Join us on Saturday, June 13, 2015 for Oberlin’s Annual Juneteenth Festival on Tappan Square! Juneteenth or June 19, 1865, is considered the date when the last enslaved persons in Texas were freed. Although the rumors of freedom were widespread prior to this, actual emancipation did not come in Texas until June 19, almost two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, January 1, 1863. And slavery in Delaware was not officially abolished until December, 1865. Juneteenth symbolizes the end of slavery and the beginning of freedom. While its roots are in Texas, Juneteenth has become a day to celebrate freedom all over the United States. Over twenty years ago, Adé Sharpley began the celebration of Juneteenth in Oberlin. Oberlin’s history of commitment to abolition and the cause of freedom makes Juneteenth the perfect holiday for this community.

These are the words that came to mind for Oberlin Board of Education member Barry Richard as he eulogized John Schroth on April 27, 2015 at First Church in Oberlin. Oberlin Schools at Work Summer 2015 Oberlin_6-15.indd 11 Clarifying the term ”ALL-IN” Richard continued by saying, “John’s commitment to the district and his art of being a superintendent was without limits. He was an enigma to most of us on the Board when Geoff Andrews, former superintendent, recommended that John take over for him. A superintendent search was discussed, but Page 1 5/27/2015 8:11:34 AM Andrews was persuasive that John was the right person for the job. Continuity and knowledge of the mechanics of the district swayed the Board in John’s direction and he was appointed as superintendent without further searching. John grew into his job and developed his own style, which fit perfectly in dealing with some of the issues the district faced at the time.” “John had reached the pinnacle of his career. He was driven, he was cooperative and his own nonintimidating style slowly gained the respect of the staff. His knowledge base was strong. He understood policy, was a fiscal conservative and he handled parent and student issues with skill and tact. He related well to all staff members.” “He was a craftsman by trade and knew how things worked and about manual labor. He knew the classroom and he understood adolescence. All of these attributes made him who he was, an effective superintendent in the right place at the right time. It was his destiny.” Richard shared his personal relationship with John by saying,” At first I was not sure what to make of John in social situations. He was so darn quiet. I remember thinking can this guy really be the point person for the district? Quickly the barrier that sometimes exists between a Board president and first time superintendent came tumbling down and we became an effective team.” “As John grew into the job, his physical presence in the district grew. He was at plays, concert bands, open houses, orchestra, academic and sporting events. His presence made an impact. Parents, staff and students noticed. He had the pulse of the district and anyone could approach John to talk shop or just shoot the breeze. By making himself accessible, he was clearly the leader of our district.” “To add more credibility to his commitment and with his family still residing at their family homestead in Columbia Station, John and Rebecca Schroth open enrolled their twin sons into the Oberlin Schools. He made countless trips Page 2 Oberlin_6-15.indd 12 between his home and Oberlin shuttling Chris and Cameron. He attended after hour school events via his beloved Saab convertible. Luckily he was mechanical, as he put tons of miles on his Saab, which was not always reliable.” “As with any successful manager, leaving your organization stronger than when you came is important. John accomplished this with a strong work ethic, honesty and humility. You can never please everyone, but on balance, I believe our district employees love and respected John. He was “ALL-IN”. Never once complaining about his physical condition and always looking to take our district forward, he gave it his “ALL” right up to the end of his life. In conclusion Richard noted,” John Schroth truly loved his work and he loved Oberlin.” Barry Richard/Oberlin Board of Education Member Reflections from Board & Staff Members: “John Schroth came in a time of some turmoil with finances in dire straits as a result of the recession. He brought the district to the forefront as an International Baccalaureate School. He continued the path of excellence and put our finances on a solid footing. John brought talent, leadership, dedication and devotion to Oberlin. He will be sorely missed.” Ken Stanley / President Oberlin Board of Education “John was a true friend and I was honored to be mentored by him.” Ty Stillman /Athletic Director “John was not a boss he was a true leader. John’s quiet and confident demeanor reflected sincerity, honesty, loyalty and fairness at all times. He brought integrity and a sense of peace to the office every day. I do not believe there is a person out there who could not work well with John, not here not anywhere.” Jacquie Dovin / Assistant to the Superintendent “I saw John as one who persevered.” Pam Carter / Administrative Assistant Oberlin Schools at Work Summer 2015 5/27/2015 8:11:34 AM “John was a great guy and an exceptional leader. Openness to new ideas, sharp wit, and an open door policy made John a pleasure to know both personally and professionally. He will be greatly missed.” Steve Nielsen / Director of Technology "I remember John as a steadfast leader who was firm, unyielding, supportive and above all else committed to the students, faculty of Oberlin City Schools and the greater community of Oberlin. His leadership, dedication and friendship will be greatly missed by all here in Oberlin." William Baylis / Principal Oberlin High School “John Schroth was a honest, hardworking, humble man who dedicated himself to serve the students and families of Oberlin City Schools. He loved being a part of all of the positive changes for all of our students in our schools and in the community. John was truly an advocate for all students. I will miss he calm demeanor, his constant support, and his sense of humor.” Liz Rogel / Director of Pupil Services “His vision for Oberlin Schools is one aspect that I admired about John. He wanted the best for Oberlin and the children of Oberlin. He will be missed.” Sue Alig / Principal, Eastwood Elementary Cake Decorating at OHS With increased enrollment in the Family and Consumer Science classes at OHS, teacher Donna Shurr was not sure how she was going to get 30 students to make enough icing to decorate 60 cakes without taking three weeks to make them. Leo Braido, new owner of our Oberlin IGA, came to the rescue. Master baker, Christine Davison, helped Shurr make large batches of icing at the IGA Bakery. Students Maxine Redd and Caleb Hughley on the right proudly display their creations. The handson-project is one of the favorite units in the cooking segment. Students developed the basic skills necessary to successfully complete a character cake, birthday cake and cupcakes. This opportunity makes a tangible connection from the classroom to a real life setting. Many opportunities to use mathematics are made with this unit; from measuring icing ingredients for the proper consistency to dividing the cake into even sections to plan the placement of flowers and birthday greeting. Oberlin Schools at Work Summer 2015 Oberlin_6-15.indd 13 Through the generosity of the Oberlin Schools Endowment Grant, students were provided with a basic kit of decorating supplies. These tools will allow them to continue to use their cake decorating skills for personal enjoyment, family celebrations and possible income. Each student brought home the two cakes for their families: one character cake and one birthday cake. Since service-learning is very important to our district, decorated cupcakes were taken to Oberlin Week Day Meals for the diners to enjoy. Students are learning to use their skills for the enjoyment of others. Page 3 5/27/2015 8:11:34 AM 11th Annual Iron Crafter Student Craft Design Competition Interact students won first prize at the 11th annual Iron Crafter Student Craft Design Competition. In the ultimate craft challenge, each of eight school teams of four students received an identical box of craft supplies and a secret ingredient. Racing against the clock, the students planned and organized their craft supplies to create “The Next Trendy Tote Bag”. Victoria Middlebrooks, Steven Mentzer, Anna Cameron and Tara Moore combined their artistic talents to design project. The students received the “Iron Crafter” trophy and a $100 gift card. They decided to donate their prize to the Oberlin High School Art Department to purchase art supplies. The students described their winning entry: “This trendy tote bag embodies the essence of spring. On the front we incorporated ribbon, pom poms, texture and vibrant colors. By weaving the textured ribbon, we created a basket impression. It appears as though we are having a picnic in the spring. On the back we used dual colors and a personalized label to complete the tote.” World Food Prize Ohio Youth Institute Eight Oberlin High School students, Eva Berndobler, Thomas Cadenhead, Hannah Cipinko, Natalie Heiser, Willow Lipke-Benn, Mami Omata, Aliya Rednour and Abigail Tackett participated in the World Food Prize Ohio Youth Institute on April 17th at the Nationwide & Ohio Farm Bureau 4-H Center in Columbus on the OSU campus. Eight students from around the state completed a research paper on the topic “Confronting the Single Greatest Challenge in Human History: Can we sustainably feed the 9 billion people on our planet by the Page 4 Oberlin_6-15.indd 14 year 2050?” and presented their findings to a team of OSU faculty and experts on Food Security. Former Borlaug Scholars John Cole and Reyna LaRiccia, who won the honor of attending the Global Youth Institute in past years, accompanied the group to volunteer as group escorts and timers for the paper presentations. As a semifinalist, Abigail Tackett (pictured here) was chosen for an interview. She was later selected as one of eight finalists to represent Ohio at the Oberlin Schools at Work Summer 2015 5/27/2015 8:11:35 AM three day Global Youth Institute in October hosted by the World Food Prize Foundation in Des Moines. At the Global Youth Institute Tackett will have the opportunity to meet Nobel and World Food Prize Laureates and discuss pressing food security and agricultural issues with students from around the world and international experts. Participants in the Global Youth Institute can apply for internships at agricultural research centers throughout the world. In recent years, Oberlin participant Rachel Mentzer obtained an internship in Bangladesh, and 2013 graduate Madeline Geitz spent a summer at the University of Peking In Beijing, China. Tackett will be eligible to apply for an internship next summer with the Borlaug-Ruan Internship Program. She could go to Taiwan, India, Kenya, Mexico or a U.S. facility. Teachers Donna Parrish, Donna Shurr and David Jarven are committed to mentoring students to learn about sustainability and food security around the world. “This program not only changed how and what I teach, it also changed me. What I care about and my approach to food has been forever altered .” David Jarven / OHS Teacher OHS Students Excel at National History Day Four students completed projects for District 3 History Day at Case Western Reserve University and defended their projects before a panel of judges. Hannah Cipinko, Angela Mavrich and Cat Mavrich created a website on Rosalind Franklin and her contributions to the understanding of DNA. The project, titled “Photo 51: The Untold Legacy of Rosalind Franklin” advanced to National History Day state level competition on April 25, 2015 at Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware, Ohio. The three students also took home the Oberlin Heritage Center’s Hubbard Prize at the National History Day Ohio District 3 contest. This award was created by Oberlin Heritage Center members Gail and Ned Hubbard of Centreville, Virginia to recognize student historians who live in Lorain County and present an outstanding paper, documentary or website project. At the State competition, the project then won first prize and will move on to National History Day at the University of Maryland in June. OHS freshman, Lucy Cipinko, also won at the District competition, writing her National History Day paper on Mary Church Terrell, one of the first African-American women in the nation to earn a bachelor’s degree (from Oberlin College in 1884). Lucy also advanced to the NHD state competition. Their advisor, Donna Shurr, is very proud of the research skills and excellent work that the students accomplished. Oberlin Schools at Work Summer 2015 Oberlin_6-15.indd 15 Page 5 5/27/2015 8:11:35 AM Oberlin Rotary Youth Exchange During this past summer Catherine and Angela Mavrich’s family hosted an exchange student from France in their home. Realizing what a great opportunity this was, both sisters decided that they would investigate exchange programs. Wanting to live and experience another culture, they both applied to the Rotary Youth Exchange Program. Beginning on August 25, 2015, Angela Mavrich will be enjoying a long term exchange to France for the 2015/2016 school year. France was the perfect choice for Angela, since she loves the French language and is looking forward to improving her skills through this program. Catherine Mavrich chose a short term exchange for the summer since she is a full time IB Diploma student. She is going to Ambato, Ecuador for a six-week stay with a host family who has two children. Her host sister, Abi will be accompanying Mavrich back to America for a six week stay in Oberlin. Mavrich also wanted to experience a new language and culture, being that she is a Spanish student in school, and thought that Ecuador would be a perfect match for her. After attending the World Community Workshop sponsored by the Oberlin Rotary Club, she was inspired to go out of her comfort zone and seek this valuable opportunity. The exchange students she met at last years workshop encouraged her to take on this adventure. Zoe Bickel chose a long term exchange for next school year. She is eager to experience a new culture, meet new people and learn a new language. She will be heading to Thailand for the 2015 –2016 school year. She chose Thailand because of the opportunity to learn about another religion along with learning a new language. She became interested in exchange through her work with community projects with the Interact Club at Oberlin High School. The Allen Memorial Art Museum The Allen Memorial Art Museum opened its doors at 8:15 am to the OHS intermediate French students thanks to Jason Trimmer, curator of education, and French tutor and curatorial assistant , Mallory Cohen. As a warm up exercise, Trimmer encouraged and helped the students Page 6 Oberlin_6-15.indd 16 Oberlin Schools at Work Summer 2015 5/27/2015 8:11:35 AM analyze, in English, an 18th century French painting. On the previous day, students reviewed a vocabulary list that Cohen had prepared for them. Time flew as they made comments, in French, on the fascinating impressionist, postimpressionist, and contemporary paintings that Cohen had picked. Students felt privileged to have had the museum to themselves, guided by such knowledgeable, passionate, and most importantly, generous experts. Interact Club Attends Food Safety Training covered during the session were basic food safety to protect the integrity of the product that will be distributed and the health and safety of all. Since many of our students are graduating seniors, the students participating were all underclassmen that will continue the program next year. Students involved in the Oberlin Interact BackPack Program received Food Safety Training at Second Harvest Food Bank to be better prepared to properly receive, store and distribute food safely. Julie Cruz-Blair, Program and Education Coordinator for Second Harvest Food Bank of North Central Ohio Held the training in the spring. Second Harvest works in partnership with 106 partner charities to help those at-risk for hunger in our community. Our Oberlin BackPack Program is one of those programs. Each of Second Harvest’s member agencies is required by Feeding America to have trained staff and volunteers. To support this requirement, the Food Bank provides opportunities throughout the year for member agencies to receive the information they need to make the best possible use of our resources. The students received a tour of Second Harvest’s facilities. Also, Oberlin Schools at Work Summer 2015 Oberlin_6-15.indd 17 First District 6600 Interact Conference was held at the Kalahari Conference Center. Twenty OHS Interact students joined sixty other high schools students throughout Ohio to learn best practice from each other. One of the highlights of the conference was a service project packing 20,000 meals of rice and vegetables that will be shipped to Jordan for families in refugee camps. After completing the service project, the students participated in team building activities and shared their local service projects with each other. In the afternoon they finished the day at the water park. This event was planned and supported by the Oberlin Rotary Club. The Oberlin students traveled together with the Interact students from the Lorain County Joint Vocational school. Page 7 5/27/2015 8:11:35 AM Prospect School PYP Exhibition Each year authorized Primary Years Program (PYP) International Baccalaureate Schools hold a PYP Exhibition. Students aged 10 to 12 who are in their final year of the program are expected to carry out an extended, collaborative inquiry project, known as the exhibition, under the guidance of their teachers. It is a significant event in the life of a PYP school and the school’s students. The Exhibition is a culminating experience for students in their last year of the PYP (5th grade for Prospect) to exhibit and share their understanding of the learner profile that they have been developing throughout their experience in the PYP from Pre-K to 5th grade. It is the student’s opportunity to use all of the elements of the PYP to demonstrate their learning and share it with the whole school, their families and the community. The elements include all Learner Profile terms, attitudes, key concepts, related concepts, and the trans disciplinary skills for the PYP. All of these decision and choices are made by the students under the guidance of the staff and mentors. Each year all students take part in 6 units of inquiry. In the fifth grade students participate in 5 units of inquiry plus the Exhibition unit of inquiry. This year the students are using the How We Express Ourselves unit of inquiry as the base for Page 8 Oberlin_6-15.indd 18 developing their unit. This theme is described as an inquiry into the ways in which we discover and express ideas, feelings, nature, culture, beliefs and values: the ways in which we reflect on, extend and enjoy our creativity; our appreciation of the aesthetic. This year students have explored countless current events and issue in the real world around them. They were able to categorize the topics into interest groups and each student chose an area about which they felt passionate. The topics for this years’ PYP Exhibition are: • Texting and Driving • Amur Leopard • Childhood Sports Injuries • Gram: Girls Rights and Malala • Living with Disabilities • Safety in Kids’ Sports • Head Injuries • 21st Century Schools: Designing creative learning spaces - in what type of school would we like to learn? • Animal Abuse • Safe Water • Civil Rights • Child Abuse • Youth Inventions: Inventions from young inventors that shape the way we live Oberlin Schools at Work Summer 2015 5/27/2015 8:11:35 AM Schools are given considerable flexibility in their choice of the real life issues or problems to be explored and investigated in the exhibition. Students are guided by their teachers and are required to engage in a collaborative, trans disciplinary process that involves them identifying, investigating and offering solutions to real life issue or problems. Student groups have the use of community volunteers to be their mentors. Groups may take field trips connected to their topics, complete interviews, create power point presentations, have guest speakers, conduct surveys and use a variety of other strategies to prepare a display. Their audience includes the school community, the local community and a variety of IB school staff from across Ohio. The Exhibition has several other purposes. Students can demonstrate independence and a responsibility for their own learning and gives them the opportunity to explore multiple perspectives along the way. This experience unites students, teachers, parents and other community members in collaborative activities that are essential to the PYP. Finally, it is a culminating experience marking the transition from the PYP to the Middle Years Program (MYP). The 2015 Prospect School PYP Exhibition is on May 28, 2015 Rotary STRIVE Scholarship Recipients Students Taking Renewed Interest in the Value of Education (STRIVE) is a motivational program targeted to high school seniors who want to make the most of their last year of high school. The STRIVE program was incorporated by Rotary International, District 6600 as a major project for Rotary Clubs to implement district-wide. Seniors sign a commitment form, and are encouraged to improve their attendance, attitude, GPA, and participation. At the end of the program, a District 6600 STRIVE Scholarship of $2,000, renewable for a second year, is awarded. At the Oberlin Schools at Work Summer 2015 Oberlin_6-15.indd 19 Page 9 5/27/2015 8:11:35 AM place winner with a $1000 scholarship and district level, there is also a $1,000 nonrenewable scholarship awarded to the runner-up.

He received a two complete the program are eligible for year renewable scholarship of $2000. STRIVE scholarships. The Oberlin Rotary Club sponsors committee chair John Cole presented the award three STRIVE programs: Oberlin, Keystone and to Columbus. Firelands High Schools. In April The Oberlin Rotary Club named Columbus Wilson the first The NEOEA Green School Award The Northeast Ohio Educators Association (NEOEA). Environmental Concerns Committee recognized the Oberlin High School with the Green School Award and a $250 grant. This award honors schools within the local affiliate that are leaders in environmental education. The leadership of our superintendent John Schroth and the Board of Education has been invaluable for these initiatives. The commitment to utilize the Creative Change Education Solutions, a curriculum and resource center has been very helpful to all of us. The lessons, which are available to all of our teachers, have saved countless hours as the teachers have developed units of study. To prepare for Page 10 Oberlin_6-15.indd 20 integrating these lessons into the Oberlin City Schools curriculum, many of the district teachers took advantage of the professional development workshops with Susan Santone, director of Creative Change. Another very helpful collaboration has been the support we have received from environmental Dashboard Project and Oberlin College Environmental Studies Department promote knowledge of environmental/social systems and how our actions have an impact on resource use. The Environmental Dashboard has given us a hands on opportunity to incorporate math, science, and quantitative reasoning concepts and skills in all grade levels. Using real time data on electricity and water use in schools and the city and water quality data from Plum Creek, the Dashboard makes teaching these concepts relevant. This project also enhance teaching of language and visual arts by engaging students in providing visual and text content for the “Community Voices” segment of the dashboard. Students become system thinkers and are inspired to be change agents in the school and community. Professor John Peterson, Danny Rosenburg and the cast of OC Environmental studies students who have worked with us have made our endeavors successful. Oberlin Schools at Work Summer 2015 5/27/2015 8:11:35 AM Four teachers from OHS have continued to prepare lessons and units around sustainability David Jarven (English), Donna Parrish (Science), Donna Shurr (Family & Consumer Science) and Jennifer Smillie (Math). Marlee Wobser (Math) has developed a unit on the Community Gardens. Ron Bier (Science) wrote and received a grant to restore the habitat of our courtyard garden, which is used as an outdoor classroom and place of enjoyment. Oberlin High School was honored to be recognized for their efforts to promote sustainability and responsible use of resource. Eastwood Events KinderCamp: Kindercamp will be held at Eastwood again this summer. This is a program for students who are registered for Kindergarten at Eastwood in the fall. KinderCamp will be held July 6-30, Mondays-Thursdays, 8:30-11:30. Applications are available at Eastwood, the Board Office and on the district’s website. Registration deadline is June 5. Student-led conferences: Almost all of the students participated in student-led conferences with a family member the evening of April 29. Students were able to have in depth conversations with a family member about their work and growth since the beginning of the school year. They practiced communication skills, organization and leadership skills as they were in charge of the conference. Parents had the opportunity to spend quality time seeing their child’s progress. First grader Audrey Schillinger is conducting a student-led conference with her parents. Kindergartener Mavis de la luz is sharing a story with his parents at the student-led conferences.

With a 31.3% reduction in electricity use and 10% reduction in water use, Prospect School took the title for the second year in a row. In total, the four Oberlin schools saved enough electricity to power a 4-person home for a year and a half. Made possible by support from the Environmental Dashboard Project (EnvironmentalDashboard.org), this competition marks the third year of collaboration with the Oberlin City Schools. In late 2012, Prospect worked with the Dashboard team to install realtime resource-monitoring technology in their building and a digital sign in their main hall-way that gives students and staff a compelling visual display of current electricity use in the building as well as city-wide electricity-use, water-use, and data on water quality in the Plum Creek. The sign also features images and quotes from community members relating to environmental stewardship and community pride. In early 2014, to gear up for the first Ecolympics competition, monitoring technology was installed in the rest of the school district’s buildings as well. “Implementing technology that provides realtime feedback on resource use engages, motivates and empowers conservation,” says Dr. John Petersen, Professor of Environmental Studies and Biology at Oberlin College and Director of the Environmental Dashboard Project. Dr. Petersen has been assisting in the organization of student-led Ecolympics competitions at Oberlin College since 2004. Over the past year and a half, the Dashboard team has been working with teachers in the Oberlin schools to develop lesson plans that use the Dashboard to strengthen Environmental Science curriculum and promote conservation. To this end, the Dashboard Project held a workshop for 10 local teachers in the summer of 2014. Teachers from all four schools participated. “The Dashboard is a wonderful teaching tool,” says Joy Harrison, a 5th Grade Teacher at Prospect Elementary. “It supports our units on the environment and electricity beautifully. The Dashboard helps us think locally as we investigate such global concerns as energy, conservation, water quality and the health of ecosystems.” Ron Bier, who teaches Chemistry and Environmental Science at Oberlin High School, uses the Dashboard to challenge his students to examine their own resource-use and consumption habits. He believes that teaching students about resource conservation is essential Page 12 Oberlin_6-15.indd 22 Oberlin Schools at Work Summer 2015 5/27/2015 8:11:35 AM believes that holding the competitions at the same time helps “promote a sense of community by strengthening ties between the city of Oberlin and Oberlin College.” to maintaining the economic, environmental and social well-being of communities. “What they take with them from school can affect the rest of their lives, and it can be what they take to educate people at home.” During the Oberlin City Schools Ecolympics, students at Oberlin College also held their own competition among dormitories to reduce electricity and water use. Melissa Cabat, a second-year Environmental Studies Major Oberlin Schools at Work Summer 2015 Oberlin_6-15.indd 23 To celebrate Prospect’s victory in Ecolympics, Oberlin College’s steel drum band, OSTEEL, will perform at an assembly on Wednesday, May 20. Additionally, all students in Prospect and Eastwood (the 2nd place winner) will receive Ecolympics stickers that feature the beloved Dashboard characters, “Flash the Energy Squirrel” and “Wally the Walleye.” For more information on Oberlin’s Environmental Dashboard project, visit EnvironmentalDashboard.org.
