NEWS ROUNDUP: Newspaper Spotlights New DPS Superintendent


New DPS Superintendent Featured In Friend Newspaper: The Friend Sentinel has done quite a write-up on Daryl Schrunk, Dorchester Public School's new superintendent.  According to the story, Mr. Schrunk said he was very selective when it came to applying for a superintendent’s position.  The former Columbus Lakeview Elementary administrator told the newspaper that Dorchester School is "a diamond in the rough," as described by a former Wayne State College instructor.  "Schrunk said he has a solid vision for Dorchester and is committed to education. The key is a strategic plan that will allow the community to participate," according to the story. "His plan includes five areas: perseverance, respect, integrity, decision-making and excellence (PRIDE). One of his goals is to find people in the district with whom the students can connect."  He adds: "Dorchester needs to be Dorchester no matter what."  

Bors Wins National FBLA Award:  More than 336 Nebraska students and advisers recently attended the Future Business Leaders of America National Leadership Conference in Atlanta.  Nebraska FBLA members competed June 29-July 2 in 70 events. More than 12,000 FBLA members from 46 states, as well as U.S. territories and international chapters attended the conference.  Dorchester's Clarissa Bors was one of a handful of participants who were recognized with the FBLA's National Community Service Award.  Congratulations to Clarissa.

Dorchester Area Residents Win Czech Day Awards:  We are guessing that a high percentage of Dorchester residents, from both town and country, attended the annual Czech Days celebration in Wilber a couple weekends ago.  We note that some of those folks came home with awards.  Betty Buhr with Horse “Sparky” won first place in the "Horses" division at the Czech Days parade.  At the two-mile Duck and Dumplings race, Judy (Kasl) Bors ran it in 18:14, capturing 1st place in her age category, beating her closet competitor by over a minute.  Former DHS track standout Janet (Uher) Schrick ran the 2-miler in 15:36 and was 1st in her age group.  Dorchester student Carly Rains, 11, took 6th in the 14-and-under division.  Clarissa Bors took 8th in the 15-20 group.  On the men's side, Jamie Karl ran the two-miler in 13:19, good enough for 2nd place in his category.
