Sleepy Eye Public School News
Sleepy Eye Public School’s administrative transitioning process is coming to its finality by the end of this month. The district made the decision to do a shared superintendent structure with Cedar Mountain for the next three years. The school district decided to add a full time elementary principal that previously was part of the superintendent’s combined assignment. We have reached the final phase of the hiring process and identified six candidates that we plan on interviewing on Monday March 24. Our six finalist are: Crystal Ibberson Special Education teacher at New Ulm Public School, Laura Seifert-Hertling Director of Special Services at Fridley Public School, Jason Toupence Teaching and Learning Coordinator at NRHEG (New Richland, Hartland, Ellendale, Geneva), Kyle Leeson math teacher in Lake Crystal-Welcome-Memorial Public School, Keri Murphy a second grade teacher in Blue Earth Area Public School and Benjamin Westphal Dean of Students at Riverbend Education District in New Ulm. The candidates will have the tour of the town and the school prior to their interviews. We are looking forward to selecting a future leader of Sleepy Eye Elementary School.

Grateful to God and all those who contribute
As we approach one of the busiest times of the school year, I find myself reflecting on the abundant opportunities for growth our students experience and on the generosity of those who make these opportunities possible.
