IOWA-GRANT'S PANTHER PRESS
JULY 2022 / IGSD NEWSLETTER
IOWA-GRANT DISTRICT OFFICE
It has been my pleasure to serve our school and community as principal and superintendent. I have worked beside the best of the best. You truly have outstanding, compassionate, and dedicated staff at all levels. Lift them up and recognize their important work. Be slow to judge and criticize the people who make our school a great place to learn. Now, more than ever, it is time to stand together and support our students, staff, and administration. Trust and support each other. Serve the school and community in any way you can.
I'd like to share a passage adapted from a poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox. My Uncle Don taught me this poem almost 40 years ago and I believe its message is still relevant today.
TWO KINDS OF PEOPLE
There are two kinds of people on earth today;
Just two kinds of people, that's all I say.
Not the Good and the Bad, for it's well understood
That the Good are half bad and the Bad are half good.
Not the Rich and the Poor, for to know a man's wealth,
You must first know the state of his conscience and health.
Not the Happy and Sad, for the quick flying years
Bring each of us laughter and each of us tears.
No; the two kinds of people on earth I mean
Are the people who Lift and the people who Lean.
Wherever you go you will find the earth's masses
Are always divided in just these two classes.
And oddly enough, you will find, too, I've seen,
There's only one Lifter to twenty who Lean.
In which class are you? Are you lightening the load
Of overworked Lifters who toil down the road?
Or are you a Leaner who lets others bear
Your portion of service and labor and care?
Thank you for supporting my journey at Iowa-Grant and I leave with the fondest memories of students' smiles and laughter. May the magic in these classrooms continue to spark new ideas and life lessons for all us.
Panther Proud,
Robyn Oberfoell

From the Desk of Mrs. Gallagher
Summer school has gone strong in June. The students seemed to have a lot of fun and participated in a variety of activities including STEM, sports, drumming, and more. Summer Recreation ball for grades 3-8 is starting to wrap up. A special thank you to everyone that made this possible this year. We will even be hosting some of the playoff action at our Livingston field! It is amazing to see what happens when the community comes together. I am very proud to be part of the Iowa-Grant Panther family.
Missoula Children’s Theater along with Heather Mayne and Darcy Breuer will present Johnny Appleseed! At IGEMS, July 18-23, 2022 from 8:30 am- 12:30 pm. This is for students that registered during the school year.
