Can Collection in Ossian
The Schatz family has graciously been in charge of collecting, sorting, and hauling cans to the redemption center. We are looking for another family to assist them with this fundraising project. The collection site behind the Ossian building averages about a bag a day and it is difficult to haul away due to the hours the redemption center is open. Please contact Kristin Kriener if you are interested in helping with this project. You would not be responsible for working on another fundraising booster group. Thank you!

Teacher Professional Development
On Tuesday, August 16 we welcomed several new staff members to our school by having an orientation, lunch and a social in the afternoon. Wednesday was our first official day back with team building, goal setting, and logistics for the year. Our staff participated in intruder training provided by Winneshiek county emergency services and the sheriff’s department. Grant Langhus from Luana Savings Bank talked about cyber security in the afternoon and gave us some great tips on reducing our risks on the internet. Teachers had time to work in their classrooms and collaborate with each other. Thursday consisted of Mass with Father Huber in Spillville followed by phonemic awareness and content reading training. Families were invited to Back to School Conferences which was well attended. Monday was spent training teachers in PRESS interventions, Stop the Bleed, and work time as we prepared for the first day of school!
