Joyce Schulte Visits Storm Lake Schoolby 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
