Monday, January 30th marked my first visit to Hawkeye UniServ Unit for the year. Pictured here are two association leaders I met in Traer (left to right) Kim Howard, North Tama EA president; and Connie Courbat, long-time association activist and bargaining team member. I had the chance to share a read-aloud in Kim's Kindergarten class and in Connie's 3rd grade homeroom. Thanks to both Kim and Connie for your advocacy on behalf of North Tama EA members!
Another great treat was in store for me after having read to two elementary classroom....I got to meet a couple of great High School students that were bubbling over with enthusiasm for newly arrived equipment in the Music department. Pictured here are Piper (standing) and Shawn (seated) demonstrating a computer program that allows them to create their own music. There were four computer work stations that individual students could work on, all at the same time. The students explained that a community member that had recently passed away, had left $5,000 to the North Tama Schools Music Department. When another family member realized of the gift, they contributed an additional $5,000 to the Music Department too! How lucky the North Tama Schools are to have this level of investment from community members to your school and in North Tama students!
Pictured are Shawn (left to right), Mr. Terry Shay, and Piper. Terry is the Music teacher for Kindergarten, and 3rd through 12th grades. How lucky North Tama is to have Terry to provide leadership for these awesome challenging Music opportunities!
