The snow was flying, but as all good Iowans...we are hearty folk and braved the elements with a visit to Audubon on Wednesday afternoon.
Once each month the Audubon High School staff brings dishes for a noontime potluck. We are in luck, they had their monthly lunch of homemade goodies to share with us on Wednesday!
We walked our lunch off with a tour of the new addition! Giving us a tour of the building was Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Brett Gibbs. The building that once housed only the High School is now also home to the Middle School. Beautiful new classrooms for the Middle Schoolers and an all new Media Center were some of the highlights of the tour! We also were guests in the 5th grade classroom of Nicki Olsen. The 5th graders all did a shared reading for Black History Month which highlighted parts of famous speeches. The students did an awesome job!
One more school to visit! UniServ Director Myron and I were next off to Audubon Elementary. The elementary also had some major renovations and additions! I had the chance to read to Monica Jones' class in the new Media Center. The center is a most inviting area!
Just off to one side of the elementary Media Center is the school's Computer Lab. Here we had a chance to see the 4th grade class of Chris Jensen practice their keyboarding skills.

Our day ended back at Audubon High School in the Vocal Music room of Gary Kellar. Gary (pictured on the left) is a longtime member of ISEA-PAC Central Committee.
Members of the Audubon EA gathered in Gary's room for an association meeting at the end of their school day.

Thanks to all in Audubon for the great afternoon. You have much to be proud of in your growing school district! Thanks for all you do for Iowa's students!
