Herbert Hoover Elementary in Bettendorf


Bettendorf Education Association president, Cindy Ferguson (seated at left), served as my host when visiting four Bettendorf area schools on Wednesday, November 30th. Our first stop of the day was at Hoover Elementary where we visited the school's Media Center. Media Specialist, Sharon Dixon (standing at left) and school Principal, Jeff Johannsen (standing at right) shared how both the community and school have created so many opportunities to use the Media Center. Mr. Johannsen lead our school tour, stopping in every classroom to introduce us to staff and students. We felt most welcome at Hoover!


Pictured here from Hoover is Art teacher, Candy Egger. There were so many terrific projects throughout the building and in classrooms that Candy worked with students to produce. As educators we realize the value fine arts has as an integral part of a rich and varied curriculum. You're awesome, Candy!
