A Publication of Oregon City Schools www.oregoncityschools.org THE OREGON ORACLE 5721 Seaman Rd., Oregon, OH 43616 The Wall Street Whiz Volume 12 Number 3 — June 2013 Superintendent’s Message Thank You! The Whiz of Wall Street. Javier Salazar defeated 151 challengers to win the second semester stock contest at Clay High School. Javier was staked $10,000, and in 19 weeks turned a 65% gain. The future agricultural business major cashed out of the market after 10 weeks of trading and hung on to win over Justin Keller. Seventy-two students scored at least a 10% increase in their portfolios. One could say they were “shooting the bull” at Clay. Board Leadership Institute Carol Ann Molnar and Michael Csehi, school board members from the Oregon School district recently graduated from the Ohio School Boards Association Board Leadership Institute (BLI). The institute is an intensive, two-day training program designed exclusively for public school board members. Molnar and Csehi were two of more than 200 Ohio school board members who participated in BLI. Keynote speakers at the 12th annual institute, held April 26-27 in Columbus, included Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine, who focused on school safety and security, and State Board of Education President Debe Terhar, who spoke about education reform in Ohio. BLI also featured workshops covering a wide range of essential board leadership topics, including student achievement, school finance, legal and legislative issues, shared services, the new state academic assessments, board development and leadership concepts, labor relations and critical issues, and hot topics in education. Founded in 1955, the OSBA leads the way to educational excellence by serving Ohio’s public school board members and the diverse districts they represent through superior service, unwavering advocacy and creative solutions.

Max De Pree, the former President and CEO of the Herman Miller furniture company, wrote a very influential book called Leadership is an Art. In it De Pree states “The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality. The last is to say thank you. In between, the leader is a servant.” I have tried to emulate this philosophy to the best of my ability during my five year tenure as the superintendent of schools. I believe significant progress has been made toward the improvement of performance in all areas of district operations. I am proud to say that the Oregon Schools are better positioned for future success as the result of the hard work and collective effort of everyone in the organization along with the support of the community. The reality of a tough economy, a decline in school funding revenue, and a polarized political environment--combined with increasing expectations for performance, accountability and transparency--has made for challenging times in public education. Reform initiatives at the national, state and local levels are being designed and implemented to change the fundamental nature of the public education system. Change is happening at an ever increasing rate. Changes that usually take two to three years to roll out are now mandated to be in place within six months. As a consequence, our staff is dealing with a new teacher evaluation system, a principal evaluation system, a third grade reading guarantee, common core state standards, PARCC Assessments, and a new state report card with higher standards and more rigorous metMichael E. Zalar rics. I have been Superintendent exceptionally pleased with the manner in which our staff has stepped up and handled each of these new initiatives with a high degree of collaboration and professionalism. As a community, you can be proud of the professionals working with the children in your schools! They continue to do more with less and to serve sacrificially for the greater good of all. They have earned and need your constant support! As I transition to a different school district and community, I will always be grateful for the opportunity granted to serve as your superintendent of schools. I have had the good fortune to serve with some great leaders, including board members, principals, administrators, teachers, counselors, secretaries, supervisors, bus drivers, cooks, cafeteria workers, custodians, maintenance workers, and clerical staff – too many to name them all. They truly are a great team and deserve all of the credit for the success of the district. I am confident that they will continue the work that has been begun related to the middle school grade reconfiguration, to technology integration, and to the myriad of other new developments in the district. Continuous improvement is a race with no finish line. There is always more work to be done. You may be sure that the school district is in excellent hands, and that our staff will continue working hard to prepare our students for future success. Finally, I would like to congratulate the Clay High School Class of 2013. You have the good fortune to begin your new journey equipped with a solid educational foundation. Now it is up to you to step out of your comfort zone and to apply yourself to a cause worthy of your service. As Max De Pree says, “The greatest thing is, at any moment, to give up who we are in order to become all that we can be.” I encourage you to live your life with no regrets and to contribute your unique gifts to a cause greater than yourself. In many ways YOU, the youth of America, are still our last best chance and hope for a better world! Best wishes, and Go Eagles! Dr. Michael E. Zalar, Superintendent of Schools, may be reached by calling (419) 693-0661or by emailing mzalar@oregoncs. org Lots Of Power And No Birds The electrical output of the 900 kilowatt turbine at Clay High School has been enough to power the entire campus for the last seven 7 months with an average campus demand of 6,036 Kilowatts per day. We have been generating between 75% (December 2012), and over 101% (February 2013) of the campus demand. Eisenhower production has been 10-15% greater than our conservative predictions with significant money, energy savings, and environmental stewardship. Furthermore, we have been conducting a bird, and bat impact survey to determine the risk to wildlife that turbines pose. Over 40 hours of student search time, and over 107 hours of University internship hours have been logged in this spring migration season. (For more data, go to the Clay High School website www. oregoncs.org). Highlights of the first seven months of operation of Clay’s turbine: • Significant energy cost-cutting, money savings for the district. • Preventing 2,394 tons of greenhouse gas Carbon dioxide from entering our atmosphere. • No Bird impacts at Ike or Clay turbines. Zero. • These values are 20 percent higher when we factor in Eisenhower’s turbines. • There have been no complaints about sound, or shadows affecting residents, bike path users, or sports teams ,indicating that large wind turbines are compatible with multiple use sites. Data for the first nineteen months of operation of Eisenhowers turbines from www.Northernpower.kiosk-view.com/ eisenhower • 461,098 Kilowatts produced. Enough to power 481 homes, • 584,211 lbs of CO2 (greenhouse gas) prevented. • money savings = $43,343 • 599 lbs of NOx ( acid rain causing contaminant)prevented. • Less 1,521 lbs of SO2 (acid rains causing contaminant) prevented. Caine Kolinski, and Dennis Slotnick are coordinating bird and bat research on a daily basis. Data has been collected for 8 weeks. High school students and an independent researcher from The University of Toledo have found no bird fatalities at Clay, or Eisenhower schools. As scientific research suggests, we are doing searcher efficiency studies, and scavenge rates to determine how well our research team can spot a bird carcass, or whether a fox, raccoon, or cat has carried them off. This study is being conducted during the heaviest migration of the year, 2.5 miles from Lake Erie. “Of course we would like to have several years of data to be make a scientifically valid claim that no birds are struck by turbines, but so far it looks very safe for our avian friends.” Mr. Slotnick, science teacher at Clay said. Only one red bat was found under the turbine last November. The national average for bird and bat mortality for wind turbines is two per year. Compare that number with cars: 1,000,000 birds per year (one million), communication towers: 82-3,199 birds per year, cats: 100,000,000 ( one hundred million), and cars, 1,000,000 (one million). (Sources: Government Accountability Office, National Audubon Society). So far our research indicates that bird and bat mortalities are very rarely caused by wind turbines, shattering the myths that have recently been perpetuated, we are even below the national average. Besides the Eisenhower and Clay turbines, Jerusalem, and Starr schools have rooftop solar panels installed, and will be connected shortly. They will provide over (2.2) megawatts of power per year to our district. “It is an inspiration for many of us in the Oregon Schools to be using electricity that it is a completely renewable, nonpolluting energy source”. Mr.Slotnick who teaches Environmental Science and Biology said. “Now with the bird and bat data coming in, we are even more confident that wind turbines are environmentally safe, even though we are so close to the migratory pathway along Lake Erie”. *Nearly all bird kills occur on one outdated wind farm at Altamont, California, where 2-5 thousands birds die from old, fast and low elevation scaffold tower turbines. If you exclude that data, the number of birds killed in the US by wind turbines is practically zero. (Source: Mother Nature Network) 2 IMPORTANT!PLEASEREAD. Parents:StudentRegistrationhasMovedOnline!

Fourth Grade G/T Students Visit Lake Erie Center Far Left: Students shared their research eith Rachel Lohner from the Lake Erie Center. Left: Students participated in an art project using fish to apply prints to bags. The 4th grade students from Mrs. Sneed’s gifted and talented class studied and gathered data on all of the Great Lakes. As part of their study, students read a book entitled “Paddle to the Sea,” and enjoyed the adventures of a small wooden canoe carved by an Indian boy from Nipigon County in Canada. The Indian boy dreamed that his wooden figure would travel through the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean, and would have adventures that the boy would never experience. In addition, students conducted research about one of the lakes, and were able to share some of this with Rachel Lohner from the Lake Erie Center during a recent field trip. Students were given a tour, an opportunity to answer questions about the Great Lakes, as well as activities demonstrating invasive species and identifying fish through the use of a dichoto- mous key. While there, students also participated in an art project using fish to apply prints to bags. Mrs. Lohner said that this was “such an engaged and well behaved group,” and “They were truly a pleasure to have here.” 3 "Beauty And The Beast" Top Left: Brady Horman (Stanley), Ashton Day (Lefou), Kody Kramer (Gaston), and Keeghan Calkins (Tom). Top Middle: Casey Merren (Belle) and Andrew Kessler (the Beast). Top Right: Emily Brown (FeFe), Caleb Scarberry (Lumiere), and Jaiden Karrick (Babette). Bottom Left: Olivia Gierke (Mrs. Potts). With a cast of over eighty students, ages five to eleven, the Ram Drama Team presented the Disney musical “Beauty and the Beast” in May. Coy Elementary students spent over three months preparing for the production, with their fearless leader, Mary Horman, at the helm. The Ram Drama Team has been entertaining crowds for more than five years, and has never failed to give audiences an enjoyable and memorable show. The stars of “Beauty and the Beast” were awesome! They sang and danced through “Be Our Guest” with a full array of twirling plates, swaying forks, and tap dancing teacups. Mixed in with the show’s usual favorites were a number of current songs, which blended seamlessly with the stage action and had the audience singing, clapping, laughing, and sometimes wiping away a tear. A mob of angry villagers sang “Beat It” while dancing in the murky fog and cheering on a wolf fighting LaFou (who displayed real life skills with a professional karate staff). The finale brought the entire cast onstage to sing “Firework,” and the audience had the added surprise of a shot of streamers from confetti cannon as the kids sang out “you’re a firework.” The Ram Drama team was established after a small group of parents decided something needed to be done when the art and music programs were drastically reduced in Oregon’s elementary schools. These parents wanted to fill the gap and to introduce children to the performing arts in a way that was meaningful, fun and educational. The Ram Drama Team came to life, and since then, has welcomed over 5oo children to the stage. Ram Drama runs on the sweat and dedication of volunteers What's In Your Future? who fundraise, operate lights, build sets, and spend countless hours rehearsing for performances. All of this has been done under the watchful eye of team leader, Mary Horman, who begins each year with a dream. Horman gives a lot of credit to the many parent volunteers and to her sidekick and sister, Debbie. This year’s last performance was bittersweet. Not only did the children give an amazing show, but they acknowledged the end of an era. With the reconfiguration of Oregon schools, Ram drama now is facing evolution. Where the future of the team lies is still up in the air, but it is important to realize their presence has impacted hundreds of young lives. Who knows? One day we may see a familiar name in lights and know they started here in Oregon, Ohio. Refinancing Bond Saves Community Major Tax Dollars Jane Fruth, Treasurer We have great news to share! The bond refinancing was very successful, and will save Oregon and Jerusalem Community taxpayers $2.4 million dollars over the remaining term of the bond. With the downward trend in interest rates and call features of outstanding debt, we decided now was the time to refinance the $33.9 million remaining debt from original $40 million raised for the building projects. By refinancing, we were able to reduce the average interest rate from approximately 7% down to 4%, creating the savings listed above. Board member, Jeff Ziviski said,” This is just another example of how we are working behind the scenes to save taxpayers money.” Pint-Sized Hero Top Left: Lisa Peery, dental assistant, Dr. Michalak's office.

Jerusalem fourth and fifth graders participated in Career Day on May 28. Organized by Miss Ford, counselor, this annual event featured nine speakers. Students learned what school subjects were important in each career, what training and education each job requires, and what skills the professionals need to do their jobs. Classes even saw turf, created locally, that is used on the where the Super bowl is played. Guests included: Bridget Batch, RN, Mercy St. Charles Hospital; Lisa Peery, dental assistant, Dr. Michalak’s office; Bart Kiger, deputy sheriff, Lucas County; Tom George, Chrysler; Stephanie Filar, electrical engineer, Rockwell Automation; Brad Morrison, owner, Maumee Turf; Jeff Gluza, project manager, Davis Besse; and Elizabeth Hansen, licensed massage therapist. Thank you to all our participants! Coy Honors Breakfast When students try their hardest to succeed academically, parents, teachers, and community members need to acknowledge these endeavors. Everyone deserves a pat on the back now and then. On May 30, at Coy Elementary, fourth and fifth grade students received their pat on the back. A select group of students who achieved honor roll three out of four quarters during the academic school year were invited to a special Honors Breakfast. The Oregon City School honor roll is awarded to students with a grade point average of 3.0, or a “B” average, with no “D’s” in any quarter. Breakfast was provided to the students, compliments of Coy School. Parents and significant relatives were also invited to attend the festivities. We, at Coy School, are extremely proud of these students for all their hard work. Congratulations on a successful year and keep up the good work! Thank you to all who participated in the Pint Size Hero blood drive in March! The event was open to all family members and friends connected to Coy. A representative from the Pint Size Hero program visited Coy to speak with students during lunches on February 27. Students learned about what it means to give blood and how doing so can save a life. They were encouraged to go home and share what they learned about donating blood with family and friends, who then had the opportunity to donate blood, or to volunteer their time working the blood drive. We were proud to collect and donate 32 units of blood this year, which means our Coy community helped to save 96 lives. Great job, everyone! Need Summer Tutoring?

Bottom Middle: Mr. Atwater dedicated a new time capsule to commemorate Eisenhower's 50th Anniversary. Bottom Right: The Eisenhower band played "The Star Spangled Banner." By Amy Hansen On April 12, Eisenhower Middle School had the pleasure of hosting the 50th Anniversary Assembly & Time Capsule Dedication in honor of opening the school 50 years ago. When the Oregon School Board named the new school in 1960 (two years before being built), Dwight D. Eisenhower was the president of the United States and many in the community had served under General Eisenhower during WWII. Many years have come and gone, and the importance of the Eisenhower name is not as well understood to current students as perhaps it was in the past. It has been nearly three generations since the school opened. When planning the anniversary assembly, all focus went to connecting the school’s current students, with the legacy of President Dwight D. Eisenhower (their school’s namesake) and the great legacy of the school. What better way to accomplish that goal than to seek an Eisenhower descendant to speak to the students. The Eisenhower Foundation in Abilene, Kansas, was contacted and graciously connected the school with Merrill Eisenhower Atwater, Mr. Atwater is the great-grandson of Dwight D. Eisenhower who served as the keynote speaker. Mr. Atwater was engaging and an incredible speaker. He began his first twenty minutes by explaining some of the “firsts” that his great-grandfather did during his presidency, all the while relating his stories back to the students through survey participation. He then went into the sea of students, to allow them the opportunity to ask him questions, such as, “When did you find out your great-grandfather was a President?” and “What college did you go to?” At the end of the day, when a student was asked what they thought of Mr. Atwater’s speech, she said, “He was really cool and interesting. I thought it was going to be all that boring History Channel stuff. He made it fun to listen to and easy to understand.” Along with Mr. Atwater’s keynote speech, Jacob Smith from Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur’s office, presented Eisenhower’s principal, Mrs. Becci Bihn, with a flag that had been flown over the US Capitol building. Ohio State Senator Edna Brown presented the school with a letter of recognition from the President of the Ohio Senate, and Ohio House of Representatives Minority Leader, Matthew Szollosi, presented a commendation from the Speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives. Mr. Szollosi is a previous student of Oregon City Schools. The school’s history was highlighted through a video slideshow that contained interviews from three original teachers who opened the school, and three original students who attended when it opened in 1962. The video also included photos of this year’s events, such as the Guinness World Record run, the open house, and the students decorating the “Legacy” benches. The audience was led outdoors in front of Eisenhower for the finale. Students battled the cold winds and gray skies for a brief time while the Boy Scouts raised the new flag and the band played “The StarSpangled Banner.” As the commemorative time capsule was placed near the flagpole, Mr. Atwater officially dedicated it to honor the 50th anniversary of Eisenhower Middle School. The time capsule contains many items from the 50th celebration this year: retro “Falcon” uniforms, DVD slideshow, various photos, student essays, and the Guinness World Record certificate among other items. The time capsule will not be placed in the ground until after Honors Day, May 30th, in order to include additional items through the end of this school year. Before the students were dismissed for the buses, many had yet another opportunity to talk to Mr. Atwater in the front hall, where he made himself available for anyone who wanted to visit. He was gracious of his time and stayed until every visitor, including past principals and retired teachers, had left. Merrill Eisenhower Atwater certainly made it a day that everyone in attendance at Eisenhower Middle School that afternoon will not soon forget. Eisenhower asked local businesses for assistance with certain aspects of this special visit, and were able to secure the donation of Mr. Atwater’s accommodations from Maumee Bay State Park Lodge, and Hafner’s Sheet Metal & Supply donated their time and talent to create and build our time capsule from scratch. “We are grateful and thankful for the support from the businesses in our community that helped this event come together,” principal Becci Bihn said. Swapping Books Do Your Best On The Test Students at the Coy Book Swap. Basketball Jones helps motivate students to do their best on the OAA. Reduce, reuse and recycle. Coy students took that mantra to heart by participating in a school-wide book swap in May. Students were allowed to bring in up to five used books to trade for other used books. An amazing total of 1,200 books were brought in for the swap. That’s practically a library! The event was sponsored by Coy’s student council. Members Ben Dunsmore, Drew Schroeder, Lucy Hoskins, Derek Deal, Jacob Lafferty, Raecie Jones, Megan Korb, Deion Vartorella, Owen Schoegl and Olivia Jones worked the swap the week before, collecting, organizing and storing books. With summer approaching, it was a great way to encourage students to continue reading during vacation, and it provided a valuable environmental lesson at the same time. The student council would also like to give a special thanks to parent volunteers, Grandma Cici Gladieux and Grandma Kathy Cousino, who helped them to run the swap. Thanks is also due to Mrs. Gyurke, student council advisor. The day before the 2013 OAA tests began, grades three to five filed into the Coy Elementary gymnasium to the roaring chant of “DO YOUR BEST, ON THE TEST!” Kindergarten to grade two clapped their hands, stomped their feet and followed Jim Basketball Jones’ example in cheering on their older peers to rev them up for the looming assessment. When everyone was seated, Jones not only entertained the students with his basketball handling antics and humor, he also en- couraged them to stop and practice patient listening and reading. Jones reminded students that no matter what choice they make, it is still ultimately their choice. He encouraged students to make positive choices, to live life kindly, and to exercise good judgment while taking the OAA. Willing - and less willing - members of the audience joined Jones on stage to demonstrate courage by showing they could step out of their comfort zone to get a job done. Jones’ message to the students was to think, to focus, and to bust that test. 5 Courtyard Makeover Top Left: Ike's courtyard before the makeover. Top Middle: Clark's Custom Concrete labored on the black and white "E" masterpiece. Bottom Left: Every bit of soil had to be removed and all concrete to be hauled by wheelbarrow. Bottom Middle: The "E" is the centerpiece of the courtyard. Right: The finished courtyard. In anticipation of a visit by Merrill Eisenhower Atwater (great-grandson of Dwight D. Eisenhower), Eisenhower Middle School assembled a team of student and parent volunteers who wanted to spruce up the courtyard off the main hallway that is visible from the offices. After a plan was created, the volunteer crew began on an unusually warm Saturday in early March. The plan called for clean-up of the current landscaping beds, taking out the center circle patio pavers, and creating a new centerpiece in its place. To remain maintenance free and long-lasting, a concrete “E” was designed to be the new centerpiece of the courtyard. Over spring break in April, Clark’s Custom Concrete labored on the black and white “E” masterpiece. The work required every bit of soil to be removed, and all concrete to be hauled by wheelbarrow. The end result is pretty awesome! Stop in sometime and take a look. The landscaping beds were edged with granite boulders, bushes were trimmed, beds were weeded, over 40 wheelbarrows of mulch were brought in, and new bushes were planted. The wood carving of “Ike” (the falcon), has taken center stage in one of the beds. He is, however, looking for a wood-working specialist who would be able to restore his façade to better condition, as birds have infiltrated his wing to build nests for their young. Eisenhower would like to thank the Super Sleuths Coy's Super Sleuths. Each year, Coy School 4th and 5th grade students have the opportunity to sharpen research skills during visits to the school’s library, as they strive to earn the title of “Library Super Sleuth.” Every week, the reference section of the library Car Wash features a research question and a special word to define. Students carry out their investigations using any resource available in the library. However, our young detectives must follow proper protocol when solving the mysteries. They must identify their source and submit conclusions in complete sentence form. They must also properly use the word of the week in a sentence according to the part of speech for the chosen definition. Each month, correct conclusions are included in a drawing. The more research a student conducts during the month, the more opportunities he or she has to earn the worthy distinction of “Coy Library Super Sleuth.” The award for success is the choice of a book to add to his or her personal library, but even more importantly, each student is perfecting the ability to find answers by using various sources. The title of Library Super Sleuth for the 2012-2013 school year goes to the following students: Lucas Collins, Katherine Van Sickle, Lucius Doggett, Brigid Collins, Cheyenne Boyd, Hope Baumgartner, Andy Kessler, Bella Kennedy, John Engle, Emily Brown, Paige Kapfhammer, Amber Smith and Katelyn Garza. Dad - The Perennial Favorite It must be the end of the year. That perennial favorite, “Dads’ Day,” made its appearance at Coy Elementary once more. This marked the 59th annual Dads’ Day celebration, and looking back over the years, one has to be amazed at the changes our world has gone through since its inception. Dads’ Day was originally established as an opportunity for fathers to spend some quality time in a school setting with their children. With the evolution of the family, Dads’ Day is now attended by any significant person in the student’s life. And the main focus is that the very presence of that person shows the child just how much someone cares about him or her. This year’s celebration included a parents’ breakfast where long-time attendees following local companies that either contributed time or materials to the courtyard makeover: Benche’s Greenhouse, Clark’s Custom Concrete, Nissen Concrete and Warnke Enterprises. Also, a huge thank you to the students who volunteered time to help transform the courtyard: Breanna Batch, Jayla Musselman, Kennedy Coughlin, Hayden Dickerson, Josh Meinke, Erek Hansen, Emma Hansen, Cassidy Krieger, Meaghan Henry, Mackenzie Henry, Liz Zak and Jacqueline Staudinger. were acknowledged and honored. There were huge, themed gift baskets for raffle and a family, picnic-style lunch. There were also opportunities for the children and family members to participate in activities together. Come rain or shine, Dads’ Day is an Oregon institution and a program of which our district can be proud. Honor Rolls on pages 10 and 11 “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’” – Mister Rogers Most of the time, you don’t see all the helpers on the news; they are the heroic individuals who donate their time and/or support the fundraising efforts. For example, there were MANY heroes on a chilly Saturday morning on May 11. Despite the 46 degree temperature, a few Clay High School Volunteer Focus members sponsored a car wash to raise money for Vail Meadows Therapeutic Riding Center. There were many heroes that morning-- from the students who washed cars to Advance Auto Parts who donated all the supplies, to those who made donations to have their car(s) washed, to those who just made donations. There are a lot of “helpers” that you never see. It was so heartfelt and touching to listen to stories of how Vail Meadows has helped family members, stories of friendships with the horses and the Vail family. There were donations made, both large and small; one individual was on her way to visit family in the hospital and still took time to stop and make a donation. Another gentleman offered to buy the volunteers hot chocolate. When he told the McDonald’s employee what he was doing, the manager at the McDonald’s on Woodville Road donated not only hot chocolate, but French fries and burgers too for all the volunteers. Advance Auto Parts also matched a purchase of additional cleaning supplies made by this same individual. Clay High School Volunteer Focus Members would like to say Thank You to all the “helpers” who took time out of their busy day to “pay it forward.” No matter what your donation, you really make a difference. 6 Claire's Day Left: Proud C.A.R.E. Award recipients display their awards. Right: Nickey Ollivier displays his C.A.R.E. Award. May 18th marked the 12th Annual Claire’s Day. Claire’s Day is a free family book festival held annually in honor of Claire Lynsey Rubini who passed away from a heart condition in 2000, when she was just ten years old. Claire’s Day embraces all of her favorite activities, including telling stories, dancing, making crafts, but most of all, reading. The Claire’s Day Inc. mis- sion is to inspire children of all ages and their families to be lifelong readers through exposure to a variety of literary opportunities and experiences. Claire’s Day was held at the Maumee branch of the Toledo Lucas County Public Library. The Claire’s Day book festival featured children’s book authors and illustrators from around the country. The authors and illustrators met with young readers to discuss their craft and to sign their books. The day also included storytellers, live music, and hands-on activities. The highlight of the day was the C.A.R.E. Awards (Claire’s Awards for Reading Excellence), which were presented to students recognized by their schools as being the most improved in their reading skills. Starr School had 22 students receive this award! Congratulations to the following students: Felicity Bloomfield, Alyssa Navarre, James Ziegelhofer, Hunter Thomas, Gavin Westlick, Courtney Jones, Elijah Mead, Brianna Ray, Madi Gomez, Isabelle Perkin, Clara Steele, Zoey Cousino, Marissa Garcia, Mason Morse, Estrella Ruiz, Nathan Gladieux, Mohammed Wehbi, Seth Zapada, Savannah Ault, Alexis Scott, Jacob Reed, and Alyssa Krontz. At Coy, Nickey Ollivier was honored, as was Julia Russo. A special thanks to Julie and Brad Rubini, founders of Claire’s Day, for hosting this very special event. District Champions Left: The district champions. Right: Erin Gyurke received the TRAC track MVP award, and Coach Scott Wamer received the Girls Track and Field TRAC Coach of the Year Award. The Clay High School girls track and field team has won the school’s first ever district championship on May 25 at St. Francis. The girls beat Notre Dame Academy by 2.5 points, and were lead by lone district champion, Nicole Breeden, in the discus. Nicole also placed second in the shot put. Haley Hess, Hannah Hess, Erin Gyurke, Emilie Roman and Kasey O’Shea also qualified in multiple events. Sophomore Grace Winckowski qualified in the 100m hurdles. The regionals were held at Amherst Steele High School May 29 and May 31. Cody Hockey Clinic A Success their time, and for “allowing us to facilitate a clinic that not only helped pay tribute to Cody, but also allowed us to give back to the hockey community that has supported our family through each step of the healing process,” Michelle, Cody’s mother, said. “We are enthusiastic about the clinic’s growing success for years to come,” she added. Honor Flight Participants of the Cody VanHersett Hockey Clinic. Written by: Robert Bundy Clay Assistant Hockey Coach The Clay High School varsity hockey program held its second annual Cody VanHersett hockey clinic on March 23, at the Toledo Ice House to a resounding success. The Ice House volunteered its rink to hold the clinic, which was free and open to Oregon and surrounding area children ranging in ages from 5-13. The participants were split into two age-appropriate groups, and were given free t-shirts and pizza after each session. Coaches from the Northwest Ohio Hockey Conference, as well as area hockey development profes- sionals, volunteered their time and talents to give instruction on hockey skills, such as skating, passing, shooting, and goaltending. The Cody Clinic was started last year by the Clay hockey coaches to remember the spirit and talents of their player, Cody VanHersett, who died in an automobile accident on January 12, 2012. “Our goal is to bring kids together to remember Cody, and also to help build the hockey skills of young kids and to foster the idea of a strong hockey community,” Clay’s head hockey coach, Mike Heck, said. The VanHersett family was extremely appreciative of everyone who volunteered Veteran Edward Toth. On Tuesday, April 30, Edward Toth, Korean War veteran who served in the US Navy between 1952-55 traveled on the Honor Flight of Northwest Ohio, thanks in part to the fundraising efforts of Fassett Middle School. Mr. Toth is an Oregon resident who attended Clay High School. In the fall, students raised $625 toward the Honor Flight. For Veteran’s Day, Jim Tichey spoke to the students to give them a background about Honor Flight. Students raised money through various fun activities, such as duct-taping Mr. Kidd and Mr. Holcombe to the wall during a schoolwide assembly. Mr. Toth was able to see the Korean War Memorial for the first time ever. On his flight were 74 veterans from Ohio and Michigan who served in WWII and Korea. The hometown celebration included about 500 people who welcomed home their veterans and thanked them for their service. After the veterans deplaned at Toledo Express, they walked through a receiving line that had waving flags, hugs, kisses, tears, and a lot of pictures. Then, veterans had “mail call” where they received knitted red, white, and blue afghans and letters from loved ones and students. Fassett students also wrote letters to Mr. Toth and other veterans. Mrs. Claydon said it was an absolute delight to see tears shed by our veterans, to see the pride in their country, and the thankfulness for our veterans from those present. For more information on how you can support this worthy cause, please contact: Honor Flight Northwest Ohio, c/o Jim Tichey 419-472-5045 or [email protected]. 7 First-Fifth Grade Partnership Top Left: Fifth grade students assisted first graders in reading sea-themed stories. Top Right: First graders working on crayon resists. Bottom Left: Students display their crayon resist. First and fifth graders partnered together on a reading and art project. The students read ocean and sea-themed stories together, just in time for summer, including Gulp! and The Rainbow Fish. After enjoying the books, the students worked in pairs to create a crayon resist A Picture Is Worth... of their favorite illustration. Fifth grader, Hannah Blausey thought the first graders were really good readers, and she thought it was fun meeting new people. The first graders loved working with the older children, too. Denim Drive Clay High School's monitoring system fits nicely at Dispatch within the Oregon City Police Department. You’ve heard the expression “A picture is worth a thousand words.” In the case of the new software package at Clay High School, which converts our old analog and antiquated security camera system video to a state-of-the-art digital image, the improved function and picture is worth far more than words. It is worth the improved safety and security of over 1,500 students and staff. The district-wide Health & Safety Committee wholeheartedly supported the purchase of the software package for $16,700 as opposed to starting over and pulling new cable to all new cameras, which would have cost the district tens of thousands more. “The software allows the district to replace cameras as they fail, and to move into a digital camera over time without compromising a quality image now,” Dean Sandwisch, Director of Business Affairs, said. The user friendly software is easier for both school personnel and the Oregon City Police to navigate. “The quality of the film is much better than the old system. I can zoom in and have a better picture,” Scott Wamer, Clay High School Dean of Students said. “It is easier and quicker to review film with the new system.” The Oregon City Police, who are connected via a fiber network, agree. The once cumbersome, multi-screen monitor system has been replaced with a highly interactive, intuitive screen, capable of switching from camera to camera in real time, a feature invaluable to first responders. This software package is another example of how Oregon City Schools and the community are working together, not only to spend taxpayer money wisely in providing a cost-effective system, but also to provide the highest level of safety to our students and staff. Top: Over 300 denim items were collected. Bottom: Kathy Klewer, student council advisor, and 2nd grade teacher. Did you know that it takes 500 denim items to insulate a home? Jerusalem students do. They recently held a Denim Drive, sponsored by the Student Council, in an effort to recycle and reuse all things denim. Over two weeks in April, students donated 333 denim items! This charity event was inspired by former Jerusalem student, Erek Han- sen, who is now a 7th grader at Eisenhower Middle School. Erek conducts a large denim drive each spring and has even collected denim in Washington, D.C., where he was recognized with a special award. See his website for further information [www.ecoerek.org]. Thank you to all who contributed, and let’s plan ahead for next year! 8 A Trip To Stone Lab For A Day Of Science Left: GT 5th grade students spent a day exploring the conditions of Lake Erie. Right: Students went on a cruise to take various samples when they studied and dissected. The 5th grade gifted and talented students in Mrs. Sneed’s class spent this semester studying Lake Erie. Their research included facts about the basins of the lake, inflow, outflow, water replacement rate, and flora/fauna of Lake Erie. Some of this research led to a discussion about why the lake has three basins and also a discussion of invasive species. The students used this information to create a brochure about Lake Erie and culminated with a field trip to Gibraltar Island. Colton Plumb, a graduate of Clay High School, led the day of science, which included a science cruise to collect data about water conditions and to collect plankton/fish to examine/dissect. All of the findings will be housed at The Ohio State University and will be used to determine water quality/conditions on the specific day the class was on Lake Erie. Senator Sherrod Brown Students Come Honors Oregon City Schools Face-To-Face With A Stinger Oregon 8th grade students met Senator Sherrod Brown on their Washington D.C. trip. Approximately 160 Oregon City School District students and teachers, as well as Tom Susor, City of Oregon council president, met with U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown this week. The school Kohl's Kids Kohl’s Kids In Action (KKIA) is sponsored by Mercy Children’s Hospital and Kohl’s Department store. KKIA is fighting the childhood obesity battle by focusing on prevention. Kohl’s donates time, effort and funding to keeping kids healthy. Partnering with 151 hospitals across the country, Kohl’s has donated nearly $15.1 million toward health and education initiatives. Every sale of Kohl’s Cares for Kids merchandise is donated to programs like Kohl’s Kids in Action. Mercy Children’s Hospital and Kohl’s have worked together for the past four years to promote child safety and prevent childhood obesity. Their aim is to help your child maintain a healthy weight by balancing the calories that he or she eats and drinks with the energy needed for growth and physical activity. Representatives from the KKIA program were at Coy to talk about eating and living a healthy lifestyle. Ask your child what he or she learned about eating the right food and getting enough exercise. Lessons like these are part of life-long learning! district recently partnered with the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority to transition away from traditional electricity to wind and solar power. Sen. Brown honored the school district, located in Lucas County, by inserting a statement about the district’s environmental work into the official Congressional Record. “Oregon City School District administrators, teachers, parents – and especially students – are working to improve our environment. I am proud that Ohio is home to schools that are taking steps to protect our environment for current and future generations,” Sen. Brown said. “Schools that work to reduce environment-related health issues are doing their part to provide students with an environment where learning is the primary focus.” Oregon City Schools set up wind turbines at Clay High School and Eisenhower Middle School and installed solar panels on the roofs of Jerusalem and Starr Elementary Schools. In just 10 days in October, Clay Campus’s wind turbine, Power Wind 56, produced 149 percent of campus energy needs. All computers, all lights, all kitchen activity, and fans on Clay Campus are now wind-powered. Besides saving on energy costs, as of March 21, the school district is producing 800 fewer tons of carbon dioxide, meaning less acid rain-causing sulfur dioxide and nitrous oxide is going into the air. Jerusalem 4th and 5th grade students in front of a Stinger Jet. Fourth and Fifth graders at Jerusalem Elementary had the privilege of visiting the 112th Fighter Toledo Air Guard this month! Thanks to Lieutenant Colonel Belli, 112th Fighter Squadron Commander, and Jerusalem parent. Students were able to tour the hanger, and see jets, fuel tanks, and even missiles up close! The classes were given the opportunity to talk to National Air Guard officers. Pilots answered students’ questions, and explained their role in keeping our nation safe. As a special treat, students also had a group panoramic picture taken in front of a Stinger Jet. The photo, sponsored by JPG, will be given to each fourth and fifth grader as a special memory of their last year at Jerusalem. A Beatles Medley www.oregoncityschools.org In April, the Clay High School Choir, directed by Tony Zsigray, performed at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio. After submitting an audition video, the choir was selected to perform a medley of music by “The Beatles.” 9 The Fascinating Professor Ray Left: Professor Ray entertained students with demostrations involving light. Right: "Ok, I see it now." Students at Jerusalem were fascinated by a visit from Professor Ray on May 17, Whose demonstration on Luminosity enlightened everyone watching. Professor Ray talked about reflecting light and refracting light, and showed a magic trick using a mirror. He demonstrated how the human eye works with convex and concave mirrors and a little toy pig. He created fire in teachers’ hands, and gave an example of how glow sticks work. Volunteers helped by making a simple circuit, and by holding a magnifying glass to their eye, and also got to see a pickle used as an example of a light bulb! Real Heros Read Left: A student from each classroom was selected to have lunch with the authors. Right: The authors entertained the students with various activities. On May 14, Starr School was privileged to have authors David Anthony and Charles David Clasman come to speak to the students, who were entertained by their story telling, balloon-sword knighting, and juggling. David and Charles have written three different series of books: Heroes A2Z, Knightscares, and Mystery What Is TACIRA? Underground. The students enjoyed the presentation, and a student was selected from each classroom to have lunch with the authors, whose key messages were “Real Heros Read.” They also stressed how readers can go anywhere with a book.
