The local Iowa BI chapter of the TTT organization presented Sherry Bullock with the Woman of the Year Award — a new shirt to wear to the upcoming convention. Each year, the
Friendship committee chooses a member that has dedicated her time, talents and treasures to exemplify the ideals of the group. TTT is a group dedicated to sending
fourth grade girls to camp that might not otherwise have the opportunity. Last year, the Iowa BI group sent six girls from Ames and Nevada schools to summer camp.
Students in the Roland-Story horticulture program have been studying the topic of plant asexual propagation methods the past several weeks and one of their activities involved the topic of “polarization” or
the ability of plants to send roots and shoots into the correct location. One of the labs the students undertook was to find out what happens in bulb plants are planted upside down.
According to agriculture education instructor Brad Taylor, “This was a short and educationally fun lab for the students to theorize what potentially will happen and why it happens.”

Nevada High School National Honor Society induction The Nevada High School National Honor Society recently inducted 23 students into the chapter. In order to be inducted into the National Honor Society, the student must be a sophomore, junior, or senior. In addition,
a 3.0 GPA is required, and each candidate is voted upon by the faculty. The faculty reviews each student’s application based upon citizenship, service, leadership, character and scholarship. The compiled faculty
vote and materials are then scrutinized by a final faculty committee. NHS President Mackenzie Garrett presided over the event assisted by fellow officers vicepresident Logan Stufflebeam, Secretary Luke Fevold and Treasurer Malachi Hornbuckle.
Each inductee was introduced by a current member and presented with their certificate, a yellow rose, and a membership card with NHS pin. Nevada High School Principal Kody Asmus provided some remarks on the merits of
what NHS stands for and how the students should embrace others and cherish the values that NHS stands for. After the ceremony, refreshments included cakes made by Lori Trygstad, a fruit-sherbet punch made by Chris Lloyd.
Students, faculty, parents and friends then enjoyed each other’s company and many photographs were taken. Nevada High School National Honor Society Faculty advisor is Kevin Cooper.
Adventures Preschool celebrates 50 years Adventures Preschool in Ames is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2018. An open house celebration will be from 2 to 4 p.m on Sunday, April 15, at Collegiate United Methodist Church in Ames. Join us for an afternoon fi lled with Adventures fun including, music by Reed Miller, cake, refreshments, tours and program at 3 p.m.
Take a trip down memory lane with us as we take a look back at 50 years. Past students, families, teachers, volunteers and friends. Event updates can be found on our facebook page at Adventures Preschool 50th Anniversary Celebration. Adventures Preschool is located at Collegiate United Methodist Church at 2622 Lincoln Way.
The preschool originated from a Mom’s Morning Out program at Collegiate United Methodist Church/ Wesley Foundation (CUMC/WF) in 1968. Ruth Points was Christian education director for CUMC/WF and wanted to create a program to train parents to be Sunday school teachers. Initially, only families that were members of CUMC/WF
were eligible. In later years, CUMC/WF families were given first access to enroll each year. Now at the 50th anniversary of the preschool more than 1,683 children have been served from 1968-2018 and there have been five directors/lead teachers: Doreen Wass, Gayle Atchison, Lisa Nowers, Rhonda Scott and Jill Strawhacker. Now the preschool, known as Adventures
Preschool, has the mission to provide a safe and nurturing environment where teachers and families work as a team to offer developmentally appropriate learning opportunities for each child’s emotional, social, physical and cognitive growth. In this cooperative (“co-op”) based preschool, teachers, parents and children are fully involved in the educational process, working and
learning together. The importance of parents as educators is recognized. Parents volunteer in the classroom on a regular basis and serve on committees or on the board of directors. This co-op commitment has sustained for the full 50 years of the preschools existence. For questions or information contact, Jill Strawhacker at info@ adventurespreschool. org.
