Ms. Garrity will be honored at the Art Educators of Iowa Fall Conference in Cedar Falls on October 10th. With 26 years of teaching experience — 20 of those right here at Central DeWitt — she has inspired generations of Sabers through her creativity, passion, and dedication.
As a National Board Certified Teacher in Art (the highest honor an educator can achieve) and one of only 17 National Art Education Association Connected Arts Networks Teacher Leaders nationwide, her excellence is recognized across the country. What we value most is the way she uplifts and encourages her students and colleagues, leads with excellence, and serves as a true inspiration every single day.
She also extends her love of teaching art to the community as the owner of The Fountain House Art Studio and Gallery. In addition, Ms. Garrity is an accomplished illustrator, having brought books to life with her artwork — often using her two sons as inspiration and subjects.
Please join us in congratulating Ms. Garrity on this incredible, well-deserved honor! 💜💛

Scanning cards helps us:
✅ Keep accurate records of who’s on the bus for safety
✅ Prevent delays when drivers would otherwise need to enter names manually
✅ Build the most efficient routes for all students
📲 Consistent card use also opens the door to new tools like the parent app, which will give families real-time updates about their child’s bus.
How you can help:
• Remind your child to carry their bus card every day.
• Students with phones can snap a picture of their badge and scan from the photo.
• Lanyards or card holders make scanning quick and easy.
If a card is lost, please contact Transportation Secretary Laura Meyer at 📞 (563) 659-0706 or 📧 laura.meyer@cd-csd.org
💜💛 Together, we can keep transportation safe, efficient, and reliable for all Saber families!

✨ We’re proud to announce Laurie Wildes is this year’s Grand Marshal! For more than 30 years, Mrs. Wildes has dedicated herself to Central DeWitt in countless roles—always with positivity, selflessness, and unwavering Saber pride. She has supervised the bleachers at football games for over three decades, missing only one Friday night to attend her daughter’s rehearsal dinner. 💜 Incredible!
🍴 Don’t forget - before the parade, swim on over to the DeWitt Farmers Market for pork chop sandwiches and hot dogs served by The Education Foundation and the DeWitt Nite Lions. Proceeds benefit educator grants that enhance learning opportunities for our students!
