New Hampton School District Recognizes Board Members

The New Hampton Community School District is joining with other communities throughout Iowa this Spring to honor its elected school board members during Iowa School Board Recognition Week, May 6 - 12. This year's theme, "Sowing the Seeds for Success", recognizes that Iowa's volunteer school board members are providing leadership, through responsibilities ranging from strong financial stewardship to ensuring high-quality curriculum, to make sure all students are prepared to "grow and prosper" when they graduate.

Serving on the local school board are; Terry Anderson, President, Tom Rasmussen, Vice President, Tim Denner, Jennifer Ewert and Joe Rosonke. These men and women volunteer countless hours of unpaid time to provide the best possible education for our students, and we want to recognize that in this community. As your elected leaders, they represent you in their continuing commitment to local citizen control and decision-making for our public schools. Too often the efforts of school board members go unrecognized and unrewarded, so let us take this opportunity to thank them for their service.

Even though we are making a special effort in May to show appreciation for our school board members, we recognize their contributions reflect a year-long effort on their part. They are dedicated individuals who are committed to improving student achievement and to striving for the best for all of our students.

Dr. Stephen R. Nicholson Superintendent, New Hampton CSD

Healthy Options, Healthy Choices, Healthy Kids

In accordance with the Healthy Kids Act and the New Hampton Community School District's Wellness Policy, the school and FFA have begun raising funds to build two greenhouses. These greenhouses will provide our students with the possibility of learning first-hand the importance of eating healthy produce that is grown locally. The greenhouses will also provide students with real-life horticultural and agricultural opportunities as well as experiences in marketing, public speaking, and sales.

For more information regarding the school and FFA project, you can visit the New Hampton High School's Horticulture Blog.
