The meeting will feature a recap the district’s facility planning work, led by INVISION Architecture and informed by a community facility planning taskforce. The session will recap the taskforce’s work to review previous and new facility efficiency scenarios, look at results of a community survey regarding facility planning, and discuss potential funding mechanisms to support any future projects.

They read the 21 nominated Iowa Children’s Choice Award books this year and answered questions about all of them. Our team then moved on to the District Battle of the Books, where they performed very well and tied for fourth place. Great job all!

Thank You PTO! We Love the New Library Books!

Book cartThe Eisenhower PTO generously donated $4000 last spring to improve the library collection at Eisenhower School. We were able to add 195 new, eye-catching books to our library. These books were added to the Everybody section and the Non-fiction sections of the library. Students have been very excited to check out the new books this fall. Thanks so much for improving our library collection and inspiring a love for reading!
