Proud to be EV... Week of February 23-March 1, 2014

On Monday, the students did not have school. The English Valleys and Iowa Valley teachers had a combined professional development day at Iowa Valley High School in Marengo. Jimmy Casas, high school principal at Bettendorf, was the guest speaker for the day and ran several mini-sessions. Teachers also took part in other mini-sessions on topics related to improving student learning.

On Monday night, the Varsity Girls basketball team finished their season with a loss to Lynnville-Sully at Pella Christian High School in a regional finals game. The team had a great season and I am looking forward to watching them again next year. Our crowd was absolutely amazing- I am looking forward to the continued support of our programs.

On Thursday, Mr. Hester took a group of students to Spotlight on STEM day at UNI. Mr. Hester reported that the group did a really great job.

The very first event on our new stage was held Thursday night. The junior high band and choir concert took place. They are a talented group and wonderful performers.

On Friday the weekly Spirit Assembly was held. Mr. McCulley hosted the assembly this week.

Go EV Bears!
