Changes Include Working A-C, More Security & Superintendent's Shaved Head
On the first day of school last Friday, parents escort their children to Mary Lynch Elementary School in Kimball. In the smaller photo, Superintendent Trevor Anderson shows off his bald dome.
The first day of school for Kimball students and staff was unique and fun. School spirit was everywhere. At the Kimball Jr./Sr. High School, Superintendent Trevor Anderson had agreed to have his head shaved if grades 7-12 achieved their testing goals for the spring of 2023, and they did!
Julia Winstrom, Aspyn Kiefer and Grace Anderson did the shaving. Anderson said he had not received a haircut all summer and won't have to get another haircut for a few months.
The first day was filled with scavenger hunts, pie-eating contests, and rules reviews for grades 7-12.
Many changes have occurred over the summer for both schools. No more heat days are scheduled as the air conditioning in both schools is working, a necessary upgrade, and will improve the educational environment and the daily consistency.
Physical changes include both sites adding a security vestibule, new floors and driveway repairs.
New 2023-24 school year teachers include FFA advisor and Ag instructor Emily Sowards, Taryn Reader will teach Science, Virginia Splichal, and Kathleen Winckler will teach English Language Arts.
