Great educators I met in Carlisle EA


Pictured with me (left photo) is Anna Johnson, an elementary teacher at the Carlisle Elementary building. Anna had the most inviting classroom, I'd want to come back everyday if I were a student in her room!



In the Carlisle Elementary Media Center (photo at right) is Media Specialist Kristi Smith. Kristi said how student readership is up and students have tremendous enthusiasm for gobbling up great literature. Kristi is the sister of a long-time friend and long-time association leader Vicki Grote of Underwood.

Third year High School Chemistry teacher, Kari Shields, is pictured here with her life-sized cardboard cutout in her classroom. Iowa State University focused on a handful of graduates as part of their display at 2005 Iowa State Fair and Kari was the educator they chose to highlight. ISU obviously knew what a quality educator Kari would be...she is now mentoring a new Science teacher down the hall from her!



The final set of educators I met as a part of the Carlisle Community School District were teachers in the 5th and 6th grade building in Hartford. Pictured here (photo at right) is Peggy Gruss. Thanks, Peggy, for your Association leadership and your leadership in the classroom.
