Thirty-seven years of KPAL

Bingo comes to an end
The August 30, 2011 Bingo nite
hosted by the Kohler Police Ath-
letic League (KPAL) ended a 37-
year tradition in Kohler, as
declining attendance led KPAL to
make the tough decision to discon-
tinue the event.
Held on the fourth Sunday of
the month from March through
November, “Bingo Nite” began in
1974 when Wes Prange felt the
KPAL needed to raise additional
funds for youth activities in the
Village of Kohler. Originally,
Bingo was held in the “Tap Room”
of the American Club, and then
moved to the Kohler Firehouse,
where the event has been held for
the past 30 or more years.
In the beginning, Bingo cost $3
per game. Most recently, it was
still a great value at $10 for regular
bingo and $5 for the early bird
game.
Over the years, KPAL members
enjoyed the camaraderie at “Bingo
Nite” and got to know many of the
attendees who came from through-
out Sheboygan County. The first
Bingo coordinator or “Czar” was
Henry Fricke; then came Marvin
Verhelst, who took over for many
years; followed by Gary Wight-
man, Jeff Simon, and finally Cam
Litt. The funds raised from Bingo
have helped pay for the two annual
$1,000 scholarships given to a
male and female Kohler High
School graduate each year. In ad-
dition, proceeds helped pay for • Blessed Trinity Parish, 327 Gid- • St Cyril & Methodius Parish, dimes, nickels, quarters as

was decided to no longer do
Bingo. It was a tough decision for
the organization, but one that had
to be made since we can now use
our efforts in other areas that will
help generate additional funds for
youth activities. The KPAL organ-
ization would like to thank all
Kohler residents and the greater
Sheboygan area community that
supported bingo in the past.”
Some of the long-time players
expressed their sadness that the 37-
year tradition was ending, stating
that it was one of the few activities
that gave the elderly a chance to
get out of the house. “Everything
is being taken away from the eld-
erly,” said Sheboygan Falls resi-
dent Bertha Cook, 98, who has
attended the KPAL Bingo night for
25 years. “There isn’t much for the
elderly to do but sit at home.”
While some churches in the
City of Sheboygan and around the
county have also discontinued
their Bingo, avid players still have
some options. The following is a
list of churches and organizations After sharing that she hadn’t won more than one or two KPAL Bingo games in the 25 years she has been attending, Bertha
that still hold Bingo events: Cook, 98, of Sheboygan Falls wins one at the final KPAL Bingo game that ended a 37-year tradition.

Sports Core lobby, tennis courts getting makeover

If you’ve been to the Sports
Core in Kohler recently, you’ve
noticed major construction taking
place. The lobby and tennis courts
are undergoing some exciting ren-
ovations that are expected to be
completed around December 16,
2011. The annual anniversary party
that normally takes place in Sep-
tember was postponed until after
the renovations are complete, and
will be combined with an open
house celebration.
Plans include a new reception
desk located closer to the entrance,
which will also free up more space
for viewing the tennis courts. A
new stairway will feature much
brighter lighting and an artistic fab-
ric centerpiece. New flooring in the
lobby area will be a combination of
wood grain vinyl plank, carpet and
walk off mats near the entrance for
messy weather.
In the tennis viewing area,
chairs will be reupholstered along
with tennis benches adjacent to the
courts. New café tables and café
stools will be added for viewing
while enjoying a favorite snack or
beverage from Take 5 Café. Com-
fortable seating areas with flat
screen televisions will be located
on the north and south end of the
lobby with additional accent light-
ing for reading.
All six tennis courts will be
resurfaced to match the outdoor
courts. State-of-the-art lighting,
heating and ceiling insulation will
make the court area more efficient
and brighter for players. The ceil-
ing over the courts will extend over
the viewing area, allowing specta-
tors a more open and enhanced
view of court play.

Annual Fall Follies Kohler Graduate

coming up Saturday,
October 15
Kohler School Foundation’s
Fall Follies is great fun! The
evening includes silent and live
auctions as well as dinner and
dancing. The auction is a commu-
nity-wide effort and a great way to
support and get involved with the
school. Fall Follies is scheduled
for Saturday, October 15, 2011, in
the Main Stage tent centrally lo-
cated at The Shops at Woodlake.
Since 2007, the event has
helped to raise over $150,000 that
has directly supported the Kohler
School Foundation’s Annual Fund
and Student Scholarships. The An-
nual Fund provides for items not
otherwise funded by the school
budget. To date funding has pro-
vided many technology related en-
hancements including the
construction of the Distance Learn-
ing Center, overhead projection
units for each classroom, and a
mobile laptop lab. Last year, the
Annual Fund reached beyond tech-
nology and into the intangible as-
pects of developing the student
through Challenge Day, a program
that focused on developing an
awareness of the social challenges
of the Middle School and High
School. Together with the Kohler
School Friends PTO, the Kohler
School Foundation also supported
the Kind Matters campaign
throughout the school and into the
community.
This year’s entertainment will
be an ensemble student perform-
ance of Carrie Underwood’s
“There’s a Place for Us,” the
Kohler High School Drum Line is
to make an appearance, followed
by a lively auction hosted by
emcee’s David Kohler, Superinten-
dent Marty Lexmond and auction-
eer extraordinare Daven Claerbout.
There will be a scrumptious Tail-
gate Buffet and Dancing to follow.
Special items that will be on the
auction block this year are club
seating for the Super Bowl Cham-
pion Green Bay Packers, a Sum-
mer Jeep or convertible rental, a
romantic Door County bed and
breakfast weekend and much,
much more.
“Fall Follies is truly about the
strength in numbers, when talented
volunteers, engaged faculty, gener-
ous community and business lead-
ers and enthusiastic parents and
alumni come together for the bet-
terment of our school and the ben-
efit of our children. There is no end
to what we, together, can accom-
plish.” said Kohler School Founda-
tion President Nina Kohler. “I am
so proud of our school and believe
this year’s event is a wonderful op-
portunity to support all of the great
initiatives on the horizon.”
Invitations are in the mail (ex-
tras for pickup are found in the
District Office). New this year is
the option to place table reserva-
tions, purchase tickets, and even
make a donation to the Foundation
online at www.kohlerschoolfoun-
dation.org. Rally friends, meet
new ones. Come show your school
spirit. Mark your calendars, book
your babysitter and come together
for a “fun”raiser to benefit the stu-
dents and faculty of Kohler

Kohler senior named
semifinalists in the 2012
National Merit Scholarship
Program
Melyssa Louwagie, daughter
of Cheryl and Randal Louwagie
of Kohler has been named a 2012
National Merit Scholarship Semi-
finalist. On September 14, 2011
officials of the National Merit
Scholarship Corporation an-
nounced the names of approxi-
mately 16,000 Semifinalists in the
57th annual National Merit Schol-
arship Program. These academi-
cally talented high school seniors
continue to compete for 8,300 Na-
tional Merit Scholarships worth
more than $34 million. These
scholarships will be offered next
spring. Semifinalists must fulfill
several requirements in order to
advance to the Finalist level.
About 90 percent of the Semifi-
nalists are expected to attain Fi-
nalist standing. More than half of
the Finalists will receive a Na-
tional Merit Scholarship; thus,
earning the title of Merit Scholar.
The National Merit Scholar-
ship Corporation (NMSC) is a
not-for-profit organization that op-
erates without government assis-
tance and was established in 1955
specifically to conduct the annual
National Merit Scholarship Pro-
gram. Scholarships are underwrit-
ten by NMSC with its own funds.
Approximately 440 business or-
ganizations and higher education
institutions share NMSC’s goals
of honoring the nation’s scholastic
champions and encouraging the
pursuit of academic excellence.
More that 1.5 million juniors in
over 22, 000 high schools entered
the 2012 National Merit Program
by taking the 2010 Preliminary
SAT/National Merit Scholarship
Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT).

Kohler resident’s new
business offers help
in enhancing home
appeal and efficiency
For more than two decades,
Kohler resident Lisa Scheppmann’s
passion and talents for the home de-
sign field has continued to grow
and manifest itself in a variety of
ways. After graduating from the
University of Minnesota, Lisa’s
journey into home design and décor
began with the building of their
first home. Highlights since then
include playing an integral role in
the floor plan designs and décor of
each of her family’s two subsequent
homes, along with working for a
popular Window Treatment Design
Center and a leading Home Design
Studio – both in the Twin Cities
area. She also started a home win-
dow treatment business, creating
custom designs for numerous
homes in the Sheboygan and
Kohler areas. Lisa believes in the
vital importance and value of home
functionality and efficiency (floor
plan layout, storage and organiza-
tion) and along those lines created
a customizable home filing system,
The Home File Manager, as an aid
in combating paper chaos. She has
just recently launched a new ven-
ture bringing together her assorted
expertise under a single roof called
House to HAVEN Designs (part of
Lakeshore Creations, LLC.) Its
customers will be offered a collec-
tion of useful services sure to ap-
peal to home sellers, buyers, and
existing home owners alike.
Lisa said the mission of House
to HAVEN Designs is to work with
her clients to transform the style
and functionality of their homes.
She prefers to take a holistic ap-
proach to every project with the
goal of creating a cohesive look
throughout the customer’s home
while optimizing its overall flow,
efficiency, and value.
Lisa Scheppmann
Lisa believes that given the
ultra-competitive state of today’s
realty market, it is critical for home
sellers to leverage the full potential
(style and space) of their homes.
This will give the seller their best
chance to get noticed and stand out
from the crowd. Conversely, for
those planning to stay in their
homes awhile, Lisa said that House
to HAVEN Designs seeks to create
the type of comfortable and inviting
environment that would make the
home owner never want to leave.
Her unique range of offerings en-
compass Home Staging Plans,
Home Transformation Plans, Cus-
tom Window Treatments, Home
Paper Management Systems, along
with providing a variety of project
related services as requested.
Whether you are a do-it-yourself
type or would rather leave the work
to others, Lisa’s approach is to de-
liver creative style and/or storage
solutions that fit her clients’ budg-
ets. She can be reached at 920/457-
7175 or by visiting her informative
and attractive new website –

Sheboygan, Wis. – The Sheboygan
Children’s Book Festival returns
to Sheboygan October 14-16,
bringing a stellar slate of chil-
dren’s book creators to the com-
munity for three days of free,
public events in celebration of
books, reading, writing and art.
The Sheboygan Children’s Book
Festival features an array of noted
authors and illustrators of picture
books, non-fiction books and nov-
els for middle grades and young
adults.
This year’s event theme is
memory. Festival goers will have
the opportunity to hear authors and
illustrators speak about how mem-
ory has played a role in their
books.

The award-winning authors
and illustrators scheduled to take
part in the festival include Jerry
Pinkney, M.T. Anderson, Candace
Fleming, Henry Cole, Liz Garton
Scanlon, Tom Lichtenheld,
Catherine Gilbert Murdock and
Wisconsin’s own Francisco X.
Mora (Glendale) and Stacey
Williams-Ng (Milwaukee).
“Last year, the 2010 Sheboygan
Children’s Book Festival brought
more than 1,500 people to our city
and our library for author talks, il-
lustrator open studios, workshops,
and other children’s literature
based programs. The response
was overwhelmingly positive and
library customers have continued
to talk about it and ask about the
next children’s book festival,” says
Karin Menzer, youth services
manager at Mead Public Library.
Mead Public Library will host a
number of author/illustrator pre-
sentations and workshops during
the festival.

25% of the money raised stays in
Sheboygan County. Last year just
over $2,764 went to the Sheboy-
gan Food Bank and $651 was
given to the Plymouth Food Bank.
The remaining funds are sent to

by providing safe drinking water,
preventive health services and
other humanitarian aid to some of
the world’s poorest populations.

Man, Charlie Brown”

Some of the actors from YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN, get into character. Top
row: Rachel O'Keefe (Lucy), Andrew Grose (Charlie Brown), and Greg Suralik (Schroeder).
Bottom row: Logan Wright (Linus), Kathryn Anderson (Snoopy) and Sarah Leick (Sally).

Most of the actors in the cast of
“You're A Good Man, Charlie
Brown" aren’t old enough to have
read Charles M. Schulz’s famous
cartoon strip while it still appeared
in newspapers. But 30 Kohler
High students are getting a crash
course in all of the Peanuts mythol-
ogy as they rehearse the songs,
scenes and dances from the popu-
lar musical based on fifty years of
Schulz cartoons.
“You're A Good Man, Charlie
Brown” will hit the stage at Kohler
Memorial Theatre on Friday, No-
vember 11 at 7 pm and continue
the run at 7 pm on November 12th

day, November 13th at 2 pm.
Andrew Grose will take the lead
as Charlie Brown, and his trusty
sidekick, Snoopy, will be played by
Kathryn Anderson. His arch neme-
sis, Lucy Van Pelt, is played by
Rachel O'Keefe, and Lucy's love
interest, Schroeder, is played by
Greg Suralik. Sarah Leick and
Logan Wright round out the leads
as Sally Brown and Linus Van Pelt.
“Every person in the cast will
play a specific character from the
comic strip," says director Peggy
Hoffmann. "From recurring char-
acters like Pigpen and Marcie and
Peppermint Patty to featured char-
acters like Cormac and Royanne
and Joe Agate. We even have
Woodstock and her troop of birds.”

The cast is hard at work learn-
ing choreography from Katie
Schmidt, who choreographed last
year's successful production of
"Thoroughly Modern Millie." A
pit orchestra featuring Kohler High
musicians along with pianist
Wendy Kukla will provide the ac-
companiment for the songs. Light-
ing will be designed by Ryan
Tengowski.
The cast also includes Jessie
Dyksterhouse (Frieda), Elyse
Gutschow (Eudora), Grace Lof-
gren (Woodstock), Zach Neil (Pig-
pen), John Tengowski (Shermy),

Warrior Dash success for Kohler Warriors!

By Kate Marventano
On September 17, a group of
Kohler villagers participated in the
Warrior Dash in Twin Lakes, WI.
The event included a 5k run and 12
obstacles that included climbing or
descending sheer walls, traversing
cargo nets, leaping over fire, and
swimming through mud under
barbed wire! The Warriors’ chal-
lenge gear showed great imagina-
tion with group themes, including
“Soda and Beer”, “Camo”, and a
“Black and Red” theme. Three
standouts from the Village of
Kohler: the first male finisher in
the group was Josh Andrews; the
first female finisher was Kim Post;
and the prize for the toughest war-
rior goes to Cassandra Wohlge-
muth for completing the entire
course in high heels! Warrior re-
wards included t-shirts, medals,
and a warrior hat. Warriors had the
opportunity to donate their sneak-
ers to the Green Sneakers program,
which gives shoes to people
around the world that need
footwear. The warriors were
treated to a huge after-party sport-

Three from Kohler
compete in grueling
Wisconsin Ironman
Two Kohler residents were
among the nearly 2,500 athletes to
run, bike, and swim as part of the
Ironman Wisconsin triathlon,
which took place in Madison on
September 11. Participants from as
far away as Sweden, Germany, Ar-
gentina, France, South Africa, and
Canada converged on the state’s
capital to take part in the grueling
140.6 mile event, which includes a
2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, and
26.2 mile run. Participants have
from 7 a.m. until midnight to fin-
ish the race.
The Ironman Wisconsin is
known for its huge crowd support.
The more than 45,000 spectators
line the streets to watch the event.
The swim takes place in Lake
Monona, near the Monona Ter-
race, the bike route has a reputa-
tion of being hilly and challenging,
and the run takes two loops
through the UW-Madison campus,
Camp Randal Stadium, and State
Street, finishing in front of the
state capitol.
It was the first full Ironman
triathlon for Sara Hess, 36, of
Kohler, who placed 33rd in the
event for the female 35 - 39 age
group, 159 in her gender (all ages),
and 901 overall. Over the summer
she did two half Ironman events
and a few other Olympic distance
triathlons to help prepare for the
Ironman Wisconsin race. To train
for the event, Hess began a nine-
month, six-day-a-week training
program in January. An easy week
required eight to ten hours of train-
ing, and a hard week reached 15 to
17 hours. “My husband and I
would study the training schedule
each week and arrange my work-
outs so that they could be organ-
ized around my job and family life.
I typically tried to get at least part
of my training done before going
into work in the morning.” (Sara
and her husband, Dr. George Hess,
III, have a dental practice in She-
boygan. They
have a five-
year-old daugh-
ter, Amber, who
is in senior
kindergarten at
Kohler Elemen-
tary). Hess said
training was
Sara Hess
more difficult during the cold,
winter months when she would
typically swim laps in the pool at
the Sports Core, and tried to run
outside as often as possible. Her
indoor bike trainer was used pre-
dominantly when the weather did-
n't allow outdoor biking. Her
spring and summer training con-
sisted of running in Kohler and
Sheboygan Falls, biking in the
Kettles, and open water swim-
ming. “It was common for my hus-
band and 5-year old daughter to
kayak next to me in Elkhart Lake
during my 2-2.5 mile swims,” said
Hess.
When asked if she plans to
enter another Ironman in the fu-
ture, Hess said she will certainly
do many more triathlons, but does-
n’t have plans to do another full
Ironman in the near future. “It was
a fantastic experience. Every mo-
ment of the day is so vivid in my
memory. The volunteers were
wonderful and crowd support in
Madison was unbelievable. I
couldn't have trained for such a
long event without the help and
support of my husband, family,
and friends!” Hess said. Her times
were: Swim: 1:18:26; Transition:
9:44; Bike: 6:45:24; Transition:
6:36; Run: 4:30:24 for a total of 12
hrs., 50 min., 33 sec.
It was also the first full Ironman
for Brett Edgerle, 51, who placed
40th in the male 50-54 age group,
620 in his gender (all ages), and
773 overall. He has done four half
Ironman distance races in the past.

Laurie Lindow:
Village of Kohler Centennial: In 2012 the
Village will be celebrating its Centennial.
Plans are already being made for a parade,
village picnic, fireworks, and more activi-
ties the weekend of August 3-5, 2012. The
committee is also working on publishing a
book to commemorate the centennial, but
we need your help. We are looking for
true-life stories – personal reminiscences
of life in Kohler; interesting descriptions of
events, adventures, and family anecdotes;
seasonal or holiday memories; memorable
people who affected the lives of others;
recollections of life “back when”; little-
known historical items; etc. We’re espe-
cially glad to get humorous anecdotes.
Any appropriate memory or photo is wel-
come. The editorial style will be relaxed
and conversational with a first-person “I
remember when” approach, so please write
your memory the way you’d relate it to a
friend. Because we would like to include
as many memories as possible in the book,
please keep longer stories to no more than
500 words.
To be considered, email your submission
to: angie@horizondesign.biz. Or mail your
www.kohlervillage.org
submission to: Angie Packer, 517 Audubon
Road, Kohler, WI 53044.
Contributor’s Guidelines: by submitting
material for publication, you grant the Vil-
lage of Kohler unrestricted use of the ma-
terial, including your name and current
city/state. We reserve the right to modify,
reproduce, and distribute the material in
any medium and in any manner. We may
contact you via phone or email regarding
your submission.
Be sure your submission contains your
name, mailing address, phone number, and
email address, if available. Don’t forget to
include the year (can be approximate) in
which your memory took place.
In an effort to involve as many contributors
as possible in this “reader-written” book,
we may edit or excerpt longer stories to fit
within our publication’s constraints.
We prefer using high-resolution (300dpi)
scans sent via email. If sending photos,
please make sure your name and address
appear on the back of each photo, and
identify any information you know regard-
ing who, what, where, and when. You’re
welcome to send a photocopy of an origi-
nal photo (for reference only, since photo-
copies cannot be reproduced in the actual
publication). Or, we suggest that you first
have a reprint made of cherished family
photos before sending them. If we use the
memory, we may ask to borrow the origi-
nal or a sharp reprint. Photos are returned
upon publication.
From Police Chief
Bill Rutten:
Trick-or-Treat: The Kohler Police Depart-
ment wants trick-or-treating to be fun and
safe for everyone. To help that cause, Offi-
cer Sass will be holding a Safe Trick-or-
Treat Awareness Program in the school for
the younger students. He will be passing
out trick-or-treat bags from the Police De-
partment. During Trick-or-Treating, which
will be on October 31st from 5:00 to 7:00
pm, officers will hand out the glow neck-
laces to any child that wants one. The glow
necklaces will make the children more vis-
ible as they are enjoying the night out.
Choosing a costume where the kids are
able to maintain good vision is also a very
good idea.
Carrying Concealed Weapons: As many
of you know, the State of Wisconsin will
have a new law going into effect on No-
vember 1, 2011, which allows carrying a
concealed weapon with a permit. The law
requires a background check and training.
In addition, the law still prohibits carrying
a concealed weapon in certain specific lo-
cations, such as Schools, Police Depart-
ments, and anywhere the premises are
posted. It is the responsibility of the permit
holder to know where they can carry. It is
advised that those that have a permit and
are carrying concealed to state that fact to a
law enforcement officer if you are having
contact.

Kohler High School Adds
New Opportunities
As the new school year settles
in, attention turns to what is new in
the learning experience in our
schools. Kohler High School has
added a number of new options
and activities to the educational ex-
perience.
On the academic side, Kohler
High School added new online
course providers and significantly
expanded Advanced Placement
(AP) offerings. In the fall of 2010,
Kohler High School offered 3 AP
courses, all face-to-face instruc-

Students for the 2011-2012 School Year
On the student development
side, Kohler High School launched
an advisory model through which
students in grades 9-12 meet twice
monthly with their high school ad-
visor. The purpose of advisory is
to build community across all
grade levels and teachers, to mon-
itor and support student progress,
and to hold important character de-
velopment conversations through
planned activities. The character
development conversations in-
clude discussion about making and
keeping friends, making ethical
decisions, and setting and meeting
goals.
Also on the student develop-
ment side, the Board recently ap-
proved a new, entry-level
NOTICE FOR ANNUAL DISTRICT MEETING
Notice is hereby given to the qualified electors of the School District of Kohler, County of Sheboy-
gan, State of Wisconsin, that an Annual Meeting of said district for the transaction of business will be
held in the District Library in the school on Tuesday, the twenty-fifth day of October, 2011, at seven-
thirty o’clock p.m. The Budget Hearing of said district for review of the budget will be held in the same
place on the same day at seven o’clock p.m.

tion. In the fall of 2011, the school
is offering 6 AP classes, four of
which are face-to-face courses and
2 are online. This significant in-
crease in students taking more rig-
orous courses supports the effort to
ensure that all students are college
ready.
Also on the academic side, the
high school added a new type of
study hall called Resource Study
Hall. This study hall provides a
small group setting where the
teacher provides additional moni-
administrative position. The Di-
rector of Student Life will serve as
the leader of the "lived" experience
in Kohler Schools with the school
principals focusing more energy
on the academic or learning expe-
rience. The Director of Student
Life will serve as the athletic direc-
tor, provide leadership for all
extra-curricular activities, support
online learners, support advisory,
and manage high school student
leadership development activities.
This position is budget neutral
given the recent departure of a dis-
trict administrator. This new posi-
tion became a possibility through
thoughtful redistribution of re-
sponsibilities within the organiza-

who are not staying on the college
readiness path. Students are as-
signed to the study hall if they had
course grades in the previous se-
mester not on the college readiness
path or show signs of falling be-
hind in current courses. These are
highly supportive experiences
where each student is provided
with the follow up needed to be
successful in high school.
Finally and most importantly,
the high school welcomed 10 stu-
dents new to Kohler Schools.
These students are in each grade in
the high school with new district
families, new open enrolled stu-
dents, and international students
coming to Kohler High School for
the first time. The students were
paired with a Student Council Am-
bassador to welcome them to high
school and the district. Ambassa-
dors provide tours for the students,
make sure the new students are
connecting socially and academi-
cally, and help make Kohler High
School the best place to receive a
high school education.

The students learned how many
young people and especially girls
do not have the educational oppor-
tunities that many students in the
United States take for granted.
After reading and discussing the
book in their groups over several
weeks, the students all wanted to
find a way to help students in an-
other part of the world.
The students shared what they
had learned with the other Ele-
mentary students by reading the
book Listen to the Wind. Then
with the help of Mrs. Multer, they
arranged for a Pennies for Pencils
drive to take place during the
month of May at Kohler Elemen-
tary School.
Yearbooks are here!
100 pages, & over 1000 pictures.
Please pick up your pre-ordered
2010-2011 Kohian,
(Kohler High School Annual),

There are a few extra copies available for $50.

Ongoing fundraisers at Kohler Schools!
It isn’t often that someone gives you money for something you’re going to throw away, but that’s exactly
what these programs do. Each label or cap may seem small, but together they add up to hundreds of dollars
each year, which helps KSF PTO fund many great activities for the children of Kohler Schools.
Elementary students can turn in these items at any time to their classroom collection box. We’re having a
collection contest again this year – the top 2 classes with the most points at the end of the year will receive
an ice cream party (each box top/label/cap = 1 point).
If you don’t have an elementary student but would like to support our school, please give your items to an
elementary student or teacher (they’ll be happy to take them off your hands!)
VERY IMPORTANT! Please cut along the dashed line and save the coupon only
as shown below. The companies do not accept the entire label or package.
Box Tops for Education coupons can be found on General Mills cereals, Pillsbury Refrigerated and
Frozen/Dairy, Hamburger Helper, Betty Crocker Snacks and Baking, Ziplock Bags/Containers, Kleenex and
many more products.
Each coupon is worth 10 cents!
Labels for Education coupons can be found on Campbell’s soup, Swanson Soup, Franco American products,
Prego Sauce, Pepperidge Farms products, and V8 drink lids. Each label earns points for free merchandise.
Tyson Project A+ coupons can be found on Tyson Chicken products. Each label is worth 24 cents!
Kemp’s Nickels for Schools caps on gallon and half gallon
milk containers. Each cap is worth 5 cents.

Star's Nature’s Touch, and Kwik Quencher
products (worth 5¢ each) or Glazers Dozen

PNF stretching (or proprioceptive
muscular facilitation) is one of the
most effective forms of flexibility
training for increasing range of mo‐
tion. It was originally developed as a
form of rehabilitation, so it is very ef‐
fective. It is also excellent for target‐
ing specific muscle groups, and as
well as increasing flexibility, it also
improves muscular strength. Join
personal trainers Sadhna Murthy and
Christine Hicks as they introduce
stretching that can drastically help
improve your flexibility, decrease the
physical pain as well as risk for cer‐
tain injuries.

and sorbet in 14 delicious fla-
vors. Additionally, delicious
new petit fours and mini cup-
cakes are available for pur-
chase. Choose between a
variety of flavors: Dominos

punch, white chocolate banana
rum & vanilla ganache), Cin-
namon opera torte (almond
sponge cake, cognac punch,
cinnamon chocolate ganache,
cinnamon buttercream), Pep-
permint chocolate torte
(chocolate almond sponge cake,
peppermint chocolate ganache,
crème de menthe punch),
Mango coconut almond
tranche (almond sponge cake,

Also launching in October at
the Craverie Chocolatier Café is

such as: Rosemary Caramel,

The new menu also includes
signature soups from Kohler
restaurants, expanded breakfast
items, new sandwiches, salads
and smoothies.
You’re welcome to pop in
for coffee and a bite of choco-
late or an afternoon cheese
plate and chocolate fondue. The
Craverie experience goes be-
yond the bill of fare as well.
Book a wine and chocolate
pairing or demonstration from
our talented Chocolatier. From
birthdays and showers, to a spe-
cial date or girls’ night out,
Craverie would also be de-
lighted to host your next memo-
rable event. And don’t forget to
