ANOTHER GREAT YEAR! GOODBYE TO GREAT STAFF I just want to take a moment to celebrate our staff members who are taking positions in our districts next year. It is always sad to lose great people – and difficult to replace them. I have appreciated their generosity, their passion, their compassion, and their dedication to the students, staff and communities of Collins-Maxwell. We are better for knowing them, and we are wise to keep them as friends even as they leave us as colleagues. INTRODUCTION OF NEW 6-12 PRINCIPAL, JORDAN NELSON As the new 6-12 Principal at Collins-Maxwell, I am extremely excited to get started on a new endeavor for myself and a new school year! I have had some great interaction with staff, students, parents, and community members already, and I look forward to meeting many more of you as my time here goes on. My wife Shelly and I live in Pleasant Hill. We have 4 kids, Alyson, Hunter, Hailey, and Luther and cherish our time we get with them. We travel a lot, mainly because her family is from Mason City and mine are in Wisconsin (go Badgers!). This year marks my 12th year as an educator. My first four years consisted of teaching Elementary and High School Phys Ed as well as a Career Planning course at SCMT (Sheffield). I was also Athletic Director, Head Boys Basketball and Girls Track Coach, Assistant Varsity Football Coach and taught drivers' education. In year five, we entered into a whole-grade share agreement with a neighboring district to form West Fork, where I was for another four years. I taught middle school Computer Apps and Health and continued coaching. For the past three years, I have been the Dean of Students and Head Boys Basketball Coach at Carlisle High School. My educational opportunities have been great, and I expect a lot of those great experiences at Collins-Maxwell! Go Raiders! ~ Jordan Nelson (Mr. Nelson will begin working some in July, so please call to stop in and introduce yourself. We will certainly welcome him during our Open house events in August.) JOBS TO HIRE:

Media Center associate for MS-HS in Maxwell (starting in August) SUPERINTENDENT OFFICE SUMMER HOURS: The district office in Maxwell will be open from 8 AM to 4 PM on Mondays through Thursdays during the months of June and July. We will be closed on Fridays. We return to normal five-day weeks in August. ~ Jason

End of the Year Poem

You are a very special person and you should know, how I loved to have you in my care, how fast the year did go!

Please come back to visit me as through the grades you go, try hard to learn all that you can, there is so much to know!

One thing I tried to teach you to last your whole life through

is to know that you are special just because you are you!

Notes From The Nurse

Kindergarten and Freshmen Parents: It is a requirement that all kindergarten and freshmen students have a dental screening completed. The purpose of the screening is to improve oral health of Iowa’s children by early detection and treatment of dental disease. Also to promote the importance of oral health for readiness and learning! A screening can be completed at your dentist this summer. Please ask your dentist to fill out the Dental Screening Form and send it to the school. Any visit to the dentist in the last year counts towards this requirement.

Immunization records: Please send in updated immunization forms after each vaccination. It is a state law that all students are up to date on their immunizations. *Preschool students cannot attend preschool without an up-to-date immunization form on file. * 7th grade students are required to have an up to date Tdap. If your child has not been immunized, please contact your physician’s office to schedule this immunization before the start of the 2015-2016 school year.

Sick policy: Please remember to keep your child home if they have the following symptoms: Fever (100.0 or higher), vomiting or diarrhea within the last 24 hours, and/or red, mattery eye(s). The child needs to be fever free for 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medication (Tylenol/Ibuprofen). I will make a phone call to you if I feel your student is not able to stay in school. Please keep the offices updated on any phone number changes.

Med Policy: All medications are to be kept in the nurse’s office in a locked cabinet. If your child needs to take a medication at school, have them bring it to the nurse before school starts for the day. There will be over the counter medication available also. These medications are: Tylenol, Ibuprofen, cough drops, Tums, and topical lotions/creams. Students will only receive these if parents have consented for their child to have these medications. The nurse will do a thorough assessment and based the assessment findings the nurse will decide whether over the counter medications are needed or not. Students are allowed up to 5 combined doses of Ibuprofen and/or Tylenol throughout the school year.

Community Hands Only CPR Class When: Monday June 15 Time: 4pm-8pm: 15 minute classes Place: Wright Learning Center, Colins, IA Cost: $5 What: Hands Only CPR training class: Hands Only CPR is without mouth-mouth breaths. Hands Only CPR is a two-step process, focused on compressions only, to save someone’s life. This class is geared toward non-medical personal that have never been taught CPR. Jill Peters, the Collins-Maxwell School Nurse, will offer this class. Please become part of the movement to train 300,000 people, in the Des Moines area, in Hands Only CPR by 2020. If you are interested please call Jill Peters and sign up for a 15-minute time slot. The class will only be 15 minutes long. Thank you for being proactive in savings someone’s life! Jill Peters 515-681-3337

The students K-5 participated in iMile. They ran, jogged, or walked one mile around the track at the Elementary. Our community had the opportunity to pledge money towards this event. We raised $630 that will be used to help the children and families at Blank Children’s Hospitals through the Child Life Department! Thank you so much for everyone that was able to contribute!

ChaMps News

Prom is a fun time for high school students, but it can also be a dangerous time. The Collins-Maxwell ChaMps group organized a mock accident to bring awareness to the dangers of drinking and driving during graduation and prom season. ChaMps worked for close to two months with the help of Story County YSS to put the event together. The Story County Sheriff's Office, Bacon Funeral Home, Ness Towing, Maxwell First Responders, C-M staff, and many parents helped to make the event a success.

Paramedics load senior Taylor Charron onto a stretcher.

A Story County Deputy gives sophomore Creighton Caple a sobriety test.

The Coroner and a Deputy prepare to move junior Brady Stover's body into a body bag.

Maxwell first responders tend to Senior Lindsey Page as she watches the coroner tend to her deceased boyfriend.

Collins-Maxwell staff carry Brady Stover's coffin. Wes Stover speaks at his son's mock funeral.

The afternoon started with a lunch for students, parents, grandparents and friends followed by our opening The Olympic Fanfare is played as the students’ parade around the track. Then a welcome to everyone, the National Anthem, sung by the elementary choir and then on to the activities. As always, they were well attended and enjoyed by a big crowd.

Music & Band News

With   funding   from   our   sponsorship   drive   this   year,  the  Collins-­‐Maxwell  Music  Booster  Club  purchased  “new-­‐to-­‐us”  platform  risers  for  the  choir  room  and  a  *BRAND  NEW*  clavinova!    The  platform  risers  are  already  being  used  each  day  in  the  choir  room  but  can  also  be  easily  transported  into  new  locations  for  events  like  our  annual  Lasagna  Dinner.  We  purchased   a   set   of   30   pieces   that   can   all   be   interlocked  together   as   shown   above.     They   are   already   proving   to   be  sturdier  and  safer  than  our  old  ones  and  help  us  to  use  our  space   more   efficiently   as   the   choir   continues   to   grow   in  enrollment!  

Thank  You,  Music  Booster  Sponsors!

The   clavinova   is   an   electronic   keyboard  (shown   on   the   left)   that   doesn’t   require   the  annual   maintenance   and   tuning   like   an   acoustic  does.    It   has   the   full   range   of   keys,   which   are  weighted  to  feel  like  real  piano  keys  as  well  as  the  traditional   pedal   options.     This   keyboard   also  features  several  bonus  functions  like  the  ability  to  transpose,   change   “voices”,   and   connect   to   a  computer.  THANK  YOU!  

6th  Grade  Honor  Band

On   March   26th,   select   band   students  traveled   to   North   Polk   High   School   to  perform   in   an   honor   band   with   other   area  schools.     The   schools   included:   North   Polk,  Bondurant-­‐Farrar,   Madrid,   Gilbert,   and  Collins-­‐Maxwell.     Students   rehearsed   all  afternoon   and   then   gave   a   concert   in   North  Polk’s  auditorium.    Congratulations   to:  Drew  Jones,   Hannah   Leonard,   Mason   Markley,  Maddy   Meseke,   Rachael   Purdy,   and   Elise  Robertson   for   representing   our   school   so  well!

CONGRATULATIONS! This  year  at  State  Large  Group  Contest  on  Friday,  May  8  in  Grundy  Center,  both  the  High  School  Concert  Band  and  Concert  Choir  received  Division  II  ratings  of  “Excellent”  from  a  panel  of  three  expert  judges.    The  students  performed  at  a  very  high  level  and  conducted  themselves  at  an  even  higher  one,  representing  Collins-­‐Maxwell  with  pride.    Great  job!

RAIDER PRIDE!

CMB Athletic Boosters Report

The Booster Club would like to thank everyone for their support during the 2014-2015 school year. We were able to donate a total of $25,000 to the CMB athletic program. We are already working on events for the 2015 – 2016 year. There will be several changes. We will NOT have the football jersey auction this fall during Homecoming and we will NOT be hosting the CMB Booster Basketball Tournament in January. To supplement these fundraisers we have some new events to look forward to. Our first event will be the CMB Raider Fest scheduled for August 29, 2015 in Collins. Meet, greet and participate in games run by your CMB Athletes. There will be games for all ages. The Booster Club will be selling tickets for the event soon, pre-event 5 tickets /$1.00 and day of the event 4 tickets / $1.00. Watch for further information! Our goal is to have a fun filled event for our THREE communities to come together and show our RAIDER PRIDE! We will also be sponsoring a Monday Night Football Squares. Your $20.00 donation will enter you in all 17 Monday Night Football games, one Thanksgiving Day game, the IOWA / ISU game and the CMB Homecoming game for the 2015 season. You will have a chance to will $10, $15 or $25 each week. To win you will need to match the number on the front of your booklet with the halftime and/or final score of the games. Next winter we will be hosting a Booster Bash for adults only. This will be a fun night of food, drinks, music, tentative silent and live auction and other entertainment. Please watch for more information in the near future. As in the past we will have a CMB Boosters Sponsorship Drive. You can be a CMB Sponsor for as little at $25.00 up to $500.00. We are changing the Sponsorship slightly for the 2015-2016 year so watch for updated information. As always we are looking for volunteers to help keep this group a success. We need assistance with the CMB Raider Fest, Booster Bash, Sponsorships, concessions (ordering food, cleaning the stands, stocking the stands, scheduling workers, etc.) and CMB clothing sales. We meet the second Wednesday of every month at 7:00 pm alternating between Baxter and Maxwell. Please JOIN US! Watch our Facebook page and website http://e29995.wix.com/cmbboosters for updates.
