Preparing Students for Life's Next Step
Northview High
School Drama Club
presents “The 25th
Annual Putnam County
Spelling Bee.” An eclectic
group of six mid-pubescents vie for the
spelling championship of a lifetime.
While candidly disclosing hilarious and
touching stories from their home life, the
tweens spell their way through a series
of [potentially made-up] words hoping
to never hear the soul-crushing, poutinducing, life un-affirming "ding" of the
bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six
spellers enter; one speller leaves! At least
the losers get a juice box.
The cast includes Belle Mohl as Rona
Peretti, Ethan Jackson as Vice Principal
Douglas Panch, Roger Jones as Mitch
Mahoney, Kristina Sweet as Olive, Isaac
Christopher as Barfee’, Michaella Barton
as Logainne, Jessica Zuchowski as Marcy Park, Gabe Larson as Leaf Coneybear and Gabe
Espinoza as Chip. Maija VanRavenswaay, Hannah Moore, Katie VanOort and Logan Bohlinger
are guest spellers.
Music and lyrics by William Finn.
Book by Rachel Sheinkin.
Conceived by Rebecca Feldman.
Additional material by Jay Reiss.
Shows are at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, March 27; 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 28 and 3 p.m. on
Sunday, March 29. “Spelling Bee” tickets are $8 for adults and $6 for students; a dollar more at
the door. The best seats go to those who get their tickets early. Tickets go on sale on March 9,
2015. You can buy them between the hours of 11 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. in the cafeteria March 16-27. Or, call (616) 365-6114. As is our tradition here
at Northview, on Thursday, March 26 at 7:30 p.m. Senior Citizens are invited to come and enjoy our open dress rehearsal for free.

Superintendent’s Comments
Dear Families, Community Members,
Staff and Students,
Many of you, or at least many of your parents or grandparents, remember
the radio broadcaster Paul Harvey. The last part of his noon-time program
was a conversation that started with the phrase “….and now the rest of the
story.” The lead-in prepared his audience to listen to the entire story and
wait for Mr. Harvey to explain the details that were absent from the original
story. Most times the stories were very positive and at times they opened
the eyes of listeners when they discovered that all the facts are not present
in every story that is told.
Recently, our Governor shared his 2016 Budget proposal. As you might
expect, we paid close attention to the recommendations and how they
would affect the Northview Public Schools and K-12 Public Education in
the State of Michigan. We applaud the Governor for placing additional
revenue in the pre-school initiative. This is an “upstream” intervention that
will benefit thousands of students as they will be better prepared for the
rigors of kindergarten.
We also thank Governor Snyder for his recommendations regarding the
3rd Grade Reading initiative. We are encouraged that the best practices
for literacy acquisition he mentioned mirror the interventions we have
been using in Northview for the past five years. We are pleased that the
interventions are related to empirical data. He recognized that retention is
not a valid nor reliable intervention. We have shared with his advisors that
Northview stands ready to assist his work group to develop the next steps
in the process. This is also an “up-stream” set of interventions.
“Up-stream” interventions are less costly and provide long-term benefits.
An analogy would be the cost of building a bridge across the Mississippi
near the narrow part of the river rather than at its widest part. It is more
cost effective to provide academic and social interventions when students
are in early elementary rather than when they reach middle school.
We are hopeful that the additional funds set aside for students who have
“at-risk” factors in their lives that impact the time it takes for them to be
academically successful will benefit students in Northview. However, it is
too early to tell if this “designated revenue” will reach our students.
The budget proposal recommends that money be put towards paying
down the legacy costs of the Michigan Public School Employee’s Retirement System. We understand that this is an attempt to stabilize the retirement system. Remember also that public school employees are paying
more into the system as well. The Superintendents in Kent County worked
with former Senator Jansen on bills that helped address this issue.
“……and now for the rest of the story!”
The Governor’s budget proposal for K-12 public education calls for an additional $75 per-pupil in the base foundation grant school districts receive
each year. This is unrestricted money that a district may use to implement
their programs and practices. However, the “net-operational revenue”
increase for Northview is not $75 per-pupil.
The Governor’s budget proposal for K-12 reduces the “Best Practice” funds
from $50 to $20 per-pupil and it eliminates the “Academic Performance”
fund. Overall this means that Northview loses $70 per-pupil from last year.
When subtracted from the projected $75 per-pupil increase the Governor
proposed, our “net-operational revenue” increase for the 2015/16 school
year is $5 per-pupil. See the Foundation Allowance Changes Table at
the top right of this page.
This is a .07% “net-operational revenue” increase for next year in Northview.
Two other Kent Intermediate School District (KISD) districts are receiving a
$5 per-pupil increase. Six of the 20 school districts in the KISD will receive
$25 less per-pupil next year than they receive this school year. No KISD
district receives the full $75 per-pupil increase. The maximum “net-operational revenue” increase any district will receive is $45 per-pupil.
If a true increase of $75 per-pupil were to be in place, Northview would receive approximately $257,250 in “net-operational revenue” next year. The
current analysis of the budget proposal provides Northview with $17,150
or $5 per-pupil.
The Budget Process continues for the next several months and our Legislators hope to have it finalized by early June. I am encouraging you to
contact your elected official and ask them the following questions:
1. Our Governor proposed a $75 per-pupil increase to the School Aid Fund.
Are you aware that the "net-operating revenue" increase for Northview is
only $5 after reductions to best practice funds (-$30) and elimination of
academic performance funds (-$40)?
2. Are you aware that the Governor's proposed increase to per-pupil results
in six Kent County School districts receiving $25 - $55 per-pupil less in
budget year 2016?
3. Are you aware that not one of the 21 KISD school districts will receive a
"net-operating revenue" increase of $75 per-pupil in the base foundation
grant?
4. Are you aware that Northview, and other districts, are already implementing "best practices" to increase the percentage of students reading
at grade level by the end of 3rd grade and that the practices mirror recommendations made by our Governor?
They have a great responsibility to govern the State of Michigan. I ask you
to be respectful in your communications.
Sincerely and With Great Respect,
Mike

TREVOR SLOT BOOK LOVERS GRANT HONORS JEAN PECK
Every year Kim Slot and her family read through many wonderful nominations for the Trevor Slot Book Lovers Grant
Award. This Grant was established three years ago through Kim Slot and her family and the Northview Education
Foundation to keep the legacy of Trevor Slot alive. Kim says most people think of Trevor and think of sports when
in reality one of his biggest loves was books. This grant of $500 is awarded to a teacher at Northview with the same
passion for books and reading as Trevor. The decision is a difficult
one as many teachers at Northview share the love of reading.
This year, Jean Peck, a teacher at East Campus, was selected to
receive the Grant. She was nominated by East Campus Director
Derek Schmidt. When reading through the nomination, Kim and
her family felt Jean had the passion for teaching and reading that
emulated Trevor.
Mrs. Slot & Mrs. Peck
Officer Trevor Slot
Jean used the funds to shop with five students from East Campus. They were able to purchase
many books and spent a day discussing books and reading. Jean shared with us a quote from
one of her students, “We are so thankful that Mrs. Slot and the NEF would do this for us.” Congratulations, Jean!
1st ANNUAL “LOL NIGHT” A HUGE SUCCESS
On February 6, the Northview Education Foundation hosted their first

hours at Boulder Creek Golf Club. The night began with station dinners consisting of hamburger sliders donated by FAT BOY BURGERS,
pizza donated by FRED’S PIZZA, pasta donated by FLO’S, wing dings
donated by WING DOOZY, bagels donated by HERMAN’S BOY and COLD
STONE CREAMERY donated ice cream for dessert. BOULDER CREEK
added a salad bar, pizza and pasta station. During dinner guests were
entertained by the music of Tami Hjelm and Roger McNaughton. Tim Koster, President
of the NEF, welcomed the crowd. He acknowledged Dr. Paskewicz and thanked him for
his great support of the NEF. To honor Dr. P, the NEF will name a scholarship “The Dr.
Paskewicz Legacy Scholarship.” Michelle McCormick of WGRD served as the evening’s
MC and reminisced about her days at Northview. Hypnotist Chaz King had eight guests
hypnotized and the crowd laughing out loud. The headliner comedian David (VanSlooten) Dyer, a Northview Alumni, had some reminiscing to do. He and Michelle both
remembered fun times with guest teacher, Mr. Rex. David performed and once again
everyone was laughing out loud! What a great fundraiser for the NEF and opportunity
for teachers, staff, community members and friends to spend a fun evening together.
Thank you to the many people who supported this event, the many teachers and staff in
attendance and to Boulder Creek.

KDL’s LIBRARY FOR THE
BLIND & PHYSICALLY
HANDICAPPED VISITS EAST
What is the Library for the Blind & Physically Handicapped? It’s a free service for all eligible people who
are unable to read normal print due to a visual or
physically disability, whether temporary or permanent. On January 23, Shelley Roossien, the librarian
for the Library for the Blind & Physically Handicapped
for Kent District Library, visited East Oakview’s 4th
grade. She shared information regarding the tools
and resources available to visually impaired people.
Students learned about Louis Braille; different kinds of
books with tactile graphics; how to use an iPad to read
books in Braille; what Braille is and how letters are
created in cells;
and different
tools available to
write in Braille.
Students learned
that books are
available to
listen to on a
digital talking
book player. The
visit ended with
playing a game
to review what
was learned.
Thanks, KDL, for
sharing at East
Oakview!

Electrical Learning
at East Thomas Edison would be
proud! Fourth graders in Mrs. Sonday’s class
are studying electricity. During the current
electricity lesson, students were given wire,
a battery and a bulb. They had to figure out
how to light the bulb making a circuit. The
glass bulb light shows electrical patterns to
Bri Austin (l) and Lydia Hunt (r).
WEST WELCOMES MRS. PIERCE & NEW BOOKS!
Welcome back, Mrs. Pierce!
Earlier this year Mrs. Kathy
Pierce, retired secretary
from West Oakview, stopped
by the school to meet with
Jen Frommeyer, teacher/
librarian. It was time to put
labels in the books donated
through NEF by the Pierce
family in honor of “Doc”
Pierce, Kathy’s husband
and a beloved retired bus
Northview bus driver. West
thanks the Pierce family and
NEF for this wonderful addition to their library.
Jump With Jill
Visits North
Congratulations on North
Oakview’s big win! The
“Jump with Jill” show visited
in January. North won the
visit from the rock & roll nutrition show that uses music
and dance to celebrate
healthy habits by transforming nutrition education into
a live concert. Armed with
catchy songs, upbeat dance
moves, and a hip wardrobe,
“Jump with Jill” uses the same tools normally used to sell junk food and keep kids sedentary
to get kids engaged, moving and learning about healthy habits. It energizes and engages
audiences to make the healthy choices that show their bodies the respect they deserve.
Thanks to Diane Kirvan for her work in bringing the show to North Oakview.
North Oakview
Says THANKS
Thank you for the Northview
community support in raising
money for our North Oakview
students through the sale of “Enjoy
the City” coupon books. Students
raised over $5,000 to support
classroom instruction and student
and staff experiences. In the photo,
North’s top earners enjoy their

Crossroads Student
Earns Eagle Scout Award
Congratulations to Nate Baxter, Eagle Scout
honoree. Nate is an 8th grade student at
Crossroads. He is in Boy Scouts of America
troop #230 under the leadership of Scout
Master Larry Wilson. His service project
was construction of nickel boards for Indian
Trails Camp on Lake Michigan Drive. Indian
Trails Camp has been providing camping
experiences to individuals with disabilities
(ranging in age from 5 to 70+) since 1953.
Sixteen boards were created, with the
design being altered so the campers with
disabilities could easily push various coins,
chips, or ping pong balls past pegs into a
goal hole. Nate is 14 years old and plans to
continue with scouts during high school.
He wants to work towards his Eagle Palms,
which are extra awards a scout may earn
after the Eagle Scout status is achieved.
Crossroads Honor
Society Has Heart
Books and pizza - what an amazing combination!
The kids at Crossroads would certainly agree, which
is why Lunch in the Library has been such a huge hit.
On one Friday of every month, students are invited
to come to the library during lunch to enjoy free
pizza courtesy of the PTC. A guest speaker comes in
and reads to the students while they eat. Some of
our former guests have been the family members of
Crossroads staff and public librarians from the
Comstock Park branch of Kent District Library. This is a great way to show kids how fun reading can be. It’s also given us
a chance to get students interested in
stories they might not otherwise pick
out. They have read spooky
stories like Neil Gaiman’s
“Coraline” and exciting end
-of-the-world thrillers like Susan
Beth Pfeffer’s “Life as We Knew It” and everything in between.
Many thanks go out to all
members of the PTC for making this program
possible and to all of the members of the Northview
Community. Whether they’re coming for the stories
or the pizza, it’s wonderful to have so many happy
kids in the library. Keep reading, Wildcats!
Crossroads Tennis Team

the school office. The first practice is 5:30 - 7:30

…And the Books
Just Keep on Coming!
by Charles Honey (School News Network 12.8.14)
When Emily Alt arrived this fall to teach English at
Northview High School, she found her ninth-grade
classroom library well-stocked with books.
That was thanks to her predecessor, Lindsey Tilley, who
last year obtained a grant for 500 books from the Book
Love Foundation.
But Alt saw some gaps in the collection, especially for
her male students. From her experience in Chicago
Public Schools, she knew where she could get more:
Donors Choose, a non-profit charity that helps public
school teachers obtain needed supplies.
It’s a Kickstarter-style model, in which teachers put their
requests online and hope sympathetic donors fund it.
Alt hit the jackpot. An anonymous donor provided
$300, good for about 40 fiction and non-fiction books
including “The Fault in Our Stars,” “The Impossible Knife
of Memory” and “I’ll Give You the Sun.”
“The person who funded this grant wrote me a little
note that says how much they believe in choice reading
for students, and how great it is to see kids getting
excited about reading,” Alt said.
The titles added to the library’s 1,000-plus books of
choice reading for students. The class celebrated their
arrival with a book party, then dug into the words.
“I have never worked at a school where kids are as
voracious, interested and diverse readers as they are
here at Northview,” Alt added. “I figured if they are
reading like crazy, then I better have awesome books to
ensure they keep that love going!”
East Campus HS Students Honor MLK
Northview East Campus High School students proudly participated in the
Community Peace March as part of the 29th Annual Commemoration Martin
Luther King Jr. Program at GRCC. Although the weather was near freezing,
Northview students joined hundreds of others marching through downtown
Grand Rapids in honor of Martin Luther King Jr.

Johnny Agar Motivates NHS Team
At January 23’s game against Forest Hills Northern, the Varsity Girls’ Basketball Team
honored Rockford native Johnny Agar and his family. Johnny recently visited NHS
sharing his experiences as a life lesson to building students’ character strengths. Every
game the girls wear TEAM AGAR across the back of their warm-up tops in honor of
Johnny. Every day the team is
inspired by Johnny to do their
best through perseverance,
will power and determination.
Johnny gave the girls a motivating pregame speech and
was named honorary captain.
He believes the world will
judge you not by the number
of times you fall down, but
by the number of times you
get back up. His story is truly
inspiring. Check it out on
ESPN’s E:60: Johnny Agar.
Spring is in the Air!
With spring comes spring sports, outside concessions and Festival. The Athletic
Boosters are looking for volunteers to staff the concessions (hot chocolate
machines will be up and running!) and teams to help staff the Elephant Ears
booth at GR Festival. The Festival runs June 5 - 7. Once again the Boosters will be
filling time slots with individual teams, their coaches, parents and players. Proceeds
are distributed to the participating teams.
Athletic Booster Scholarship applications are available in the NHS Guidance
Office. Each year the Boosters award a scholarship to a male and female Northview
student athlete in the amount of $500 for post-secondary education. All senior
female and male athletes are encouraged to apply. Thanks for your support!
