FAHS classified as exemplary school
By Knute Reierson
Frederick Area Superintendent
Frederick High School has been classified
as an Exemplary High Performance school
from the 2014-15 School Performance Index.
Also, the Frederick Elementary has been
classified as a Status school. Classifications
were made public with the release of the
Report Card on September 22, which can be
found on the school’s website.
Exemplary schools are those whose overall
School Performance Index score is among the
top five percent of all schools in South Dakota;
while, status schools are those schools whose
performance ranks in the next five percent

Routines benefit school and home
SUPERINTENDENT
CORNER
By Mr. Knute Reierson
Frederick Area Superintendent
Parenting has been defined
as one of the few jobs that come
with no instructional manual.
When new parents bring home
that “neat little bundle of joy,”
it is with excitement that we as
parents plan our lives around
the additions that we put at our
dinner table. So what are our
daily routines and how do they
affect our family!
1) Maintain daily morning
routines – walk the dog, eat
breakfast, shower, get dressed,
brush teeth and hair, etc.
2) After school routines –
students need some time (as
well as parents) to decompress
when they get home. Play,
small snack, exercise, walk, or
watching a short TV program
are acceptable before settling
down to start homework either
before or after supper.
3) Dinner routines – lasagna
on Monday, mac and cheese
on Tuesday, pick up or pop in
the oven pizza on Wednesday,
cheese sandwiches and soup for
Thursday with grilled burgers,
fresh fruit, and vegetables on
Friday makes for a consistent
schedule. Or make a rotating
schedule every two weeks.
Shopping ahead as an adult takes
the stress out of choosing meals
at the last minute.
4) Bedtime routines - These
are more written for younger
children who have an early
bedtime. Doing the routine
of taking a bath, getting your
pajamas on, reading to your
children all snuggled up, then
the tuck in, and bedtime prayers
being thankful for grandma
– whatever your habits, your
children will expect you to keep
them as this is precious time so
that they know they are loved by
you. Find a routine for the preteen and teen too. Setting out
your clothes the night before can
create less stress for all ages.
Routines make school and
home a more loving place. As
life has plenty of changes, make
a schedule and be flexible in
keeping it.
Being a student is hard work
By Mrs. Jessica
Ringgenberg
Frederick Area Principal
The students of the Frederick
Area School sure have been
busy over the last month.
Walking through the halls I
see students working on their
studies, preparing for classes,
and rising to higher standards
of education. After school, we
have students participating in
many extra-curricular activities
including volleyball, cross
country, football, band, and
academic groups as well. Many
of our students have also spent
time volunteering to make their
community a better place. It

is these kinds of students that
make the Frederick Area student
body a pleasure to work with
each and every day.
This is the time of year when
I think about this quote by John
Ruskin: “Education...is painful,
continual and difficult work to be
done in kindness, by watching,
by warning, by praise, but above
all -- by example.” With all of
the commitments our students
make, and the time crunches
we all feel, it is no doubt that
being a student is hard work.
It is important that we all value
their struggles and support them
as best we can. Our ICU and
Enhancement programs do just
that, provide an extra bit of help
and support to those students
in need. It is also important
to remember that when our
students struggle, sometimes
we need to support them with
praise, other times we need to
give them a little push to get
back on track. However, the
best thing we can do to support
our students is to show them
the value of school and what
an education means to their
future. I love when the school
and families work together as a
team! This reinforces what many
people say, “It takes a village to
raise a child.”
I am proud of all of our
students, and you should be
as well. They are truly a great

Putting a focus on bullying prevention
COUNSELOR
CORNER
By Brandon Gorsuch
Frederick Area Counselor
The first few weeks have
flown by here at Frederick Area.
I have enjoyed getting to know
the students and staff more
and more every week. Each
day brings new challenges and
opportunities that keep the
school environment fun and
exciting.
I have spent the first couple
weeks visiting the K-6 classrooms
and discussing my role as the
school counselor while also
reviewing respect, responsibility
and the importance of making
good choices, doing things right,
and having a positive attitude.
We have enjoyed activities about
these important topics that
facilitate working together with
our peers.
As we progress into October
we will focus our guidance
lessons on bullying prevention.
Learning the definition of
bullying as an intentional act
of aggression, occurring in a
relationship characterized by
an imbalance of power, and

Homecoming tradition
A homecoming tradition,
started over 30 years ago by the
WELCA at St Paul’s Church,
will be held on Friday, October
2. Lunch will be served at 11:00
am. Following the parade, there
will be pie and coffee, and there
will be a bake sale. Stop in and
enjoy the homemade goodies.
ID Theft Smart
First National Bank of
Frederick is offering a new
product that helps to monitor
and restore your identity if you

Flu Shots
Flu
shots
will
be
administered to Frederick Area
School students at the school
on Wednesday, October 21.
Forms will be sent home with
kids and must be signed and
returned before flu shots can be
administered. Information can

is persistent or pervasive, will
be the first step. Parents can
support their children at home
by helping them learn the
difference between a bullying
situation and kids that are being
mean by reminding them of
these important differences.
I will be introducing and
reviewing a STOP-WALKTALK plan with all grade
levels. Students will be taught
that when they encounter a
bullying situation, the first
thing they should do is tell
that person to STOP in a firm
voice. Using I-Messages to tell
the other person how their
behavior is affecting them will
be encouraged (i.e., “I feel ____
when _____. Please stop.”).
If that doesn’t work, students
will learn to WALK away from
the situation and go to a safe
place where that person cannot
bother them.
If that doesn’t work, we will
be able to recognize a trusted
adult that we can TALK to about
the situation. Throughout our
exercises we will identify safe
places and trusted adults we can
refer back to if we find ourselves
in a bullying situation.
By emphasizing prevention
we can help the students deal
with conflicts and keep the
school environment fun for
everyone.
I look forward to another
great month at Frederick Area!
Have a good October!
ASVAB Testing
By Alexis Huettl
FASD Journalism
On October 8th, 2015 Frederick High School juniors and
seniors will set out to complete the ASVAB (Armed Services
Vocational Aptitude Battery) test. This test measures developed
abilities and predicts future academic and job success in the
military. It is administered annually to more than one million
military applicants, high school, and college students. Frederick
High School has been doing this test for three years, and will
continue to do so as it is good practice for the ACT exam. The test
focuses on four main areas of understanding: arithmetic, word
knowledge, reading comprehension, and math knowledge.

2:00 PM to 4:00 PM at the Museum.
The Frederick Area Historical
Society's "Homesteading in SD" event
held Sunday, September 13, was a
huge success. Money was raised for the
continuing renovation of the building.
The local families who presented the
stories of more than 100 years of living
or owning the same farms were very
interesting and entertaining.
The Historical Society will have
another event on October 4, from
Lyle Podoll as the auctioneer. There

Helmets to honor friend
Tina and I would like to thank
the Frederick/Leola School
Districts and the communities
for recognizing and honoring
Sam. We have been devastated,
heartbroken, and continue to
struggle over the loss of Sam.
Your kind thoughts, prayers,
and actions speak volumes for
the schools and communities
warmth and understanding.
Although, you may not see
us at many of the games due to
our struggle, please know that
we truly appreciate what you
have done for Sam’s memory.
Sam would have been honored
knowing his teammates and
friends recognized him in such
a way. It really drives home the
character of the Titans.
Thank you,
Kelly and Tina Kenser.

Snow Queen help needed New cook at Elm
By Krysti Mikkonen
Frederick Forward
Frederick has had a Snow Queen for
many years, and it would be wonderful to
keep the event alive. However, a new person
to organize the event is desperately needed.
In the past years Tracy Olson has taken on
the task and is willing to stay on this year
and co-chair so she can teach someone the
details of organizing the event in the future.
The skills needed for the position are to
be enthusiastic about promoting young
women in the community, organized and
have good communications skills.
This year’s event is tentatively scheduled
for the Saturday, November 26 before
Thanksgiving. This date has been a
successful date for the event for numerous
years with last year standing as an exception
due to a conflict.
Frederick Forward is the sponsoring
organization and plans to continue that
sponsorship in the form of help, organization
and financing. In addition, the chairperson
has a good support team to help with
additional fundraising, set-up and clean-
up as the contestants are required to obtain
sponsors which helps with the financing of
the event. Parents of the contestants as well
as Frederick Forward members help set-up
and clean-up.
Duties of the chairperson include but are
not limited to the following:
•
Recruiting candidates for Jr. & Sr.
Snow Queen, Little Prince & Princesses
and if enough interest is available, talent
contestants, working through the school;
• Meeting with candidates and parents
to share contest details and responsibilities,
communicating with Frederick Forward to
arrange decorating, clean-up and funding;
•
Communicating with South
Dakota State Snow Queen to obtain
judges, complete paperwork and event date
registration;
•
Arranging for, flowers, crowns,
programs, and emcees.
If you’re interested in helping sustain the
continuation of the Frederick Area Snow
Queen contest, please contact Tracy Olson
at 605-290-7463 or email her at tracy.

Jane, our new cook, haling from Sauk
Center, MN has cooked at many places over
her career and we are thrilled to have her here

sometimes about her cooking skills.
Receiving many great compliments, Jane is
quite an asset to the resort after a long search
for a cook.

FOOTBALL

Two words used to describe
the Titan's football season so
far would be "injury riddled."
The Titans currently sit at 1-2
with one September game
remaining against Eureka. The
Titans are heading down the
final stretch with games against
Ipswich, Warner, Langford, and
Miller. Coach Marty Morlock is
VOLLEYBALL
looking forward to "working on
technique, depth, and execution
of play."
If a playoff run is going to
happen for the Titans, Morlock
stated, "We are going to have to
start playing better ball in the
final month of the season." With
the numerous injuries Coach
Morlock has been pleased with
the kids that have stepped up
to fill the spots of the injured
Titans.

Volleyball has started off with
a bang. Through mid-September
the girls find themselves with
six wins and four losses. This
includes a second place showing
at the Mobridge Tournament.
With the quick start and positive
results the girls are becoming
more and more motivated.

Heading into the final
month of the season Coach
Mueller stated, “The girls need
to continue to decrease the
number of mental errors that
they are making in each game.
This is one area that if the girls
tighten up, with the way they
have been working in practice,
this season can definitely turn
out the way we planned.”

CROSS COUNTRY
By Heather Johnsen

Who said a small group can’t accomplish
a lot? Definitely not the cross country Titans
that’s for sure! With a good start to the
season the Titans are looking forward with
confidence. Coach Barondeau is extremely
proud of the effort the team has showed
stating, “They compete hard at the meets
and give it their best.” With the Region Meet
coming up October 17th, Coach Barondeau
says, "The team will work on getting stronger
finishes and running the middle of the race
strong; as well as improving every race and
focusing on what we want to accomplish at
the end of the year."

JUNIOR HIGH FOOTBALL
By Dallas Johnson

The Leola-Frederick junior
high football team is off to an
exciting start this season. They
have competed in two jamborees
so far, traveled to Warner, with a
result of two wins and one loss.
Then hit the road to take on
Northwestern where they won,
tied, and lost a game.
The players have been
working hard during practice
looking for ways to improve
every day, individually and as a
team. The rest of the season will
JUNIOR HIGH VOLLEYBALL
focus on refining the offensive
and defensive side of the ball.
The October schedule for the
boys sees them in Frederick
hosting a jamboree October
3rd at 10:00. On October 5th
they will travel to Warner and
will wrap up their season on the
19th in Ipswich for a jamboree.
The focus of the team this
year is attitude and effort. As a
player, those are two things that
you can control.
By Savana Hinz

The junior high girl’s
volleyball team consists of
thirteen girls: four 6th graders,
five 7th graders, and four 8th
graders. Coach Jackie Bender is
excited to have started her first
year coaching for the Titans. She
has previously coached junior
high and C team volleyball in
Hamlin and Arlington. The girls
have been working on basic
skills including passing, setting,
and hitting. Serving is also one
of Coach Bender’s main focuses.
September had the girls slated
for five matches and seven for the
upcoming month of October,
which will give the team a good
schedule to gain experience
Coach Bender commented
saying, “I am happy to see such
strong leaders in the older girls.”
As the season progresses, the
girls will continue to work on
fundamentals and start to learn
positions and transitioning
which will prepare them for the
JV level.
