Please vote YES this coming Tuesday (March 7) for the Public Measure NI on the special election ballot. The Wapello CSD is asking voters to approve a new Revenue Purpose Statement. The Revenue Purpose Statement allows the districts to spend their SAVE Dollars (Local Option Sales Tax) past the 2029 expiration of the original Revenue Purpose Statement. Wapello has used the SAVE revenue to renovate the auditorium, replace lights and bleachers at the football complex, and construct the practice gym, among other projects. Passage of the new Revenue Purpose Statement will allow the district to spend these dollars until 2051. To learn more about this critical ballot question, visit our website.

The Wapello FRC (First Robotics Competition) Team is gearing up for their Regional Competition on March 25-27 at UNI in Cedar Falls. Nineteen students in grades 9-12 make up this year's team. This year's significant upgrade to our program was the opportunity to secure mentors from a local manufacturer, S & J Tube. These mentors have regularly checked in on our team to offer guidance when needed regarding the robot the team has built for competition. In addition to the machining guidance and expertise, S & J donated $2,000 to the Robotics team. The Robotics Team Members say a huge "Thank you" to S&J for supporting our team this year.
