The Corwith-Wesley school district, chronicled for the past year in The Des Moines Register<\/em>, dismissed classes for the last time at the time of this post. A baker’s dozen of students graduated from Corwith-Wesley-LuVerne<\/a> May 17. The Mason City Globe-Gazette<\/em> also had a feature on the graduates<\/a>.<\/p>\n

CWL was already sharing sports with Algona, so there will be no baseball\/softball teams carrying the flag into July. One of the world’s homeliest school websites<\/a>, recently augmented with a trophy spreadsheet<\/a>\u00a0(XLS) that reads like an estate auction (which is exactly what happened<\/a>), will go dark in midsummer.<\/p>\n
