Happy Homecoming! In addition to the games and activities this week, the High School Drama Department began rehearsing the Fall play. We traditionally start our rehearsals with a Table Read, which gives us a chance to hear each character's voice and imagine how it will all fit together. The Phantom Tollbooth opens on November 12th. We hope to see you there!

Dear Panther Community,
I am thankful and honored to begin this journey as Superintendent of Iowa-Grant Schools. I am happy the District Office is located in IGEMS because for the past five years I have made IGEMS my home and family. I look forward to expanding my role and spending more time at the high school and meeting with community leaders and groups.
For those that do not know me, I have been a principal at IGEMS for grades 2-8 since 2016. My mother grew up in Linden, the daughter of Royal and Edna (Liddicoat) Jewell. She has fond memories of the Linden School as a child. When I became a Panther, after teaching math and language arts for 23 years at Pecatonica, my family bought my parents' home and moved to Mineral Point. My husband, John, and I have a busy life with our blended family: Spencer (26), Alex (21), Logan (21), Hannah (19), Addison (15) and Alexis (14). We enjoy any occasion that brings us together, including golf and football Sundays.
As we start Homecoming Week, I want to encourage all our students, staff, and community members to come together in Panther Pride. Socrates said, "The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new." This is a chance to refocus our attention on learning.
In August, our staff came together for inservice days. We chose to set our own course, despite a lapse in leadership, and renew our commitment to students and instruction. How? Every day, we will work hard, stay positive and spread kindness. We will focus on teaching, learning, demonstrating, supporting, and challenging. We will focus on what we do well and what we can do better. We will choose to set aside the issues, conversations, and controversies that are outside our schools and beyond our control. We will show our service and gratitude to our school and community. We will celebrate our students and staff in classrooms together. We will choose to learn and grow.
This year will be challenging. Tough decisions will be made. Opinions will differ. I ask all Panthers to join us. Let's steer the conversations to Panther Pride. Let's talk about all the great things happening right here, right now. Let's show our youth the power of community, service, and tolerance. Let's demonstrate how differences in opinion can be accepted and respected. Now more than ever, let's support our students and staff and show our school pride. Get ready to wear your Panther gear - Happy Homecoming!
Go Panthers,
Robyn Oberfoell
