CW FBLA is 1/4 of the way toward our goal of 100 bags of new or gently used shoes. There is still over a month left to donate as our fundraiser runs through January 17. Please consider helping us meet our goal by dropping off shoes at the hs or at any of the collection boxes.

Employment Strat students participated in mock interviews. Each interviewer "hired" one student. This semester Dain, Brady & Reed were "hired". Congrats to not only these 3, but all who took part. Thank you to Ryan VanderHeiden, Mr. Luepker, and Mrs. Gannon for interviewing them.

CW FBLA students had an incredible experience today thanks to Calamus alum Doug Goettsch, owner of Big Grove Brewery & Taproom. He generously gave them a tour of the facilities & shared his expertise, giving students a firsthand look at what it takes to run a successful business.

We are excited to announce that our very own Ms. Bethany Seedorff was awarded the Phillip Sehmann Excellence in Teaching Award from the Northeast Iowa Bandmasters Association. She was honored this past weekend at the annual honor band festival.

The Phillip Sehmann Excellence in Teaching Award is given in memory of Mr. Phillip Sehmann, who had a highly distinguished career as Director of Bands at Crestwood Community Schools. Awardees are recognized for displaying the qualities of excellence, dedication, and commitment to the value of instrumental music education in our schools. This award is considered the highest honor NEIBA bestows.

Please join us in recognizing and congratulating Ms. Seedorff!
