Happy Friday—you made it. The weekend (pretty much). Let’s get it started the right way.
Today on Good Morning, Coulee:
🔥 The Coulee Crew Card is officially here. Get 10% off at your favorite restaurants »
😀 Good news from our community to make you smile
🍽 #ThatLooksGood (dessert edition)
What a day we have on tap. Come get it started with me. 👇
🔥 Officially Launched: Coulee Crew Card #001
The time is finally here. I’ve been hard at work finalizing partnerships, doing outreach, and making sure that we are able to do some good with this product launch. The Coulee Crew Card is available for sale! »
Here’s the rundown:
With this card, you’ll get 10% off at each of the listed establishments
After each use, staff at the establishment will cross off the bubble next to that establishment
A portion of proceeds will go to benefit New Leash on Life, a non-profit dog rescue based in La Crosse
You can buy as many cards as you like, but you can use them once at each establishment (10 total uses)
Use code: GMCOULEE at checkout for 5 bucks off (not sharing this on social—it’s my thank you ❤️ for reading my scrappy little email every morning, valid for 24 hours only)
Presenting, Coulee Crew Card version #001 (oh yeah, there’s gonna be more of these bad boys. that’s a discussion for a different day, though):

💬 Today’s Thought
“The greatest danger to our future is apathy. We can't all save the world in a dramatic way, but we can each make our small difference, and together those small differences add up. Every single person makes an impact on the planet every single day. The question is: What kind of impact do you want to make?”

Local Teacher Organizes Bike Ride With Students Every Friday

Mike Lawrence, teacher at SOTA I, organizes "Bike with Mike" Friday mornings. Students gather at Hogan Administrative Building on Friday mornings, bike as a group to Mayo for a donut (shoutout to donations to help fund this) and then bike to school. This is a wonderful way to end the week and attracts a lot of students and families. Mr. Mike is so awesome and students love his energy!
