Proud to be EV... Week of November 17-23, 2013

I am very proud of our EV students. The Student Council held a food drive and our students raised 1501 items for our local food pantry! On Monday, Mr. Nachtman, the Student Council Advisor, and a couple of his Student Council members delivered the items~


On Tuesday, Iowa Secretary of State, Matt Schultz, came to visit our seniors. He led a Rock Iowa presentation in which he talked about the importance of voting and held interactive activities with students centered around focusing on key issues that may arise when making decisions on how they will vote. A couple of our students took part in a mock debate! At the conclusion of the presentation, each student was given a Rock Iowa t-shirt. We appreciate his visit.


On Tuesday night, several of our English Valleys choir students performed at the SICL Honor  Choir event held at Iowa Valleys Jr/Sr High School in Marengo. The performances were wonderful to listen to~

On Wednesday night I attended the monthly Booster Club meeting. They have been working hard to find ways to raise money to support various groups and activities in our district. They have done an excellent job with finding ways to assist the district in increasing pride in our school~

On Thursday night, we hosted an information meeting on the possibility of transitioning to 8 man football. This meeting was attended by over 60 students and parents. On December 2, 2013 at 7:30 p.m. a special school board meeting will be held to make a final decision on this topic.

On Friday, we held our weekly "Spirit Assembly". Mr. Ling introduced the Junior High Wrestling team. We hosted a Junor High Wrestling meet on Thursday night in which many of our wrestlers had first ever wins!
The Spirit Assembly was hosted by the Student Council. They played our all time favorite- DODGEBALL! It is still wonderful and amazing to see our students showing pride in our school week after week...
We are nearing the middle of our school year and the students and staff will soon be taking a Thanksgiving and Winter break. The construction of the gym is coming along beautifully... can't wait for the end result!

Go EV Bears!
