Boston and Back Again: Welcoming Mrs. Wolff to RSHS

By Aidan H.

Being a secretary is a job that not many people are fit for. However, a new addition to Roland-Story, Mrs. Wolff is the ideal candidate. Mrs. Wolff landed a job as an administrative assistant two months ago through an in-person interview and an online application. She is currently still in the day-to-day learning process at Roland-Story High School. Her job consists of writing passes for students, taking attendance, ordering teachers' supplies and requests, and socializing with students and staff to create an overall positive atmosphere in the RSHS office. 

Mrs. Wolff grew up in Emmetsburg with her parents, Janice and Dennis Quinn, and her two sisters. She attended Emmetsburg High School and graduated in 1993. School never appealed to her, so she took the work path straight out of high school as opposed to the college path. She moved to Boston at the age of 17 where her now husband Todd moved out to join her later. She worked as a full-time nanny for ten years while living in Boston. 

She’s always had a special place in her heart for kids and teenagers. Mrs. Wolff and her husband had two kids in Boston; Mallory age 19, and Rylee age 16. Shortly after Rylee was born, the four moved back to Iowa to buy a home. They landed in Story City, where they currently live. Since moving back to Iowa, Mrs. Wolff has worked in a nursing home for 12 years, at an insurance office, part-time at a boutique, and served food as a lunch lady at Roland-Story Middle School for two years. She is very family-oriented, so she enjoys spending time with her girls and having the same school schedule as her youngest daughter, Rylee. She celebrates her birthday on October 19th.

Some of Mrs. Wolff’s hobbies include camping in the summer and fall with her family and three dogs. As well as go on motorcycle rides with her husband Todd when the weather permits. Mrs. Wolff has always loved decorating and is a very crafty person. “One of my favorite sports is professional baseball,” Mrs. Wolff said.  If you ever see her in the office or the halls, please give her a big Roland-Story welcome.

Back in the Swing of Things: The Return of Roland-Story’s Jazz Band

By Mason S. The Roland-Story Jazz Band is gearing up for a year of swinging songs, soulful solos, and jaw-dropping performances. After placing 3rd last year at the Iowa Jazz Championships, this year's band has big shoes to fill, especially to keep the rich musical tradition alive and prove that they are one of the top ensembles in the entire state. Students have been working hard to perfect their musical selections, from big-band Jazz Standards to modern funk hits. Lead trombone player Bradey Haberl said, “I think this year's music is some of the best I’ve ever played. It's definitely my favorite by far, but it is also by far the most difficult music we have ever played. This increased difficulty in music is not without reason. The rhythm section currently comprises all returning players: Aubrey Britten on bass, Cael Vermeer on piano, Mason Schnurstein on guitar, with Ella Murphy and Eli Van Hove both on percussion. The rhythm section is the glue that keeps the band togethe...

Roland-Story at The Iowa Jazz Championships

By Bradey H. On April 2nd, the Roland-Story Jazz Band played at the Scheman Building in Ames for the annual Iowa Jazz Championships. After placing first at the SCIBA (South Central Iowa Band Association) Jazz Festival to qualify for the championships, the band continued participating in contests and practicing four times a week to improve for this performance. Just a few weeks earlier, the band had clinics with retired Southeast Polk band director Ted Hagan and Drake jazz professor Bob Meunier. Using the advice from these two experts, the band finished polishing the four pieces they were going to play for the championships. The songs to be performed were “Hipper by the Dozen” by Al Horney, “Chicken Scratch” by Kris Berg, “Sagebrush” by Annie Booth, and “Hit the Bricks” by Gordon Goodwin. The band had only performed “Sagebrush” once before, so a majority of the practice time was devoted to it. In the final days leading up to the event, the band’s director, Kevin Masemann, made the final...

The Road to State

By Kelsey J. We had been preparing for this one day for months. State came and went for the Roland-Story Jazz band. But it was the preparation leading up to it that mattered the most. The Roland-Story Jazz Band was set to compete on April 8th at 2:45 pm. The two weeks leading up to it were very stressful and filled with tons of practice. Between sectionals, full band practices, and clinics we were booked tight.  To be able to become better, you have to seek the help of the very best along the way. The Roland-Story Jazz band’s first clinic was with Bob Neunier. He came and listened to the band on March 31st. Bob is the Professor of Percussion & Director of Bands at Drake University, where he is the conductor of the wind symphony and director of percussion studies. The kids brought him in to help give tips and advice to the band. With his elite skill set, he helped to lock in the rhythm with the rest of the band. He gave new ideas and insights on how we could take our band from g...
