District celebrates achievement
in Leader in Me program
Franklin Covey Co. has named
Benjamin Harrison Elementary
as a Leader in Me Lighthouse
School, making it one of the first
two in the state to achieve this
honor.
The honor means the school
has achieved outstanding results in school and student outcomes by implementing The
Leader in Me process. Franklin
Covey states it also recognizes
the extraordinary impact the
school is having on staff, students, parents, and the greater
community.
The Leader in Me, developed
in partnership with educators,
is a whole-school transformation model that empowers students with leadership and life
skills needed for success in the
21st century. It starts from the

Literacy coaches share district’s story nationally
Two of Marion City Schools’
literacy coaches shared their
knowledge with teachers across
the nation in February as they
talked about one of the district’s
four pillars of reform.
Katie Bogan and Sara Grogan
spoke at the upcoming National
Reading Recovery and K-6 Literacy Conference. They discussed
transitioning from primary to
intermediate in the Literacy Collaborative reading framework
used by Marion City Schools.
“Our goal is to prepare students for the change,” said Sara,
who said they will speak on
helping second
graders prepare to transition to
third grade reading. She and Katie’s presentation was among 25
picked to be shared at the threeday conference.
Seven of the presentations are
from Ohio. “It’s exciting to be
picked. Not many people get
picked,” said Bogan. Literacy
Collaborative, developed by
The Ohio State University, helps
make sure students gain reading skills needed for success in
school and life.

MCS to receive Straight A grant
Funding to boost efforts to prepare students for success
The Ohio Department of Education notified Marion City
Schools this week that it will recommend funding an innovative
program dedicated to preparing
students for success after graduation.
The Straight A Governing
Board recommended funding 20
grants representing 86 schools
in the latest round of Straight
A Funds. Its recommendations
include a $518,957 Straight A Innovation Fund Grant for Marion
City Schools’ Diploma Plus Acceptance for Every Marion Secondary Student program.
The initiative will benefit students while they attend Harding
High School and up to a year after they graduate.
“Our concern is what happens if our students encounter
difficulties after they graduate
and get accepted into college, a
career or the military,” Marion
City Schools Director of Educational Programs and Grants
Amy Wood said. “Where do
they go? Who do they turn to?
We want them to be able to continue to have our support.”
Money from the grant must
specifically go to the program
and cannot be used for other
expenses. It will allow the district to extend its reach beyond
what’s currently being done
and help students succeed after
graduation without taking away
from operating money already
being used.
Diploma Plus Acceptance creates pathways or career clusters
that align with the demands of
regional businesses and industries. The idea is to make sure
they leave high school with either college credit or credentials
that will help them get a job. The
goal is to make sure every student leaves high school with not
only their diploma but acceptance into a college or university, a training program or apprenticeship, the military, or a
high-earning, high-demand job.
The Straight A grant will let
the district stay connected with
graduates for a year after they
graduate from high school. Stu-
dents will receive career counseling during and after high
school. The high school’s guidance counselors will collaborate
with two success coaches shared
with Marion Technical College,
The Ohio State University at
Marion and GEAR UP at Harding to monitor student success.
Wood, who wrote the grant
application, said she considered
things that could go wrong like
if a student loses a job or drops
out of college. She said building these relationships while
students are still in high school
is part of “building social capital for students so that, if they
stumble, they have a person to
call.”
Superintendent Gary Barber
said it will let the district work
closer with The Ohio State University at Marion and Marion
Technical College to address
student success after students
graduate from Harding.
“We know persistence in college and adult education is an
issue,” Barber said. “Seven out
of 10 kids that attend college
nationwide don’t persist. This
grant will give us the access and
a system to make improvements
in that.”
Part of the grant will fund
Marion ity Schools’ collaboration with EDWorks, known for
its work designing innovative
schools to empower first-generation college students and traditionally underserved students
to graduate better prepared for
college. EDWorks will provide
professional development to
teachers who will teach classes
in specific career clusters.
Representatives from EDWorks will also expand their
work with a design team made
up of educators and community
members. Part of what makes
Diploma Plus unique is its inclusion of community members who share insight into how
the district needs to change its
schools to provide the skills that
the community needs. The design team meets monthly as its
involvement helps the district
establish a rigorous set of pathways for high school reform that
are relevant to those needs.
Debbie Howard, EDWorks’
chief executive officer, congratulated the district on its success and said recent grants like
the Straight A Fund grant are
“a vote of confidence” for the
hard work the district is doing
to benefit students and the community.
“The district leadership is on
a mission to connect Marion
students and teachers with the
community and to help students
understand how the knowledge
and skills they learn today will
translate to a better life and a
rewarding job in the future,”
Howard said. “That energy is
contagious!”
The Straight A Fund Governing Board recommended $14.6
million in funding statewide.
The recommendations will go to
the Ohio Controlling Board for
final approval on Feb. 22.
“The Straight A Fund has unleashed a wave of creativity as
educators look to bring innovation into their classrooms and to
modernize their schools,” said
Lonny J. Rivera, the state’s interim superintendent of public
instruction. “These grants will
finance bold, new learning and
cost-saving projects that will
help teachers and administrators better equip their students
for today’s global workplace.”
Ohio Gov. John Kasich created
the Straight A Fund in 2013, and
the state budget in 2015 included $30 million to continue it.
Community and business leaders volunteer their time to give input to Marion City Schools’ Diploma Plus program to help shape education to fit the community’s needs.
Vision of Marion City Schools
Provide an innovative and
rigorous instructional model
to ensure each student’s
academic and personal
development.
Collaboratively establish a
safe, respectful and caring
environment that promotes
student learning.
Establish processes
to communicate and
collaborate
effectively with
stakeholders.
Manage and prioritize
human and financial
resources effectively to meet
district goals.

Senior following family’s military tradition
Harding student shows
Diploma Plus spirit
By STEVE FUJII
Director of College/Career Success
There are roughly 2 million
minutes from the time freshman
walk into their high school experience to the moment of graduation. Seniors approaching their
spring semester have their feet
in two worlds as they reflect on
those 2 million minutes and as
they contemplate the life choices
ahead of them. Each of them is
looking forward to graduation
and is certain that they are prepared for the world beyond our
walls.
However, whether their words
reflect it or not, most of them are
uncertain and nervous about
what life will bring. This is not
the case for PV2 Tessa Kolman.
She knows exactly what she
wants to do and she is confidently striving to get there!
Tessa Kolman is a private in
the United States Army. She has
finished her basic training at Ft.
Sill, Oklahoma and is eagerly
anticipating her Advanced Individualized Training (AIT) at
Ft. Sam Houston in San Antonio
Texas after graduation from HS.
During this individualized
training she will learn the skills,
knowledge and attitudes to becoming a combat medic. She
started on this path after her
Junior year when she had taken
the Armed Services Vocational
Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) test
at Harding High School. This
opportunity is when Tessa’s
path became real.
As a student she entered Harding High School as a freshman
and became involved in cheer for
basketball and football. She has
participated in volleyball and
been serious about track during
each year at the high school.
As the youngest of five siblings
Tessa comes from a family with
deep roots in the military. Her
grandfather served as a combat medic in Vietnam, her father served in the US Army and

where her brother is currently
serving on active duty as an MP.
You can see that she has always
had a desire to serve.
But the military way of life
was never more appealing than
it was after she learned that she
could attend college with 100%
of her tuition paid for by Uncle
Sam. Tessa plans to attend her
AIT and return to The Ohio State
University at Marion in order to
continue her education.
So while our seniors think
about jobs, college scholarships
and passing government class,
PV2 Kolman remains calm and
level-headed about her future.
She focuses on her physical fitness and her mental sharpness
knowing that any challenges
ahead will be ones she has already won. She says that there is
a certain level of confidence that
someone gains by “roadmarching 12 miles with a heavy backpack in the middle of the night
with a flashlight and a map to get
to your destination”. This is a
student who has already gained
her Diploma + Acceptance! Her
advice for others is to “be yourself and be confident. I saw people make it through Basic Training that I didn’t think could. In
fact, people even told me that I
was making a mistake. Now I
know that they were wrong and
that I can do anything! Take it
day-by-day and don’t quit until
after the next meal!”
Congratulations and thank you
for your service Tessa Kolman.

Column: Manager’s story shows
what’s right with sports
By ROB MCCURDY
The Marion Star
Adults doing the right thing
isn’t a foreign concept. Kids being selfless instead of selfish is
possible. Sportsmanship is not
dead.
Zach Slone became a viral video star because he made a notable shot, but a lot of good things
had to happen for it to become
the moment it became.
“The way the whole thing
unfolded was pretty special,”
Harding Athletic Director Sean
Kearns said. “It was a great moment for Zach and a great moment for both teams and everybody who was there.”
Slone is a senior manager for
the Prexies and has been with the
group since they were in middle
school. He films the games, he
gets the water and runs the clock
at practice, he doesn’t miss open
gyms, and he helps with the elementary school program. And
when he has time, he gets his
own shots up on the side.
Slone is someone who’s always
around, but also someone easy
to overlook. However, his teammates and coach recognize his
contributions.
“He’s always just been one
of the guys to be around. He’s
fun,” fellow Harding senior Jordan Scott said.
Don Worstell has been coaching basketball since 1989. He’s
taken teams to the state tournament, but he’d never done what
he did Friday night. He remembered a request Slone made in
the preseason: Could he dress
with the team on Senior Night?
As a sort of spur-of-the-moment decision last week, Worstell secretly set the plan in motion. He made sure there was a
uniform waiting and put Slone’s
name in the scorebook to make
it official. He didn’t have to do
it, but he did because of what
Slone meant to the program.
“You’re always concerned
about the integrity of the game
and how it’s going to impact
the other school, but once there
was a margin and the game was
not in question, it just felt like
the right thing to do,” Worstell
said.
Other right things followed.
The Fairbanks coaches saw a
new name in the book and wondered who it was. The Harding
team found out at halftime and
made sure to stretch the lead out
so that their buddy could get his
moment on the court. The junior
varsity coaches got Slone from
his film perch at the end of the
third quarter and sent him to the
locker room to suit up.
“I know Zach, and he’s been
wanting to play since seventh
grade year. He’s in the gym all
the time running around and
shooting,” Harding senior Roger Hamon said.
It became a rallying cry within the team and when it finally
happened.
“It was awesome,” said Harding’s leading scorer, Tyler Longstreth. “Slone has been with us
since seventh grade, and to see
something like this happen and
to make him this happy and actually get to play (is great). He’s
always managing us, so for him
to actually get on the court and
us support him like that was
great. It’s just what we pictured
— Slone getting out there.”
With about 90 seconds to go,
Fairbanks coach Justin George
called a timeout with his team
trailing big. His message was
simple: Let No. 25 score if he
gets the chance.
Another adult doing the right
thing.
“The rest is history,” George
said.
But a lot more sportsmanship
had to go into making it history.
Slone shot a few errant 3-pointers, but eventually he was set up
for a feel-good layup. However,
that’s not why the video went
viral.
The Prexies had one last possession and fed Slone the ball
for a 3-pointer. He missed. A
teammate rebounded and fed
him again. But it was another
miss, with the ball bounding out
to Colton Green, of Fairbanks —
the unsung hero of the night.
A little background on Green:
He’s one of 32 children, some of
which are special needs. If the
ball bounces to any other Fairbanks player, they likely hold
the ball for three seconds and
walk off the court after a 66-45
loss, and everyone would have
been happy with how it played
out.
Yet through destiny, the ball
found Green, who without hesitation tossed it out to Slone for a
final 3-point attempt. Green can’t
get credit for an official assist,
but as the ball drained through
the net with the buzzer sounding, the kid will never throw a
more meaningful pass.
“It was a great attitude by the
kid,” Harding senior Jesse Ansley said of Green. “He saw that
we had a player come in who
was not exactly a threat, but
for him to have the sportsmanship and the compassion for the
game and for him to realize that
would make Slone’s day for him
to be able to get that last shot attempt, for him to make that happen, it was a great moment for
him, and we’ll never forget it.”
Slone finished with five points,
which set off a mosh pit on the
court as his teammates piled
atop of him in celebration, soon
joined by the Harding student
section.
“It was one of the craziest
things I’ve ever been a part of,”
Harding’s Taylor Peterson said.
“It was a lot of fun, and it was
a great experience for Zach and
the team.
“It’s really awesome that it
happened on senior night and
that he got to go in. We’re hoping other people around will
see these kind of things like
how long he’s waited to get his
chance and he finally got to go
in. He persevered.”
Slone made the shot, but a lot
went into it.
He had to show punctuality,
reliability and loyalty over six
years to earn the chance. Worstell had to set it in motion by
granting that request made long
ago. His Prexie teammates had
to want to play well enough to
build the cushion needed to get
their friend on the court. George
had to see beyond the impending loss for Fairbanks and make
a request opposing coaches
don’t make: Let the kid score.
The Fairbanks players had to
listen to their coach, and one in
particular — Colton Green —
had to take it beyond that.
“We live in such a selfish society,” Worstell said, “and it was
so cool to see everyone thinking
of someone else.”
A lot can be taken from Zach
Slone’s viral story.
“It’s a life lesson and it’s more
than basketball,” George said.
“That’s what we’re trying to do
and instill in our kids here. Basketball is important, but outside
it, being a good member of your
community is as well.”
Selflessness,
sportsmanship,
doing the right thing, seeing the
bigger picture — those 90 seconds in an otherwise unremark-

Taft peer mediators become leaders
A peer mediation program at Taft Elementary School is shaping
student leaders while cutting down on discipline issues handled by
administrators.
Taft launched the peer mediation program this school year thanks
to a $5,000 grant from the Marion Community Foundation. The
money went towards training a group of students and staff in mediation techniques at the end of the summer break.
The student mediators are now helping their peers settle disagreements and other issues that happen during the school day. They
get involved in issues like name calling or arguments that happen
in school or on the playground and help students work out their
problems.
“We have these forms and we follow the steps,” 5th grader Mariah
Toombs said. “We don’t take sides and say who’s right or wrong.”
Major conflicts still get referred to the principal, while mediators can let their peer mediation coordinator, school social worker
Kathy Butler, know if it’s an ongoing problem or something more
serious.
Butler said they average about two or three mediations a week and
have had nearly 50 mediations this school year.
“The kids are doing a remarkable job, being proactive and they help
when they are out and about,” said Butler, who said sometimes the
students help de-escalate the situation without it reaching the
mediation stage.
Students are referred to mediation by teachers and other students but also may refer themselves. Butler said that happens
often as they choose an alternative to seeing the principal.
“Mediation is just a way to help them before they get in trouble,” Toombs said. “The principal needs to deal with bigger
problems.”
Butler said the school has seen a difference since the program
started. It’s taught the mediators leadership skills and cut down
on discipline reports.
“When students can work out their own problems we aren’t
having to do that for them,” she said.
Fifth grader Cameron Rayner said he’s enjoyed being a mediator.
“It helps everyone become a leader,” he said. “You know you
are helping other people.”
Fifth grader Jayden Combs said it makes him feel good because
he’s helping people settle their conflicts.
The school currently has 13 trained student mediators. Butler
said they will help train mediators for next school year. Students
said they are looking forward to sharing what they learned.
Notes from Harding’s guidance office
SCHEDULING – Classes of 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 are currently working on creating their schedules for next year. Students have

will input the information in the computers. After the first three
steps counselors will meet individually with students to go over
their selections and adjust them if needed. The following are things
that parents/guardians and students might need to think about in
this process.
