Words for Teenagers Northland College principal, John Tapene has offered the following words from a judge who regularly deals with youth. “Always we hear the cry from teenagers, ‘What can we do? Where can we go?’ My answer is this: “Go home, mow the lawn, wash the windows, learn to cook, build a raft, get a job, visit the sick, study your lessons, and after you’ve finished, read a book. Your town does not owe you recreational facilities and your parents do not owe you fun.” “The world does not owe you a living, you owe the world something. You owe it your time, energy and talent to make it a better place. In other words, grow up, stop being a cry baby, get out of your dream world and develop a backbone not a wishbone. Start behaving like a responsible person. You are important and you are needed. It’s too late to sit around and wait for somebody to do something someday. Someday is now and that somebody is you!”

Greetings! My name is Tracy Mathews, and I am proud and excited to be the new principal at Crescent Elementary School. Originally, I am from Orange City, a small town in northwest Iowa. I graduated from the University of Northern Iowa with a degree in Elementary Education and a minor in Mathematics. After that, I went on to get two Masters degrees, one in Curriculum and Instruction (2009) and the other in Educational Leadership/Pre-K-12 Administration (2012) while teaching at Lewis and Clark Elementary in Council Bluffs. Last year, I was the literacy coach at Rue Elementary, and I
also started to work on my Doctor of Education degree at the College of St. Mary. I have been married to my wonderful husband, Spencer, for six years, and we live in Council Bluffs. More good news! Enrollment at Crescent Elementary for the 2013-2014 school year has increased by 24 students. This is very exciting for our school, and we have now added a fifth classroom teacher. We are thrilled to see the number of Roadrunners grow! We are also excited to announce Kids & Co. will now be offering their services at Crescent Elementary! If you need before and/or after school care for your child(ren), please check out their website for more information: http://www.commedfoundation.org/kc_home.php. This is for school age children enrolled in the CBCSD district. Crescent Elementary has a new Facebook page so the community can “Like” us on Facebook and always get the latest information! We have the opportunity to earn a donation from Target. They are giving away $5 million to schools nationwide over the next month. Here’s how you can help...If you are a Facebook user, you can access the Give With Target app and vote every 5 days for our school. We now have 114 votes! This is the link: http://apps.facebook.com/givewithtarget/school/58348. Or you can search for our school on the Give with Target app using the 51526 zip code, too. Each vote is worth $1. We were able to earn $225 last year - please help us exceed this goal this year! Your votes are greatly appreciated. Remember, you can vote every 5 days now through September 21st.
