During the Iowa State Fair, Twin Cedars FFA had 13 volunteers work at the Cattlemen's Beef Quarters! This means we received a check for $650 to help pay out district and state FFA Dues! Thank you all for your hard work!





Way to Go Ladies!!! It's a great way to start the season.

Just a note to share that elementary students are invited to join in the fun with the Homecoming Week dress up days! The elementary students will be watching the Saber games and pep rally as well. Our elementary Sabers Screamers will participate in the pep rally.

I loved TC ever since I worked here as a teacher & coach from 2011-2018 and was the only place that I wanted to return to when decided to return to teaching. I think it was fate that Mr. Parker left at the same time that I was returning to my teaching career, so I could finish at TC❤️

Hi! My name is Kristin Coble. I am so excited to join the team at Twin Cedars. My hometown is Kirksville, MO. I attended Central Methodist University in Fayette, Missouri for my bachelors degree in early childhood education and the University of Kansas for my masters degree in special education. I spent about 12 years working as a preschool general and special education teacher in northeast Missouri and Central Iowa. I have also worked as a special education associate. I currently live in Pella with my husband, Bobby. I enjoy spending time with my family, doing art and craft projects, and spending time in nature. I am passionate about special education and making a difference for all children. I grew up attending smaller schools and Twin Cedars reminds me of that. I am looking forward to being part of a close-knit community.

DMACC Classes begin tomorrow! Please make sure you pick up your books & materials and get logged in tomorrow!
