Rebel Reporter Celebrating Our 13th Year of Service Stark County School District #100 • November 27, 2013 • Volume 13, No. 4 MATH NIGHT AT SCES More photos inside! 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. Inside: Messages from the Administration • Calendar • Menus • & More! Page 2 • November 27, 2013 • Stark County Rebel Reporter From Superintendent Jerry Klooster 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, The Newsletter is made possible by a group of individuals who give their time to the processes of making, editing, and publishing the REBEL REPORTER. Staff: Desktop Publishing Class 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.

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.

Mrs. Tessa Samuelsen Mrs. Samuelsen Stark County Elementary Principal “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 Tessa Samuelsen Ford said, "Coming toStark County Elgether is the beginning, ementary School Princikeeping together is prog- pal ress, working together is ‘14 Yearbooks High school students may now reserve their copy of the 2014 Stark County High School yearbook, The Rebellion.

Awesome job first graders and thank you for being respectful, responsible and working with others in the cafeteria. SCES second graders and their families enjoyed an evening of math games and centers at Second Grade Family Math Night on Nov. 14. The event focused on math games students can play at home to reinforce skills learned at school. Students practiced basic math facts and place value skills while playing Math Twister, Swat!, Grand Prize Ping Pong, Think Big, Headbandz, and Beach Ball Toss. Measurement and Estimation centers, as well as take-home dice games, provided additional fun and learning opportunities.

Each student received a $25 gift card. Frightful Fun for a good cause was sponsored by Stark Smart. Students and staff donated money to the Stark County Food Bank for the opportunity to wear crazy hats on Halloween Day. Stark County Food Bank representative Bonnie Schmidt was presented $345.00 by several Stark Smart participants. The picture for the September student of the month winners were, from left to right, Joni Kinsella of the State Bank of Speer, 6th grade - Elena Hafner daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Doug Hafner, 7th grade - Braden Ely son of Mr. & Mrs. Brian Ely, 8th grade - Troy Hippen son of Mr. & Mrs. Jarrod Hippen, and Lynne 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.

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 LTC HS Chorus festival was hosted by AlWood on Nov. 14.

Page 8 • November 27, 2013 • Stark County Rebel Reporter 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 Stark County Elementary 1st Quarter Honor Roll 2013-2014 Principal’s Award: Nicole Bennett Olivia Bessler Sarah Fairfield Marley Hillan Olivia Hopp Kylie Salisbury Trinity Shimmin Highest Honors Caden Daum Mia Happ Joshua Kraklow Caley Martin Riley Menssen Emily Sulaski Jade Webster High Honors: Hailey Gurnsey Chris Morrow Raiden Porter Karsyn Rewerts Honors: Lena Becker Kelsey Berchtold Brett Browning Shai Draminski Brenden Gibler Keegan Harmon Matthew McCauley Kaytlin Pearl Laila Vaughn 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!
