Congrats to this month's AGWSR Middle School Lead Cougars!!
Registration is open!!!
This holiday season the Hardin County Holiday Helpers would like to invite you to our Toys for Tots Event. This county-wide event will be in the morning on Saturday, December 12th at Bethany Lutheran Church in Iowa Falls. There will be something for the whole family, including breakfast!
Parents are invited to come pick out toys for their children at the Toys for Tots event at Bethany Lutheran Church in Iowa Falls. The event will offer both new, unwrapped toys and gently used toys. To best serve your family's needs, there may be a limit of gifts per child depending on donations received. There will also be free gift wrapping. Though this may not meet all your Christmas needs, we hope that it will help!
The Hardin County Holiday Helpers event serves the community in many ways. It allows parents to pick out gifts for their own children this holiday season, and do so without creating greater financial strain. It also allows those in the community, who are able, to provide donations to benefit local families by either donating new or gently used toys at boxes throughout the community, or monetary donations.
Parents who wish to attend the Toys for Tots event must have a ticket to enter on December 12th. You will receive a ticket via email after you R.S.V.P. via Google Form (https://forms.gle/q4tBB8Wf9q2nPAma6). Once you R.S.V.P. you will receive an electronic confirmation and a ticket in your email before December 6th, this ticket will include your assigned arrival time.
Also, in the morning on December 12th there will be a Kids Christmas Zone. This will also be located at the Bethany Lutheran Church. While parents are shopping for gifts, children of all ages are invited to participate in fun activities that teach about the true meaning of Christmas. They will also have an opportunity to pick out and wrap a gift for their parents.
Please R.S.V.P. for this event by Sunday, November 29th. If you are unable to R.S.V.P. via the Google Form (https://forms.gle/q4tBB8Wf9q2nPAma6) please call Rocky to R.S.V.P. by phone at (641) 220-2315.
This event is sponsored by Bethany Lutheran Church, Iowa River Valley Early Childhood Area, and Greenbelt Home Care/Hardin County Public Health.
Thank You!

Please click on the link below for information regarding the upcoming youth wrestling season. The upcoming bond could have a huge positive impact on AGWSR Wrestling with new facilities planned. The proposed wrestling room would allow girls and boys to have access to locker rooms and would be big enough to safely hold girls and boys practice.

Elementary Families - Mark your calendars, our next Cougar Connection meeting is November 10th! Hope to see you there!
A big thank you to Kiersten Hummel and her daughter for taking time out of their day to educate us on stocks. Kiersten shared a little about her journey on working towards her stock broker license. As the 8th grade SAIL students are navigating their first time through the Stock Market Games, her knowledge on investment and terminology came in handy.
AGWSR alumni - if you were involved in college athletics, we want to add you to the board in the HS commons! Please email ckoop@agwsr.org with your picture and stats. If you want to see what others have turned in, check out agwsr.touchpros.com/Home2 Look under "Athletics" and then "Cougars in College"
First grade SAIL students each came up with their own question to collect data on to later graph. We went beyond the classroom and asked others around the school. If you want to add to the data, here are the questions. Feel free to respond in the comments.
1) Would you prefer a cat or dog?
2) What town do you live in?
3) Do you prefer light green or dark green?
4) What is your favorite sport?
5) Which is your favorite holiday? (Christmas or Thanksgiving)
6) What is your favorite season?
Alondra and Michelle made this day so memorable in Mrs. Ainley's classroom. We had a great time crafting and playing games. We even had a little dance party! Thanks to all the friends that kept us fueled with goodies!
Last week, Mrs. Meyer's kindergarten class read, How to Catch a Monster. After that, they got to work making their own monster with play dough! Lots of creativity and imagination!
