By Ken Allsup, OskyNews.org/ Contributing Writer At times it’s the youngest among us that help to teach us the most valuable lessons. A group of students at Oskaloosa Middle School have been working since January to write a personal note to every student at the middle school, over 500 in all. The students responsible for the notes are also part of group that helped to bring ‘Kindness Day’ to OMS last year. ‘Kindness Day’ found its roots in 2012 when OMS School Counselor Amanda Hoffman took a group of students to the governors 1st Annual Bullying Prevention Conference. Ruby Johnson, OMS student and one of those who attended the 1st Annual Bullying Prevention Conference, said, “The locker notes are a follow-up to last year’s Kindness Day. It’s important that random acts of kindness happen all the time. The locker notes let everyone have a reminder of why they matter and are important.” Hoffman said that the students used their Media Center time to write a personal note, addressed to a specific individual “and contains words of encouragement and praise directed to the specific student”. OMS students arrived to school on Wednesday to find the yellow notes attached to their locker. Hoffman said that, “Another group of students completed a similar project earlier this year”. “The goal is to encourage random acts of kindness and caring in our school.”
By Ken Allsup, OskyNews.org/ Contributing Writer The Mahaska County Board of Superiors continues the process of hiring a new county engineer after not extending the current engineers contract. During this week, supervisors met with applicants in open session, where they asked questions of leadership style, techniques in repairs and construction of roadways, working with outside entities such as communities within the county and civic and business groups. They also asked questions of a more personal note, such as family. In turn, candidates could ask the supervisors about policy, community and other opportunities that might impact their decision to come to Mahaska County. Mahaska County Supervisor Mike Vander Molen said that the current interview process will be followed up by feedback from the community, “people that have a vested interest in who we hire”. The supervisors will then meet to further discuss the candidates. After all the considerations are weighed and a decision made, a contract will be offered to the winning candidate. “Once we come to terms with that applicant, I think we’ll probably do a three year contract”, which would take effect July 1, 2014.

The L.E.A.P. (Leadership, Empowerment, Achievement, Progress) Academy was created in March, 2013 with the goal, “To inspire future leaders who care about the success of the 10–county region and to empower them with the knowledge that they can make a positive difference in what our region can achieve as we move forward.” The academy is geared toward high school students. Learners
where you feel as though you’re talking to a real person and “not someone who just memorized a bunch of facts”. Weinreich, who had never taught or advised on debate, took up the task when she first arrived at OHS 6 years ago. “I’ve learned a lot with the kids” says Weinreich. With the experiences of both advisor and students growing year-byyear, Weinreich sees the team getting stronger year-by-year. Benefits to students who participate in debate is found in learning to research. “No one gets excited about research” says Weinreich, “but as they dig into things, they think of research of ‘How can we get
the other guys?’, so then it doesn’t feel like research anymore. Then comes that confidence and ability to articulate themselves and confidently stand in front of a group of people and talk back-and-forth about what can sometimes be sensitive issues.” MaKennah says there is a measure of pressure now to make it to nationals in the upcoming years since she has achieved that level as a sophomore. “I’m kind of nervous for next year”, says MaKennah. “Because if I don’t make it, I’ll feel kind of weird.” MaKennah will be traveling to Kansas City for nationals for 5 days of debate June 15th-20th.
Nationals Ahead....................Continued from Page 1 enter the program in the spring semester of their junior year and continue through the fall semester of their senior year. The students meet at Indian Hills a total of six times, three times in the spring and three times in the fall. Over the course of the summer, students complete a service project in their community. Every school district in the Indian Hills 10–county region is eligible to send up to three students to participate in the program.
During their on–campus meetings, students engage in a variety of hands–on activities designed to help them develop their leadership skills in the following areas: team building, goal setting, ethics, creativity, communication, handling conflict, problem solving, servant leadership, and leading change. Amy Griffin, Paige Hoffer, Samantha Edmundson will be attending for the North Mahaska School District.

By Kathy Street On March 10, it was the annual celebration of our district’s bands. After the opportunity to enjoy a supper in the cafeteria, put on by the EBF Music Boosters and students, the gym began to fill. The evening of songs began with the youngest folk - the 5th graders, under the direction of Dezirae Russell and Robin Wendlend, playing “BINGO” and “Power Rock”. These two directors followed up with their 6th grade students, who performed “Royal March” and “Rock of Gibraltar”. The middle school concert band, under Dezirae’s direction, brought three numbers - “Valley Forge”, “Pinnacle”, and “Acclamations”. With the volume building, Mr. Joe Overton oversaw his high school concert band with energetic renditions of “The Mission”, “In the Presence of Heroes”, “Out West!”, and “Tsunami”.
