Mr. Wiebke was the AD in the '80s and brought in his 1960 Upper Iowa letterman's jacket for Mr. Pfiffner to try on. It fits!
Does your student want to serve on the Iowa State Board of Education?
Applications are being accepted for the student member of the Iowa State Board of Education. Each year the Governor appoints a student to serve as a nonvoting member of the State Board. At the time of application, the student must be a full-time, regularly enrolled tenth-or eleventh-grade student in an Iowa school district. The term of the student member starts May 1, 2022, and ends April 30, 2023. The State Board meets at least seven times during that term, with most meetings taking place in the Grimes State Office Building in Des Moines. The deadline for submitting an application with all required documents is Jan. 31, 2022.

Make sure to ask your Bobcat what s/he is working on in math!
