William Kelley High School begins Arts Integration
Project with Perpich Center for Arts Education
Nine school districts in Northeast Minnesota,
including William Kelley High School in Silver Bay,,
are embarking on a long-term adventure with the
Perpich Center for Arts Education and receiving
concentrated support and direct professional
development. Using state Legacy funds, teacher
teams create new curriculum that infuses academics
and the arts in ways that the participants believe
will help to increase learning, heighten student
interest and build community in their schools.
Teachers at William Kelley who are participating
include: Katie Fritz (English/Language Arts), Lela
Goettl (Special Education), Alan Harbson (English/
Language Arts), Dan Johnson (Mathematics), Lisa
Malcomb (Visual Art), and Kris Peterson (Band).
“True arts integration pushes students to not only
create but to consider and evaluate their own work
and the work of others. The creative process is one that
requires higher level thinking skills but requires
students to not only think about their general studies in
a different way, but to also interpret them through the
creation of an artwork whether it be visual art, song,
poetry or dance.” said Lisa Malcomb.
The schools and districts involved are : Big Fork
School, Deer River High School and NashwaukKeewatin High School, Itasca County; Cloquet Public
Schools and Cromwell-Wright School, Carlton County;
Ely Public Schools and Proctor Public Schools, St.
Louis County; and Hill City School, Aitkin County.

MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT FOR
LAKE SUPERIOR SCHOOL DISTRICT
Great things are taking place and will be
taking place in the Lake Superior Schools.
We are upgrading three computer labs one
in each of our schools. The current computers
were not able to operate many of the programs
our teachers use as tools when working with
the students. The new computers will be able
to operate the new SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD
software program used by the high schools.
The elementary students will be able to more
effectively log into the Compass Odyssey
program they utilize to enhance academic
skills. This is a great addition for our schools.
This year teachers are continuing to focus
on the students that attend our schools. They
are working on formative assessment.
Formative assessment is not another test, but
assessing students throughout the school year
on what is being taught in the classroom. The
teachers want to know what students already
know and what they need to learn. The teachers
can then plan lessons to meet the needs of both

Outstanding news for the William Kelley
Elementary School was delivered by the MN
Department of Education. The William Kelley
Elementary School was named a Celebration
eligible school. The Celebration School
designation is part of Minnesota’s federal
accountability system that replaces No Child Left
Behind. Under Minnesota’s program, schools are
assigned a Multiple Measurement Rating (MMR)

well as a school’s progress towards reducing
achievement gaps and increasing graduation
rates. The state’s Title I schools—those
serving racially and ethnically diverse student
populations with high levels of poverty—qualify
for designations if they are top performers.
Celebration eligible schools are the 25
percent of schools directly below those
designated as Reward schools (the top 15
percent of Title I schools). The William Kelley
is now able to apply for Celebration status by
William Crandall
documenting what efforts they are using to
increase student achievement. MDE selects
schools based on their ability to effectively
document best practices that have led to student
success to receive the Celebration school
recognition. Celebration eligible schools are

The school gardens were very successful this
year and continue to be an asset to our school
district. The Tuesday produce sale at the William
Kelley School Garden was outstanding. This fall
the program added an outdoor oven and has
started making pizzas and baking bread. The
pizzas used sauces made from the garden

composting too. Both sites are always looking for
assistance with the gardens, so if you are
interested please contact one of the high schools.
The Girl’s Hockey program is one program,
the North Shore Storm. They are already
playing games representing the entire district. If
you enjoy hockey, attend one of the boys or girls
North Shore Storm home games held in both
Silver Bay and Two Harbors arenas.
Our students continue to perform throughout the school year through choir and band
concerts. In addition, both high schools will
have One Act Plays this winter. Check school
calendars for performance dates.

into February, another great activity that is offered
to our students in both of our high schools.
The district continues to address the topic
of Stopping Bullying in our schools. In
conjunction with the Two Harbors Police
Department, the Two Harbors High School
Interact Club and multiple sponsors in our
communities, the Bullycide project was
brought to our students and community in
October. Our students were an outstanding
audience and received a great message on
stopping bullying in school.

schools. More will be taking place over the coming months. Parents - watch for
communications from your principals about changes in security procedures.
Starting in 2015 the school Board will have two new members and two
returning members. Current board members Tom Burns and Paul Borg were

Auditorium at the College of St. Scholastica
Junior Parents and students and any seniors
families who did not attend financial aid night at
THHS last year are encouraged to go to this
informational presentation put on by a
collaboration of college representatives from the
region. This program will be an overview of the
financial aid process including the FAFSA form
and how schools use the information from this
form to determine aid. This evening is a great
introduction to financial aid and we HIGHLY
encourage junior parents and students to attend.
Seniors families looking for detailed and specific
help with their FAFSA form should read and plan
to attend the FAFSA Prep Workshop happening
at THHS. More information is listed in this issue.
FINANCIAL AID NIGHT AT WILLIAM
KELLEY HIGH SCHOOL
Date to be announced
William Kelley High School Library
All seniors planning to continue their education
after high school at any type of post-secondary
institution should plan to attend this informative
meeting with their parents. Interested juniors
may also attend. Financial aid expert, Bryan
Karl, from UMD, will be present to give
instructions and answer questions about
applying for financial aid using the Free
Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
form, which is required to receive any federal or
state grants or loans. A short session will follow
the regular session for those people wishing to
learn how to use the Internet to register

FAFSA PREP WORKSHOP
Wednesday, February 18
5:30 – 7:30 p.m.
THHS Library
Senior families and any community
members who are looking to attend any
post-secondary institution next fall are
invited to Two Harbors High School to get
help from financial aid experts on filling out
the FAFSA form. The FAFSA (Free
Application for Federal Student Aid) is the
financial aid form that is required in order
for students to work through the financial
aid process at any post-secondary
institution from two- year and four-year
schools to business/trade programs.
Information needed for the FAFSA comes
from current tax information for both
parents (if students are 21 years of age or
younger) and students. Families/individuals
will be given information on what to bring
and should be able to walk out of this
workshop having the FAFSA form
completed that evening. Financial aid
experts will be on hand to help parents,
students and community members step by
step with the process and to answer
questions along the way. This is a FREE
event and senior families and community
members are highly encouraged to take
advantage of this opportunity to get this
critical part of their post-secondary plans
completed. Even if students believe they
will not qualify for any form of grants or
‘free’ money, the FAFSA is required to
qualify for a variety of educational loans.
More information will be available in the
Two Harbors Guidance Office in January.
Please mark your calendars and plan to
attend. Community members are asked to
call the THHS Guidance Office at 834-8201
ext. 8205 to sign up for this FREE event.
TWO HARBORS HIGH SCHOOL
REGISTRATION FOR 2015-2016
Believe it or not, the registration process for the 20152016 school year will soon be here!! We will begin
the registration process earlier this year, with
registration conferences scheduled for Monday,
February 9, from 5:00 – 8:00 p.m. Parents and
students will be asked to schedule an appointment
with the student’s conference advisor. As decisions
regarding courses are very important both to
students’ progress towards graduation and their
futures after high school, the district highly
encourages parent involvement in the registration
process. Also, it is important that students carefully
consider their registration choices as changes to class
schedules are very limited after spring registration.
Again this year, we will be utilizing the Infinite
Campus software and students will be making final
registration selections online. More information/
details regarding this process will be available closer
to the March registration conferences.
WILLIAM KELLEY REGISTRATION
FOR 2015 – 2016
The date has yet to be determined. All 7-11 grade
students will meet with their counselor to create a
schedule for the next school year. Students will be
given a registration packet along with a scheduling
form. The student, along with the counselor, will
create a schedule. Once a schedule is created, the
student will take the registration form home for
parents/guardians to review and sign. The student
will return to school with the form and enter his or her
schedule for the next school year. More information
will be made available closer to the registration date.
GENERAL REMINDERS:
ALL PARENTS:
We are approaching the end of Semester I and it is
very important that students complete all their
classroom assignments/projects and study for their
exams, so that they earn passing grades in all of their
classes. If your student is in jeopardy of failing a
class, or you have any concerns about their academic
progress, you should contact their teacher(s) or the
Guidance Office immediately. All of the teacher
contact information is available on the school
website at www.isd381.k12.mn.us. You may also
call the main high school office at THHS, 834-8201
ext. 8201; or KHS, 226-4437, ext. 8102 if you need
assistance contacting a teacher.
PARENT PORTAL
Many of you have already accessed the Parent Portal,
which is a GREAT way for you and your student to stay
current on academic progress. We encourage any of
you who have not yet accessed the Parent Portal to
email either Shawn Goette at KHS (sgoette@isd381.
k12.mn.us), or Kris Lee at THHS ([email protected].
mn.us) to receive your initial password and
instructions for accessing the Parent Portal.
ATTENTION SENIOR PARENTS
AND STUDENTS!
It is particularly important that senior students pass
all of their classes this year. If a student does fail a
Semester I class, they should see Ms. Persons in the
THHS Guidance Office, 834-8201 ext. 8206, or Mr.
Stengl at WKHS, 226-4437, ext. 8134 IMMEDIATELY to
discuss ways to make up the credit.
There will be many deadlines coming up for seniors in
the next several months. It is important that students
check the daily announcements for various scholarship
and graduation information. Daily announcements are
read in homeroom, posted on the parent portal and
posted outside of the main office each day.
Finally, students and parents are reminded that in
order for students to participate in the graduation
ceremony on May 29th, ALL required coursework for
graduation must be successfully completed by the
last day of classes for seniors.

SPORTS AND EXERCISE
GROUP CIRCUIT TRAINING
Circuit Training is one of the most effective ways
one can stay in shape and lose weight. It tackles
every major muscle group by challenging
endurance and strength. A single session of CT of
one hour can burn anywhere from 400-600 kcals,
depending on body type and effort put into the
class. This class will be challenging at first, but as
you continuously attend, you’ll notice you’ll be able
to perform the exercises properly and more
efficiently. I will also help modify movements if
they are too challenging, and please don’t hesitate
to take short breaks when needed. We will be
getting on the floor, so bringing a mat of some sort
may be a good idea, but is not required. Just know
that putting something under your knees or lying
on something will aid in comfortably executing the
movement. There will be jumping around, so if you
have any knee problems, back, neck, etc. please let
me know so we can work on modifying the
exercise. Weights are recommended, but not
required. We will be doing lots of weighted activity,
multiple reps, so please bring a weight that you can
handle. Water bottles and clean athletic shoes (or
comparable) are required.

This class focuses on toning muscles in the body
through repetitive motion, with and without
weights. Each class will focus on a different muscle
groups and working that group to add strength and
endurance, while tightening and toning.
Class will be strictly focused on strength. There will
be no cardio training for the simple fact that we
want to focus on the muscle without being winded.
It’s an aerobic activity, meaning we need oxygen to
get to those muscle to push them to their full
potential so that they can strengthen and firm. This
class is light intensity.Items needed: Water bottle,
Mat, Weights (3 to 5 lb. suggested. Heaver or
lighter if you like), Proper athletic attire.

minds. Yoga is a great way to gain more freedom of
movement in the body, to develop body awareness,
and to relieve stress. In this class we will build on
yoga principles and discover what it means to do
18
yoga in our individual bodies. Class will end with a
deep relaxation practice. Please bring a yoga mat,
small blanket for relaxation practice, small pillow to
sit on, water or tea and anything else you need to

COMMUNITY ACUPUNCTURE
Science has validated what has been the
foundation of acupuncture for thousands of years:
that humans are complex bioelectric systems with
energy circulating throughout the body along
well-defined pathways. Insertion of very fine
sterile needles into specific points on these
pathways balances the body’s energy and restores
health. People receiving acupuncture generally
feel very calm during treatment and refreshed
afterward. Acupuncture excels at treating stress
and its symptoms, thus preventing more serious
health problems from developing.
