Activities and Events
By Lori Miller, President
NSEF congratulates teacher Pam Nichols for being
granted the NSEF 2012 Spring Grant. She will be
awarded $500 to use for her Engaged Learning project.
Thanks to all who applied. The fall 2012 application can
be found on the website.
Our "Clicker Campaign" is complete!
We also congratulate senior scholarship winners. The
NSEF Dedication Award was presented to Alec LaVelle
in honor of Brenda Hurdle, a former Norwalk School
employee. This award was donated by her family and
friends. Two scholarships will be awarded in succes-
sive years to a dedicated student who has overcome
adversity.
The Principal's Award, funded by NSEF, was granted
to Olivia Bratt.
A new award that you will see for many years to
come, the Vivian Anderson Scholarship, was granted to
Shelby Seibert. This scholarship will be awarded to a
senior girls basketball player in honor of Vivian Ander-
son, a former Norwalk graduate and girls basketball star.
This scholarship has been generously provided by her
husband, Robert Schneider of Sun City West, Arizona.
NSEF thanks Marlene Tuggle for two years of ser-
vice to the Foundation Board. Watch for upcoming in-
formation regarding Pepsi Refresh and the Dance Mara-
thon. Thank you Norwalk for supporting education and
our kids!!

Unemployment Rates
,, ,Decline
Iowa Workforce Devel-
opment has issued a report
on unemployment rates
for the State of Iowa and
on a county by county ba-
sis as of April 2012. Iowa
continues to be in much
better shape than the na-
tion as a whole. The na-
tional unemployment rate
is 8.1%. The rate for the
State of Iowa is 5.1%. One
year ago the rate was 5.9%
for the State of Iowa. In our
area, progress continues to
dence in the future is a big
factor in encouraging busi-
nesses to expand or en-
couraging new businesses
to start up.
Shortage of Skilled
Workers
It is interesting to see
that there is actually a
shortage here:m_ Iowa of
workers with certain
"middle level" skills, ac-
cording to Iowa Workforce
Development. These are
jobs that require a high
school diploma and some
additional training. This

may be a two year degree
or even training as an ap-
prentice. I have heard from
several sources that weld-
ers are especially in de-
mand. Workers who have
been laid off might want to
consider some additional
training for some of these
middle level jobs. Young
people who are graduat-
ing from high school may
want to look into training
for jobs for which there is
a demand. Some of these
jobs are relatively high
paying. I hear too often of
young people who even
get four year degrees, then
find that there is little de-
mand for the kind of train-
ing they have. It's high
school graduation time
right now. This is a good
time for graduates, and
their parents, to be think-
ing about their future. For
those who are planning on
more education and train-
ing, it would pay to look
into the job market and get
the kind of training and
education for which jobs
are available.
