Kohler teacher contractnegotiations imminentSubmitted by Robert Kobylski, ED.D Su-perintendent
The current economic climate will play
a significant role in teacher contract ne-
gotiations, which are due to start this
school year. According to board President
Dr. Jane Bishop, when the Kohler Public
Schools Board of Education met on Sep-
tember 22, the teachers’ contract was the
main topic discussed.
The current Kohler Education Associ-
ation teacher contract expired on June 30,
2009 and Dr. Bishop said negotiations
could take much of the school year. “It’s
a process,” she said, “that is important for
the benefit of teachers and the commu-
nity.” Negotiations were put on hold last
spring pending the outcome of the State
budgetary problems and the potential
dilatory effects on school district finances.
This year’s negotiations come in the
face of a serious economic recession.
With money tight for residents as well as
schools and municipalities, Dr. Bishop
expects residents to pay close attention to
what is agreed upon in a new contract.
“I think everybody realizes these are
very difficult times,” Bishop said.
Board Treasurer and Finance Commit-
tee Chairperson John Suralik said the re-
cession will be a major factor when
school board and Kohler Education Asso-
ciation representatives sit down again
next month to discuss the contract.
“I think we’re all hoping things go
smoothly,” Suralik said. “I think if we can
stay focused on what’s best for the kids,
then I don’t believe we’ll have any major
problems.” Mr. Suralik believes that
salaries and health care benefits will be
the most discussed topics in the coming
months.
As with most organizations, public and
private, “Health insurance especially is
still one of those big, key issues,” Suralik
said.
Given the rising unemployment rates
in the area, and the current pressures on
household budgets, Bishop said she has
been carefully watching contract negoti-
ations in other districts, notably Elkhart
Lake and Plymouth.
“These are hard times and it’s impor-
tant to see how other districts around us
are handling it,” Dr. Bishop said. She
added, “The Board is earnestly trying to
work with the school’s teachers, adminis-
trators, parents and students in an effort to
provide the highest quality education for
our children, and as stewards of our tax-
payer’s dollars, we will move forward
with the fiscal prudence required to oper-
ate the schools during these times of very
tight budgets.”
As a group, the Kohler School Dis-
trict’s Board of Education wishes to hear
from you on this topic. Please contact any
of them with your comments or questions.
Also, the Board encourages all resident
stakeholders to attend the District’s An-
nual Meeting on October 27, 2009 at 7:00
p.m. in the Public Library. At this meet-
ing, a significant portion of the Superin-
tendent’s State of the District address will
focus on the School’s current financial po-
sition, as well as future revenue and ex-
penditure trends.
Community input sought forEbben Field Master Plan updateBy Lee Benish, Kohler Athletic Directorand Steering Committee Member
The Ebben Field Master Plan Steering
Committee has met over the summer and
we have reviewed several conceptual
proposals for the School, Village, Kohler
Co. and residents to consider. We have
posted the conceptual designs in the Vil-
lage Hall for all residents to preview, [or
view them online at kohlervillager.com].
The Steering Committee looks forward
to hearing from you about these concep-
tual drawings. Please feel free to forward
your thoughts to Village Board members,
the School Board, and the Steering Com-
mittee members listed at the end of this
article.
To date, Ebben Field has had up-
graded drainage and the expansion of the
existing track from 6 lanes to 8 lanes.
The track has an asphalt “binder” surface
at present. During the summer of 2010
the final rubberized running surface will
be added on top of the current asphalt
track. We reset the football scoreboard
and rerouted electrical power this sum-
mer and worked on getting our current
lights repaired for this football season
with the plan being to replace the current
lights and scoreboard in a year or two.
We will add new “home” bleachers and
replace the press box in the near future
as the master plan for Ebben Field is fi-
nalized.
The Ebben field Master Plan is a work
in progress as we are looking to you to
provide valuable input. Some topics we
have discussed have centered on the
growth of soccer and that program’s
need for greater green space while keep-
ing in mind the need to work with the
Village on the youth baseball space
needs. As you may be aware, the Village
youth baseball program has teams play-
ing and practicing on Ebben Field and
Lost Woods diamonds. We are aware of
the need to keep and maintain a close co-
operative relationship between the
school and the village as we develop the
master plan for Ebben Field.
To provide input into the planning
process, view the plans at the Village
Hall or kohlervillager.com, then feel free

Greetings,
On September 13, many children and
parents participated in the exciting Vil-
lage Park Krawl. This family oriented
event was a huge recreational success. It
helped that Mother Nature blessed us
with a ‘perfect weather’ day. Plans are al-
ready in the making for the Village Park
Krawl in 2010!! Special thanks to Valerie
Wandschneider and Susie Wandschneider
for making this event a reality.
One of the Village Park Krawl stops
was the Lost Woods Park…a last oppor-
tunity to see the Old Pump House. The
demolition of this age-old structure began
on Thursday, September 17th. We are on
schedule to have this exciting new facility
completed before the new year. Hamann
Construction Company from Manitowoc,
the low bidder, was awarded the contract
and began work within 48 hours after the
contract was approved by the Kohler Vil-
lage Board. This is the end/beginning of
a long process, begun by Oscar Ward and
Thomas Leonhardt for a more functional
parks’ facility, and brought to fruition dur-
ing my brief tenure as your Board Presi-
dent.
Many of you are probably aware of the
changes taking place at Ebben Field.
Through a generous donation from the
Kohler Co., the school track has been re-
stored and is ready for the 2009-10 sea-
son. However, there are more plans for
the updating of this facility which has
been deteriorating for years. At the Sep-
tember Village Board Meeting, represen-
tatives of the Ebben Field Renovation
Committee presented various options for
the future plans to continue with the up-
dating of Ebben Field. These plans are
available for your review in the Board
Room at the Village Hall (or online at
kohlervillager.com). The School District,
Kohler Village Board, and Kohler Co.
want to work with the Kohler School Dis-
trict community for the continued reno-
vation of Ebben Field. Your input is
crucially important for this to happen.
Please take the time to review the various
plans and provide your feedback to
School Board members, Village Board
members, or a member of the Ebben Field
Renovation Committee. Strategically, the
long term vision is that the Ebben Field
area and the Woodlake Shops area would
be an integral part of the Kohler Village
Center.
Another topic of interest for all of us is
that of health care. The Village Board, as
an employer, struggles with this issue
every year. The Board is bound by con-
tract to provide our union personnel com-
parable coverage for the duration of their
current contract. Historically, with only
one year policies being available, we have
seen double digit premium increases. To
contain this increase, the Village Board
has purchased a higher deductible policy
for the coming year, “banking” the sav-
ings, in addition to the increase we would
have paid for our previous policy. With
the money ‘banked’, the employees will
be made ‘whole’ to their previous plan.
Based on historical usage data the village
anticipates a significant savings in our
health care costs while providing the
same level of coverage.
Finally, the Village Board is in the
process of developing its budget for 2010.
In my next letter to you, I will be able to
give more details on the proposed budget.
I still remain confident that a flat mil rate
for 2010 is achievable.
Until next time……
Steve Reinbacher
Village President

Volunteers spruceup landscapingaround school
A group of volunteers organized by
Laura Drew of Kohler have been busy this
summer improving neglected landscaping
around the school building. Weeds were
pulled, shrubs were extensively pruned and
transplanted to a more protected environ-
ment, (larger shrubs were damaged beyond
repair by snow and ice), ground cover was
trimmed and moved and new grasses were
added. Flowers were trimmed and some
were halved, re-planted, thinned and cut
back for better growth in the Spring. Volun-
teers and Village employees helped keep the
new plantings watered with the school’s
hoses and sprinklers. The Village also pro-
vided topsoil, a truck to remove piles of de-
bris, and an invaluable wheelbarrow that
facilitated moving water, soil, and weeds.
Hoses and sprinklers donated by a gardener
and hooked up to the school’s water supply
helped keep the new ground cover wet until
it could take root.
The volunteers also prepared an area be-
hind the gymnasium that will make way for
plans in the spring to plant an English Gar-
den. Residents will be invited to take own-
ership in the garden by donating a small
perennial from their own gardens. Morraine
Gardens provided its expertise as well.
The budget for the project is small, but
Ms. Drew said monetary donations would
be wonderful, and volunteers are always
welcome. Plans are in the works for devel-
opment of a committee that will oversee and
care for the grounds in the future to help
maintain the Village of Kohler’s “Garden
Community” image.

Troop 831 Canoes theBoundary WatersBy: Greg Suralk
Ten members of Kohler Boy Scout Troop
831 and six parents traveled to the Boundary
Waters Canoe Area in northern Minnesota
as part of the troop’s annual High Adventure
trip in July.
For five days the troop canoed through a
wilderness stopping to hike, fish, and even
take part in whitewater tubing. When the ca-
noeing was finished they also visited the
Soudan Underground Mining Park to ex-
plore an old iron ore mine used in World
War II.
Many challenges faced the group while
canoeing. When there was no river connect-
ing to another lake, each of the two groups
had to paddle to shore and hike to the next
waterway while portaging all their gear on
their backs. The gear consisted of: four alu-
minum canoes, each weighing around 60
pounds; a food pack that contained al the
group’s food for the trip; a tent pack; supply
pack, containing the essential equipment for
cooking and medical care; and each person’s
own personal gear bag.
All of this had to be carried along a trail
that could be as long as one kilometer. The
trails went up and down hills, crossed mud
patches, and went through thick plants and
grass. Each member of a team would walk
back about three times to the beginning to
carry a new load to the next lake.
Another major challenge occurred when
a canoe would get stuck in shallow water or
rocks. The two people inside would then
have to get out of their canoe and into the
water to push the canoe to a deeper part of
the river.
While canoeing through a river or lake,
team members would come across the
wildlife that inhabits Boundary Waters;
beavers chewing on logs and building dams,
a moose swimming in a lake, a bald eagle
circling overhead scanning the water for
fish. The natural inhabitants were extremely
diverse and amazing to watch. The natural
beauty of the wilderness was breathtaking.
When it was time to leave Boundary Wa-
ters, everyone was proud of what they had
accomplished and delighted with the great
stories they could share. The whole group
was pleased with how the trip went, as the
weather had been mostly clear and sunny.
In total the troop canoed through six
lakes and three major rivers. Everyone had
an excellent time.

Local American Family Insurance Agent SUE BREITBACH FENN earnsDistinguished Insurance Agency distinction from J.D. Power and AssociatesMadison, Wis. (Date) – SUE BREITBACHFENN, an American Family Insurance agentin Sheboygan, WI, has been recognized forcustomer satisfaction excellence under theJ.D. Power and Associates Distinguished In-surance Agency Program.SM BreitbachFenn joins other American Family agentswho have demonstrated the highest level ofcommitment to outstanding customer serv-ice.
Sue has been an agent for American Fam-ily since January 1994. HER office is lo-
cated at 3626 Erie Ave, Sheboygan, WI (oneblock past Kohl’s).
“This is our fifth year of applying theDistinguished Insurance Agency criteria toour agents,” said Jack Salzwedel, AmericanFamily president and chief operating officer.“With each passing calendar quarter, Amer-ican Family has witnessed an improvementin customer service. Our agents are stronglyattuned to the needs of our customers andhow best to meet those needs.”
The service excellence distinction was
determined through a two-part evaluationprocess conducted by J.D. Power and Asso-ciates. The first part consists of a customersatisfaction survey, which measures cus-tomers’ overall experience with their currentAmerican Family agent. In order to proceedto the second step, agents must meet or ex-ceed the standards measured on a nationalbenchmark established by J.D. Power andAssociates’ annual auto and home insurancecustomer satisfaction studies. Only agenciesthat perform in the top 20 percent of all
agencies nationwide based on customer sat-
isfaction surveys are eligible to become a
Distinguished Insurance Agency.
Agents who meet or surpass the overall
national average must then pass a rigorous
on-site evaluation based on five best practice
areas: proactive reviews of customer insur-
ance needs, claims handling, positive cus-
tomer contacts, responsiveness and office
environment.

continue in the competition for some
8,200 National Merit Scholarships,
worth more than $36 million, that
will be offered next spring.
More that 1.5 million juniors in
over 21, 000 high schools entered the
2009 National Merit Program by tak-
ing the 2008 Preliminary SAT/Na-
tional Merit Scholarship Qualifying
Test (PSAT/NMSQT), which served
as an initial screen of program en-
trants. The national wide pool of
Semifinalists, which represents less
than one percent of U.S. high school
seniors, includes the highest scoring
entrants in each state. The number
of Semifinalists in a state is propor-
tional to the state’s percentage of the
national total of graduating seniors.
To become a Finalist, a Semifinal-
ist must have an outstanding aca-
demic record throughout high
school, be endorsed and recom-
mended by the high school principal,
and earn SAT scores that confirm the
student’s earlier performance on the
qualifying test. The Semifinalist and
an high school official must submit
a detailed scholarship application,
which includes the student’s self-de-
scriptive essay and information
about the Semifinalist’s participation
and leadership in school and commu-
nity activities.
Approximately 15, 000 Semifi-
nalists are expected to advance to the
Finalist level and it is from this group
that all National Merit Scholarship
winners will be chosen. Merit
Scholar designees are selected on the
basis of their skills, accomplish-
ments, and potential for success in
rigorous college studies, without re-
gard to gender, race, ethnic origin, or
religious preference.
Congratulations Stanley and Jor-
dan on this outstanding achievement
and best of luck in the competition
ahead.

What a dream!KHS Students Present Shakespeare With a Twist
Kohler High students are hard at work ona brand new production of a timeless tale.From November 13th through 15th, WilliamShakespeare’s comedy A MIDSUMMERNIGHT’S DREAM will come alive on thestage of Kohler Memorial Theatre.
“There’s something for everyone in thisshow,” says director Peggy Hoffmann. “Forthose who love Shakespeare, we have hiswonderful words. We’ve added music tocomplement the play and have included fa-vorite songs by The Monkees, The Mamasand the Papas, Blondie, Supertramp andmany more. For the kids we have dancingfairies and a very naughty sprite. And thenthere’s lots of romance and silliness. This isa show for the entire family.”
Students have been hard at work all sum-mer painting backdrops and creating a mag-ical world for the stage. “We took a differentapproach this year and didn’t recruit a tradi-tional crew. Our actors worked on all thesets and scenery,” says Hoffmann. “Wehave a beautiful new backdrop for the firstand last act, designed and painted by OliviaMacDonald.” Besides doubling as scenerycrew, some of the actors will play their partson stage and then move over to the band-stand to lend their musical talents to the ac-companiments. “I think the audience willget a chance to see how multi-talented thisgroup of students is,” adds Hoffmann.
Nearly forty students will be involved inthe production, including an onstage rockband that will accompany the singers, di-rected by seniors Jordan Kusel and DominicGischia. The cast is led by Danielle Dyk-sterhouse and Brenna Hogan as Helena andHermia. Patrick Stillwell and Markus An-derson play their suitors, Demetrius andLysander. The fairy kingdom will be ruledby Kira Gutschow as Titania and Stas Kay-men as Oberon. Melyssa Louwagie playsthe naughty Puck and Greg Suralik lends histalents to the role of Nick Bottom, thewannabe actor turned donkey.
Lauren Drury plays Hippolyta and Con-nor Hogan takes on the role of Theseus. Theacting troupe includes Holly Zehfus, AustinVan Treeck, Cole Brock, Jordan Kusel, SamSchmitt, and Danielle Neese. And the fairiesare brought to life by Olivia MacDonald,Rachel O’Keefe, Shelby Homiston, KatieAnderson, Brittany Benson, Michelle DavilaCamargo, Jessie Dyksterhouse, CaseyGutschow, Elly Gutschow, Madeline Kelly,Kristina Kusel, Sarah Leick, Alex Mauer,Julia Mauer, Molly Misfeldt, SarahMolepske, Malin Ottander, Lea Springer andSydney Yang. Olivia MacDonald and SarahMolepske also double in the roles of Egeaand Philostra. Carlo Gischia will serve asstage manager.
Tickets for the show will be available in
Art Imig’s Clothiers will be celebrating
100 years in business during the month of
October. The store has two locations: 723
New York Avenue in Sheboygan, and at The
Shops at Woodlake in Kohler.
The company’s president, Art Imig, along
with his brother, Bob, who serves as vice
president, are the third generation of family
members to own and operate the store. The
brothers’ grandfather, Arthur E. Imig,
founded the store in May, 1909 on North
Eighth Street in Sheboygan, but the com-
pany’s roots reach back to 1850, when
Michael Imig emigrated from Germany to
Sheboygan where he opened a tailor shop.
After his death, Michael’s sons, Charles and
Henry, ran the tailor shop until Charles and
his eldest son, Victor, moved the store to
Eighth Street and Wisconsin Avenue in She-
boygan, where the store became known as
C. Imig and Sons and employed 23 tailors.
The original founder, Arthur E. Imig,
died in 1977 at the age of 100. His son,
Robert A. Imig (father of the brothers),
began working at the store in 1935 and
served as an honorary chairman of the board
until his death in 2002 at the age of 90.
Art and Bob Imig both graduated from
Sheboygan North High School; Art in 1961
and Bob in 1968. Art joined the company in
1965 after studying the dry-cleaning busi-
ness. His work toward implementing state-

fied four-star environmental dry cleaner
business by the Wisconsin Fabricare Insti-
tute. Ventless systems keep solvents from
escaping into the atmosphere, and special
safeguards are in place to prevent ground
contamination in the event of a solvent spill.
Bob Imig attended Drake University and
joined the family business in 1975 after
working at other companies in the Min-
neapolis area.
Art Imig’s second location in Kohler was
opened 1987, where it also provides
drycleaning and fitting services. The broth-
ers credit their long history of thriving in the
Sheboygan area with personal service, up-
to-date, quality merchandise, and attractive
store displays.

Former Blue Bomberscoach inducted intoCoaches Hall of Fame
Former Blue Bombers basketball coach
Bruce Erickson will be inducted into the
Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Hall of Fame
on October 3, 2009 in special ceremonies in
Madison. Bruce was a teacher and school
counselor at Kohler schools for 24 years. He
coached high school basketball for 21 years
and led his teams to more than 300 wins dur-
ing that time.
Erickson began his career in education at
Gilmanton, WI where he served as JV bas-
ketball and baseball coach. After a two-year
stint in the Army Infantry, he coached var-
sity basketball for one year at Chippewa
Falls McDonell. Beginning in 1957, he
served as baseball and basketball coach for
nine years at Juneau High School in Juneau,
Wisconsin. His basketball teams at Juneau
competed in the tough Madison Suburban
Conference. His record at Juneau was 143
wins and 49 losses. His 1964-65 team had a
record of 19-2 and made it to the Watertown
sectional tournament.
In 1966, Erickson moved on to Kohler
High School. After serving as JV basketball
coach for one year, he took over the varsity
program. Kohler High School had an enroll-
ment of less than 200 students at the time,
but competed in the Eastern Wisconsin Con-
ference which included many schools with
much larger enrollments. In Erickson’s first
season, Kohler placed second in that confer-
ence, and by his second season they became
conference champs. His 1967-68 team aver-
aged 91 points a game for the season. Kohler
then entered the newly formed Lakeshore
Conference winning five conference cham-
pionships in seven consecutive years.
Kohler typically ended the tournament sea-
son with losses to Sheboygan or Manitowoc
high schools. In 1972, when Wisconsin
adopted the class “A” and “B” system, the
Kohler basketball team was one of four
Class B high-schools to advance to State
Championships. Coach Erickson had the
privilege of coaching in the first game
played under the new format. Kohler lost to
the eventual champion Bloomington, but
Coach Erickson brought his Kohler team
back to Madison in 1976 and earned a sec-
ond place finish. He retired from coaching
at the end of that year with a final Kohler
record of 158 wins and 38 losses.
From 1961 through 1976 Erickson
coached his various teams through 15
straight winning seasons. His teams were
noted for their high scoring offenses, pres-
sure defenses and excellent fast break bas-
ketball. In 1976 one of Erickson’s Kohler
players, Jeff Wolf, was highly recruited na-
tionally and finally chose North Carolina
where he played for four years. His brother,
Joe, also attended North Carolina and had a
successful NBA career. As an interesting
side note to Erickson’s high school coaching
career, three of his former players coached
high school teams to Wisconsin State Bas-
ketball Championships: Dan Buhr (Juneau)
Kohler 1980; Jack Capelle (Kohler) Wiscon-
sin Dells 1987; and Jeff Wolf (Kohler)
Kohler 1999.
Erickson graduated from Grand Marais,
MI High School in 1949 and from St. Nor-
bert College in 1953 with a B.S. degree. He
also received his commission in the Army at
that time. Later he received his M.S. from
UW-Madison. He was a teacher and school
counselor for 35 years retiring In 1990. He
and Mary Ann ( his wife of 54 years) have
four children and eight grandchildren.

CELEBRATION
100thSHELBURNE, VT—Emma Ziemer of She-boygan Falls, recently competed with TeamMorgan in an international saddle seat com-
petition in Winston-Salem, North Carolina,
August 17-18, 2009. Competing against a
team from South Africa and an American
Saddlebred team, the seven riders from
Team Morgan earned the gold medal and
was the overall high-point team.
Ziemer, a 15-year-old high school fresh-
man at Kohler High School, was selected in
July to be a member of the team. Team Mor-
gan is an international multi-discipline com-
petition program that promotes the breed
through international competition and pro-
vides educational experiences to Morgan

gan youth. In March, members of the previ-
ous Team Morgan traveled to Middelburg,
South Africa, to compete against the South
African Boerperd Amateur Union
(SABAU).
"The members of Team Morgan were an
amazing group of girls," said Cindy Mug-
nier, event coordinator. "They were accom-
plished horsewomen, sportsmanlike
competitors, and fabulous ambassadors for
the Morgan breed and their country."
Founded in 1909, the American Morgan
Horse Association is a non-profit organiza-
tion serving more than 50,000 Morgan horse
owners, breeders, exhibitors, and enthusiasts
throughout the United States. AMHA serves
as a parent organization to more than 90 rec-
ognized Morgan horse clubs and national
service organizations.

Kohler School NewsSuperintendent’s MessageRobert Kobylski, Ed.D.,Superintendent/High School PrincipalDear Parents and Community Members,
Once again, I am pleased to report that
our school year is off to a great start. Our
students returned from their summer break
energized about the promise of a new year,
the challenge of a new grade level, and the
opportunity to see old friends and meet new
ones. Our faculty arrived refreshed, ener-
gized and committed to the academic, social
and personal growth of all students. The
2009-2010 KSD staff is a mix of new and
veteran teachers who give of themselves be-
yond all expectations. Their desire to see
their students succeed goes a long way in
helping students become successful lifelong
learners.
Our aim this year is not just to be a good
school but a great school. Great schools dare
to care; they offer a future and a hope; teach
young people to dream and show them how
to make these dreams a reality. Great
schools believe that every single student is
talented in some way. They say to their stu-
dents: “You can be someone if you are pre-
pared to work for it.” Good schools do
things well; great schools have the buzz of
excellence. Our on-going commitment to
progressive change is what sets us apart.
There is a high level of parent and com-
munity involvement at the Kohler Public
Schools. KPS has very active parent organ-
izations whose members are dedicated to
helping provide a quality education for all
students. We encourage all parents to get in-
volved in their child’s education by helping
out at any of our many school activities. In
a recent study of factors that improve stu-
dent performance, parental involvement
had the greatest impact of all. Your
child’s success depends on your involve-
ment!
At KPS we highly value communication
with you and endeavor to make every effort
to keep effective and open communication
on-going throughout the school year. Our
Kohler Times articles, and our school web-
site, at www.kohler.k12.wi.us, includes im-
portant dates and school information. All
teachers have email and voicemail to make
it easy for you to communicate with them.
Staff email addresses are typically last
name, first initial @kohler.k12.wi.us.
Kohler Public Schools is a great place to
live and learn and I promise to do all that I
can do to ensure that every student and staff
member has a positive, productive, and
memorable year. I look forward to serving
the community of Kohler and KPS. Should
you wish to speak with me personally on
any matter, please call the school at 459-
2920 x1003.
Thank you, and have a GREAT year as
we continue the improvements you demand
from a quality school system.

OOrange on the PlaygroundSubmitted by Susan Jaberg-Elementary Principal
The orange you are seeing is not a group of early deer hunters trying to find their
way to River Wild Life. Our orange belongs to our playground supervisors. All play-
ground supervisors are wearing blaze orange so students can better identify them. The
bright colored vests will help students when they need an adult for assistance or to just
answer a question. Parents, the orange vests will also let you know that adults are super-
vising the playground when you drop your children off for school in the morning hours
or during lunch. Hopefully, you’ll find the blaze orange a sign of comfort.

Getting to knowKHS seniors
Homework once consumed the life of my husband
and me. I’ll be honest, I’m glad my daughter is grown up and
homework no longer worries me. How did we get through it?
How did we get to where we are today? Here are the steps that
worked at our home and might be of assistance to you.
Openly communicate with your child. Encourage your child
to keep a day planner listing assignments and other commit-
ments. If your 5th grader has Girl Scouts, have her note it in
her day planner. This will remind her to attend her meeting but
also remind her to complete as much homework as possible at
school because the evening ahead is busy. Compliment your
child for keeping good plans and checking off finished assign-
ments. Reinforce your child for being honest and sharing all
homework requirements with you.
Set goals with, not for, your child. Start with attainable goals
that your child will be able to achieve. Do not over schedule
your child with extracurricular activities if the homework load
is too much for him. One indicator that your child is over-
loaded is that your child goes to school with undone assign-
ments. Do not do your child’s homework for him/her. They
just need more supervision and less evening commitments.
School nights are for family and homework. Plan wisely!!!
Trust me, your child will still get into a good college and have
friends even if he/she doesn’t sign up for every extracurricular
available.
Reward achievements! Make your child aware of improve-
ments. If your expectations are high but not unreasonable, your
child will respond in kind. Reward your child with extra time
and attention from you. No need to pay your child for good
grades. Plan a favorite supper and celebrate!!! Often it’s
enough to simply say, “You did a really good job on that assign-
ment. I’m proud of you.”
Do homework first. Don’t start homework at 8:00p.m. in the
evening when your child is tired. This is a guaranteed melt
down for you or your child. Help your child breakdown large
assignments over a few evenings rather than the last moment.
Turn off the T.V. and read a book while your child does his
homework. Be a good role model.
Assist your child if help is needed. If a student cannot do the
assignment, a visit to the classroom teacher is in order. The
teacher can make recommendations to assist your child and pro-
vide extra help at school. If you do your child’s homework
now, you’ll still be doing it when they go to college. Rememberit’s not your work; you already attended school and know thisinformation. Be enthusiastic!!!
Submitted by Susan Jaberg-Elementary Principal Have you noticed that many Kohler School District
teachers and administrative staff are wearing rubber pur-
ple bracelets on one of their wrists? You are probably
wondering why? The bracelets are inspired by a book
written by Will Bowen entitled, “A Complaint Free
World.” In his book he talks about the importance of pos-
itive attitudes. The way we perceive reality and the words
we choose to communicate has a tremendous affect on
how the world see us; how the world treats us; and most
importantly how we treat others.
As we begin a brand new school year and strive to con-
tinually achieve higher standards for our students, we un-
derstand we must therefore have higher standards for our
educators and administrators. Would a reduction in need-
less complaining enhance the learning environment?
Would a reduction in complaining assist in making the
‘World’s Friendliest School’ feel even more friendly?
Would less complaining set a better example for our stu-
dents? Could this have a more positive affect on their
lives?
It is more and more evident that we are becoming a
world of complainers. It is easy to get into a ‘complaint
loop’ as author Bowen calls it. “Complaining hurts others
and feeds on itself. “The complainer influences the be-
havior of the listener, and the listener’s response to the
complaint subsequently affects the behavior of the com-
plainer.” This creates a complaining loop whereby people
feed off one another’s negativity which drains each of
them emotionally.”
In an in-service session for teachers and administrators,
the basic tenets for striving to actually create a “Complaint
Free World’ was shared, based on suggestions from the
book. The goal? To have every participant go 21 straight
days without complaining? The purple bracelets play an
important role in helping the participant to keep count on
how they are doing. If they make a complaint, then the
participant must place the bracelet on the opposite wrist
and start the count over. The goal then is to keep the pur-
ple bracelet on the same wrist for 21 days! By the way, it
takes the typical participant nearly 7 months to get to 21
complaint free days!
It is hoped this little experiment into a ‘Complaint Free
World’ at the Kohler School District will be taken with
both a spirit of fun and yet to some degree of seriousness!
Author Will Bowen further asks, “Were the great leaders
of the United States also great complainers? I’d have to
say, “No.” These important men and women allowed dis-
satisfaction to drive them to great visions and their passion
for these visions inspired others to follow them. Their re-
lentless focus on a bright future raced the collective heart-
beat of this nation. Their method of transforming our
consciousness as a country and, as a result, our future was
best summarized by Robert Kennedy, “There are those
that look at things the way they are, and ask why? I dream
of things that never were, and ask why not?”
At the start of this new school year it is a great time to
stop all the complaining! Want to join in? Read more
about “A Complaint Free World” at their website:
www.acomplaintfreeworld.org. By the way, to date, over
6 million purple complaint free bracelets have been sent
to people in over 80 countries around the world.

Andrae
TimeSubmitted by Kohler Mid-dle School Student Coun-cil
The first Friday of the
school year was a memo-
rable one. The Kohler
Middle School, 6-8th
graders went on a half day
trip to Terry Andrae State
Park and had a great time.
When asked afterwards,
most of them said they had
fun playing orbit ball and
building sand castles. This
was all part of the team-
building experience—only
a few students fell over
from having too much fun.
As we all played in the
sand and ran around, we
learned many things such
as how to play as a team
and how to work around
