Southern Cal in Lake City

The end of our day took us to Southern Cal—that’s Calhoun County, in Lake City. Our first stop was at Lincoln Elementary in the classrooms of Kindergarten teachers of Deanne Grantham and Rita Frank. It was fun to see the great things going on in your classrooms as well to share a favorite read aloud.



Off to the Southern Cal Middle-High School. Here we connected with local EA president Lynne Gentry (standing on left). Lynne is an 8th grade Language Arts and Reading teacher and a candidate for the Iowa House of Representatives. Lynne gave us a tour of two floors of the High School building, stopping to introduce us to members along the way. Before the school day ended we also had the chance to meet both the High School Principal and the district’s Superintendent of Schools.

One member we met along our tour of the school was Denise Brobst, Language Arts, Reading and Math teacher. Denise (standing on right) is pictured visiting with Lynne.

Gathering with us after school to enjoy conversation and cookies were EA members Pam Feld, Health and Middle School Counselor who also has long-served as the EA Secretary (seated on the right) and High School and Middle School Spanish teacher, Brenda Griffin (seated on left).

Thanks, Southern Cal EA for all your great work every day on behalf of Iowa’s students!
