Congratulations to our boys’ basketball team for progressing to the Division 3 State Basketball Tournament!!
The excitement surrounding our school and students when any of our teams progress to State Level Competition is great and positive for our community. However, the logistics of how the tournaments are organized, coupled with students, staff, and community desires to attend these competitions can be a challenge for the operations of a school district. The purpose of this memo is to clarify how the district will address attendance issues for our Pre K-12 students since our high school boys’ basketball team qualified for the W.I.A.A. Division 3 semifinal game scheduled for 9:05 a.m. on Friday, March 16, 2012.

Pre K-12 Students
In an effort to accommodate the staff, students and parents who want to attend the game with their students on Friday the decision has been made that students and staff will not have classes on Friday March 16th. This decision may be viewed as counter to the academic mission of our district, however, in cooperation with district staff we will continue to provide students with the educational opportunities they deserve by making this day up on June 7, 2012. This day is designated in the district calendar as a make-up day and we will be using it as such to offset the loss of the instructional day this Friday, March 16th.

Spectator Buses

We are discouraging the use of private vehicles and will be attempting to provide spectator buses for students for the game on Friday, March 16th. The cost of the bus will be $5 and students will need to sign up in the office by the end of the day on Thursday, March 15th. Students will be required to purchase a ticket before being allowed to sign up for the fan bus. Buses will be leaving the high school at 7:15 AM. Following the conclusion of the game, students will be transported back to the high school.

Ticket Sales

The school has been allotted 1,299 tickets to sell for the Lodi section of the Kohl Center. Tickets will be on sale in the HS Office starting Tuesday morning, March 13. All tickets are $10. If we run out of tickets, we will be able to request more from the Kohl Center. We will need to complete the sale of tickets by 2:00 PM on Thursday, as the high school is required to turn in all unsold tickets to the Kohl Center by 6:00 Thursday night. The HS office will sell tickets at the following times:

Tuesday 7:30 AM-6:00 PM

Wednesday 6:30 AM-6:00 PM

Thursday 6:30 AM-2:00 PM

Tickets in addition to the provided 1,299 are also available at the Kohl Center Ticket Office which is open from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday. The phone number of the ticket office is 608.262.1440 or 1.800.462.2343.

Lodi, DeForest, Blue Mounds locations secure fresh feel, maintain long-standing dedication to clients and patients.

LODI, Wis. [March 2, 2012] – Lodi Veterinary Care (formerly Lodi Veterinary Hospital and Madison Equine Clinic) announces a new name and logo that more accurately defines the business’ unified dedication to animal care and customer service.

The updated name and revised logo symbolize the continuous connection between client, patient and employee. It also represents the diversity of expertise for which Lodi Veterinary Care strives. With nearly 100 employees, including 19 fulltime veterinarians, the partner-owned vision of comprehensive animal care is embodied through each division; companion, equine and livestock.

“The new name reflects our diverse lines of business, yet retains continuity with our history,” says Scott Pertzborn, livestock DVM and partner at Lodi Veterinary Care. “Today, we specialize to serve many different clients, but all of our services are connected through our veterinarians’ commitment to animal care. When coupled with high-end technology and the best available practices, we are able to continue doing what is best for the animals and their owners.”

“Caring is the foundation of everything that we do,” adds K.C. Brooks, companion DVM, DAVBP and practice CEO. “Though we serve many different types of clients and provide a wide range of services, each endeavor is driven by our passionate professionals who care deeply about the animals they treat. While the name and logo of our practice is changing, the commitment to our clients and their animals continues to be the essence of who we are and what we do.”

With locations in Lodi, Deforest and Blue Mounds, Lodi Veterinary Care fuses a proud history and long era of animal care in Wisconsin, with the latest practices and advancements in veterinary technology. The partner-owned, mixed-species practice offers a breadth of services and expertise around the clock – available through clinic, mobile, and emergency care.

Dylan’s Pick of the Month

You see, I’m a bit of an enviromentalist. I carpool everywhere I go, I recycle, and, I love to ride my bike. That’s what makes this 2010 Toyota Corolla a great choice. You’ll get great gas mileage, at around 34 Miles Per Gallon, although sometimes my dad says you can get better than that. Who says you can’t look good while doing it. The ground effects and spoiler really make this car look nice. Just because it’s a small car doesn’t mean that I have to skimp on space. I’m really comfortable in the back with lots of room to stretch out. If you want to take a test drive give my dad Craig, or my Uncle Brian a call at 608-592-3848, or visit they’re website www.nessautomotive.com

Ever wonder why we ask for your name when you call, and then again once you reach the service desk? We do this to ensure that if the call is dropped, that we are able to track who called, and get back to them as soon as possible.

Attention Lodi/Lake Wisconsin Chamber Members!

Last year our chamber partnered with Activate Lodi and the Lodi Optimist’s to host the MOTHER’S DAY RUN.   It was a GREAT day – our group of runner’s were so diverse; mothers with their son or daughter, sister’s running together, friend’s that hadn’t seen each other in years, men supporting their wives…it was simply a fun, FABULOUS day!

This event showed true collaboration by working with our entire community to bring a fun and healthy event for the entire family  to Lodi on Mother’s Day.

This year – the race is scheduled for SATURDAY, MAY 12^th!  

NEW!  We listened to our runner’s and have added a 10K run along with the 5K run and ½ marathon.   The kid’s run is FREE!

To be successful – we need our business community to assist in sponsoring our event.  I’ve attached the detailed information on what is available.  I encourage you to review this information and see if there is a way that you and your business may be able to financially assist with this event.

We gave all of the proceeds from the Mother’s Day Run last year back to our community.  Each of the water/aid stations was a volunteer group within our community that was in need of extra funds.  They volunteered and manned their water stations and provided great support to our runners.   We were proud to be able to support their needs through a donation from this run.

Please take a moment and consider how you might be able to help our community.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or the Race Director:
