🇺🇸 We are proud to recognize Central DeWitt Middle School ELA Teacher Diana Van Hal, who was honored by the DeWitt American Legion and Auxiliary of Post 238 for her outstanding commitment to patriotism in the classroom.
This meaningful project began when Mrs. Van Hal’s friend reached out asking for letters to be written to members of the Iowa National Guard following the tragic loss of two Iowa soldiers in Syria. Mrs. Van Hal saw this as a great opportunity to teach students the importance of letter writing in ELA, even in an age when technology is relied on so heavily.
After hearing another CDMS teacher, Mr. Machovec, share his positive experience of receiving letters from students while serving in the National Guard, the 8th graders wrote a total of 126 letters to service members. Students worked through the full writing process—drafting, editing, and revising—before hand-writing final copies on decorative paper. Some of the most reluctant writers found the project especially meaningful, knowing their words could make a real difference in a soldier’s life.
The letters were delivered to the Blue Star Mothers of Iowa and included in care packages sent to service members across all branches serving in the Middle East, including members of the Iowa National Guard stationed in Syria.
We are proud of Mrs. Van Hal for creating an authentic learning experience that connected classroom instruction with real-world impact, and proud of our students for showing empathy, patriotism, and a genuine desire to support those serving our country.
What a powerful reminder that classrooms can build both confident learners and compassionate citizens! 💜💛

💜💛 Congratulations to our February 2026 District Student of the Month Dalani Beuthien! She is featured in today's edition of The Observer thanks to our friends at First Central State Bank.
Dalani is a student who naturally leads by example. She is known for stepping in when something needs to be done and doing so with confidence, kindness, and a positive attitude. In group settings, she works collaboratively and encourages those around her, helping create an environment where everyone feels supported and motivated.
A dedicated member of FFA, Dalani says her involvement has helped her grow in important ways, including building responsibility, managing her time, developing leadership skills, and becoming a more confident public speaker. These experiences have played a key role in shaping her as both a student and a leader.
Dalani brings energy and enthusiasm into the classroom and takes pride in her academic work, always pushing herself to improve. She is also recognized for her creativity and initiative, especially through her work on the FFA newsletters, where she designs the layout and adds thoughtful, creative elements before each issue is shared.
What truly sets Dalani apart is her genuine happiness in seeing others succeed.
“I like seeing my friends and classmates be successful,” she shared. “I know when I’m successful, it feels really good and I’m proud of myself, so seeing other people experience that makes me happy.”
Dalani’s positive influence, strong work ethic, and commitment to others make her a wonderful SABER role model and a deserving Student of the Month.

🏅🛷⛷️🏒At the beginning of February, the 5th-8th grade peer stem class came together and participated in the Winter Olympics challenge, replicating the Olympics that just occurred. Coached by Ms. Smith and Mrs. Jackson, the students competed in bobsledding, skiing, ski-jumping, hockey, and speed-skating.
The soft skills including teamwork, engagement, and rule-following came into play immensely. This activity also promoted global awareness. The students enjoyed participating and it brought joy to those who watched the events. 💜💛

🇺🇸 Last week, 4th grade students stepped back in time and brought their learning to life during American Revolution Day. After researching an important figure from the American Revolution, students created plastic bottle biography figures. They also crafted their own invisible ink messages, and worked together to solve a secret message from George Washington. Some students also tried writing their names using a quill pen, gaining a new appreciation for how challenging communication was in the 1700s.
The day was filled with creativity, curiosity, and meaningful historical learning. Thank you to our teachers for creating an engaging experience that truly brought history to life for our students! 💜💛

Students in Mrs. Hofer and Mrs. Lueders’ 5th grade WIN group recently took part in an engaging project-based learning experience focused on creating their very own food truck businesses. Working in partners, students blended creativity with real-world math skills as they designed menus, set prices, practiced budgeting, and explored marketing strategies.
As part of the experience, students met with Mrs. Linda Jacobsen, a local food truck owner, who shared valuable insight into what it takes to start and run a food truck business. She spoke candidly about the rewards and challenges of entrepreneurship, what customers look for, and the items her family’s truck, The Hutt, offers.
To wrap up the project, students will design a display and present their food truck concepts to their peers. There is even hope of featuring one of their menu items so classmates can truly experience what their food truck has to offer! This hands-on, real-world learning opportunity is such a cool experience for our students, bringing creativity, collaboration, and practical skills together in an unforgettable way.
