Greenfield, IA

Congratulations Ben Baudler and Kelsie Cass on being selecting Herbert Hoover Uncommon Students. Only 15 Iowa students are awarded this designation each year and the 2008 class includes two of our Horzions participants. They both participated in study circles and the LeadershipPlenty® classes. Cass is also a member of the steering committee.
Each Uncommon Student had to identify a project they will complete this year. Both of them selected projects related to priorities identified by the Greenfield Horizons project. Ben will be writing a series of preschool books around the theme, Nodaway Valley: A Great Place to Live and Grow. (quality early child care and education). Kelsie will be conducting cooking classes (Cooking for Life) for parents with young children as part of her work in the area of Food for All.
Our community should be really proud of these young leaders.
