Lindsay Townsend, a graduate of Johnston High School and currently a senior at the University of Northern Iowa, was honored by the Johnston Education Association as an ISEA scholarship winner at a special luncheon on Friday. Lindsay is majoring in Elementary Education at UNI and will have an endorsement in Early Childhood.
Lindsay will student teach in the Des Moines area this fall. Her first assignment will be in a 2nd grade classroom at Eason Elementary in the Waukee Public Schools and her second placement in the West Des Moines Public Schools at Jordan Creek Elementary in a Self-Contained Pre-School class. Lindsay is one of four scholarship winners that Team ISEA honored this year with a $1,000 check. Lindsay is the Treasurer of the Student ISEA chapter at the University of Northern Iowa. We are so proud of you, Lindsay!
Lindsay's mother, Brigid Townsend (2nd from left), is a 15 year veteran educator at Johnston High School. Brigid's current assignment is in Special Education as a Work Experience Coordinator. Barb Allen (on far right), Johnston EA co-president with Melissa Keeney (at far left) for the 2005-2006 school year, described to us over lunch that the coming school year she will be co-president with Maribeth Miller. Melissa is a Nationally Board Certified Teacher and teaches 2nd grade at Lawson Elementary in Johnston. I sure think this is a creative way to have continued experience in our association's top leadership role. Kudos to the Johnston EA leaders for "thinking outside the box"! I first met Barb in January of this year when she participated in the NEA Midwest Regional Conference held in Indianapolis, IN. Barb is a school nurse in the Johnston 6-8 Middle School.
Congratulations again, Lindsay! And thanks Team ISEA leaders of the Johnston EA for all you do every day for Iowa students!
