💜💛 Congratulations to Ekstrand Elementary Art Teacher Ms. Janaszak who was chosen as The American Legion of Iowa’s 2023 Educator of the Year! She was nominated by Jessica Sunday through the Eugene McManus American Legion Post #238. Ms. Janaszak was awarded for going “above and beyond by promoting the aims and purposes of The American Legion of Iowa, serving as a role model, and instilling patriotism and Americanism in our youth.” If you haven’t seen the incredible art projects Ms. Janaszak does to honor veterans, make sure you check out the photos. What a great honor and well deserved! We’re so proud to have you as part of our Saber family, Ms. Janaszak! #gosabers #centraldewittcsd #ekstrandelementary #theamericanlegionofiowa #2023educatoroftheyear #saberpride #saberssucceeding

💜💛 It's National School Nurse Day! School nurses are not only critical to all aspects of student health but also in making sure our staff is prepared to handle medical emergencies. Our nurses understand the important link between health and successful learning which is evident in the time they devote and the quality of care they provide! Thank you for all you do Sarah Berner, Ann Bixby and Mackenzie Riedesel! #gosabers #centraldewittcsd #cdhs #cdms #cdis #ekstrandelementary #schoolnurses #nationalschoolnurseday2023 #thankyouforallyoudo

Congratulations to Assistant Superintendent Jen Vance who was a finalist for the 2023 Iowa Central Office Administrator of the Year Award!

We are lucky to have her and this recognition is definitely well-deserved! #gosabers #centraldewittcsd #iowacentralofficeadministratoroftheyearfinalist #saberssucceeding #saberpride

Unified members from 5th and 6th grade partnered with students from Ekstrand Elementary to assist them with different activities developed to help the students learn skills needed for when they are old enough to participate in Special Olympics sports. Both the Unified members and the young athletes enjoyed being together for the event and having lunch from Subway. #gosabers #centraldewittcsd #cdis #ekstrandelementary #specialolympics #unifiedmembers #futureathletes
