Iowa State University Extension and Outreach Horticulture Specialists. The class meets on Tuesday evenings

The Readlyn Community Club (RCC) met for a regular meeting on Thursday, October 11, at the Center Inn.
WV Superintendent, Chad Garber, shared information
and answered questions about the proposed maintenance and renovation project at Wapsie Valley Jr./Sr.
High School. This election will be held on December
4, 12:00 noon – 8:00pm at the Jr./Sr. High School. The
total cost of the improvements is estimated to be
$1,803,000. A future question and answer session is
scheduled for Tuesday, November 13, Readlyn Elementary, at 7:00pm. Contact Mr. Garber at the high
school for additional locations and dates.
Thank you for supporting the Spaghetti Dinner fundraiser for the Chronicle. It was a huge success with a
net total of $1,922.24 raised for publications costs.
The RCC understands the popularity of this all volunteer publication and will continue to raise funds to support it. The Chronicle does need someone to handle
the advertising billing, which includes letters to business owners for sponsorship ads, and other ads purchased. Please call Charlie Albrecht or Ron Leistikow
if you would be willing to spend a couple of hours doing bookkeeping to keep our local paper going.
RCC hosted a lunch for the Get Energized, Iowa!
Green Bike Tour on Sunday, October 7 at the ball park.
Verdeen Pavelec, Delores Meier, Wilda Albrecht, and
Judith Leistikow made homemade pies for the bikers.
The number of riders was small because of the
weather, but they made sure the pie effort was not
wasted.
The bike ride efforts moved the Readlyn/Fairbank
team to #1. Unfortunately, as of October 17, Dike is
leading by 255 points. Details are available at http://
getenergizediowa.org/.
Three ways we can regain the lead: 1) Fill out the 25
Steps Under $25 and 2) Plan of Action forms. We get
points for every step completed on the Plan of Action.
Both forms are available at City Hall or call Louie
Hartman. 3) Post survey forms will soon be available at
City Hall. The prize: $10,000 solar panels installed at
the Jr./Sr. High School. Let’s go, Wapsie Valley Team!
RCC would also like to express appreciation for the
improved can handling in the Fireworks Drop Boxes.
Thank you for putting your glass bottles in boxes and
keeping the cans in bags.
The RCC Executive Board is working on a ballot for
next year. Two directors and a vice president are
needed. Jason Franck moves up to become president,
Jen Aiello has offered to stay on as secretary for a third
year, and Andy Sexton will remain treasurer for a
fourth year. The new directors will join Taylor Anderson and Sheila Rosengarten. This is an AWESOME
group to work with. They are very busy people that
want to make Readlyn the best place to raise their
young families. We also ask the many loyal, older
residents that can offer invaluable expertise, time, baking skills and tradition to become active. Give me a
call to talk about it at 319-239-0533.
Louie Hartman, President

It’s been a busy fall for everyone – including me!
Remember fall leaf burning October 1st through November 15th. Please be considerate of your neighbors when
burning. Also, if you don’t want to burn your leaves,
you can take them to the sewer plant and add your leaves
to either the leaf compost pile or branch and leaf burning
pile.
The City Council will be working on their NIMS
(National Incident Management System) Training. This
is a course in emergency response procedures. The
Mayor and all of the City Council members will participate in this training that is provided by Kip Ladage. Kip
is responsible for the Bremer County Emergency Response program and the training.
I’ve been busy working with interested individuals
relating to the sale of the city lots that are available for
building. The city has lots available. If you or someone
you know is interested, please contact Lois, at the City
Hall. We are very interested in working with you!
Along with that, I’m very happy to see that many of
the previously empty homes are being bought and or
being renovated and prepared for sale. It makes everyone happy to have all of our homes filled with happy
families.
I give a big hearty “Welcome” to all of the new members of our community. We are happy to have you as
our neighbors. If you have any questions or suggestions
or if you need help with anything, please feel free to call
the City Hall and let us know, we are happy to help and
very happy to have you as members of Readlyn.
The city has completed the tree trimming around town,
in preparation for snow removal. Thanks to those of you
that took care of your own tree trimming, we are very
grateful for your help.
You may have noticed that Jim and Barney have been
replacing some street signs. This was required by law,
due to the reflective quality of the signs.
Barney also flushed the hydrants and everything went
well with that process.
It’s that time of year, be sure to get out and vote on
Tuesday, November 6th, 2012. Remember to vote for
your city, state and national representatives.
Also, be sure to attend all of the delicious fall dinners
in our community. We have been blessed with many
fantastic cooks and I look forward the all of the delicious
fall meals at all of our churches. Enjoy!
Have a Safe - Bootiful Halloween and enjoy this fantastic colorful fall!

Community Lutheran School News
Brian Young, an internationally known speaker and
author, will speak at the Immanuel Lutheran School
gymnasium in Klinger at 7:00pm on Monday, November
19. This event is open to the public! Brian was a
teacher and principal for ten years before becoming director of Creation Instruction Association. He has been
speaking on the topic of creation and Biblical authority
for 20 years, doing debates at Universities, going into
prisons, and sharing at churches, schools, and camps
around the world. He uses the Bible as the foundation for
science and education. Mr. Young will also be speaking
to the students at 1:00pm on the 19th if you would like to
attend this session.
On Friday, September 14, Community Lutheran
School PreK - 8th grades took an all school field trip to
the Maize Maze and the Gilbertson Nature Center in
Elgin. This year’s theme was “The Bicycle and The
River." We spent the entire day learning about different
kinds of corn, farm machinery, the history of farming,
how to read a map, and much more!
What a fall we had; the leaves were beautiful. We are
lucky we didn't have to go 100 miles to see them.
On the 25th of September the community club had a
spaghetti fund raiser supper for the forum paper. I
helped from 4:30-6:00. The people were just starting to
come. They had a great meal: spaghetti, 4 or 5 different
pizzas, salad, garlic bread, and 3 or 4 different makes of
cookies, and drink. Free will offering.
It costs a lot to print the paper and in order to keep it
coming free, we have to help any way we can. The
volunteer people who put it together do a great job. We
are so fortunate that we have people who are so talented. If there is something you are interested in doing
speak up. I'm sure they will put you to work.
I have attended a few football and volleyball
games. That is about the only time I see the greatgrandchildren They are so busy.
I want to thank every one for the cards, calls, and
internet birthday wishes. When you're my age it takes
about a week to celebrate.
Since being the grump I have never seen the months
go so fast. My letter must be in by the 15th, and then
you start all over again. I had a dream the other night I
had my news letter written. The next morning I came
out to the computer, and no letter showed up. Yep, I
couldn't remember what it was about, so what you read
is what you get.
There are a lot of church dinners coming up, so, if
possible, try to attend to savor the good food, see some
of your friends you have not seen for a while, and support the churches.
Soon we will be into November and things really get
hectic.

Thank You
I had a wonderful time celebrating my 104th birthday. I want to thank everyone who remembered me
with flowers, beautiful cards, gifts, phone calls, and
visits. You are all special to me.
God Bless You,
Esther Wittenburg
It's already the end of October; man how time flies
when you're busy. I hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful weather while it lasts because soon it'll be too cold!
I have been super busy lately; I have a new job at the
Readlyn Kwik Star and I love it! I am also keeping busy
with all of my school work and preparing for college. As
I now think about it, is not so far away. Where has the
time gone?
I hope everyone has been keeping up on all of the awesome things happening in our school district. The volleyball team won their first round and played second round
against Sumner. Football had their first round Wednesday
the 24th, and Abrah Meyer went to state for cross country
the 27th. Also, the FFA Parliamentary Procedure team
went to Nationals in Indianapolis the week of the 22nd
through the 27th. This is the second year in a row, and
the third time in four years that our FFA has made it to
Nationals. Congrats to all teams and participants.
Some community happenings have been going on; it's
that time of year for all of the fall dinners at the churches.
Also trick or treating was the 28th from 4-6. Harriet the
Grump, Heather Sommerfeldt, and myself enjoyed handing out candy at the Readlyn Library!
As William Shakespeare says, " Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and
some have greatness thrust upon them." Live up to the
greatness that you are given; make everyday count.
~Gabby Wittenburg

The St. Matthew & Zion confirmation students collected food on October 17 in Readlyn. We collected 584
pounds of food for His Hands Food Bank in Oran. The

contributions help many families in need. Thank you for
your generosity!
Dear Family, Friends, and all who have been a part of
Inspired:
I would just like to express my gratitude to all who
have helped to make Inspired possible-especially my
husband Jeremy, my family, and friends. I wouldn't be
where I am at without your love and support. There have
been many people who have put a lot of time and effort
into this business to help me get Inspired off the ground;
I can't thank you enough! I appreciate all of the support
from our community here in Readlyn as well as those
people from surrounding communities.
I would also like to thank all of you for the gifts, cards,
and words of encouragement at my Grand Opening and
the start of my business. It all means a great deal to me
and there aren't enough words of gratitude to express my
appreciation to all of you. If you haven't made it into
Inspired yet, I look forward to "Inspiring" you! Thanks
so much! Kim Brown

Library’s Annual Book Fair scheduled for November 12 - 17th!
We invite you to visit our Scholastic Book Fair and experience a celebration of reading that provides families
the opportunity to get involved in a universal mission: encouraging kids to read every day so they can lead
better lives. Our Scholastic Book Fair theme – All-Star Book Fair: Every Reader Is a Star! – is part of an
exciting reading event that brings a wonderful selection of fun, engaging, and affordable books kids want to
read. Giving kids access to good books and the opportunity to choose their own books will motivate them to
read more. And like most acquired skills, the more kids practice reading, the better they’ll get.
Reading is vital to every child’s success, and raising kids as readers means getting involved while they’re
young. Now is the time. Since there will never be a substitute for a parent’s direct involvement in his/her
child’s education, please make plans to visit our Book Fair. Hope to see you there!

Grandparents’ Day Celebrated at
Community Lutheran School
Community Lutheran School celebrated Grandparents’ Day on Friday, September 7 th.
Several parents and a large number of grandparents came to school to experience daily
classroom activities, numerous hands-on projects, and recess fun with their child/
grandchild.
The students were thrilled to have their grandparents participate in the various events.
Activities included making cookies, building with Legos, creating silly face bags, playing “Candy Land,” putting together an M&M puzzle, playing “Bingo” and other board
games, playing “Hang on Harvey,” and listening to the many stories the grandparents
told about what they did when they were the age of their grandchild. The two activities
that the children enjoyed the most were having their picture taken with grandparents
and singing a specially prepared song. The grandparents also joined their grandchild for
lunch.

Words from the Founder
The Wapsie Valley Education Foundation (WVEF) started with a deep love for education and also a deep love for this community. WVEF began in 2002. It was necessary to
get both state and federal permits for the foundation. The state permits were easy, but
the federal permit was difficult since we received many letters always asking for more
information.
After all of the permits were obtained, I enlisted the help of these people: Ron
Leistikow, Barb Gruetzmacher, Mike Brandt, Mary Lou Billhorn, Ed Traeger, Paul Anton, Joey Rigdon, Sylvia Casterton, and Bob Bellis. We worked closely with Paul Bisgard, who was superintendent at the time, and Kurt Leistikow who volunteered his services as an attorney. These people helped with getting the community involved with the
process by generously contributing their time and efforts. They received no compensation except the enjoyment of being a part of this endeavor. I was the president for about
eight years, and all of the officers kept their position nearly as long. This shows that
they realized the importance of this organization.
WVEF provides both grants and scholarships to students and teachers. The enrichment grants provide funds to enable teachers and students learning opportunities that
otherwise may not be possible financially. The foundation has also awarded several
scholarships either from families or from WVEF. The scholarships have helped many
students further their education.
Generous amounts of money were given by many families, organizations, and businesses to help us get started. Not only are the contributions tax deductible, the money
donated stays right here in our community which makes people feel good about contributing.
It is my hope that the community will continue to support the Wapsie Valley Education Foundation by both generous contributions and also becoming personally involved.

The Practice of Fundraising for Kids and Teachers: Ten Great Years
by Sylvia Casterton
This year the Wapsie Valley Community Foundation (WVEF) is celebrating its
tenth anniversary. The members present that first board meeting in June of 2002
knew they wanted to promote education within the district. What could we do that
would add to the curriculums in place or allow the faculty to try new approaches? As
with many other things in this world it involved money.
One of the first things we did was to adopt a mission statement: "The mission of the
Wapsie Valley Education Foundation is to promote educational excellence by providing financial support and enhance the educational programs for all students of Wapsie
Valley School District and serve as a means to accept contributions, gifts, and bequests." Once that was established, the rest followed.
We had soup dinners after basketball games, grilling events for dinners, and auctions the first week school started. What we are doing now is holding one primary
fundraiser per year—a dinner with a silent and live auction held the Friday before
Thanksgiving.
The largest portion of our fundraising efforts goes toward the fulfilling of enrichment grants that teachers submit to us twice a year. Descriptions about a few of the
enrichment grants appear on page seven of this paper. A smaller portion of our
money is set aside each year in the WVEF endowment fund to sponsor special projects. We've utilized the endowment funds in the purchase of the playground equipment for the two elementary buildings’ preschool playgrounds. Another portion has
been used in the funding of WVEF scholarships.
I've used the phrase, "We Put the $$$ into Education," frequently in the past ten
years. Those $$$ are made possible by the generous contributions of individuals,
families, and businesses of Wapsie Valley as well as many donations from families
and individuals who no longer reside within the district. If you know of someone who
would like to contribute, please contact me or one of the board members. They are
Bob Bellis, Carlene Werner, Ed Traeger, Ron Leistikow, Chad VanDaele, Mary Lou
Billhorn, Kim Brown, Annette Hyde, Joey Rigdon, and Mischa Matthias with Chad
Garber, superintendent, as an advisory member and Kurt Leistikow as attorney. Contributions can also be sent to: Wapsie Valley Education Foundation, PO Box 203,
Fairbank, IA 50629.
Please think of this as “My opportunity
to give back. I can be generous”

Testimonials from Students and Teachers
Language, Art, and Technology: All in Kindergarten
Amy Sheppard is a kindergarten teacher at Readlyn Elementary. She has received a
few different items funded through the Wapsie Valley Education Foundation (WVEF).
Sheppard says, “I am so grateful for the WVEF!!”
She recently received a new Mimeo and a projector to go along with it. Sheppard is
still new to the program, but she uses the Mimeo to enhance math lessons and go over
the Scholastic News.
Another item she received is called Jolly Phonics, which helps students with basic
phonics concepts. In addition, she also received a program called Art Attack, which she
uses to teach art concepts.
Sheppard said she is excited to learn more about each program, but so far, she feels
the greatest impact has been the Jolly Phonics. “It really helps students learn their basic
letter sounds.”
Sheppard appreciates all the WVEF has done for her, her students, and all teachers;
she hopes others see the impact it has made. –Submitted by Brianna Cook
Brain Pop!
Technology is advancing all around us, especially in the classroom. Jody Edwards is
well aware of the changes going on in the library at Readlyn Elementary.
Recent funding by the Wapsie Valley Education Foundation (WVEF) helped her acquire more technology for elementary students in the library.
The (WVEF) paid for the yearly subscription for the computer program Brain Pop.
Brain Pop is an educational computer program which lets students enter into an educational world where they can design their own character and conduct educational activities on the computer. "The students are able to be much more engaged with this program," commented Edwards.
Another benefit of Brain Pop is that it is constantly updated to stay current with all
the changes going on in education.
Without the help of the (WVEF), this program would not be available to students. It
greatly enhances the students’ learning potential. –Submitted by Garett Hagenow
Mimeo Vote System: Assessment and Engagement Through Technology
The Mimeo Vote Assessment System lets students take tests and vote on different subjects, completely bypassing using paper. Luckily, this technology was granted to Mr.
Eberhard by funds from the WVEF.
Eberhard stated this provides an opportunity to provide an "eye catching" review session that gives students a new look on work. “I think most students have reacted positively as I have figured out ways to add the system to the curriculum of my classes. The
instant feedback that comes with this tool of technology is another major “selling point”
for using these in a classroom setting.”
"It makes it interesting for the whole class and gives us an opportunity to try new
technology," stated Sammy Rohlfsen, an eighth grade student.
From what I have heard and experienced myself, this system has made class more
engaging and also more interesting. I speak for most students and Mr. Eberhard when I
say that we are grateful for this system and we thank you, WVEF. –Submitted by
Jayden Johnson
Read, Read, Read!
Cheryl Kleitsch is a second grade teacher from the Wapsie Valley Elementary in Fairbank. She has used the funding from the Wapsie Valley Education Foundation (WVEF)
to get Guided Reading materials.
“The Guided Reading books have provided a leveled set of books to be used for small
group instruction,” stated Mrs. Kleitsch. “A set of books contains 5-6 copies of the same
title. It is a leveled library that ranges from very early level reading to harder books that
contain chapters.”
These books are a good way to give the students a “just right” book for them. It helps
them learn at their own level and pace.
Mrs. Kleitsch has definitely benefited from the funding. She will continue to use these
materials so that each student or small group of students can learn at their own level. –

Local Students Polish Parliamentary
Procedure Skills at National FFA Event
Gabby Wittenburg - Chapter Reporter
INDIANAPOLIS- The Wapsie Valley FFA Chapter competed in the National FFA
Parliamentary Procedure Career Development Event (CDE) during the 85 th National
FFA Convention in Indianapolis, Ind., October 22 – 27, 2012. Members of the team
were Lauren Ambrosy, Adam Bodensteiner, Sydney Cindrich, Brianna Cook, Shereese
Folsom, Garett Hagenow, Adam Joerger, and Alex Schmitz. The team is coached by
Ellen Doese and Ashley Beierschmitt.
“Participants in this event are given the opportunity to enhance knowledge and express mastery of parliamentary law while building strong teamwork, leadership, and
communication skills,” said Melissa Brown, CDE program manager.
Participants demonstrate their abilities to conduct orderly and efficient meetings, present logical and convincing discussions, and properly record meeting procedures. Each
team must take a written exam, conduct a ten minute demonstration, respond verbally to
parliamentary law questions, and prepare minutes from their demonstration.
Pre-school Programs: Playing to Learn
Tiffany McConnelee is a pre-school and Title 1 teacher at Readlyn Elementary. She
was one of the lucky teachers who benefitted from the WVEF grant program. She used
the money the WVEF gifted her three years ago toward purchasing the pre-school playground equipment at the new school. “It is a pre-school program requirement that they
have age-appropriate equipment that is fenced in for student safety,” explained McConnelee.
Since McConnelee helped start the new pre-school program at Wapsie, she used some
of the grant money toward a Leapfrog learning system and various other ageappropriate toys and games for the children. McConnelee believes the WVEF is a very
important program that played an essential role in starting the new pre-school program
at Readlyn. –Submitted by Ethan Kleitsch
Hablo Espanol? Si!
Mrs. Roberts, the Spanish teacher at Wapsie Valley High School, recently received a
grant from the WVEF, a foundation started by Carlene Werner to grant funding to district schools. The WVEF has donated over $100,000 to Wapsie schools and students.
Mrs. Roberts used this grant to get “Conversation in the Classroom” Spanish Videos.
“It [the Spanish videos] has given my students more opportunities to hear authentic
Spanish speakers,” Roberts explained. Her students watch the videos and then have conversations using their own grammar. Mrs. Roberts said this has changed learning in the
classroom because students were unable to listen to authentic speakers before. –

Supported the Whole Student: Physical Fitness
The Wapsie Valley Education Foundation (WVEF) has supported Wapsie Valley for
numerous years. They have purchased new equipment for the school and have bought
numerous items for teachers and staff members.
The WVEF bought hand weights for elementary physical education teacher Brian
Weepie’s classes to use every day for warm up exercises to increase upper body
strength.
“The kids learn what muscles to use during specific lifts and how to do the lifts properly,” Weepie explained. “The kids were performing poorly on their pull-ups during
physical fitness, which is given twice during the school year,” Weepie stated. The implementation of weight lifting during class warm-ups has improved the strength of our
elementary students immensely.
A big thank you goes out to the WVEF for giving teachers the opportunity to purchase
not only the hand weights but numerous other items used by students throughout the
whole school system. –Submitted by BJ Weepie
Take Home Readers Help Kids Practice
The Wapsie Valley Education Foundation (WVEF) made contributions to help pay for
new take-home readers for the rural schools.
The take home books have helped the students in many different ways. “These new
take-home readers are helping our students bridge the gap of background knowledge
needed to understand what is being read,” noted Amy Buzynski, a teacher at rural
school #4.
These books have bright, new pictures that connect to the characters in the book. “The
students are so delighted when new books come in,” said Buzynski. These books help
the students get a better understanding of the world around them and what is happening
in the books.
Amy Buzynski and the rest of the rural teachers really appreciate what the WVEF has
done to help out all the schools and students. –Submitted by Tyler Stoner
Throw a Pot: Yes, Please!
The Wapsie Valley Education Foundation (WVEF) donated a pottery wheel to Mrs.
Russler’s classroom in 2007.
The wheel is a great feature to Russler’s ceramics class. “It’s a piece of equipment we
really needed,” she explained. “It gives students an opportunity that would not have
been available without WVEF’s contribution.”
Some of the projects students made were used to give back to the foundation. “One
student used it to create a set of plates that were sold at the WVEF’s annual benefit auction,” Russler stated. The money raised at the auction is provided to other teachers for
more classroom opportunities. “Students here are lucky,” Russler added. –Submitted by
Stone Kane
The Mosaic Company sponsors the National FFA Parliamentary Procedure CDE as a
special project of the National FFA Foundation. The event is one of 23 CDEs held annually at the national FFA convention.
The National FFA Organization, formerly known as the Future Farmers of America, is
a national youth organization of 520,284 student members (and counting)— all members are preparing for leadership and careers in science, business and technology of agriculture; they are a part of 7,429 local FFA chapters in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and
the Virgin Islands. The National FFA Organization changed to its present name in 1988,
in recognition of the growth and diversity of agriculture and agricultural education. The
FFA mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their
potential for premier leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education. The National FFA Organization operates under a Federal Charter
granted by the 81st United States Congress, and it is an integral part of public instruction
in agriculture. The U.S. Department of Education provides leadership and helps set direction for FFA as a service to state and local agricultural education programs. Visit
www.ffa.org for more information.
We would just like to show our support for all of the FFA members participating at
Nationals and recognize them for their hard work and determination. Congratulations,
Wapsie Valley FFA!!
