Our 6th, 7th, and 8th grade bands all earned Superior (1) ratings at the recent NEIBA Large Group Band Festival! The judges were very complimentary of our students for their performances and professional behavior on stage, as well as how well they accepted constructive feedback. Awesome job, Sabers!

Last week, Mrs. Waleszonia’s class made their own pizza as part of a month-long, themed lesson. The class used pizza to learn about a variety of things such as fractions, counting, money skills, following directions, and language and speaking skills. They also celebrated National Pizza Day. What a delicious and fun way to learn!

Congratulations to our Central DeWitt Saber Archery Club Head Coach Ed Vance who received the Iowa NASP Coach of the Year award! This award is a voted award and given to the coach with the best “Tell us why this coach deserves coach of the year” answer. Head Coach Vance received approximately 60 votes! Well deserved!

We are in need of one regular route bus driver and multiple substitute bus drivers. Our bus drivers are an important part of the Saber family who ensure the safe transportation of our students to and from school and school-related activities.
Starting pay for drivers is $19.48/hr. Entry Level Driver Training (ELDT) is required to obtain a Class B CDL with air brake. School bus and passenger endorsements will be provided at no cost by the school district and we will also reimburse DOT physical and licensing fees.
The best part about this job though – being a part of the Saber family and making a difference in the lives of our students! For more information or to apply, please contact Brent Rheingans, Operations Director, at brent.rheingans@cd-csd.org.

This week Mrs. Burbach’s and Mr. Grell’s students learned life-saving skills thanks to the Iowa National Guard and a national program called “Stop the Bleed.” This is a bleeding control program designed to increase the survival rate of people who experience life-threatening blood loss. Students learned how to apply tourniquets, pack wounds and other critical information to treat significant injuries.
Students also participated in team-building activities where they learned problem-solving skills and the importance of good communication. Thank you to SGT Lauren Ludwig, SFC Kyle Inman, SPC Brandon Walker, and SSG Jason A. Nemeth for sharing these valuable lessons with our students!
