Third, Fourth and Fifth Grade Family Math night took place on November 19, 2013. Close to fifty students signed up and brought their families for an action packed
night of math fun. Students started in their grade level classrooms, then rotated to stations. Each station provided the opportunity for families to learn new math
games and practice skills. Students played against their parents and other students. What a fun experience to see families competing, laughing and learning
together. Thank you to all who attended and we hope you enjoyed the night as much as we did.

Police Liaison Officers at our Schools
Last year, the Stark County Board
of Education began to implement several safety initiatives in response to
some well-documented acts of random
violence that occurred at other schools
across the nation in recent years.
One of the Board’s initiatives was
to increase law enforcement visibility
in and around the schools. With the
help of the Stark County Sheriff’s Department, that initiative is coming
to fruition. Beginning November 19,
two part-time Police Liaison Officers
(Officers Dustin Schaill and Michael
Leighton) began working a few hours
each week at our schools in Toulon and
Wyoming.
Officers Schaill and Leighton will
not have regular schedules at the
schools, but they will be assigned work
spaces within each building – and they
will be assigned varying hours in different school buildings each week.
The two officers that will share the
new police liaison duties have completed School Resource Officer training
in Springfield recently and they are excited about this new challenge.
We hope to utilize the two officers
not only to enhance safety for our students and staff, but to provide educational and information services where
appropriate. We envision the officers
speaking to Driver Education classes,
Government classes, or Health classes
when requested. We hope officers can
serve as a resource to students who
have questions about the law or students who may have concerns about
legal issues.
We know that the job description for the Liaison Officers is going to
evolve during the first few weeks and
months of this new position, but we
want parents to know that our Police
Liaison Officers do not serve in the capacity of school disciplinarians. Their
main tasks will be to enhance overall
security, and to serve as a resource to
teachers, students and administrators.
The Stark County teachers have been working diligently and quietly behind
the scenes. While the professional demands on educators have been increased,

of individuals who give their time to the processes of making, editing, and publishing the

with more emphasis on
state testing and publicized
scores, the teacher’s hard
work in the classroom tends
to go relatively unnoticed.
Several positive and creative
systems
have
been developed
to help improve
the instruction
and evaluation
that we hope will
have an effective
impact on our
students.
Mr. Bill Lamb
Our professional staff has
been
working
hard to gather
more
student
data than ever
before to assist
in improving instruction in the
classroom. While
the students may see some of
the new tests as “just another
grade”, the staff is using these
nationally developed exams
to measure academic success
on an individual level as well
as school, state, and national
levels. The teachers are evaluating data several times a
year to make sure that we are
aware of individual student
achievement and improvement. The data also helps
with lesson design that will
address areas that may need
improvement. These tests
include Maze and Aimsweb,
which help us identify those
who have met benchmarks.
The Explore, Plan, or A.C.T.
tests are used to help families
see an achievement snapshot as it relates to College &
Career readiness.
Invitation to
Public Forum
A Note from Mr. Loane:
Parents of students in my Illinois History/Government Class-
How to contact the school district
Superintendent’s office
During the first semester, my Government students are required to attend a governmental meeting and write a report on
what happened at the meeting. This requirement calls for them to
find out when and where the meetings are held and attend at least
an hour of a meeting. I have given the formal assignment to my
students. They will have sufficient time to find and attend a meeting. I usually give them several weeks to get this accomplished.
They may attend a school board meeting, a city council meeting,
a fire protection district meeting, a library board meeting, an EMT
district meeting, or a County Board meeting.
Look for the written assignment I gave to your student. If you
have any questions call or visit Mr. Loane.

Addressing the Board
spending many hours, sometimes using our early release
afternoons, to review and
document their texts, instructional resources, curriculum maps and course
descriptions. We hope that
by taking a hard look at what
we are doing, and how we
are doing it, we will be able
to identify our strengths and
weaknesses.
We have good reasons
to be proud of our Rebels,
both students and teachers.
We are striving to have high
levels of determination and
success for our students in
the classroom. We believe it
starts new, each day, when
the students walk into the
classroom and hear what the
teacher has created just for
them to meet the day’s chalAlso, the staff has been lenge.

As in the past, in those rare situations where school administrators request the assistance of the police at the
school, our new Liaison Officers may be
utilized, but their roles and our policies
regarding their roles in investigations,
searches, etc., have not changed.
We want to welcome Officers Schaill
and Leighton to our staff and we look
forward to their positive contributions
to our schools.

“Teamwork”
success."
I want to thank you
for coming together and
joining with us in developing dreams, keeping
with us through one of the
most transforming times
in education and working with us to meet the
needs of children. Thank
you, students, teachers,
parents and community
members for being a part
of the team. Students,
thank you for coming
to school ready to learn,
ready to create and ready
to engage.
Teachers,
thank you for exhausting time, resources and
energy in instruction,
committing to creating
opportunities for success and connecting with
and loving each child in
your classroom. Parents
thank you for working
with and caring for your
children at home, being
apart of school events
and supporting changes
in education. Community members, thank you
for being willing to jump
in when extra hands are
needed, providing resources for teachers and
students and finally for
making education a priority. Stark County is a
team that is changing the
world one child at a time,
because working together creates success.
The month of November
brings
two
thoughts together for
me. One being thankfulness and the other being
teamwork. Education is
changing all around us,
but one thing that stays
constant is that teamwork creates possibility.
One teacher reminded
me this week that it takes
a village to raise a child
and here in Stark County
we take that responsibility very serious. There
are many suggestions on
what education should
look like, but the Stark
County Team knows that
success is more than just
meeting standards and
following mandates; it is
instilling in young minds
a fire to learn and a passion to succeed. Preparing a child for the future
is hard work, but together that task is possible. It
was once said that teamwork is the act of dividing the task, to multiply
the success. Our goal is
to prepare students for
the future by providing
opportunities for success, and there is no
better place to do that
than right here in Stark
County. What a joy it is
to see people coming together everyday to make
meaningful connections
for young minds. Henry

Knobloch of the State Bank of Speer. Each student received a $25 gift card.
Stark County Jr. High Sixth and Seventh Graders
Gain Appreciation for the Work of Fire Fighters
On September 11, 2001 when the planes crashed into the World Trade Center
towers, emergency service people did not hesitate to take action. Students in
Mrs. Ford’s Social Studies class researched information in which they learned
the firemen had to walk up 110 flights of stairs in full gear plus carry a “pack” of
supplemental gear just to reach the fire. Wow! But what does that really mean?
To find out, students put on basic turnout gear and carried one fifty foot section
of inch and a half hose to get an idea. A fireman’s gear can weigh in excess of
85 pounds with their air pack and the supplemental gear they carry can be 60 to
70 pounds. Students found it difficult to move around the classroom, let alone
climb stairs, quickly understanding a small part of what firemen experience.
We would like to thank the Toulon Fire Department for allowing us to borrow
the gear for the day.

Elementary school honors Veterans with assembly, projects
On Friday, November
8, 2013 Stark County Elementary students invited
Veterans from our community and surrounding
areas to take part in our
annual Veteran’s Assembly.
Students worked
hard all week creating art
work to display for their
very special visitors. Miss
Emily Stahl, Stark County
Elementary’s newest staff
member, helped students
fill the hall with patriotic
projects. Stark County
Elementary teachers also
spent the week speaking with students about
the history of our country and the importance
of our Veterans. Many
classrooms worked to
complete thank you cards
and other projects to show
their appreciation. Then
on Friday morning, as our
Veteran’s began to arrive,
they were ushered into
the gymnasium. Soon
after visitors were seated,
Stark County Elementary
students showed their appreciation for those who
are currently serving and
those who have served in
the past. Mrs. Laura Bennett lead Kindergarten
through fifth grade students in song and many
special readings honoring our Veterans and
many more around the
county. Each guest was
asked to raise their hand
as their name, branch of
service and family connections were read. This
was an emotional and
memorable event for all.
Thank you again to those
who have fought and are
currently fighting for our
freedom.

The First Graders in Mrs. Gilles' class completed "How-To" writings titled
"How To Cook A Turkey!" Happy Thanksgiving to all!!
How To Cook A Turkey by Lauren Best
First, go to the store and get a turkey. Next, get a rectangular pan and put the
turkey in the pan. Then, cook it at 40 degrees for 20 minutes. Last, we eat the
turkey.
How To Cook A Turkey by Cole Kinsella
First, you trap it with a trap. Next, you pull the feathers out. Then, cook it for
20 degrees for 2 minutes. Last, then eat.
How To Cook A Turkey by Jimmy Langdon
First, I went to the store and got a turkey. Next, I put it in the oven for 20
degrees for 5 days. Then, I take it out of the oven. Last, I share the food with my
family.
How To Cook A Turkey by Corbin Williams
First, I get my bow and arrow. Next, I find a turkey. Then, I shoot the turkey.
Then, I cook it for 30 hours. Last, I set the table for Thanksgiving.

Giving thanks at the elementary school library
By Mary Beth Kelly
It is time to give
thanks and at the elementary school library
we are thankful for books
and reading! So much has
been happening and the
students have been very
busy reading and doing
activities.
October was a busy
month and the K-2nd
grade students enjoyed
reading Clifford the Fire-
house Dog by Norman
Bridwell during Fire Safety Week.
To discuss bully-prevention the Kindergarten
students read The Little
Engine that Could by
Watty Piper and we made
our own train. On each
train car students wrote
down what they COULD
do to be a friend instead
of being a bully. The 1st3rd grade students read

A Bully Free School by
Pamela Hall and made a
chart listing things that
students and others could
do to prevent bullying in
our schools. The 4th and
5th grade students read
Bully by Patricia Polocca.
We discussed the problems addressed in the
book and how they were
handled. Then we made
a chart and answered
the question “What
Would You Do?”
The K-2nd
grade students
read Bats in the
Library by Brian
Lies and each student made their own
bat to help decorate the
hall. For Halloween they
read The Biggest Pumpkin Ever by Steven Kroll.
We talked about what
happened at the beginning, middle and end of
the story and students
used the pieces of a construction paper candy
corn to show the sequence of the story.
To help celebrate Veterans Day we read H is
for Hero by Devin Scillian
and Hero Dad by Melinda Hardin. Kindergarten
students made a picture
to thank our veterans for
their service and 1st and
2nd grade students used
each letter in the word
veteran to write a word
that describes what a veteran does. We were proud
to give these to our visiti n g
veterans
during the elementary school
assembly.
The K-2nd grade
students read Bear has
a Story to Tell by Phillip
C. Stead and Every Autumn Comes the Bear by
Jim Arnosky. We learned
about the building blocks
of a story with these two
stories by discussing and
writing about the main
characters, setting, and
the problem, action and
outcome. We also read
While the World is Sleeping by Pamela Duncan
Edwards and Pumpkins
by Mary Lyn Ray.
To celebrate Thanksgiving we read Thanksgiving by Miriam Nerlove
and The Berenstain Bears
Thanksgiving Blessings
by Mike Berenstain. Students drew their Thanksgiving feast on a plate and
labeled it.
The 3rd graders read
and finished Sadie and
Ratz by Sonya Hartnett. Before reading
the book they wrote
what their prediction of the book
would be. It
is fun to read
them after we
have completed
the book, share them
with the class, and add
them to our binder of
book predictions. Sadie
and Ratz are Hannah’s
imaginary friends. The
students made up their
own imaginary friends,
wrote about them and
drew a picture. One student from each class was
selected to read their
description over morning announcements. The
next book the 3rd grade
has begun reading is
When Santa Fell to Earth
by Cornelia Funke. We
have many fun Christmas
activities planned to go
along with this book.
The 4th grade classes
read and have finished
Detective Bigfoot by Renee Wallace. They are
working on group projects to tell us why or why
not they believe Bigfoot
is real. They will present
their project as a news
report that I will film and
will have them up to view
on my library web site
which is http://scelementarylibrary.pbworks.com
or just click on my name
in the staff directory on
the SCES web site.
Or 5th grade students
have been reading The
Fairy Ring or How Elsie
and Frances Fooled the
World by Mary Losure. It
is a true story about how
two young girls helped
convince some very important people that fairies were real. After reading the description in the
book of the fairies and
little green men, students
drew their own interpretation of these creatures.
We also made a chart of
how the girls felt during
different situations in the
book and how those who
were fooled felt.
Hopefully
Thanksgiving break will allow
you some time to enjoy a
story with your child and
maybe even feast your
eyes on a good book!
