NRHEG School Board

By REED WALLER

Staff Writer

After two months in consideration, two proposed new administrative positions came up for approval before the NRHEG School Board at its April meeting Monday. 

The Behavior Intervention Specialist would be responsible for coordinating efforts to correct and prevent behavior problems.

The Director of Curriculum and Instruction would supervise the analysis of test data and curriculum management, and oversee the integration of new technology, to bring the school’s academic program up to standards.

For those of you with young children about to be of preschool age, or anyone who is new to the NRHEG school district, now is the time to register for the 2014-2015 school year. With some changes to the preschool program this year, we talked with Darlyne Dahle, NRHEG preschool teacher and ECFE (Early Childhood Family Education) Childhood Instructor, and Marilyn Dobberstein, Director of Community Education, ECFE and School Readiness, to learn a little more about the program and what parents and children can expect at NRHEG.

Community Vacation Bible School will take place June 2-6 from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at First Lutheran Church, 503 Radel Court, Ellendale. 

Five area churches will volunteer to prepare supper each evening: St. Aiden’s Parish, Ellendale; First Lutheran Church, Ellendale; Ellendale United Methodist; Community Lutheran Geneva; and Vibrant Life, Ellendale.

How many of you have ever been on a riverboat?

This year, NRHEG High School juniors and seniors, along with their prom dates, are going to take a ride down the St. Croix River on Saturday, May 3.

For 30 years, NRHEG students have held prom at local school gymnasiums, followed by the after prom party at the Geneva Community Building. People have talked about trying something new for a few years. After last year’s prom concluded, school personnel, students, parents, and the after prom committee started looking at new ideas. Many heard about what other school districts have been doing, such as prom cruises, which seemed interesting. So, it was decided to give it a try.
