Randy Nadler Takes Our Students on a Trip to Germany
On October 9th, the Student Council sponsored a guest speaker for the students. Randy
Nadler, who has been visiting schools for many years, presented a slideshow of his trip to
Germany. Mr. Nadler visits a different country each summer, learns what he can about their
lifestyle, landmarks, and culture, and then shares his knowledge with students in Kansas,
Missouri, and Nebraska. Some of the main highlights of Mr. Nadler's trip were the Cuckoo
clock maker and his house; the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Mary; Adolf Hitler's house on
the hill, known as the Eagle's Nest; and the famous castle Neuschwanstein, which has over
two million visitors each year. Cologne, Bayer aspirin, hamburger, and brats are some of
the items that Germany is credited for originating. Mr. Nadler pointed out that the sign in the
picture with the letters "WC" is very important because it stands for "Water Closet." The
technology in his presentation is better, but he still opens with the country's flag and closes
with a sunset picture. Thank you Student Council for bringing in Mr. Nadler to share his trip
to Germany; the students loved it!

We have now successfully made it one-quarter the way through the school year.
The weather cannot seem to figure out what month we are in, but as we live in
Nebraska, we would be foolish to expect anything different. We are now mostly
settled in with our staff and students, so I expect nothing but the best for our district. With that being said, I would like to highlight some items. In particular,
please take note of item number 1 below as we all should be proud and excited for
our students and staff on what they have accomplished.
1. NePAS Scores. The Nebraska Department of Education is in its third year of
including NePAS (Nebraska Performance Accountability System) data in the
State of the Schools Report. In simplest terms, NePAS is a way to rank schools
across the state using NeSA scores and graduation rates. The graduation rates will not be released until early
November. Below is a chart that shows how we rank compared to the other districts in the state, for both
this year and last year. I have also included our ranking change over the past two years. Please keep in
mind that this is a comparison of all public schools across the state, regardless of size. You may also go to
the NDE website, http://www.education.ne.gov/, and access the State of the Schools report for Sterling,
which provides a more detailed breakdown. In that report, you will also see two other rankings, one for improvement and one for growth. Improvement is comparing different students in the same grade for back to
back years. Growth is comparing the same students in back to back years. As a district we view this data as
important, but also realize that it is a one-shot picture of our achievement.
As you look at our results, you can see that we have made vast improvements in our scores. In fact, we are
STATE CHAMPIONS in grades 3-5 Math. We also did very well across the board in all other areas. When
you have success, one of the things we do is look at what we have done differently to get the result that we
have achieved. It is tough to pin down exactly what caused the change, but I would suggest a few items that
we have done and will continue to work on to be successful. Those factors include: (1) we are now in year
three of our new elementary math series, (2) we are also in year three of our RtI (Response to Intervention)
process for reading in the elementary and (3) throughout the building, we made a concerted effort to challenge our students to be competitive with these assessments.
Finally, as a way to recognize our outstanding accomplishments, we are going to hold a recognition assembly on November 5th beginning at 10:00 a.m. in the gymnasium. The public is invited and welcome to attend.

2. Veteran’s Day Program. Sterling Public Schools will be holding their annual Veteran’s Day Program on
Tuesday, November 11th. The program will be held in the gymnasium beginning at 9:15 a.m. The guest
speaker for the program will be Sarah Bredthauer. The program is open to the public and I encourage everyone to attend if you are available.
3. Pioneer Conference Vocal Clinic. Sterling Public Schools will be hosting half of the Pioneer Conference
Schools for a vocal clinic on Monday, November 10th. Approximately 140 students from six schools will
spend the afternoon working with a guest clinician and then show off what they learned in a public performance beginning at 7:00 p.m. In addition to the group concert, each individual school will perform a vocal
selection. One final reminder for this day is that we will not have school for elementary students.
4. Concerts and Programs. Please mark your calendars for our Holiday Concerts. The high school small
group performance will be on December 8th. The elementary program will be on December 11th and the high
school large group concert will be on December 18th. All three of these events will start at 7:30 p.m.

Living History Day 2014
On September 29, 2014 the 5th and 6th grades had the privilege of going to Living History Day in Table Rock. The students had several demonstra ons: the Steam Engine, Country School & Log Cabin, Vets, Stehlik Tours, Marble Maker, Print Shop, O o Rosfeld, The Blacksmith, and David Seay. One of the students’ favorite was the Marble Maker, because he melted glass with a torch, put several different colors of glass in a marble, and used a mold to actually make the marble. He sells them at the hobby store in Beatrice. He makes several different sizes. The students especially liked the musical demonstra ons. O o Rosfeld played a song on an old washboard, using thimbles on his fingers. David Seay played several different types of instruments made out of objects that made it quite interes ng. He had penny whistle, a bugle made out of a yak horn, a bow string made from horse hair and a wooden s ck, a carpenter saw which he used the bow string on, and a harmonica. The blacksmith was very intriguing and smelled a lot like coal. He made several different objects. The students wanted me to buy a snake that he made as a class pet. That is the closest they would get to a snake in my room. The Print Shop had our very own Mr. Salberg as a presenter. He showed the students how an old newspaper press worked, and told them the story of the owner who le one night and never made it back. The Print Shop is in the exact way he le it the night he died. Mr. Salberg did an excellent job, and the students enjoyed having someone from our school presen ng. We had several parents go with us, which was great because we were all split in different groups. We really appreciate them helping us out! Thanks again to Ria, Nicole, Mark, and Rebecca, and to Gary for ge ng us there and back safely!!!! We all had a beau ful day. Order your 2014-15

4th Graders Celebrate Pioneer Days
The Sterling 4th Grade ventured to Homestead Na onal Monument of America and Filley Stone Barn on Thursday, October 2nd to par cipate in Pioneer Days with the area 4th graders. A rainy morning brought about altered plans for the ac vi es at the Homestead Na onal Monument. Some of the acvi es that the 4th graders were able to learn about and par cipate in were: spinning, quil ng, pioneer toys, clothes washing, and learning about animals on the prairie. From Beatrice, we departed to the Filley Stone Barn. The a ernoon was filled with exploring the inside of the Filley Stone Barn, learning about blacksmiths, playing the string game called ‘cat’s cradle,’ and watching how marbles are made. This field trip was an introduc on to what we will be learning about in the near future while studying Nebraska this year! Ms. Schaardt The Learning
