Assistant Elementary Principal Hired
Combining Lyons and Fulton Elementary
Schools has caused the Board of Education to change the look of
administration for the new Evergreen Elementary School. Prior to this past
year, both Lyons and Fulton Elementary each had a principal. With the cuts
for this year, Mrs. Sherry Seller served as the principal for both
buildings until the move to the new elementary school in January of this
year. With Mrs. Seller’s retirement on June 30, 2005, the Board employed
Mr. Scott Lockwood (see story in last month’s Community News) as her
replacement. Because the elementary will have nearly 600 students next
year, the Board has employed Mrs. Jane Draheim as the Assistant Elementary
Principal.
Mrs. Draheim received her Bachelor of Science Degree in Elementary
Education from Ohio State University. She received her Master of Education
in Curriculum and Teaching and her Administrative licensure training from
Bowling Green State University. Mrs. Draheim has 16 years of teaching
experience with the last 8 years teaching fourth grade at Crissey
Elementary in the Springfield Local Schools.
We look forward to the contributions that Mrs. Draheim will make to
help improve educational opportunities for the students in the Evergreen
School District. Mrs. Draheim will officially begin her duties after
August 1, 2005. Please drop by the new elementary school and welcome both
Mrs. Draheim and Mr. Lockwood to the Evergreen Community.

Josh Regan
to Represent the United States as a
People to People Sports Ambassador

Josh Regan a bowler and a student at
Evergreen High School, has been accepted into the People to People Sports
Ambassador Program. In summer 2005, Josh Regan will be competing in The
Netherlands, Holland and Amsterdam.
In addition to building athletic skills, Regan can earn academic
credit while getting to know the people, culture and history of the places
visited. He will take part in a variety of activities.
Acceptance into the Sports Ambassador Program is an honor. The
international competition and education program was founded by President
Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956. After being invited to apply, Regan
submitted references and participated in a successful interview with
program coaches and leaders. Before departing he will attend orientation
meetings with a local coordinator and coaches to prepare for the journey.
Regan will be met overseas and accompanied by a team of experienced
coaches and teacher-leaders. The athletic delegation will be escorted by a
local delegation manager who coordinates the cultural and recreational
excursions and is very familiar with local customs.
President Eisenhower founded People to People during his presidency
with citizen leaders including entertainer Bob Hope, Olympic champion
Jesse Owens, amusement entrepreneur Walt Disney and Hallmark Cards founder
Joyce Hall. Having served as a military commander, Eisenhower believed
that ordinary citizens of different nations could make a difference where
governments could not. People to People Student Ambassador Programs is
based in Spokane, Washington, and has been coordinating the educational
travel programs for nearly 50 years.

need for part time and full time bus drivers. If you have the time and the
interest to help the school district in this capacity, please call either
