On behalf of Bank Iowa, I want to congratulate Le Mars High School for finishing in the top ten among all 3A high schools in the Bank Iowa Traveling Challenge Cup for the 2010-11 school year.

 The award, which includes a prestigious crystal cup to display and $1,750 for the 2011-12 school year, has become highly coveted and has sparked a great deal of friendly competition among Iowa high schools since its inception in 2007. We are thrilled to recognize Iowa high schools for their accomplishments in academics, athletics and fine arts, and applaud Le Mars for making the top ten. You should be proud.

 Attached is a news release with more information about the award and a list of all top ten schools in each of the four divisions. By now you should have also received a poster to help promote the award to your student body and faculty.

Best of luck to you as you compete for the 2011-12 Bank Iowa Traveling Challenge Cup championship title!

From Dr. Wendt's District Newsletter

I want to offer my congratulations to Jeanne Rust for being named the Decades of Excellence Crystal Bell Teacher of the Year in the LeMars communiyt Schoool District for the 2011-12 school year. Mrs. Rust has been the 6-12 Challenge teacher at Le Mars Community Schools since 2000. She was honored at the annual Le Mars Community School District Foundation Banquet held on April 10, 2012. The Decades of Excellence crystal bell award is co-sponsored by the Le Mars Community Schools Foundation and Alumni Association. They are both outstanding supporters of the Le Mars Community School District. At the banquet, I failed to recognize the Alumni Association and its Board of Directors and I apologize for that mistake.

May 7 through the 11th is Teacher Appreciation week across the country. We are blessed in the Le Mars community school district to have so many teachers who are committed to working with our students day in and day out to hel prepare them for th echallenges that their futures will present. I want all of our teachers to know that I truly appreciated all their efforts to help our students be successful this past year. Please take the time during this week to let your child's teacher(s) know that you appreciate their efforts.

Below are a list of supplies for students for each of the districts levels
