SUMMARY:🛍 Shop Small Support Local
DESCRIPTION:We are working on creating a new and improved Rural Northeast Wisconsin Families Restaurant Guide!  Let us help make the mealtime decisions easier. \n\n\n\nAs a hockey family\, knowing who is open after games and practices\, that serves something for my entire family is a MUST-HAVE!  (so any restaurants within a 90-minute drive of Shawano is ideal) \n\n\n\nWe know a lot of people love to support their local businesses\, but may not know all the services that are provided. We’re working on closing that gap by offering a business directory. If you’re interested in becoming part of our business directory\, you can find out more here  We are also rolling out a Farm Fresh Directory.  \n\n\n\nWe have many affiliate partners where purchases you make with them\, will also help our small business.  (The following links are affiliate links and we may earn a commission on qualifying purchases at no additional cost to you.) \n\n\n\n\nPlant Therapy \n\n\n\nAmazon\n\n\n\nThink Board – use Code MarieVandenberg to save 20% off site-wide\n\n\n\nLehman’s\n\n\n\nTry The World –\n\n\n\nReally Good Stuff\n\n\n\nChess. com – my teenager recently discovered a love of chess.\n\n\n\nHockey Monkey\n\n\n\nSteve Spangler Science – Save up to 60% off with our Clearance Sale \n\n\n\nNaturally Nestled\n\n\n\nmSpy – what are your kids doing on their phone/tablet that you can’t see?\n\n\n\nMud/Wtr – Save 20% sitewide with this link (first order only) (My Dr suggested trying this when I suffer consequences from drinking too much coffee. I use both the Mud/Wtr latte and Rest to help at bedtime when I can’t shut my brain off)\n\n\n\nZenni Optical – save $30 when you use my discount link. I’ve been ordering glasses from Zenni for over 15 years.  To order from Zenni\, you will need the PD number (pupillary distance).  For adults\, the number shouldn’t change.  It will change for kids.  Zenni accepts 1 and 2 number PDs.  \n\n\n\n\nPurchases made through the above links allow us to earn commissions when you use our links which we will put towards our business expenses\, keep our lights on\, and keep our content FREE for YOU- our readers and LOW for our local advertisers\, and sponsors. \n\n\n\nWe are hosting one fundraiser.  This is an on-going fundraiser.    \n\n\n\n\nMabel’s Labels – (Select Rural Northeast Wisconsin Families as the organization) – NO MORE Lost Mittens (coats\, shoes\, hats\, water bottles\, jackets\, etc) Follow our Facebook Page– there are often sales and discounts.\n\n\n\n\nThe funds earned through the fundraisers will be split.  Our portion will be used towards website/calendar upgrades\, community events\, giveaways\, and business expenses. \n\n\n\nWe will choose a new beneficiary for each distribution check.  We’ll take suggestions for our first check.  (We still have $50 to go before we’ll get our first check) \n\n\n\nIf you’d like to donate directly to our fundraisers instead of purchasing from our partners.  We can accept cash\, Square\, or Venmo. \n\n\n\nOne of the fundraisers is set up as an open-ended so we’ll be able to help several organizations for as long as there is interest in the products. \n\n\n\nThese are a few of my favorite products.  This is my “toolkit” for the Flu Season.  It also has some hints about getting started with essential oils. \n\n\n\nIf you are looking for the fundraising socks that we had available\, we do still have them\, but you’ll need to make an appointment. \n\n\n\nThese are a few other ways to support us.  Prices range from Free to $30. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLinks: Charger Cord Charger with Flashlight  without Flashlight  Slim Charger Keychain Flashlight Desk Accessory Clock\n\n\n\nICYMI– My dog locked himself in my car.  PD’s tools didn’t work for my car.  I bought this amazing tool the next day.   At under $6\, you really can’t beat it.  Definitely cheaper than a locksmith or a broken window.

SUMMARY:Sturgeon Updates 🐟
DESCRIPTION:Lake sturgeon from the Winnebago System are getting ready to make their spawning run up the Wolf River to the Shawano Dam. Some sturgeon have also been seen staging on the Peshtigo River\, waiting for the right conditions to spawn. \n\n\n\nLake sturgeon usually spawn when water temperatures reach about 53 degrees Fahrenheit. However\, when water levels are low (like this year)\, they might not start spawning until water temperatures are closer to 60 degrees. The current water temperatures in the system are hovering around 50 degrees Fahrenheit. \n\n\n\nOnce the lake sturgeon begin making their spawning run up the Wolf River\, there are several locations where they can be seen up close\, including:  \n\n\n\n\nWolf River Sturgeon Trail (near New London) \n\n\n\nHwy 156 (near the Navarino State Wildlife Area)\n\n\n\nBamboo Bend at Shiocton \n\n\n\nShawano Dam in Shawano \n\n\n\n\nIf you do head out during the spawn\, don’t forget to grab a pair of polarized sunglasses. These will help reduce the glare from the water and allow you to get a better look at the lake sturgeon. \n\n\n\nCan’t make it out to see them in person? Check out these underwater camera feeds from Bamboo Bend in Shiocton and the Shawano Dam.  \n\n\n\nIn a few weeks\, you may also see lake sturgeon spawning on the lower Fox River in De Pere\, the lower Peshtigo River in Peshtigo and the Chippewa River. \n\n\n\nDaily spawning updates will also be posted to the DNR’s Lake Sturgeon Spawning webpage throughout the spawning season. \n\n\n\nYou can also follow Wolf River Cam for updates.

DESCRIPTION:There was a question a while back regarding open-enrollment. \n\n\n\nAccording to the WI DPI\, these are the only acceptable reasons a resident district can deny an open-enrollment request. \n\n\n\nPlease note that it does not say “too many students have applied to out-of-district schools”. It also doesn’t allow attendance records at the resident school to determine open-enrollment status to an out-of-district school. \n\n\n\nThis is just for Open Enrollment\, this does not include the School Voucher Programs. \n\n\n\nDeadline for Open Enrollment (public school) is April 30th \n\n\n\nDeadline for School Choice (private school) is April 17th. \n\n\n\nI also found out that there is a non-profit organization advocating for Virtual and Open-enrollment students. It’s called Parents for School Options. https://www.parentsforschooloptions.org/ \n\n\n\nOpen Enrollment: https://sms.dpi.wi.gov/OEParent/faqs.aspx \n\n\n\nInfo for the Wisconsin School Choice program can be found here: https://schoolchoicewi.org/school-choice-faqs/ \n\n\n\nInfo

SUMMARY:Sturgeon Updates 🐟
DESCRIPTION:Lake sturgeon from the Winnebago System are getting ready to make their spawning run up the Wolf River to the Shawano Dam. Some sturgeon have also been seen staging on the Peshtigo River\, waiting for the right conditions to spawn. \n\n\n\nLake sturgeon usually spawn when water temperatures reach about 53 degrees Fahrenheit. However\, when water levels are low (like this year)\, they might not start spawning until water temperatures are closer to 60 degrees. The current water temperatures in the system are hovering around 50 degrees Fahrenheit. \n\n\n\nOnce the lake sturgeon begin making their spawning run up the Wolf River\, there are several locations where they can be seen up close\, including:  \n\n\n\n\nWolf River Sturgeon Trail (near New London) \n\n\n\nHwy 156 (near the Navarino State Wildlife Area)\n\n\n\nBamboo Bend at Shiocton \n\n\n\nShawano Dam in Shawano \n\n\n\n\nIf you do head out during the spawn\, don’t forget to grab a pair of polarized sunglasses. These will help reduce the glare from the water and allow you to get a better look at the lake sturgeon. \n\n\n\nCan’t make it out to see them in person? Check out these underwater camera feeds from Bamboo Bend in Shiocton and the Shawano Dam.  \n\n\n\nIn a few weeks\, you may also see lake sturgeon spawning on the lower Fox River in De Pere\, the lower Peshtigo River in Peshtigo and the Chippewa River. \n\n\n\nDaily spawning updates will also be posted to the DNR’s Lake Sturgeon Spawning webpage throughout the spawning season. \n\n\n\nYou can also follow Wolf River Cam for updates.

SUMMARY:🛍 Shop Small Support Local
DESCRIPTION:We are working on creating a new and improved Rural Northeast Wisconsin Families Restaurant Guide!  Let us help make the mealtime decisions easier. \n\n\n\nAs a hockey family\, knowing who is open after games and practices\, that serves something for my entire family is a MUST-HAVE!  (so any restaurants within a 90-minute drive of Shawano is ideal) \n\n\n\nWe know a lot of people love to support their local businesses\, but may not know all the services that are provided. We’re working on closing that gap by offering a business directory. If you’re interested in becoming part of our business directory\, you can find out more here  We are also rolling out a Farm Fresh Directory.  \n\n\n\nWe have many affiliate partners where purchases you make with them\, will also help our small business.  (The following links are affiliate links and we may earn a commission on qualifying purchases at no additional cost to you.) \n\n\n\n\nPlant Therapy \n\n\n\nAmazon\n\n\n\nThink Board – use Code MarieVandenberg to save 20% off site-wide\n\n\n\nLehman’s\n\n\n\nTry The World –\n\n\n\nReally Good Stuff\n\n\n\nChess. com – my teenager recently discovered a love of chess.\n\n\n\nHockey Monkey\n\n\n\nSteve Spangler Science – Save up to 60% off with our Clearance Sale \n\n\n\nNaturally Nestled\n\n\n\nmSpy – what are your kids doing on their phone/tablet that you can’t see?\n\n\n\nMud/Wtr – Save 20% sitewide with this link (first order only) (My Dr suggested trying this when I suffer consequences from drinking too much coffee. I use both the Mud/Wtr latte and Rest to help at bedtime when I can’t shut my brain off)\n\n\n\nZenni Optical – save $30 when you use my discount link. I’ve been ordering glasses from Zenni for over 15 years.  To order from Zenni\, you will need the PD number (pupillary distance).  For adults\, the number shouldn’t change.  It will change for kids.  Zenni accepts 1 and 2 number PDs.  \n\n\n\n\nPurchases made through the above links allow us to earn commissions when you use our links which we will put towards our business expenses\, keep our lights on\, and keep our content FREE for YOU- our readers and LOW for our local advertisers\, and sponsors. \n\n\n\nWe are hosting one fundraiser.  This is an on-going fundraiser.    \n\n\n\n\nMabel’s Labels – (Select Rural Northeast Wisconsin Families as the organization) – NO MORE Lost Mittens (coats\, shoes\, hats\, water bottles\, jackets\, etc) Follow our Facebook Page– there are often sales and discounts.\n\n\n\n\nThe funds earned through the fundraisers will be split.  Our portion will be used towards website/calendar upgrades\, community events\, giveaways\, and business expenses. \n\n\n\nWe will choose a new beneficiary for each distribution check.  We’ll take suggestions for our first check.  (We still have $50 to go before we’ll get our first check) \n\n\n\nIf you’d like to donate directly to our fundraisers instead of purchasing from our partners.  We can accept cash\, Square\, or Venmo. \n\n\n\nOne of the fundraisers is set up as an open-ended so we’ll be able to help several organizations for as long as there is interest in the products. \n\n\n\nThese are a few of my favorite products.  This is my “toolkit” for the Flu Season.  It also has some hints about getting started with essential oils. \n\n\n\nIf you are looking for the fundraising socks that we had available\, we do still have them\, but you’ll need to make an appointment. \n\n\n\nThese are a few other ways to support us.  Prices range from Free to $30. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLinks: Charger Cord Charger with Flashlight  without Flashlight  Slim Charger Keychain Flashlight Desk Accessory Clock\n\n\n\nICYMI– My dog locked himself in my car.  PD’s tools didn’t work for my car.  I bought this amazing tool the next day.   At under $6\, you really can’t beat it.  Definitely cheaper than a locksmith or a broken window.
