboygan Falls location. Prairie Crossing,
40 apartments for assisted living, is at 1280
Pine Haven Lane in Sheboygan Falls. The
newest development, Pine Haven-Oostburg,
will offer 24 assisted living apartments.
Construction is scheduled to begin soon and
be complete in late 2009. While Pine Haven
Christian Communities are supported by 18
local churches, residents of all faiths and
backgrounds are welcome. Pine Havens
mission is to provide quality, compassionate
care in a Christian environment.
For more information, to register and
obtain a player packet for the golf marathon,
call John Haack at 467-2401, ext. 151.

Superintendent notes:
Welcome back!
I know it is hard to believe, but summer vacation is
rapidly coming to a close. As we prepare for the first day
of school on Tuesday, September 2
nd
, I hope that all of
you had a wonderful summer, including some sunny days
spent with family and friends. We are fortunate that each
fall we have the opportunity to experience new students,
new friends, new places to explore, new ideas to try, new
things to learn, as well as renew our old and comfortable
relationships. Most of all, a new school year allows for a
renewed sense of purpose.
There is much to look forward to in the 08-09 school
year. Know that the Board of Education, faculty, staff
members, and administration are committed to providing
creative and meaningful learning opportunities for all stu-
dents. We are confident that this will be our best year yet!
Upon their return, students will notice a few physical
changes to our campus, most notably the start of the
Ebben Field renovation project. This project, which will
benefit our students for years to come, was made possible
by a generous contribution from Kohler Co. I know I
speak for the entire learning community as I offer our sin-
cere gratitude to Kohler Co. for this gift.
Students will receive detailed information on other less
visible signs of change, such as our new safety and securi-
ty plan during the first few weeks of school. Besides the
physical changes, there are numerous changes within our
staff. There are a total of eleven new assignments. This
includes new hires, as well as staff members who have
taken on new positions. Please join me in welcoming
these new staff members to the KPS community.
Finally, the professional staff at the Kohler Public
Schools is dedicated to providing each and every child
with a nurturing and fulfilling learning environment. Once
again, we ask for all members of our learning community
to embrace our educational journey as we embark upon
the 2008-2009 school year. Consider this an open invita-
tion to join us at any of the myriad of academic and co-
curricular activities or events in
support of our students.
I wish everyone an enjoyable
and productive school year.
Yours in education,
Dr. Robert Kobylski

How to help your child
succeed on standardized tests
Submitted by Susan Jaberg / Elementary Principal
Standardized tests are more common today than ever before.
Tests are used to measure student achievement.
Tests are used to tell our school which skills students need to improve.
Tests are used to design lessons to raise your childs academic performance.
Tests are also used to evaluate our schools performance.
You can boost your childs performance on standardized tests. The following tips may
help your child feel confident and well-prepared to succeed.
1. Attendance makes a difference.
*Come everyday.
*Come on time.
*Try not to schedule appointments and vacation during school hours.
2. Good Health = Good Test Scores.
*Eat breakfast?
*Get at least 8 hours of sleep.
*Encourage your child to exercise daily.
3. Read for Success.
*A child who can read well is more likely to succeed in school.
To overcome test anxiety, dont have your child cram. Remind your child to read the
directions and dont waste time worrying about a question you cant answer.
NWEA Testing is a national test that is given to students in grade 2-9 in late September.
WKCE Testing is a state test that is given to students in grade 3-10 in early November.

The Kohler School Foundation is pleased to present a
donation of $54,000 to the Kohler School District for six-
teen additional projection units for classrooms. The
Project: Project into the Future campaign was a great suc-
cess, thanks to a compilation of community members gen-
erous donations. The vast majority of classrooms now have
the technology, as installation took place over the summer
so teachers can hit the ground running this school year.
The projection units will allow teachers to present con-
cepts in a new, more visual way for students, as they can be
directly linked to the instructors classroom computer.
Living in a technology-driven society, students today
have become very visual, says Wendy Nasgovitz, infor-
mation technology specialist at Kohler School District.

Kohler School District receives Sixteen
Projection Units for 2008-09
It makes sense for the district to be able to reach them
in the way theyre comfortable learning. Students and
teachers will be able to use the projectors for presentations
and online classroom research among other ways to learn.
Second grade teacher Lori Neurohr has already recognized
benefits, having regularly used one of the seven units
installed during the 2007-08 school year: It is a wonder-
ful way to demonstrate the use of computer programs, show
online videos that enhance curriculum. Now that I have
this resource, I cannot imagine teaching without it.
The Kohler School Foundation wishes to thank all of
the generous contributors to Project: Project into the Future
and will continue to accept donations to ensure the few
remaining classrooms receive the technology.
The Kohler School Foundation extends its deep appreciation for the generous community support of the Project: Project into the Future cam-
paign. Recognizing the immeasurable value of investing in our education system and in our students is a most worthy cause. These individuals
and businesses are making a positive difference. We thank you for a successful campaign.

Parents:
The Wisconsin Student Immunization law was recent-
ly changed . Two different vaccine requirements
were added which may affect your childs compliance
with the law. The change will go into effect this fall
with the beginning of the 2008-2009 school year.
Parents are required to have their children vaccinated
or claim a waiver by indicating their choice on the
attached Student Immunization Record and returning
it to their childs school. The following fact sheet
should help to answer your questions about the new
requirements:
New Tdap and Varicella Immunization
Requirements for Students
Why are these requirements being made?
From 1986 through 2004, Wisconsin had the 5
th
highest rate of pertussis (whooping cough) in the
nation with almost 5,000 cases being reported in
2004 alone. Pertussis outbreaks occur because pro-
tection declines 5-10 years after completion of child-
hood DTP/DTaP vaccinations. Tdap is a new vaccine
that is recommended for adolescents and is anticipat-
ed to help prevent pertussis from occurring including
pertussis outbreaks in schools. Pertussis can place a
significant burden on children and parents as a per-
son with pertussis must be isolated for a minimum of
5 days of antibiotic treatment.
Two doses of varicella vaccine have been shown to
be more effective than one dose in preventing break-
through disease cases of chickenpox in children of
all age groups.
Recommendations for both Tdap and varicella vac-
cines are made by the Advisory Committee on
Immunization Practices to the Center for Disease
Control (CDC).
What are the new requirements, what grades are
affected and when will they begin?
The Wisconsin Student Immunization Law will
require:
1 dose of tetanus, diphtheria and acellular pertus-
sis vaccine (Tdap) for students entering 6
th
, 9
th
and 12
th
grades, and
2 doses of varicella (chickenpox) vaccine for stu-
dents entering Kindergarten, 6
th
and 12
th
grades
beginning in the 2008-09 school year (this coming
fall).
What do parents need to do?
Have your child vaccinated with Tdap and/or varicella
vaccine if he or she has not already received the
vaccine(s). Record the date(s) of the immunization
in the bold outlined box(s) on the enclosed Student
Immunization Record, sign it and return it to your
childs school. To claim a waiver for health, religious
or personal conviction reasons follow the instructions
on the Student Immunization Record and return the
signed form to your childs school.
Also, be sure to add the Tdap and varicella vaccine
dates to the permanent immunization record you
keep for your child at home. In the future, s/he may
need to give these dates to other schools, colleges
or employers.
Are there exceptions to the Tdap and varicella
vaccine requirements?
Yes, there are two. The first is with Tdap vaccine. If
your child will be entering 6
th
, 9
th
or 12
th
grade and
already received a tetanus-containing vaccine (eg.
Td vaccine) within the last 5 years, your child is com-
pliant and Tdap vaccine is not required. Check the
box marked Td, enter the date it was received on
the Student Immunization Record and return it to
school. The second exception is for varicella vaccine.
If your child had chickenpox disease, even after the
1
st
dose of varicella vaccine, further doses of the
vaccine are not required. Check the Yes box to the
chickenpox disease question on the Student
Immunization Record and return it to school.
If my child already had pertussis disease, should
he or she still get the Tdap vaccine?
Children who have had pertussis disease should
receive Tdap according to the routine recommenda-
tions because the length of protection provided by
disease is unknown and because the diagnosis can
be difficult to confirm. This is not an exception to the
Tdap requirement.
Where can I get Tdap and/or varicella vaccine for
my child?
These vaccines are available from your childs doctor
or local health department. Please have your child
immunized well in advance of school opening to
avoid the late summer rush at doctors offices and
immunization clinics
School Immunization Law Fact Sheet for Parents
ONGOING SCHOOL POLICIES
No Latex Balloons
Latex balloons cannot be brought into the building because of students with severe latex allergies. Mylar balloons
are the safe alternative.
No Animals on School Grounds
It is Kohler School Districts policy that no animals are allowed on school grounds. Dogs and cats must be on leash-
es and on sidewalks when near the school. If a student or parent would like to bring a pet to school, he/she must
receive permission from the Principal in advance. This policy is in effect for the safety of our students.
Tardy? Absent? Parents, please call the office
In the event that your child will not be attending school or will be tardy, please call the attendance voice mailbox
and let the office know the reason for the childs absence/tardiness. You can reach the Attendance voice mailbox
by dialing 459-2920 Ext. 5.
EMERGENCY OR INCLEMENT WEATHER
CLOSING PROCEDURES
Updated: 8/24/2008
As we begin another year, it is once again time to review the procedures for school closings due to inclement weather.
As in the past, we ask parents to discuss this issue with their children NOW- before the actual emergency occurs. If
you are generally not home during the day, be sure your child knows NOWwhere they are to go if school closed early
(Will they go home with a classmate? Older sibling? A relative? Have you made prior arrangements with this individual to
be on stand by for these occasions?) In emergency closing situations, forty or fifty children wanting to call home/work to
find out where to go, seriously delays the entire closing process. Please make sure your arrangements in advance and be
sure your child is fully aware of what to do.
Any decision to close schools for all or any portion of a school day will be made as early as possible in order to afford
parents the opportunity to make alternate child care transportation plans. All closing announcements or early dismissals
will be made on the following area radio/television stations:
WHBL (1330 AM), WXER (104.5 OR 96.1 FM ), WSTM (91.3 FM) The Breeze, WLKN (98.1)
WTMJ - Channel 4, WFRV - Channel 5, WISN - Channel 12, NBC 26 - Channel 26, WLUK -Channel 11, WITI - Channel
6, WBAY-TV/DT 2 - Channel 2.
Kohler and Howards Grove High Schools proudly announce Disney's
blockbuster hit High School Musical as the fall musical production.
Auditions will be held at Kohler Memorial Theater on September 4 and
September 8 from 5:30-9:00pm. We invite all interested high school stu-
dents to prepare 16 bars of music and join us for auditions. If you are not
able to attend, please call drama director Travis Knier at 920-286-1313.
Mark your calendars for the smash hit musical as it comes to life on our
stage. Due to its popularity and demand, an additional performance has
been added. Performances are scheduled for November 13, 14, 15 and 16
at the Kohler Memorial Theater.
We will need parental assistance with the production too! We need help with props, costumes, sets,
ticket sales and promotions. Community adults who wish to work behind the scenes should also contact
one of the directors.

A note on MOVIE ratings!!!
Here at the Kohler Public Library,
we follow the Motion Picture
Association of Americas rating
scale. Therefore we do not circulate
items rated PG-13 to children under
13 or R rated items to children
under 17 (unless they have a written
permission slip on file).
Recently, DVDs have been released
in UNRATED editions. I want to
take a minute to clarify what the dif-
ference is between unrated and NOT
RATED. DVDs that are released of
made for TV movies or television
series are often NOT RATED, which
means that they were never reviewed
or rated by the MPAA. We usually
use common sense when labeling
those items, more often than not giv-
ing them a PG-13 if they are violent
or PG if they are intended for chil-
dren.
UNRATED editions of movies that
have been released to theaters are
quite different. This rating means
that the DVD contains material that
was cut out by production to make
the film fit into a lower MPAA rat-
ing. The material has been added
back into the movie for its DVD
release and therefore it can be quite
more adult than what you saw in
the theater.

always label them as R, even if the

School is back in Session
Now that school is back in session, please
remember to drive carefully on the streets
around the school. The speed limit is 15 mph
when children are present in the school zones.
There is no stopping or standing of vehicles for
the westbound traffic on School Street. Also,
parents that drop children off in the morning
should do so close to the crosswalk so the stu-
dents can be helped across the street. Students
that are crossing in mid-block amongst the
vehicles are harder to see and are not as safe.
Also remember that students can now be
dropped off on the north side under the canopy
to avoid the traffic.

Wisconsinites Must Pay Attention When Voting
in States Open Partisan Primary
New or infrequent voters in the Village of
Kohler should remember that Wisconsins
September 9 partisan primary election allows
them to choose any party in the voting booth,
but not more than one party.
Since the early 1900s, Wisconsin has had an
open primary which gives voters more choic-
es on Election Day. The partisan primary is a
party activity in which voters may assist a
single party in choosing its nominee for the
general election.
Our open primary system allows you to receive
a ballot without publicly declaring any party
affiliation and without making up your mind
before you get to the voting booth. But you
cant vote for candidates of more than one
political party. In other words, choose one
political party and stick with it throughout the
ballot.
The elector is given a ballot and, in private,
chooses the party or independent he/she will
vote for. At the partisan primary, an elector
may vote only in one party or for independent
candidates.
All offices up for election appear on the ballot
whether or not the party has fielded a candi-
date. Even if there is no ballot candidate for a
particular office in a party, voters still may
write in a candidates name. The exception to
this is the Independent ballot. The only inde-
pendent candidates that will appear on the
September 9, 2008 primary ballot are inde-
pendent candidates for legislative office (State
Senator or Representative to the Assembly).
The performance of these candidates in the pri-
mary will affect their eligibility for state grant
money. Independent candidates for Congress,
district attorney or county offices will appear
on the November ballot.
Election Day Pointers for the Fall Primary
Election
Wisconsins September 9 partisan primary elec-
tion is right around the corner. Here are some
reminders to voters of what is acceptable and
unacceptable behavior at the polling places.
It is okay for local volunteer organizations
