It Matters!
October is Bullying Prevention Month
October is recognized as a month to take a stand against bullying!!! On
Monday, October 5, 2015, students in Ware County wore blue to Step Up, Step
In, and Stomp Out Bullying. Students also signed pledge cards to say they
would “stomp out bullying”. We are so proud of our Ruskin students for
making this commitment!!!! Students in third, fourth, and fifth grade will
receive lessons on how to deal with bullying.
Career Bridge Expo – Held October 2, 2015 at Memorial Stadium
All 5th Grade students attended the Career Bridge Expo at Memorial Stadium last

also were able to participate in hands on experiences. The career expo ended with a
show from the Ware County Sheriff’s Department. They demonstrated what police
dogs can do to help officers.

Tyree Burse
Second Grade students from Mrs. Smith’s class enjoyed visiting
the YMCA! They learned pool/water safety rules and how to
swim! Many of the students were terrified of water upon arrival,
but by the end of the week were jumping into the deep end of
the pool and swimming back to the edge. The YMCA swimming
coaches were wonderful role models and were loved by all the
students! Thank you YMCA for providing this life saving
opportunity!

A BIG yee-haw to Mrs.
Guy’s class for selling the most
doughnuts! They won the
doughnut party! It looks like
they enjoyed their doughnuts!
Ruskin Kindergarten students in Ms. Kerry Thrift's and Ms.
Casey Bazemore's class learned all about the letter G and
about school pride. After learning about the sound that the
letter "G" makes, they learned words that begin with the letter
such as go, green, gold, and gator. Afterwards, as a fun
culminating activity, students used their hands dipped in
green and gold paint to create the shape of a gator on their
paper.
Led by their teachers, students chanted, "G is for green,
gold, and go gators!"as they proudly showed off their
creations.

Ruskin teachers, led by their principal Mrs. Kathy Stevens,
were welcomed to Garlington Community Center to present the
school’s Title I Annual Meeting. Unison partnered with Ruskin
Elementary to provide pizza, drinks, and door prizes for those who
attended.
Mrs. Janna Jones, Ruskin's Title I Parent Involvement
Coordinator, opened the meeting by explaining what it means to be a
Title I school and how parents can get involved their child's
education. Ms. Millie Thrift from Ware County Board of Education
followed with information about the TeleHealth program and
encouraged parents to sign up for the service. Mrs. Lisa Crosby, the
school counselor, spoke about the importance of school attendance
and urged parents to help their children to be present in school every
day. Teachers from each grade-level were present to talk with parents
and answer questions about curriculum and expectations.
In effort to reach as many parents
as possible, Mrs. Stevens plans to hold Title
I meetings in other locations within the
