A Visit to Union Middle School


Following our visit to North Tama on Wednesday afternoon, the association road led us to Union Middle School in Dysart. It was "Homecoming Week" and Wednesday's theme was "team spirit" day! Staff and students were dressed in their favorite team jerseys!

Our one classroom visit took us to the 8th grade Civics class of teacher Stacey Stull. Stacey's 8th graders had prepared questions for me about my service as a memer of the Iowa House (1993-96). I think one thing that always surprises (and disappoints people) is when they learn how partisan the process really is. The students had great questions and this is really a rock star teacher too! Thanks Stacey Stull for your leadership in the classroom!
