ANOTHER GREAT YEAR!
GOODBYE TO GREAT STAFF
I just want to take a moment to celebrate our staff members who are taking positions in our districts next
year. It is always sad to lose great people – and difficult to replace them. I have appreciated their
generosity, their passion, their compassion, and their dedication to the students, staff and communities of
Collins-Maxwell. We are better for knowing them, and we are wise to keep them as friends even as they
leave us as colleagues.
INTRODUCTION OF NEW 6-12 PRINCIPAL, JORDAN NELSON
As the new 6-12 Principal at Collins-Maxwell, I am extremely excited to get started on a new endeavor for
myself and a new school year! I have had some great interaction with staff, students, parents, and
community members already, and I look forward to meeting many more of you as my time here goes on.
My wife Shelly and I live in Pleasant Hill. We have 4 kids, Alyson, Hunter, Hailey, and Luther and cherish
our time we get with them. We travel a lot, mainly because her family is from Mason City and mine are in
Wisconsin (go Badgers!).
This year marks my 12th year as an educator. My first four years consisted of teaching Elementary and
High School Phys Ed as well as a Career Planning course at SCMT (Sheffield). I was also Athletic
Director, Head Boys Basketball and Girls Track Coach, Assistant Varsity Football Coach and taught
drivers' education.
In year five, we entered into a whole-grade share agreement with a neighboring district to form West Fork,
where I was for another four years. I taught middle school Computer Apps and Health and continued
coaching.
For the past three years, I have been the Dean of Students and Head Boys Basketball Coach at Carlisle
High School. My educational opportunities have been great, and I expect a lot of those great experiences
at Collins-Maxwell!
Go Raiders!

End of the Year Poem
You are a very special person and you should know, how I
loved to have you in my care, how fast the year did go!
Please come back to visit me as through the grades you go,
try hard to learn all that you can, there is so much to know!
One thing I tried to teach you to last your whole life through
is to know that you are special just because you are you!
Notes From The Nurse
Kindergarten and Freshmen Parents: It is a requirement that all kindergarten and freshmen students have
a dental screening completed. The purpose of the screening is to improve oral health of Iowa’s children by
early detection and treatment of dental disease. Also to promote the importance of oral health for readiness
and learning! A screening can be completed at your dentist this summer. Please ask your dentist to fill out
the Dental Screening Form and send it to the school. Any visit to the dentist in the last year counts towards
this requirement.
Immunization records: Please send in updated immunization forms after each vaccination. It is a state law
that all students are up to date on their immunizations.
*Preschool students cannot attend preschool without an up-to-date immunization form on file.
* 7th grade students are required to have an up to date Tdap. If your child has not been immunized, please
contact your physician’s office to schedule this immunization before the start of the 2015-2016 school
year.
Sick policy: Please remember to keep your child home if they have the following symptoms: Fever (100.0
or higher), vomiting or diarrhea within the last 24 hours, and/or red, mattery eye(s). The child needs to be
fever free for 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medication (Tylenol/Ibuprofen). I will make a
phone call to you if I feel your student is not able to stay in school. Please keep the offices updated on any
phone number changes.
Med Policy: All medications are to be kept in the nurse’s office in a locked cabinet. If your child needs to take
a medication at school, have them bring it to the nurse before school starts for the day. There will be over the
counter medication available also. These medications are: Tylenol, Ibuprofen, cough drops, Tums, and topical
lotions/creams. Students will only receive these if parents have consented for their child to have these
medications. The nurse will do a thorough assessment and based the assessment findings the nurse will decide
whether over the counter medications are needed or not. Students are allowed up to 5 combined doses of
Ibuprofen and/or Tylenol throughout the school year.
Community Hands Only CPR Class
When: Monday June 15
Time: 4pm-8pm: 15 minute classes
Place: Wright Learning Center, Colins, IA
Cost: $5
What: Hands Only CPR training class: Hands Only CPR is without
mouth-mouth breaths. Hands Only CPR is a two-step process, focused
on compressions only, to save someone’s life. This class is geared
toward non-medical personal that have never been taught CPR. Jill
Peters, the Collins-Maxwell School Nurse, will offer this class. Please
become part of the movement to train 300,000 people, in the Des
Moines area, in Hands Only CPR by 2020. If you are interested please
call Jill Peters and sign up for a 15-minute time slot. The class will
only be 15 minutes long.
Thank you for being proactive in savings someone’s life!

The students K-5 participated in iMile. They
ran, jogged, or walked one mile around the
track at the Elementary. Our community had
the opportunity to pledge money towards this
event. We raised $630 that will be used to
help the children and families at Blank
Children’s Hospitals through the Child Life
Department! Thank you so much for
everyone that was able to contribute!

to put the event together. The Story County Sheriff's Office, Bacon Funeral Home,
Ness Towing, Maxwell First Responders, C-M staff, and many parents helped to make
the event a success.

ELEMENTARY FINALLY GETS RELAYS IN
On Friday, May 15th the Lil Raider Relays were held on the school soccer field in Collins. We fought the weather and
the weather won, twice, but our students won in the end. We had a beautiful day to enjoy the kids and all the events
that they perform. The afternoon started with a lunch for students, parents, grandparents and friends followed by our
opening The Olympic Fanfare is played as the students’ parade around the track. Then a welcome to everyone, the
National Anthem, sung by the elementary choir and then on to the activities. As always, they were well attended and
enjoyed by a big crowd. Thank you to everyone who helped with the events and helped the day to go smoothly.

Music & Band News
Thank You, Music Booster Sponsors!
With funding from our sponsorship drive this year, the Collins-­‐Maxwell Music Booster Club purchased “new-­‐to-­‐
us” platform risers for the choir room and a *BRAND NEW* clavinova! The platform risers are already being used each day in the choir room but can also be easily transported into new locations for events like our annual Lasagna Dinner. We purchased a set of 30 pieces that can all be interlocked together as shown above. They are already proving to be sturdier and safer than our old ones and help us to use our space more efficiently as the choir continues to grow in enrollment! The clavinova is an electronic keyboard (shown on the left) that doesn’t require the annual maintenance and tuning like an acoustic does. It has the full range of keys, which are weighted to feel like real piano keys as well as the traditional pedal options. This keyboard also features several bonus functions like the ability to transpose, change “voices”, and connect to a computer. THANK YOU! 6th Grade Honor Band
On March 26th, select band students traveled to North Polk High School to perform in an honor band with other area schools. The schools included: North Polk, Bondurant-­‐Farrar, Madrid, Gilbert, and Collins-­‐Maxwell. Students rehearsed all afternoon and then gave a concert in North Polk’s auditorium. Congratulations to: Drew Jones, Hannah Leonard, Mason Markley, Maddy Meseke, Rachael Purdy, and Elise Robertson for representing our school so well!
CONGRATULATIONS!
This year at State Large Group Contest on Friday, May 8 in Grundy Center, both the High School Concert Band and Concert Choir received Division II ratings of “Excellent” from a panel of three expert judges. The students performed at a very high level and conducted themselves at an even higher one, representing Collins-­‐Maxwell with pride. Great job!

RAIDER PRIDE!
CMB Booster News
CMB Athletic Boosters Report
The Booster Club would like to thank everyone for their support during the 2014-2015 school
year. We were able to donate a total of $25,000 to the CMB athletic program.
We are already working on events for the 2015 – 2016 year. There will be several changes. We
will NOT have the football jersey auction this fall during Homecoming and we will NOT be
hosting the CMB Booster Basketball Tournament in January. To supplement these fundraisers
we have some new events to look forward to.
Our first event will be the CMB Raider Fest scheduled for August 29, 2015 in Collins. Meet,
greet and participate in games run by your CMB Athletes. There will be games for all ages. The
Booster Club will be selling tickets for the event soon, pre-event 5 tickets /$1.00 and day of the
event 4 tickets / $1.00. Watch for further information! Our goal is to have a fun filled event for
our THREE communities to come together and show our RAIDER PRIDE!
We will also be sponsoring a Monday Night Football Squares. Your $20.00 donation will
enter you in all 17 Monday Night Football games, one Thanksgiving Day game, the IOWA /
ISU game and the CMB Homecoming game for the 2015 season. You will have a chance to will
$10, $15 or $25 each week. To win you will need to match the number on the front of your
booklet with the halftime and/or final score of the games.
Next winter we will be hosting a Booster Bash for adults only. This will be a fun night of food,
drinks, music, tentative silent and live auction and other entertainment. Please watch for more
information in the near future.
As in the past we will have a CMB Boosters Sponsorship Drive. You can be a CMB Sponsor
for as little at $25.00 up to $500.00. We are changing the Sponsorship slightly for the 20152016 year so watch for updated information.
As always we are looking for volunteers to help keep this group a success. We need assistance
with the CMB Raider Fest, Booster Bash, Sponsorships, concessions (ordering food, cleaning
the stands, stocking the stands, scheduling workers, etc.) and CMB clothing sales.
We meet the second Wednesday of every month at 7:00 pm alternating between Baxter and
Maxwell. Please JOIN US!
Watch our Facebook page and website http://e29995.wix.com/cmbboosters for updates. You
can contact the Booster Club at [email protected] with any questions.

wanting to shed a few extra pounds; be part of a family; and anyone interested in
learning all about a sport that you can participate in for the rest of your life.
Organized practices for High School athletes will begin August 10th. Junior High

orientation, age, marital status, or disability in its educational programs, activities, or employment policies as required by Title VI and VII
of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, Title IX of the 1972 Education Amendments, and Section 504 of the Federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973. It is
also the policy of this district that the curriculum, content, and instructional materials utilized reflect the cultural and racial diversity present
in the United States and the variety of careers, roles, and life styles open to women as well as men in our society. One of the objectives of

disability. The curriculum should foster respect and appreciation for the cultural diversity found in our country and an awareness of the
right, duties, and responsibilities of each individual as a member of a pluralistic society. Inquiries regarding compliance with federal or state
regulations requiring nondiscrimination in programs or employment may be directed to Mr. Jason Ellingson, Superintendent, CollinsMaxwell Community School, 400 Metcalf St., Maxwell, IA 50161; or the Director of Iowa Civil Rights, Department of Education, Kansas
