Monday, February 13th took me to a building in South Central UniServ Unit in Waukee. Walnut Hills Elementary opened this fall with building leader/ principal Deb Snider at the helm. Deb (second from right) greeted me with open arms as she did last fall when I visited Eason Elementary. Also pictured is Becky Pashek, Waukee EA co-president and Walnut Hills Media Specialist (left) and Jim Crotty, South Central UniServ Unit Director (second from left). It was amazing to see the great working relationship Deb (from the administration) and Becky (from the association) have in building the team at Walnut Hills.
Waukee EA building reps at Walnut Hills Elementary School are Shawnel Seifreid (center) and Jen Ghelf (right). Thanks for your leadership in the classroom as well as in the association!
Pictured at left are 3rd grade teacher Kelli McClurg and her homeroom students. I spoke to the class about my responsibilities as ISEA President.
Pictured here on the right are Melissa Peterman and her Kindergarten class. I got to read one of my favorite picture books to the class.
Sandy Cowell and her 1st graders (pictured at left) allowed me to share a favorite read a loud. The children were excited that later in the day they would hold their classroom Valentine's party.
The final group of students that I had a chance to visit with at Walnut Hills was Jenifer Huyck's 3rd grade (pictured at right). Jenifer's class did a great job of making connections to why educators pay close attention to what state policy makers are doing.
