Its Spring! Finally
Peggy Whitson Graduates
Peggy Whitson, Commander
A Leader with a historic career due to a great attitude.
STEM fields are suffering from a lack of workers with the right skills. Many tech companies are inundated with young male employees, which makes it daunting for a female to join that company and fit into such a male dominated culture. Think of Ms. Whitson, female astronaut in that male dominated field. She not only succeeded, but she excelled and become a leader in the field, not just a female leader, but her influence and leadership was recognized by all.
I hope your daughters, (and sons) are considering careers in STEM. Ms. Whitson was a biochemist and researcher who got her chance to go to space, not only go but to spend over 500 days on three flights to the International Space Station. What a great career for a small town girl from Iowa.
Emergency Operations Plans
Our planning is coming to an end. The planning document and emergency flip charts are in the final editing stages now. They will cover not only events of violence, floods, fire, tornadoes, acts of terrorism, lost students, and everyday safety concerns. This will not be a public document as it is recommended that our evacuation plans and safety zones are not to be released to the public for obvious safety reasons.
We also are planning a comprehensive drill at NFV HS with all entities involved this summer. We seek to learn from each other and to be ready for the unthinkable. This is one plan that we hope never gets used.
