On Tuesday, October 4th 2022, four eighth grade band students from Boone Middle School auditioned for the SCIBA 8th grade honor band at Waukee Timberline. Pictured below are Karma Kruckenberg (flute), Brooklynn Elliott (alto saxophone), Kohl Bailey (trumpet), and Brady Mueller (trumpet). "I am proud of these students for working hard to prepare for their audition. They had to prepare eight major scales, their chromatic scale, and two difficult etudes. All students showed tremendous amounts of growth during the audition preparation process" says Rose Kundel, middle school band director. The SCIBA honor band festival will be held on Tuesday, November 1st at Ankeny Centennial High School.

This morning some of our EDGE and FCS students had the opportunity to go to One Million Cups through the Ames Chamber of Commerce. They heard Ashley Redeker speak about starting her business in Boone, Modern Dress. It was a wonderful opportunity to hear about entrepreneurship in our community for our students! Thank you Ashley and Ames Chamber for this opportunity.

People in other communities often ask what it takes to start a work-based learning program like EDGE. It is a hot topic everywhere. There are some definitive answers. First of all, our students are just plain rock stars. Each and everyone of them brings something to the table for our school and our community. They are going to do great things. Secondly, having a coordinator or two to oversee it is vital. Schools often push this onto CTE teachers and those teachers are already running 6 preps a day and doing so much of this work already. We are so fortunate to have amazing CTE teachers middle school to high school and two coordinators to help with this work. Third, administration has to support this work top down. Major check for Boone. We have incredible administrators who push and support this work. Last but not least and the whole point of this post is we 100% could not do this work without our business partners. These business partners don't just just run a business. They see their collaboration with the schools and students as a pipeline to the future, for their workforce, for their community. They are investing in themselves while investing in others. They are problem solving with us to figure out workforce needs. They are educating while running a business alongside us. We want to keep our students here. We want to train them here. We want them living here. I could like 100 different partners in this because truly each partner is amazing but some leaders in this work worth mentioning are Chad Houston with Kruck Plumbing, Jeremy Pritchard at Pritchard Brothers, Logan Messenbrink with Lane Trailers, Jason Haupert with Haupert Electric and Justin Adams with the Boone Fire Department. This photo is a good representation of this work.

If you want to get involved and grow your workforce. Start small. Speak to a class. Take 1 student on a job shadow. This stuff matters. It changes lives!
