We begin with Teddy Mammen who is the daughter of Kacie Mammen, Jake & Josie Berning. Her brothers are Gage Berning, Charlie Mammen & Payton Rabbass. Her sister is Jayde Berning. Teddy's favorite HS memory is the trips to Ames for speech. Performing in the auditorium was definitely an experience she will never forget. Teddy has graduated early and is already working. In the fall she is planning on attending WITCC for Ag Mngmt. Best of luck to you, Teddy!

Maddox Wood is today's Senior Spotlight! His parents are Dave Wood & MacKenzie Koeppen. His sisters are Siri Wood & Kara-Jo Rabbass. His favorite high school memory is when he had to help Blaine with his truck. Maddox graduated at mid-term and is finishing out his contract with the Air Nat'l Guard.

On Monday, April 22nd, RV Elementary celebrated Earth Day in fitting fashion. Mrs. Reinking and Ms. Rau took all K-5 students out and about to clean our elementary campus and some surrounding areas of Washta. Ms. Skye and our fabulous preschool staff also took the preschool kiddos outside to do the same! It was great exercise and a great lesson in taking care of Mother Earth!

Recently, RV Elementary got some wonderful news! Our custodians were to receive an award. Josie Cooper with Powell Broadcasting and KSUX 105.7 stopped by to deliver some exciting news! Kayla and Robbie had been nominated and awarded the "The Golden Apple Award." The award is presented to individuals involved in public education that put students first. They are always willing to lend a hand and do whatever. We are sure lucky to have them at RV Elementary and we certainly very proud of them! Congratulations Kayla and Robbie:)
