Empty hallways all that remain for VanderPol

GRUNDY CENTER — Steve VanderPol wandered into the hall outside his office Thursday morning. Gone were the sounds of students walking between classes, talking about their date the previous Saturday and why the B-minus they received on their algebra test was so unfair. There was no sound of lockers and no smell of lunch wafting from the cafeteria.
    Nineteen years as principal at Grundy Center Junior-Senior High School was enough. More than three decades teaching and serving in school administration was enough. All that was left were memories.

GRUNDY CENTER — More than 50 local fourth- through eighth-grade golfers and prospective golfers had the chance to learn from one of their former peers last Thursday and Friday at the first revamped Grundy Center Golf Academy.
    Kyle Olson, a Grundy Center High School graduate who now makes his living as a club professional in Bonita Springs, Fla., came home to donate his time to the Academy and was joined by 10 other GCHS golf alumni as well as high school girls’ golf coach Rick Schupbach, who pioneered the academy in 1997.

    GRUNDY CENTER — When Grundy Center fifth-graders return to class next fall, they will have brand new lockers and classrooms … a place so new that the carpet will smell fresh off the sales floor. The new space on the south side of Grundy Center Junior-Senior High School will have a much greater purpose than classrooms, however. It will create a safety area unlike that at most other school buildings in Iowa.
