Oberlin Juneteenth, Inc.
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.

Superintendent John Schroth
Dec. 5, 1961 - April 23, 2015
Fair, common
sense,
grounded,
backbone,
loyal, work
ethic, driven, respectful, non
intimidating, never
complained, ego in check and
“ALL-IN”. 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.

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 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,

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

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

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

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.

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.

“Ecolympics”
Oberlin Schools Monitor Resource-use in Real-time and
Compete to Reduce
This April, Oberlin City Schools competed in their
second annual “Ecolympics,” a three-week
competition that challenged students, faculty,
and staff to reduce their electricity and water use.
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

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

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
