A Publication of Oregon City Schools www.oregoncityschools.org THE OREGON ORACLE 5721 Seaman Rd., Oregon, OH 43616 Superintendent's Message 2016-2017 Student Re-registration Student re-registration will open on July 25, and end on August 5. All students in grades K-12 need to be re-registered for the 2016-17 school year. We will have an “Open Lab” for those who are unable to complete the process at home. The dates and times are as follows: Friday, July 29, from 8am till 5:00pm, and Monday August 1, from 8:00am till 7:00pm. As in the past, you will need to log into your Parent Portal to reregister your students. Please make sure you are able to log into your Parent Portal to avoid complications in July. If you are unable to log into your portal, or haven’t created one yet, please contact Linda at 419-6930661 ext. 3273 for assistance. The re-registration process will be the same as in past years. If you need assistance to complete the process, the Re-registration directions will be posted to the Oregon City Schools website at www.oregoncityschools.org prior to July 25. Additional information, and reminders will be sent out via email, and posted to the OCS website as we approach the July 25 date. New Immunization Required For All 2017 Seniors The Ohio Department of Health has recently announced that a new immunization will be required for students entering the 12th grade for the 2016-17 school year. A student entering the 12th grade will now be required to have a Meningococcal vaccine (meningitis-MCV4). Meningitis is a vaccine-preventable disease that can lead to neurological issues, seizures, loss of a limb, or death. There is a rise in meningitis in teenagers and college freshman in dormitories. If your child has already received this shot, and we do not have documentation of it, check with your health care provider for current vaccine records. Again, this shot is a state requirement to begin the senior year. Documentation of receiving this shot will be required to avoid any exclusion at the beginning of the school year. Please give documentation to the school nurse. New Tradition The graduating class of 2016 started a new tradition with the help of Art instructor, Mrs. Wamer, and several senior art students. During the last week of school, the senior students had the opportunity to place their handprint on the wall located in the 2nd floor hallway. The seniors were able to leave their “mark” on Clay High School. Clay would like to thank Mrs. Wamer and her students for their hard work and dedication to CHS! Pictured, from left to right, are Mr. Jurski, Alexa Sheahan, Katherine Menter, Mareena McAninch, Justiniauo Hernandez, Valeria Alba and Mrs. Wamer.

Students rotated through events every half hour, participating in activities which had students designing and building structures, comparing densities of objects, exploring the chemistry of food, experiencing applications using Google Earth, exploring the motion of objects, and many other events that involve problem solving, collaboration, and critical thinking. Math Masters Clay Volleyball Summer Camps Our 2016 Volleyball Camps will be run by Head Coach Dave Conley and the Clay Volleyball Program. Coach Conley will be entering his 13th year as a varsity coach. Under his direction, his teams have notched 5 League championships, 8 sectional championships, 2 District championships, and 2 State Final Four Appearances (2006, 2010). He has been named Conference Coach of the Year 5 times, District Coach of The Year twice, and All Press Volleyball Coach of the Year in 2013 and 2014. Coach Conley has also coached at the Club level for 16 years, and is currently the Club Director for Arsenal Volleyball Club. Third graders at Starr Elementary have been busy working on building their Math Mastery skills. As a school-wide initiative to build math skills was implemented, third graders aimed to impress by showing off their math fact knowledge. Students earned a building block for each operation they were able to master. Mastery is measured by earning a 95%, or above, three times on class timed tests in each operation. Students were also able to earn a special treat for meeting the quarterly goal for mastery of each operation. GENERAL SKILLS CAMP (7-8) Our General Skills Camp is guided under the premise of teaching the fundamental skills that a well-rounded player should possess, with focus on drills that introduce and improve all of the basic volleyball skills. Integration of competitive play will apply the learned skills in game situations, creating the most rewarding aspect of the camp. All campers will be placed into teaching groups based on skill level and ability. We will have groups, from the elite skills level camper to the beginning volleyball player. The ultimate goal for our camp staff is to develop a well-rounded volleyball player whether a beginner just starting out or an elite level player taking her game to the next level. We have an experienced camp staff comprised of camp directors and court coaches. Every coach on our staff takes tremendous pride in improving every camper they interact with during the 4 days of camp. Youth Camps (Grades 1-6) Fourth graders work together on a Roller Coaster activity, during which they create a roller coaster, using foam insulation tubing and tape, to run a marble for the greatest time and distance. ABCDEFG Ms. Karen’s class has worked on learning their alphabet all year. Each week was a new letter with new activities to go with each letter. One activity they did each week was to make a craft out of the letter of the week, upper and lower case. Then the letters were hung out in the hallway for other classes to see. Some classes would come by just to see if they could find the new letters each week. The students had a great time learning their letters. The Clay Volleyball Youth Camp is designed as a fun introduction to the game of volleyball for children entering grades 1-6. Each day will include a 2-hour teaching session with a snack break at the half-way point of the camp. The focus of the camp will be on basic volleyball skill instruction, games, and fun activities. This will be an exciting and fun way to introduce your child to the sport of volleyball. Space is limited!

Authors Nick Rokicki and Joseph Kelley visited Coy Elementary to share their newest book, Pete the Popcorn… Pickles, Peppers and Paprikas! This book, filled with alliterations, also features Toledo’s Tony Packo’s restaurant with lessons about friendship, heritage and trying new things. Coy was delighted to have these authors who are quickly becoming beloved names in the world of books for children! Their first book, Pete the Popcorn, carries a message of children offering encouragement to each other on a daily basis. Nick and Joe believe that the answer to bullying is encouragement--- and this will start with the youngest of children. The authors have visited with over 100,000 children in 25 states, holding motivational assemblies centered around book titles. Other titles in their collection include The Ideaparnockolis, a tribute to Dr. Seuss. Casey and Callie Cupcake is a Frosted Fable About Being Fantastic Just the Way You Are.

Google Me A Pass Please Mrs. Claydon and Mrs. Kretzer were chosen to present at the Google for Education Conference on May 16-17, at The Ohio State University. Mrs. Claydon created the “electronic pass,” which is a form that eliminates all paper passes and increases instructional time. Students self-fill out, using Google forms, show the teacher, and upon arrival back, submit his or her name once more. All administrators and teachers then have documentation that shows where the student is at all times, along with the exact time and date. In addition, they will present to the crowd of six hundred teachers how to use a Google form to group and regroup for differentiation. Adam Wehbi uses the electronic pass in the classroom before leaving. Hoops Noah James, 4th grader at Coy, raised over $500 this Feb for Hoops for Heart! Author Fair 3 Star The Fassett GT students once again completed an impressive study of new and favorite authors. Nearly 200 family and community members toured the fair, with some students giving their presentations a dozen times. Each student had a display with the author’s theme, a presentation including biographical information about the author, analysis of two of the author’s books, and discussion of classic literature. They also dressed in costume of their favorite character from the books. During second quarter, the students wrote to their authors, and some authors replied with letters or autographed books. Mr. Paul Gibbs, principal at Jerusalem, is giving a student in Ms. Singlar's class her Homework Star award for turning in her homework every day! Her classmates are applauding.

The combined 7th and 8th grade choir and both 7th and 8th grade bands took home top Gold ratings at this competition. They worked very hard for this performance, and then earned a day in the park as a reward for their outstanding performance. A demonstration on folding the flag was given. 4 Taking A Stroll The 4th grade at Starr, partnered with the Oregon Police Department, and the Oregon Branch Library to walk, and take a tour of the recently renovated library.

Scientific Investigations The Scientific Investigations class at Clay spent a few hours visiting the Scientific Investigations Unit, April 29. The students were able to learn about drug testing, fingerprinting, ballistics, using lasers to spot trace evidence, and looked at some crime scene photos to help “solve” the case. They then made posters, hanging in the hallway, to recap their experiences. What Has FFA Been Up To? State FFA Convention and AgriScience Fair On May 5 and 6, eight students from the agriculture program attended the FFA State Convention in Columbus. Six of these students participated in the AgriScience Fair while there. Max Venia and Rylee Chancey placed 2nd with silver rating, which earned them the privilege to walk across the stage to accept their award. Bailey Isbell and Kyle Myrice both earned silver rating, while Kelsey Meldrum and Lilli Czop both earned bronze. Also, while there, Kyle Myrice received not only a 1st place award for wildlife, but also a 2nd place state award for aquarium management. After awards, the students listened to a couple of inspirational keynote speakers and attended the Columbus Zoo. It was definitely a successful trip which we hope will happen every year. FFA Guest Speaker: Rosemary Low Rosemary Low, author of several avian references, gave an exceptional presentation, which took place at Clay High School in the Gold Eagle Café on May 3, in collaboration with the Environmental and Agricultural Technologies Career and Tech Program. Rosemary Low, an experienced birder who has aviaries around the world, came to talk to students and other local birders about parrots. Her presentation was on the different species of parrots, how to take care of them, what kinds of food to feed them and what not to feed them, and what kind of enrichment toys to use. Rosemary discussed how one could make his or her own toys to keep the parrots occupied. This was a great educational experience for those who attended. This information is very helpful to anyone who is thinking of having a parrot as a pet, and who wants to make more educationed decisions about having a parrot, to know if heor she would make a good parrot owner. Fairy Garden Show at the Toledo Zoo Students from the Oregon Clay FFA program participated in making fairy gardens during the month of April. The students who made fairy gardens where Kyle Myrice, Gavin Lewandowski, Dustin Canada, Nabil Tawil, Samantha Siefke, Greg Faneuff, Mason Larue, Nick Daly, Kenny Moore, and Micheal Puella.

All participants where allowed a free pass to the zoo on the weekend that gardens were displayed. District FFA Awards Banquet On April 29 the agriculture program went to Four County Career Center for the Disrtict One awards banquet. The students who went to the banquet were Kyle Myrice, Kelsey Meldrum, Alannah Chanthakham, Bailey Isbell, Samantha Siefke, Gregory Faneuff, Nick Larue and Katlyn Frohlich. The top four individuals received awards, as well as did the top four teams. State FFA Career Development Events Clay High School’s Agriculture students have competed in many state competitions this year, including Animal/ Aquarium Management, Wildlife/Nature Management, Agronomy, and AgriScienc Fair. The students went to different parts of Ohio to compete against the rest of Ohio’s best teams. In the competitions, the students often have to take multiple written tests over their topics, identify different species of plants and animals, identify different equipment, be judged during practicums, and for AgriScience Fair, students had to explain their project directly to two judges while using the scientific method. The students who have attended these CDE’s (Carreer Development Events) include Kyle Myrice (1st Place Wildlife, 2nd place Aquariums), Elizabeth Vincent (17th place Aquariums), Kelsey Meldrum (Aquariums), Max Venia (23rd place Animal Management and Nature Interpretation), Mackenzie Upham (Animal Management), Paige McNutt (Animal Management), Samantha Siefke (Animal Management), Bailey Isbell (15th place Wildlife Management), Greg Faneuff (17th place Wildlife Management), Branden Sloyer (Wildlife Management), Sam Vincent (Wildlife Management), Nick Kreiger (Wildlife Management), Nick Larue ( 24th place Agronomy), Alannah Chanthkham (Agronomy), Amanda Morris (2nd place Nature Interpretation), Dakota Jones (25th place Nature Interpretation), Mariah Morris (Nature Interpretation), and Lilli Czop (Nature Interpretation).

The Fitness Club, Youth to Youth, and Student Council from Eisenhower joined forces with Fitness Club members from Fassett to put on a fundraiser for the American Heart Association on Thursday, March 28, at Eisenhower Intermediate School. Almost one hundred students worked together to raise over $1,500 dollars in just nine days, and twenty teams of five students each competed in an exciting and educational event fashioned after the popular TV show, “The Amazing Race.” Challenges included games and activities to inspire better heart health by exercising, eating right, knowing how the body works – even lifesaving skills were introduced and practiced! Points were awarded at each challenge for skill, knowledge, strength, teamwork, and endurance, and unique “clues” were given, such as riddles for teams to figure out where to find their next challenge. Special businesses in the community made this event possible and openly supported the school, thereby enabling every student who participated to receive a healthy snack and a special reward for his or her efforts to raise money for this worthy cause. Participants were provided peanut butter, crackers, grapes, and cheese, which was donated by Red Sekinger at Jack’s Superette. Linda Rossler, from CharMar Farms, provided and prepared four dozen hard-boiled eggs, and Cindy Bench, from Bench Farms, prepared and provided fresh cut purple carrots and canary melon. Other vendors in the area chipped in to provide special prizes to the top teams and participants as well. Harry Cummins, from the International Boxing Club, provided a gift certificate for a free Saturday tour of his facility, along with a lesson for up to 10 children and their guardians. That gift certificate was won by: Micah Medina, Jase Kennedy, Sam Thatcher, John Newton, and Kaiden SanMiguel. Penny Keeler, from Penny Jo’s Eastern Lanes, provided 75 gift certificates for a free game of bowling, and Joe Kiss, from Joe’s Pizza & Kitchen, provided 10 free subs from his Subway business. Medals, basketballs, playground balls, soccer balls, jump ropes, stuffed animals, and T-shirts were supplied by the American Heart Association’s Youth Market Director, Tracy UlrichShepard, who worked hand in hand with Ms. Stevens to develop this year’s first event. The other club advisors: Mrs. Walters, Mrs. Materni, Mrs. McGill (from Ike), and Mrs. Olive, and Mrs. Porter (from Fassett) were also key contributors in getting the event off the ground. Several other Ike staff assisted in the production of the event, and stayed after school to assist with hosting challenges, along with parent, Mrs. Leila Tawil. The school held a special assembly the following Monday to promote the activity for next year, and to award the students who participated. The incentives that were donated by the American Heart Association and the supportive local vendors mentioned earlier were awarded to the individuals who raised the most money (Katie Clark & Jessica Williams), and the school organization’s member who “inspired” the most participants (Ella Orr). The team that raised the most money also received special recognition (Gilberto and Angel DeLuna, Maycie Breeden, Hannah Sprague, Nick Rodriguez and Evan Saxon). A trophy was presented to the Student Council advisor (Heidi Materni) because the student council members inspired the most participants in this year’s event. The trophy will remain at Ike for next year’s competition, which will be moved to February. The following week, all three Ike organizations (Fitness Club, Youth to Youth and Student Council) also combined to celebrate their success and to have some food and fun together one last time prior to the end of the year.

If you are unfamiliar with the idea of this organization, it is not a modeling club as many have mistaken. Model UN is a team that goes to competitions, and simulates United Nations conferences, in which high school student’s debate topics often discussed during real UN sessions. The delegates going to the competitions debate the issues from the point of view of countries that are currently in the General Assembly, Security Council, and other committees within the UN. While Model UN is a great way for students to get accustomed to public speaking, and learn more about the crises happening around the world, it is also an extracurricular activity that allows students to make friends from all around the area who have the same goals, and aspirations as themselves. In committee, it is not uncommon for an individual to notice the delegates from Russia, and the United States yelling at each other about nuclear non-proliferation, and then laughing together after there’s a motion to close debate. Clay is one of only a few high schools around Toledo that offers this amazing opportunity. They also happen to have one of the best Model UN teams in this area. Considering the number of students other schools take to the competitions, Clay wins a lot of awards despite the fact that they have a smaller number of delegates. This year at the Canadian American Security Council Summits (CASC), the delegate who represented the United Kingdom on NATO, Will Nagy, and the delegate who represented Kuwait on the Arab League, Tim Thomas, both won first place in their committees. Elizabeth Zak, who represented France on the Security Council, won second place in her committee. At the Mid American Model UN conference (MAMUN), the delegate on the Human Rights Committee, Tim Thomas, and Will Nagy, who were on the Legal Committee, both one first place; LeAnn Winslow won second place on the Security Council. As a member of the team, individuals will see their peers grow to become more outgoing, and globally aware. Model UN is an experience that will help students in college, as well as in their careers. The third grade classes at Starr Elementary were able to visit Providence Metropark as a result of the support from Starr PTO. The students were able to step back in time, and discover what life was like along the Miami and Erie Canal in 1876. Students were able to tour the historic Isaac Ludwig Mill ,and had the unique opportunity to see how antique milling equipment was used. The staff, and volunteers showed students the importance of using water- power to grind grain, and saw lumber. The students were able to learn what canal life was like during an hourlong journey on “The Volunteer” canal boat, along a restored stretch of the Miami and Erie Canal. The crew of “The Volunteer” handled the ropes, and opened, and closed the massive gates of the restored lock #44. The field trip to Providence Metropark was a memorable, and educational experience for all Starr third grade students! Students experience a ride on the canal. International Competition Eight students enrolled in the Marketing Education Program ended their year in DECA by competing at DECA’s International Career Development Conference (ICDC) held in Nashville, Tennessee, April 22 – 17.

It is definitely a memory that I will take with me after high school.” ICDC was the icing on the cake to an amazing year. The thirty-three junior and senior Clay DECA members earned forty-five district awards including nineteen first place awards. They earned ten state awards, including two second place trophies. DECA prepares emerging leaders and entrepreneurs in marketing, finance, hospitality and management in high schools and colleges around the globe.

Before creating their own video documentaries of an aspect of the Holocaust, they also visited the Holocaust Memorial Center in Farmington Hills, MI. The students toured the museum with a docent. After the tour, the students heard from a “hidden child” Holocaust survivor. Because his appearance allowed him to pass as “nonJewish,” Rene Lichtman’s parents put him in hiding with a family during the Holocaust. After France was liberated, Rene’s mother came to France to bring him “home.” Since he knew someone else as Mother from 2-7 years old, Rene had a difficult time. He is an advocate for hidden children all over the world. Holocaust Memorial and Chaperrones: Students and chaperrones are standing before the eternal flame memorial.

Super Sleuths A 300 Game Or Bust This year Coy School’s 4th grade students had the opportunity to sharpen research skills during visits to the school’s library. Their goal was to earn the title of “Library Super Sleuth”. Each week the reference section of the library featured a research question, and a special word to define, and use. Students carried out their investigations using any resource available, either in or outside of the library. However, our young detectives were also required to follow proper protocol when solving the “mysteries.” First, they had to identify their source, but most important, it was mandatory that their answers were complete sentences. It was also necessary to use the word of the week properly in a sentence according to the part of speech for the chosen definition. Each month correct submissions were included in a drawing. The more research a student conducted during the month, the more opportunities he had to earn the worthy distinction of “Coy Library Super Sleuth”. The designated Super Sleuth received the choice of a book to add to his or her personal library. Participating in this task encouraged students to develop, and refine research skills necessary for success throughout their education. Having such skills will also benefit them throughout life. The title of Library Super Sleuth for the 20152016 school year goes to the following students: Noah Schacht, Madelyn Lesniewicz, Olivia Karrick (twotime Super Sleuth), Skylar Grindle, Aaliyah Granger, and Marissa Ziviski. Congratulations to not only this year’s Super Sleuths, but to those who participated as well. On Tuesday, May 10, Mike Skitowski, adaptive physical education teacher for Oregon City Schools, took all of his students to Penny Jo’s Bowling Alley for a fun-filled day of bowling, pizza, and lots of camaraderie. Some students got strikes, some got spares, some needed assistance, and some did it by themselves, but everyone had a great time. Clay High School Honors Night 2016 On Tuesday May 17, the Clay High School Scholarship Committee proudly hosted the 2016 Clay High School Honors Night. The Committee exemplified honor through the recognition of not necessarily by what will be received, but by what has been given. Over the course of the evening, an emphasis was placed upon the core values of family, tradition, and community, which have been a foundation for the senior class in overcoming adversity and in triumphing both in academics and in life during their high school years. As dusk settled, the third annual social hour commenced with the unification of community donors, scholarship recipients, family members, and school administrators. These collective moments created a unique opportunity for donors and recipients to forge a bond through active communication. While smiles and laughter were plentiful, an emotional undertone of admiration and moral compass truly embraced all in attendance. The many generations represented shared memories of experiences in adversity, sacrifice, and selflessness. All were reminded that everyone has a story. With society being plagued with a multitude of hardships and distractions, this evening offered testimonial to those in attendance that the principal focus was on the dedication and the discipline of the students who have overcome obstacles on their paths to success. However, it did not overshadow the family members’ gallantry and structure peripheral to the school setting, nor the community donors’ passion and allegiance to community support and preservation. The unsung influence of the entire staff of the Oregon City Schools warrants accreditation for their devotion to offering the highest level of education. Additionally, the teamwork and assistance bestowed upon the preparation, execution, and success of this event speaks directly to our core values. Community businesses donated the linens, which transformed our high school cafeteria into an inviting reception hall for social hour. The Clay High School Environmental and Technologies Program created magnificent floral centerpieces, which were later presented to the community donors. The Culinary Arts Program orchestrated a menu of hors d’oeuvres with precision and delectable taste. Without question, these programs exceeded the expectations of all, and our deepest gratitude is extended to all of the above programs. The event continued into the Clay High School auditorium, where our senior class was recognized with community scholarships and academic honors. These scholarships are provided to Clay High School through various universities and colleges, and by way of outside entities. Over 68 seniors were honored with a combined 133 locally funded scholarships equaling over $113,715. Furthermore, the 2016 senior class was afforded the opportunity of approximately 6.5 million dollars in various available scholarships, of which 89 seniors accepted roughly 2.7 million dollars of those scholarships. The 2016 Clay High School Honors Night was made of honor and success through support and tradition. The stories, dreams, and memories shared will inevitably lead our future graduates into the next phases of their lives. These graduates will embark on their amazing journeys, which have been forever sparked by the core values of the Oregon City Schools and the Oregon Community.

Special Olympics award winners. Fund-Raiser for The American Heart Association Students and staff at Fassett Junior High School showed how big their hearts’ were by donating generously to The American Heart Association. Through their generosity, we were able to donate $1,000.00 to a very worthwhile cause! Did you know Heart Disease is the #1 cause of death, and 80% of those deaths can be prevented? Our goal was to not only educate our students about the dangers of heart disease, but also to encourage them to get heart healthy by getting 60 minutes of activity every day. On May 13, our students joined together to participate in heart healthy activities during our Fassett Heart Chase. At our “Heart Pump Station,” participants walked a minimum of 4 laps on our track. Next they moved to the “Lung Station,” where they did a minimum of 20 jumping jacks. Their 3rd stop was at the “Veins” station, where they jumped rope for a minimum of 1 minute. Then they went to the “Stayin’ Alive” Station, where they hula hooped for 3 minutes. Finally, they ended at “The Hydration Station,” where they received a bottled water to hydrate their thirsty cells. A huge thank you to all of our Fassett volunteers, friends, and family, for making this such a successful event!! We would like to dedicate our Heart Chase and AHA Donation to two very special members of our Fassett Family. Ollie Marleaux and Cooper Kesling are both living proof that all the funding for medical research and development pays off!! Fassett students participated in heart healthy activities.

Ollie Marleaux Red Grammer Day April 8 was an exciting day for Jerusalem Elementary School! Because of the generous gift of the Jerusalem Parents Group, grammy award winning singer and song writer, Red Grammer, came and spent a day with the students and staff. The city or Oregon even proclaimed that day as “Red Grammer Day.” Last spring, the 1st and 2nd grade students performed a concert of Red’s music, focusing on “Bucket Filling,” which is a program promoting positivity and kindness. Music teacher Elizabeth Gibson then entered her students in a video contest Red sponsored. Although Jerusalem didn’t win the contest, they did come in second place, and as it turned out, Mrs. Gibson was able to meet Red in California last summer. After a wonderful visit with him, she was determined to find a way to have her students and the staff and families of Jerusalem meet Red. His message of love, kindness, peace, and positivity is contagious! Mrs. Gibson came back to Ohio and spoke to the JPG and Mr. Gibbs, and they agreed to help make Red Grammer Day happen. The entire school was decked out to welcome Red, and there was even a door-decorating contest. During the school day, there were 3 “informances” where there were only a few grade levels Red Grammer performs for students. Red Grammer and Mrs. Gibson. Red Grammer, and Jerusalem students.

At the end of the school day, there was a concert for the entire school, and Red even got the teachers involved. That day concluded with an evening performance at Clay High School for Jerusalem students and their families. There was also an opportunity for students to get Mr. Grammer’s autograph and a picture. It was truly a wonderful day where everyone’s buckets were filled to the brim. Red was very impressed with the students at Jerusalem school, and he looks forward to coming back for another visit. We look forward to that, too! Kids On The Block Academic Dinner Recognition On Tuesday, April 19, BP-Husky held their 31st annual Academic Recognition Dinner. Annually, BP invites 30 high schools from around the area to a dinner to honor the top 2% of each graduating class from the invited schools. This year the dinner was held at the Hilton Garden Inn at Levis Commons. Fassett Fitness Club. Fassett Student Council held one last fundraiser this school year, a fundraiser for the Great Strides Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Cystic Fibrosis is a life-threatening genetic disease that causes persistent lung infections and progressively limits the ability to breathe. This disease affects one of our own Fassett Eagles. We sold footprints and each grade level raced foot by foot. The two grade levels strode down the hall to the finish line. The 8th grade edged out the win. We will be forwarding over $400 to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation towards Team Averi Rugg. Thank you to all who helped us “Stride Today and Add Tomorrows.” The monies will be forwarded to The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation towards Team Averi Rugg. With the gracious support from Starr Parents Group, the puppeteers from The Kids on the Block program, Brenda Engle and Kay Barbour, visited Starr’s third grade students. The Kids on the Block (KOB) provides educational puppet programs which enlighten all children on the issues of disability awareness, educational differences, and social concerns. The Kids on the Block, Inc. originated in 1977 in direct response to US Public Law 94-142, which required that children with disabilities be educated in the least restrictive environment. For many children, this meant being included in a classroom with their non-disabled peers. The Kids on the Block uses “hand and rod” puppets. This means that one hand works the mouth of the puppet and the other hand manipulates the rod for gestures. The puppets are 3 to 4 feet tall. Some of the puppets have a disability and use aids that make their character distinctive and realistic. KOB addresses a wide range of issues that affect today’s children including physically disabled, Down’s syndrome, learning disabled, blind or visually impaired, and deaf or hearing impaired. KOB has a strong commitment to providing communities around the world with programs that address children’s needs, questions, and concerns about these issues. The type of education the Kids on the Block programs provide will help to create positive attitudinal and behavioral change for present and future generations. The message that was reiterated to the third grade students’ was that everyone is special in his or her own way! 9 History Comes Alive Abraham Lincoln, Helen Keller, Martin Luther King, Jr., Amelia Earhart, and Rosa Parks were among the many famous people portrayed by Starr Elementary third-graders during the wax museum the week of May 9. The biography and wax museum project, where students gave speeches and dressed as the famous person of their choice, encompassed many learning objectives from the third grade curriculum. During the fourth quarter, each third grade student was responsible for researching a person of his or her choice, who has made contributions to society. After reading a biography about the person chozen, the students completed an outline, wrote a one page report, and decorated a poster displaying his or her life, including a life timeline. As an extension and integration of the Common Core Standards for Language Arts and Social Studies, the students then presented their person of choice through a wax museum. The students presented a brief one to two minute speech in the first person point of view telling about the person’s life and contributions made to society. All of the students were in full costume and recited facts, in character, to teachers, visitors, and other students. Everyone enjoyed listening to the speeches, and students were thrilled to see history come alive at Starr School! Olivia King, Anthony Espino and Skyler Muchewicz. Danya Abdulhak.

Remi Galyas. A Magic Kingdom Performance This past spring, 142 Clay High School band members traveled to Orlando, Florida, to perform at Disney’s Magic Kingdom. The band was selected to perform at the Magic Kingdom after submitting past performance videos and additional application requirements. The trip was not a requirement for the class. However, students needed to raise $810 each in order to participate in the trip. All funds that were raised were from the annual citrus sale, pizza kit sale, discount cards, or monthly payments by each family. No school district funds were used for this trip. Students left the City of Oregon by charter bus and by police escort (a special thanks to the Oregon Police Department) on Sunday, April 3. Once in Florida, the students spent time at Typhoon Lagoon, Disney Springs, Cocoa Beach, Universal Studios, and Epcot. The band marched in the 2:30 pm parade at the Magic Kingdom and spent the rest of the day at the park. Their performance was not only top notch, but well received by the 20,000 plus in attendance, and will be remembered for years to come. Heidi Straka was chosen the Sun Federal’s Extraordinary Teacher of the Year. Mr Gyuras (In uniform) gives a big thumbsup.

This day gives them an idea of what we do every single day for 180 days each year.” Every year between 20 and 40 students opt to participate in the program. The students are asked to work with their cooperating staff member to plan lessons for the different classes they are teaching. They are also asked to dress professionally and to meet for a group “staff photo” at the end of the day. The activities are documented by yearbook photographers. “This is a wonderful opportunity for seniors who may be Youth In Education day participants. going into education to get a taste of it, and to see whether or The tower on display in the Learning Commons at CHS. 10 Oregon City School Honor Roll (3.0 and above - The Honor Roll listed is accurate as of the date printed.

had Mrs. Melinda Lesniewicz visit to talk more about conserving our resources and the three states of matter. The students made their own paper using scraps from the classroom. First, they tore up the scraps into very small pieces and placed them into a cup. Next, they put them into a blender with water to mix up the colors. They had to let the water drain out in the next station, and then had to press it to make their paper. Thank you SO VERY MUCH, Keep Toledo-Lucas County Beautiful, for this wonderful program! Wax Museum On May 12, Coy’s 4th grade students dressed as famous Americans for their annual Wax Museum. Students researched Americans who have been important to our history, then told about them in the first person. Visitors to the museum included staff, parents, and the rest of the students at Coy. The students did a great job! OREGON ORACLE This newspaper is issued by the Board of Education and staff of the Oregon City School District.

Healthy Habits The second grade classes at Coy Elementary had a great time learning about nutrition and maintaining a healthy lifestyle thanks to a program sponsored by ProMedica. On January 8, a team of dietitians visited Coy and involved students in a fun and interactive presentation. The students rotated through four stations. Station one introduced students to a board game called Nutrexity which second grade teachers received a copy of for classroom use. Each student was given a drawstring knapsack from ProMedica. Station two was about exercising, and each child took home a jump rope to practice the good habits learned. Station three discussed better drink choices and the sugar content in some beverages. Students were each given a take-home water bottle with a fruit diffuser, teaching them that plain water can be a great alternative with a little fruity help. The fourth station was all about “My Plate.” Station leaders talked about choosing the best portion size and how to include all the food groups in daily meals. The dietitians made a healthy snack with the students and sent a bagful of the snack home with each child. The students loved the hands-on aspect of the presentation, and learned some valuable lessons to take home and share with their families. Clay High School: 5665 Seaman Rd.
