Newell-Fonda's Elementary Building in Newell


Off to Newell to Newell-Fonda’s Elementary building—Lincoln Elementary. In Newell I read to two groups of 2nd graders from Mrs. Thompson’s and Mrs. Freese’s classes.




Before heading to the staff lounge for lunch, I was interviewed by the Buena Vista County newspaper out of Pocahontas. It is a weekly paper that is published each Wednesday.



Joining us at lunch is Newell-Fonda EA President Mary Kohnen. Mary is a teacher-librarian and has a very busy day. Mary works with elementary students of 4-8th grade in the morning, Kindergarten through 3rd grade students in the afternoon, then High School when she can. Wow, more then enough to do! Thanks for your leadership, Mary!



The last class I visited was in Jean Bellinghausen’s 1st grade homeroom. What a delightful group of students! The students were great listeners and what fun we had together! Jean is a long-time EA member. Thanks for your leadership in and out of the classroom Jean!
