Nancy Strothmann, Cape Central High College and Career Advisor, has been named the rootEd Advisor of the Year. Mrs. Strothmann works hard each day to make sure seniors are aware of their options after graduation and she guides them as they make their postsecondary plans. Mrs. Strothmann helps students fill out FAFSA paperwork, complete college applications and educates students on resources like vocational rehabilitation and more. This past school year, Mrs. Strothmann was able to increase the number of CHS seniors filling out their financial aid documents by 10 percent. rootEd was developed to help students in rural communities develop strong plans for life after graduation as students in rural areas face unique barriers to pursuing a postsecondary pathway. Congratulations, Mrs. Strothmann! We are so proud of you! (Mrs. Strothmann is the second person from the right in the photo.)

Every job within our school district is crucial to the health and success of our students. Without cafeteria staff, we cannot feed our children. As you likely know, a number of our students depend on the school to provide two nutritious meals a day because their home situation does not provide this for them. Some of our students only eat while they are at school. Let that sink in. If you are looking for a meaningful way to give back, please consider applying to work in one of our cafeterias. YOU WILL BE MAKING A DIFFERENCE! We need your help! Apply today: https://capegirardeau.tedk12.com/hire/ViewJob.aspx?JobID=80
