Along the way, they even discovered Mr. Waterbury’s turtle, Shelly, hiding out in the garden as they raked.
We are so grateful for these hardworking Sabers and the way they came together to make a difference. A special thank you goes out to Mr. Penningroth and Mrs. Flathers for all their planning and logistical support to make the day possible.

School board members play a significant role in their communities, and they must possess strong leadership, vision, and dedication. They are charged with accountability for student learning, determining educational goals, setting policy, overseeing school finances, and more.
School board service is a meaningful way to support not only students and staff but also the future success of Central DeWitt. Although board members serve four-year terms without pay, most who serve say it is one of the most fulfilling ways to give back to their community.
“Free public education, available for all of the young people of our community, is a noble tradition of our state and probably the most important thing local government can provide,” said CDCSD Board Member Roger Hill. “Knowing, seeing, and being a part of what is going on with our faculty, staff, students, and community is a rewarding privilege. Young people are the future. A school director can have influence on the direction of our district, representing students, faculty, community, and taxpayers.”
CDCSD has two seats up for election on November 4. Nominations for open seats can be filed between August 25 and September 18. School board candidates must obtain 50 signatures to be eligible. Nomination papers are available from the county auditor’s office, the Secretary of State’s website (https://sos.iowa.gov/school-elections), or from Board Secretary Sarah Johnston at:
Central DeWitt Administration Center
1010 4th Avenue East
Door 15

Whether you're considering a run for school board or just want to learn more, the IASB Candidate Webinar Series is a great starting point. These one-hour sessions provide practical guidance, legal insights, and essential knowledge of governance. All webinars are held from noon–1 p.m. via Zoom, are free, and will be recorded.
Upcoming Sessions
• Aug. 13: Running for the School Board 101
• Sept. 3: Legal & Ethical Campaigns for the School Board
• Sept. 24: The Building Blocks of Financial Advocacy
• Oct. 15: Student Learning: Do Boards Really Make a Difference?
For information on the rewards of board service, campaign finance disclosure law, conflict of interest, key dates, webinars, and candidate education, visit www.ia-sb.org/getonboard.
We hope you’ll consider stepping up to serve our students, staff, and community in this impactful role.
