Neil Armstrong has been off to an AMAZING start this year and we are just getting started!

On September 27th Neil Armstrong had their annual Walk-A-Thon. This year Neil Armstrong brought the event to Lancer Stadium. It was a GREAT morning filled with music, laughter and fun. The PTO sponsored the event that brought many families out to walk/run laps with their children that morning. The event ended with Popsicle’s for everyone that were donated by North Scott Foods.

The third grade class at Neil Armstrong partnered with David Linnenbrink from North Scott High School to teach a STEM activity. The lesson focused on potential energy in batteries. Then the class used math and science skills to time and drive remote control cars from a set distance. The students then graphed their results from the activity. It was a fun activity that incorporated many different skills. We are looking to continue various STEM activities in all grade levels throughout the year!

He got the job, and in January, he called me after the collective bargaining bill went through. He asked me, 'What am I going to do, Dad? I don’t have any protection. They could fire me next week, and I couldn’t do anything about it.’ I told him to hang in there and we’ll see what happens. This is a kid who wanted to teach so bad with underprivileged youth, he did his student teaching in East Des Moines at a junior high that had about a 75-percent minority population. Then he went to an Indian reservation in Arizona to work with the native Americans. So Fort Dodge was right up his alley teaching the kind of people he wanted to teach. When he called me that night, I figured it was time I stop complaining about the way things are being run. How many other young kids that year might not have done what my son did? Maybe they bailed on the collective bargaining-type jobs or left the state alto- gether to teach somewhere else. So it just made me mad. Out in Des Moines they talk about we’ve got to keep our youngest and brightest adults in the state … Then to do something like that? That drives them out. Then other things happened in Des Moines I didn’t care for; Medicaid, that sort of thing. That’s when I decided to run about six months ago.

MOMMSEN: Unfinished business. When I went out there, agriculture is my background. Ever since I got out of high school, water quality was an issue I got involved in early … And we passed a water quality bill. I’m also on the soil and water conservation board in Clinton County, so I have a very good perspective of how things can go. My main thing is to make Iowa a better place for my grandchildren … When they talk about their grandpa being in the legislature, I want the first thing they say is, ‘He made Iowa a better place.’

Q: On tax cuts, Rep. Mommsen, you supported them. How will you know they’re working?

MOMMSEN: First off, I know it’s working already. What bothered me the most is you were going to get an increase in your state taxes as a result of reduc- tions to your federal taxes. … Also this last session, we passed a bill to charge sales tax on internet sales, which will help our hometown businesses, which already get charged sales tax. You add those two things together and that’s the first section of this tax reduction. It amounts to about $300 to the average family. One of the most significant things that’s not talked about enough is that the personal exemption was raised.
