November is Native American Heritage Month, and we’re excited to learn about and celebrate Native Americans’ cultural contributions and history with our students this month. We invite our entire community to join us!
October was a busy month for Hawk Place packed with Halloween fun along with some learning. The younger students enjoyed a career parade through the
Montrose Care Center dressed in their "career" choices. As our monthly RAK (Random Act of Kindness) Hawk Place gifted the residents with bags of Halloween candy for giving out on Halloween. This was a good lesson of the enjoyment of giving to others and not always receiving.
Iowa State Extension again brought some STEM activities to the students and the older kids enjoyed pumpkin carving at the Elliott Test Kitchen.
Ending the month, the students were excited to accept an invitation to trick or treat at River Hills Village in costumes for the residents' enjoyment with the added bonus of some treats and a surprise "scare" from a gorilla hiding behind a curtain. Thank you to all for having us.
November is National Scholarship Month! This annual campaign draws attention to the ways in which scholarships and grants can help students and their families afford the cost of college and reduce their student loan burden.

Seniors and Juniors in the Central Lee Music Department had the chance to visit Iowa Wesleyan College on October 26th. Fifteen students took advantage of the trip and toured the campus, talked with an admissions counselor, the athlete director, music department faculty and students while participating in one of the concert choir rehearsals with director Blair Buffington. This was a chance for the students to visit a local university and to learn the process for admission to post-secondary education.
