FROM YOUR SCHOOL BOARD
Referendum Update The Board of Education unanimously approved a resolution on an operational referendum for the April 3, 2018 spring election ballot. This referendum differs from the April, 2017 referendum, in large part, because of the duration. The Board listened to the community through surveys and the Community Task Force Committee. The feedback was clear that the recurring nature of the April, 2017 referendum was not acceptable. The 5 year duration on the current referendum allows the district to address the immediate needs of class size, compensation, and facilities maintenance. As the Board works to address its financial challenges, we are committed to providing as much information as possible. For more information about the referendum, please visit www.hssd.k12.wi.us/referendum. If you have any questions for the Board of Education, please reach out to your board member listed in this article. |

The Bay Port STINGCANCER club presents its 8th annual Carnival for a Cure on Friday, February 9. Join us in the Bay Port commons/union from 5-7pm for carnival games, bounce house, mini golf, henna, face painting, Nerf war, raffle, bake sale, cotton candy, petting zoo and more. Then stay for more fun during the varsity basketball game at 7:00 when your Pirates take on the Preble Hornets. This year’s boys team is ranked 5th in the state!! Let’s cheer them on to another victory! Please click here for more information.
This year’s event is especially dear to our hearts because we are supporting one of our own. A Bay Port junior and STINGCANCER member named Delaney has been fighting Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma (EHE), a rare form of vascular cancer since 2014. Due to the rarity of EHE, there is currently not a cure or even a set treatment, as well as little to no funding done for research. Most funds are raised directly by the families affected. Because of this, Delaney and her parents started a non-profit, The EHE Foundation, in 2015 to try to raise money for EHE research. Proceeds from this year’s event will go directly to that foundation to help Laney find a cure.
To help raise funds we have a very special shirt this year, made in the EHE awareness colors of red and yellow that GLOWS IN THE DARK! We have sizes youth small-3XL and I am now taking preorders. They will be available through the event, but sizes are only guaranteed for preorders. They are $15 each for most sizes (2XL is $17 and 3XL is $19). They even come with a coupon for a free cotton candy or game of mini golf at the carnival. It’s a win-win!! Please email Stacy Baynes at [email protected] if you would like to order a t-shirt.
You don’t want to miss this affordable family fun night that also helps a great cause! We want to make this one bigger than ever, so please spread the word and bring your friends and family.
We thank you for your continued support! Remember – together we can STINGCANCER!!!

Prevent and Protect Against Seasonal Influenza (the Flu): Stay Home When Sick!
Brown County, WI. Brown County Public Health, De Pere Health Department, and Oneida Nation Community Health are reminding people that they can take steps now to stop the spread of influenza, and one of the biggest steps they can take is Stay Home When Sick! Influenza activity has been increasing. So far influenza A (H3N2) viruses have been the most common flu viruses circulating this season. H3N2 predominant flu seasons have been associated with more severe illness, especially among children and adults age 65 and older.
Symptoms of influenza are similar to cold symptoms, but come on more swiftly and are more pronounced. Symptoms can include cough, sore throat, muscle aches, headache, chills, feelings of extreme tiredness, and fever. It should be noted that not everyone with the flu will experience fever.
Other effective ways to avoid getting or spreading the flu include:
• Get a flu shot. It is not too late to get a flu shot this season.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water, or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
• Cover your cough or sneeze with your upper sleeve, and try to avoid touching your face with your hand. If you use a tissue, throw it away after one use.
• Never share drinking cups, straws, or utensils.
• Frequently clean commonly touched surfaces such as doorknobs, refrigerator handles, phones, and faucets.
• When possible, avoid being exposed to people who are sick with flu-like symptoms.
• Eat nutritious meals, get plenty of rest, and do not smoke.
If you have been exposed to someone with influenza, or who are experiencing symptoms of influenza, consult with your health care provider immediately to determine if antiviral drugs may be helpful. Treatment with antiviral medications can sometimes lessen the effects of influenza, if treatment is started within 48 hours of the onset of symptoms. Antibiotics are not effective against influenza.
