Jan. 10, 2013 Students were chanting and cheering; the music was pumping; excitement filled the air as Kings High School students learned about respect, acceptance, and dropping social barriers. The Violence Free Coalition of Warren County in conjunction with the Kings High School Catalyst group brought RE-DO (Respect Everyone Despite Odds) to the high school. Throughout the day, students who signed up to be in the program, participated in group activities, games, small group discussions, and listened to guest speakers. The focus of the day was breaking down barriers so students could see how similar everyone really is—we all have similar problems. The goal of the program is to address the issue of bullying and stereotyping through respect. Freshman Ava Cornelisen signed up for the event so she could get to know more students. “I wanted to get to know more upper classmen. I thought it was really cool and I liked getting to see new people,” she said. The Violence Free Coalition sponsored RE-DO Day. Next, the coalition will sponsor RE-DO Next Step. This event will work with the Catalyst group on leadership. They hope to keep the momentum of the day going year-round, said Pat Clark, Violence Prevention Education Specialist. Students are pictured playing a game of Butt Volleyball. Page 2 Congratulations to Kings Alumni Katelyn Haralamos on being named to National Team of the Week.

And it’s always moving in one direction, downhill,” Suzanne Geisler told an excited group of second graders. Suzanne is the Environmental Educator with the Warren County Water and Sewer Department. Afterwards, students went to task creating their own runoff scenario. Using clay, students formed a mountain or hill then placed their creation in an aluminum pie plate. Students then placed a penny in the pan on the spot where they thought water would gather. When everyone was ready Ms. Geisler poured water over each mountain or hill to see if students’ hypothesis was correct. She was at Kings Mills Elementary on Wednesday, Jan. 9, talking to the second graders about water runoff. After reading Rain Rain Rivers by Uri Shulevitz, Ms. Geisler talked to students about rain and where it goes. “Sometimes water is absorbed by the earth. But water is not always absorbed,” she said. Ms. Geisler explained that water from roadways, parking lots and buildings becomes runoff. It is carried through the storm drains to the Quinten Burns made a mountain out of yellow clay. “I wanted to see if the water would get stuck, but it didn’t.” Since the mountain has more peaks and jagged edges, Quinten thought the water might pool on the sides. Matthew Smith (pictured watching water being poured over his hill) created a hill. “I wanted to see if the water would go down it on my penny and it did,” he said. The Kings Local School District’s Kokorodza Marimba Ensemble will once again perform at the Cincinnati Museum Center’s “African Culture Fest” the weekend of January 18. They will perform in the Patricia A. Corbett Children’s Theater on Sunday, Jan. 20, beginning at noon. Following their noon performance, they will present a short workshop teaching some of young audience members to play a marimba tune.

Find us at: http:// www.facebook.com/ KingsLocalSchoolDistrict Thinking Like a Scientist Using a giant blue ball and a simple light bulb, Dan Michael explained the concepts of rotation and revolution to a captivated fifth grade classroom. On Thursday, Jan. 10, and Friday, Jan. 11, Mr. Michael from the Warren County Educational Service Center visited Columbia Intermediate School to talk about space and the universe. “Any thinking person is a scientist,” he told the class. Mr. Michael then encouraged students to examine his model of the earth and decide what was good and bad about it. During his presentation Mr. Michael walked around the dark classroom, lit only by the light bulb (sun), holding his model of the earth asking students questions about the earth’s axis, rotation, tilt, and more. He explained that “orbits are all about balancing gravity with speed.” Students were amazed to find out that the earth is traveling at approximately 10,000 miles per hour through space. Mr. Michael also talked to students about comets, moons, and other aspects of the universe. Kings Girls Recreational Fast Pitch Softball Find KJH on Twitter!
