    • Kudos to Jon Nelson and Hans Block for assisting with the iReady incentives for our students and with the set up for dodgeball!  The students, we know, really appreciated it!!!  
    • Kudos to our kitchen staff on a quick turn around on getting food prepared on Wednesday as they thought all of the 8th graders where going to the Holocaust Museum and had to scurry to make food for the other 8th graders in a hurry!  They handled it very well and so did our lunch duty staff!  Thank you all for your professionalism and for working to do what needed to be done for our students!  
    • Kudos to Kris Thomsen for all of her behind the scenes work with our schedule for next year.  It is a very large learning curve to take on scheduling and Kris has been working diligently to assist with ensuring our schedule will be set for the start of the 2019-2020 school year!  
    • Congrats to Jane Peterson who has decided to retire, joining her husband who also recently retired.  Jane will be finishing up the year with us and then will enjoy time at her cabin and being grandma!
