NEW HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL VISITS CLUB

Jenny Berens is working in her first year as a school administrator at Treynor Junior/Senior High. Berens explained she grew up in a family of eight in Wood River, NE. After teaching at Tri-Center schools for eight years and in Colorado and Montana schools during several years before that, Berens said she is thrilled to have the opportunity to be at Treynor. Berens started in the summer meeting staff and getting familiar with the facilities. Since the beginning of the school year, Berens said she has been working to learn the name of each student. Berens stated she feels it is very important to be visible to students and staff during the school day. So she often walks through the building and checks in on classes. However, this presence is challenged by to need to address ever present administrative issues. Berens said she was thankful for the great community support she has received which is indicative of a community of families interested in education of their children.
