Mrs. Schmitt had a student teacher from ISU at the beginning of the semester through the first week of March. Whitney Tegtmeier is originally from Sumner and is a senior at Iowa State University. Tegtmeier has been learning classroom management, curriculum, how to do food labs and so much more. Let's hope she still wants to be a teacher after teaching high school! Mrs. Schmitt said, "She is doing an amazing job and I am learning from her just as much as she is learning from me."

The middle school students learned line dances this week! The dance unit is a collaboration between music and physical education, and it was a good time!
Hopefully more students will be on the dance floor cutting a rug when these songs play. The 6th-8th graders have their Sweetheart Dance tonight at the event center! The dance will start at 7pm. :)
