Good News

Superintendent Collins introduced Lew Linde and Chris Koop, from Hastings Family Services. Hastings Family Services celebrated their 40th anniversary in the community this past year and celebrated this accomplishment by publishing a book about the programs they have been able to start and the people they have been able to touch as a result. Ms. Koop and Mr. Linde donated copies of the book which will be available for students to check out at all of the school libraries in the district. In addition, Ms. Koop and Mr. Linde thank the school board for their willingness to couple with Hastings Family Services on a wide range of projects, including but not limited to the penny drive, that over the past year has benefited over 357 students in the district.

Superintendent's Report

• Mr. Collins gave a brief overview of enrollment numbers for the start of the school year have increased slightly over projects that were made last year. This is due largely to increases at the Kindergarten Level.

• Mr. Collins informed board members that he met for about an hour earlier in the week with all six of the individuals who are running for school board this fall. He was happy to report that all six of them are in favor of renewing the existing levy that is before the voters on Tuesday, November 8th.
