{Jerry Key (Jets Slower Mrs. Paulsen teaches French I, French II, junior high chorus, junior high swing choir, high school girls and boys chorus, high school mixed chorus, swing choir and individual vocal lessons. “I have to watch three study halls!” she said. “This cuts into my lesson time so I have to use my prep time to give lessons. I really enjoy the students I have this year. They are enthusiastic and willing to work hard (most of the time)! The eight period day this year made chorus avail- able to more students which is great.” She thinks her most memorable moment was the musi- cal “Bye, Bye Birdie.” Jeff Nielsen teaches farm management, livestock pro- duction, advanced livestock production, exploratory vo-ag, crop production, small motors and general con- striction.’ What is one of Mr. Nielsen’s memorable moments? “Getting my pay check on the twentieth of every month,” he answered. Mr. Roy teaches M.O.C., drafting advanced woods, dri- vers ed, 7th grade exploratory, industrial arts and be- ginning woodworking. This year is different for him because of a different bunch of enthusiastic students and their projects. Some of his most memorable moments as a teacher are work- ing with Mick Thompson when he taught here, outstanding projects like Kevin Andersen’s solid oak roll top desk and this year’s M.O.C. class giving him a flower for Valen- tine’s Day. Dave Best teaches 7th grade life science, 8th grade earth science, 10th biology, chemistry and ad- vanced biology. This year is differ- ent for him in that, because of the additional teaching load, there are a larger number of students than usu- al as well as a big 8th period study hall. His most memorable moments are the Chicago field trips and the 7th grade outings to Springbrook. Ardis Petersen teaches basic art, fi- bers, ceramics, mixed media, paint- ing, drawing and exploratory art. This year is different for her because it’s her first year of teaching here at Exira. “Seeing all the artwork my students had done first semester displayed in the lobby in conjunc- tion with the Christmas concert, was her most memorable moment.
