At Tuesday night's school board meeting, we got to recognize the ALHS Golf Team for their first appearance at the state golf meet in 33 years. These golfers have worked hard all year and had an outstanding season with notable accomplishments, including not only going to the state meet but also claiming a runner-up finish at the MRAC meet, winning the Le Mars Invite, and winning their 6th consecutive city title!
Way to go, boys!

At Tuesday night's board meeting, we were able to recognize our All-Star Licensed Staff Member of the Month for the month of September, Julisa Novotny, from Kirn Middle School!

Here is what Julisa's nominators had to say about her work:
Julisa conveys kindness to students and everyone she works and comes in contact with. Students know she cares about them because she takes time to get to know them, remembers the details they share, and checks in with them about their family and out-of-school activities.

She is always willing to try new things and takes time to think of the best ways to engage all students and make language arts fun. Julisa makes a point to show how language arts is a skill students will need now and in the future. In doing so, she directly supports our district’s D+1 initiative. She knows just how to reign students in when they are showing an abundance of high energy and provides different modes of instruction to help with some of those high-energy needs. In the classroom, flexible seating is just a normal part of the day. Julisa makes students feel safe emotionally because they know she cares about them and never makes them feel bad about themselves or if they’re having a bad day.

Julisa is an amazing teacher who works hard every day to make the most of every moment with her students. Working alongside her over the years has made me a better teacher and challenges me to find new and better ways to instruct. She regularly shares literacy resources and lessons and is a valuable collaborator with her grade-level team. Julisa often jokes that she does some of her best thinking in the shower; I don’t think she ever stops thinking about the students and staff at Kirn or our district.

At Tuesday night's board meeting we were able to recognize our All-Star Support Staff Member of the Month for the Month of September Rachelle Hamilton from Edison Elementary School!

Here is what Rachelle's nominators had to say about her work at Edison:
As our Operations Manager, Rachelle is truly the backbone of Edison. Every single day, she demonstrates an unwavering dedication to our school, working tirelessly to ensure that both students and teachers have a positive, supportive, and safe environment to learn. Without her, Edison simply could not run as smoothly as it does.

Rachelle is everything to everybody. She's a jack of all trades, from managing building coverage each morning to jumping in and supporting classrooms and students throughout the day. She juggles a number of responsibilities without question or complaint, all while keeping the rest of us organized, focused, and in line. No matter what she has going on, she always manages to check in on others. Ensuring others feel supported is a priority for her. No matter how chaotic or fast-paced a situation might get, Rachelle responds with an incredible level of calm, grace, and a sense of humor that immediately puts everyone around her at ease.

What sets Rachelle apart even further is her deep connection to our students. She takes the time to know every single student by name and fosters a genuinely positive relationship with each one. When challenging situations arise, students know they can count on her for consistent accountability, but they also know without a doubt that she has their backs and cares deeply about their success.

Rachelle’s commitment, warmth, and steady leadership make Edison a better place everyday. She is beyond deserving of this recognition!
