My Wednesday, April 23rd, began in Lewis Central Community School District at Titan Hill Intermediate School. Nearly four dozen members gathered for bagels and juice along with the chance to have conversation with their colleagues. Thanks to all who joined us before your school day began!
Lewis Central is a growing school district on the edge of Council Bluffs. Titan Hill has a student population of 2nd through 5th grade students. Each grade level has at least nine (9) homeroom classes!
LCEA past president and 5th grade teacher, Maggie Bennett (seated in the middle/black blouse) extended the invitation for my visit and made all arrangements for the morning. I had the chance to read to Maggie's homeroom. Maggie is an enthusiastic teacher/leader and we're so lucky to have her as a leader on Team ISEA!
Next I read in the 3rd grade homeroom of Mrs. Susan Drustrup. Mrs. Drustrup (back row/black t-shirt) is pictured with her 3rd grade homeroom. What a great bunch of students! Thanks Susan for your leadership in the classroom and in the association!
The last classroom visit at Titan Hill was to the homeroom of Ms. Joanna Stenlund. After reading aloud to Ms. Stenlund's 2nd grade, I captured this photo (on right) of Joanna and her homeroom.
Before leaving Titan Hill, I connected with someone I saw as I entered the building. Mrs. Tammy (Fiala) Stephens, a former 6th grade student of mine at Peterson Elementary, was volunteering time with other parents in the school's Book Fair. Tammy and her sister, Cindy, have been extra special former students. When they graduated from high school, college, got married, had babies--they invited me to their family celebrations! Tammy (and husband Todd's) daughter, Amanda, is a 5th grader here at Titan Hill Intermediate School.
Thank you Titan Hill and LCEA members for all you do for Iowa's students!
