State One Act Play Festival Results
Three Class A troupes earn “starred performance” ratings
were cited for “starred performances” were
(in order of performance) Sauk Centre for The
Diviners, St. Paul Academy & Summit School
for The Yellow Wallpaper, and Belle Plaine for
Ridiculosis By Proxy. The other participating
Class A high schools were Fillmore Central of
Harmony, Win-E-Mac of Erskine, Mountain
Lake, Wadena-Deer Creek, and Eveleth-Gilbert.
After watching, listening, and then individually critiquing eight
Class A dramatic productions, a panel of judges rated three
of them “starred performances” on Friday, Feb. 8, during the
2013 State One Act Play Festival sponsored by the Minnesota
State High School League. The two-day festival is conducted
at O’Shaughnessy Auditorium on the St. Catherine University
campus in St. Paul.
The top eight Class A productions from across the state took the
stage throughout the day. The three schools whose performances
Representing Section 5, Sauk Centre’s “starred
performance” of The Diviners was directed by
Margaret Kitterman. The play was written by
Jim Leonard, Jr. It's the dust bowl during the
1930's, and we know when the play opens that
Buddy Layman has drowned tragically. The
rest of the play explains the struggles of the
townspeople and a drifter named C.C. Showers, as they all attempt to quench Zion's thirst for water and religion. Cast members were Cole McElwain, Lily Satterlee, Brendon McElwain,
Jake Kluver, Hannah Salto, Briana Ziemer, Stephy Polipnick,
Charlie Barhorst, Jamie Jennissen, B.J. Welle, Riley Akervik,
Ayden Berg, and Abbi Primus. Support personnel were Rebecca
Engel, Kayley Schirmers, Karla Zwack, and Lizzie Wiener.
This was the school’s eighth festival appearance and it’s fourth
“starred” rating. The school earned previous top ratings in 1975,
1976, and 2007.

The Sauk Centre Activities Department would like to thank the
many volunteers who help at events all winter. “We have so
many events at the school in the winter, it would be impossible
to host the events without the help of many people,” commented
Activities Director Rick Fischer. “We count on these people and
are very thankful that they are willing to give of their time and
abilities. I am not sure how we would run our events without
these people!”

Investing Early in Children
,QYHVWLQJÀQDQFLDOO\LQFKLOGUHQGXULQJWKHLUHDUOLHVW\HDUV
provides a higher rate of return than most any other economic
development investment a community, state, nation can make.
Numerous studies demonstrate that for every $1 invested in
quality care and education in the early years of childhood, $7$16 can be saved in costs of juvenile incarceration, out-of-home
placements, special education and other remedial expenses.
7KHVHVDYLQJVDUHGLUHFWÀQDQFLDOVDYLQJVDQGDUHQRWLQFOXVLYH
of the many social/emotional tolls.
Between the ages of 0-5, the human brain is developing at a
rate greater than any other period in our lives. The wiring of
a child’s brain is in direct response to the environmental input
a child receives after he or she is born. Most of a child’s brain
cells are formed before birth, but the connections between those
cells are made after birth. It is those connections that make the
brain cells work.
By the time a child is three years old, they have formed about
1,000 trillion connections! This is twice as many as they are
likely to form during adulthood. We can and must continue to
insist that our legislators/governor adequately fund educational
opportunity for early childhood and K-3 programming.
Governor Dayton’s current recommendation to fund a greater
portion of voluntary All Day Every Day Kindergarten is a good
start. Such an effort will not only provide our state with a solid
economic return, but morally such investment has the potential
for closing achievement gaps and extending opportunity and
success for all children.
“Why should taxpayers want to invest their dollars in quality early education for every child whose family wants it? The
research is clear that it helps children succeed. That’s one
reason. But there is another that is very important but less well
NQRZQ7KDWUHDVRQLVWKLVLWPDNHVÀQDQFLDOVHQVH7D[GROlars invested create economic development in communities, and
save money for years to come.” – “Early Childhood Education
for All: A Wise Investment” by Leslie J. Calman
Experts agree that dollars expended for programming in these
early years is one of the smartest investments we can make for
our future. However, frequently such initiatives get shunted
aside as our leaders allow pubic policies and resources to be
spent on short-term and politically popular issues.
In light of abundantly clear data, the welfare of our children and
the well-being and prosperity of our state demands an increased
commitment for such programming.
Reading – Making a Difference
In my regular newsletter comments, arguments for our collective
investment in early education program opportunities are made.
However, we need and ought not to wait for legislative action.
7KHDELOLW\WRUHDGSURÀFLHQWO\LVDIXQGDPHQWDOVNLOOWKDWDIfects the learning experiences and performance of children and
adolescents. Research by A. Hoyle informs us that students
who are competent readers are more likely to perform well in
subjects such as math and science. K. Christie research helps us
understand that reading achievement predicts the likelihood of
graduating from high school. A multitude of research indicates
UHDGLQJVNLOOVDOVRLQÁXHQFHVZHOOEHLQJDVDGXOWV
Children develop literacy skills and awareness of language long
before they are able to read. Language development is fundamental to all areas of learning, thus skills developed in the early
years clearly set the stage for life-long learning and well-being.
Without question we know that young children who are regularly
read to have:
-
a larger vocabulary;
higher levels of phonics awareness;
higher letter name awareness;
higher sound awareness; and
better success at decoding words.

before September 1, 2013, he or she is eligible to attend kindergarten for the 2013-2014 school year.
Teachers and principals are often asked, “What does my child
need to know before he/she enters kindergarten?” There are no

ability to sit and listen to a story and take turns will have greater
success in kindergarten.
I recently came across a website (www.isyourchildready.com)
prepared by the MN Early Learning Foundation that has a wealth
of information about kindergarten readiness. The information is
accessible both in English and Spanish. I encourage parents of

child. Parents will receive results that indicate if their child is
meeting the developmental milestones necessary to be ready for
kindergarten. If a child is not meeting the developmental milestones, the website provides parents with resources to increase
your child’s kindergarten readiness skills.
If your child is eligible for kindergarten in the fall of 2013, and
your family has not received information about kindergarten
round-up, please contact Sauk Centre Elementary School (3526521) for more information.
Early Childhood
Screening
In the state of Minnesota
it is mandatory for every
child to participate in an
Early Childhood Screening process. Screening
is a simple, careful check
in the following areas of
your child’s development:

are also screened. Screening clinics are offered three times a
year. You will receive an invitation when your child is about 3
to 4 years old. There is no cost for the screening. If you are not

Shared parent-child book reading during children’s preschool
years has been demonstrated to provide higher reading attainment in elementary school. Additionally, shared book reading
leads to greater appreciation of and enthusiasm for reading and
learning.
We encourage all to pick-up a book and read with some young
person in your life today and frequently. In support of child
development and parenting, MDE sponsors Minnesota – Parents

Elementary Reading Theme
February was I Love to Read Month at Sauk Centre Elementary School. This year’s theme was “Live, Laugh, Read: Read for the Fun
of It”. On February 1, the students enjoyed a “Kick Off” celebration which included an amazing skit of the book No More Monkeys
Jumping on the Bed by secondary students, some great jokes, and the distribution of a new book from the Sauk Centre PTA. Each year
the PTA provides every student with a free book as a way to get the students reading. The remainder of the month included some fun
contests and a daily DEAR (Drop Everything and Read) time.

DUHJLRQDORIÀFHUSRVLWLRQDQGZDVVODWHGDWWKH
2013-2014 Region 3 FFA Sentinel. Only seven FFA
members from the region are selected to serve as a
UHJLRQDORIÀFHU,QWKLVOHDGHUVKLSSRVLWLRQ%HQZLOO
be expected to facilitate workshops at regional FFA
events, visit FFA chapters in the region, and continue to develop knowledge of agriculture, education in
Agriculture, Food & Natural Resources, and of the
FFA Organization. Ben will undoubtedly represent
the Sauk Centre FFA Chapter and school well.
On Thursday, February 14 the Sauk Centre FFA Parliamentary Procedure
team competed and performed extremely well. In fact so they performed so well that
they took 1st place in the region contest. They will compete at the State FFA Convention on April 29-May 1. This event took place at Ridgewater College in Willmar.
The Sauk Centre FFA Chapter has a long standing history of excellence in
the Parliamentary Procedure contest with several state-participating teams and one
that competed at the national level at the 2011 National FFA Convention. This contest requires so much commitment and knowledge of its participants that many FFA
chapters across the state chose not to attempt. Traditionally the Dassel-Cokato and
Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted FFA chapters are the main hurdles for Sauk Centre
at the state competition, however, the team will not know until the day of the contest.
Rest assured the Sauk Centre Parliamentary Procedure team will continue to practice
hard to best represent at state Sauk Centre Public Schools and the neighboring communities.
The purpose of the Parliamentary Procedure Career Development Event is
to encourage students to learn to effectively participate in a business meeting and to
assist in the development of their leadership, research, and problem solving skills.
