The Jaime Jorge fundraiser was a success. Between cash and pledges $17,500 was raised. There are many worker elves who helped make this happen, they know who they are and I wish to thank them.
The elementary book sale was a success with the dollars raised going to support our elementary library.
The 2010 Iowa Test results are in. Our students have done extremely well across the board. In all grades tested, english language profiency, when measured as a class average, are well above the national norm. In most cases it is above the 70th percentile. Sciences, social studies, and use of materials are also well above the national average. Math has been the lagger in the past but even that has shown improvement. Math in general is above the national norm (although not as dramatic). All math areas have shown improvement with general computation as a challenge . We are working on that.
As we look forward to second semester, things like music festivals and tours, mission trips, sports activities appear on the calendar. These events and many others will be both eventful and exciting.
