Dear Parent/Guardian,
Her name is Kris Ward and she is teaching 8th grade Spanish Exploratory, Spanish II and Spanish III. She would like to introduce you to Izzy.
Izzy was born on December 21, 2020 and came to live with Kris and her husband on February 12, 2021. Izzy is a Goldendoodle, which is known to have an ‘allergy-friendly’ coat, to be intelligent, friendly and people-oriented. Izzy is all of this and more!
She and Kris have been working hard together training to be ready to come to school. At the end of July she passed the Canine Good Citizen Test and the Urban Good Canine Citizen test. This is a huge accomplishment for a dog her age and shows her intelligence and adaptability.
Izzy would like to come to school this year and spend most of her days with us in the Spanish classroom. Animals can provide great comfort in an otherwise stressful day. However, Izzy also understands that dogs can be scary for some people; therefore we will have a kennel in the classroom for her to spend her time or on a leash to limit her movement within the classroom, if your child/ren has reservations with Izzy being in the room.
Please let her know if there are any allergies or fears that Izzy and Kris need to be aware of, so we can make all the necessary preparations for a safe and enjoyable experience for all. Her email address is: k_ward@new-hampton.k12.ia.us.

New Hampton FFA kicked off Homecoming 2021 by following the Fourth Line FFA Motto: "Living to Serve" A former FFA member contacted Mr. Russ about helping harvest a third of an acre of Indian Corn and preparing it for sale at the Cedar Valley Produce Auction for the Special Ornamental Fall Sale. The family offered to do this on shares with the chapter. Both the officers and the members discussed this and with true service in mind decided to offer their time with no further expectations. Sunday afternoon 14 members, Mr. and Mrs Russ and family members picked the earsby hand and started husking and bundling the ears. There are a few pictures below. More work to be completed on Monday.
More FFA members took Monday to finish husking the Indian Corn before many of them left for athletic practices. Very proud of these people and their commitment to service.
Congratulations to the Homecoming Court:
Daniel Aispuro Lauren Smith
Preston Trower Katie Steinlage
Gavin Rings Natalie Marr
Dylan Usher Emily Jackson

5th graders enjoyed a day filled with lots of learning from flooding, ethanol education, to food packing for the people of Tanzania. The kids favorite was packing the food! It was a great day.
