Iowa-Grant School District

February 21, 2023 Dear Parents & Families: There is no decision more significant than one which ultimately impacts student safety. The National Weather Service out of La Crosse, Wisconsin has just advised school decision-makers that current forecast for a winter storm in two waves, will soon be elevated to an ice storm warning for Grant County, with an onset of time between 9 am and noon on Wednesday. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that the Iowa-Grant School District will be in session tomorrow, Wednesday. The weather system is dynamic, but each updated forecast class for icing to occur earlier and is being made with higher confidence. A final decision will be made no later than 5:15 am Wednesday and communicated through district message systems broadcast media. At this time, it is highly unlikely that the Iowa-Grant School District will be in session tomorrow, Wednesday. Please monitor the weather forecast and avoid driving if ice conditions develop as forecast.

Thank you Community First Bank for bringing FFA cookies in honor of FFA week. The students and staff enjoyed them, they were a great treat after the Ag Olympics. Happy FFA Week!

The Southwest Technical College of Fennimore dropped off a delicious cheese and sausage tray to help celebrate National FFA Week! They purchased the cheese and sausage tray locally from the Butcher Shop in Fennimore. Ag class students and FFA members got to enjoy a special treat during class! Thank you, SWTC!

FFA Officer Spotlight #3 "I wanted to be an FFA officer because being in the FFA has given me so many neat opportunities that I want to help other people experience. I also enjoy helping in the community, which we do a lot of. Over the past three years, I have really enjoyed being an officer, and in that time, I have learned so much about agriculture and myself. If you’ve been debating joining FFA, do it! It is an awesome organization, and Mrs. Hammerly is a great advisor!" - Gracie S.

The Panther Packs program needs the help of our community to continue to support our families and provide food on the weekends. We are in desperate need of mac and cheese cups or packets! We also always need donations of individual breakfast foods, lunches such as cup noodles or chef boyardee cups, and fruit cups! Thank you for continuing to support the Panther Packs program!

FFA Officer Spotlight #2 "FFA has helped prepare me for my future by helping me discover the different aspects of agriculture and encouraging me to develop leadership and life skills that will be useful in my future past high school. FFA has done so much for me throughout my high school career and being an officer is my way of giving back to the organization that has given me so much. HAPPY FFA WEEK!" - Bekka S.
