January 21, 2012

It is still hard to type 2012! I remember all of the worries when we turned the calendar over on January 1, 2000 and everyone was waiting for some techno glitch to cripple the world. After all of the worry and money expended nothing happened! We have come a long way!

There are some interesting things going on in the District right now. Lakeview and Prairieview have challenged Eisenhower and Lace to see which school will raise the most money for cancer research in a program called Cancer Smashers. Visit the website of each school to find information about this program as well as videos prepared by students for this event.

The District Spelling Bee will be held Tuesday, January 24^th at Prairieview School. The bee begins at 1:00 pm is the public is welcome to attend.

The Center Cass SD 66 Board of Education last week hired the consulting firm of BWP and Associates to assist them in the search for a new Superintendent of Schools. Watch for your invitation to participate in a focus group to gather input on desired traits for the next leader of our district. Meetings will be head during the week on January 30, 2012.

Lastly, a huge THANK YOU to our entire Transportation Department for an excellent job last night getting all of our students home safely from school in terrible conditions. Although the poor road conditions delayed everyone's progress last night, ALL students arrived home safely!

Have a good weekend!
