Joyce Schulte Visits Storm Lake School
by Joyce Schulte
Greetings……..I
had a marvelous day recently in a 3rd grade class. Jan McKenna,
Storm Lake, invited me to spend “the entire day” in her classroom and I
took her up on the invitation.
What a
great experience it is to watch 25 very energized 3rd graders learning
lessons on reading, editing, math, strategies to remember! It is
also tremendous to hear their questions on “What does it mean when you
say you're wanting to be our Congressperson?”
Our
government simply must understand, and then work to enable, the future
through the educated mind. The purpose of education is to ignite the
fire within the mind. Our future medicines and inventions will
come from the curious and the educated minds.
I
applaud Jan McKenna, the Storm Lake school district, and all the kids
in West Elementary school. I also applaud all other teachers who
lead our state to the future. Now, let's put someone in Congress
who understands.
Joyce Schulte, Candidate, 5th District, Iowa
