The Hudsonville Public Schools Board of Education Newsletter! March/April, 2015 The Appleseed Dear Community, As you may recall, Hudsonville Schools purchased the current Heritage School building and associated acreage in November 2014. Throughout January and February, we held eleven focus groups and two town hall meetings, with over 240 individuals providing valuable feedback. The purpose of these meetings was to ascertain the impressions of our students, staff, parents, and business/community leaders around the use of the newly purchased Heritage School building. Utilizing the Board of Education and community parameters of Equity, Flexibility, Opportunity for Students, and Fiscal Responsibility, the Facilities Committee researched a comprehensive list of options, two of which were presented to the community via the focus groups and town hall meetings: a K-5 elementary or a 5-8 middle school (also turning BMS and RMS into 5-8 schools). Detailed reports highlighting the findings of the focus groups and town hall meetings can be found on our website. The data from our stakeholders greatly aided our Facilities Committee's recommendation and the Board of Education’s decision. On Thursday, February 12, the Board of Education unanimously voted to turn the Heritage School building into Hudsonville Schools’ eighth elementary school with an anticipated opening in the fall of 2016. In addition, the Board unanimously supported an August 4, 2015, ballot proposal which, if approved by voters, will raise just over $20 million dollars by maintaining our current debt millage rate for six additional years. This will allow the district to address enrollment growth needs and other improvements without raising the current tax rate. If approved by voters, proceeds from this election would support: •Renovations to the Heritage School building •Safe/Secure entrances at all buildings •Significant renovations to Alward Elementary •Addition of ten classrooms at Riley Street Middle School •District-wide technology enhancements •Bus replacements The next steps in the process are to prepare a thorough Bond Application, which must receive Michigan Department of Treasury approval before proceeding. We have a meeting scheduled with the Treasury for March 9th. After a 30-day review period, our Board of Education will be asked to approve the official Bond Election Resolution and proceed with an election. At that time, we will plan on providing additional information about the specifics of the proposed bond issue. We are so grateful to the 240+ individuals who provided valuable data and feedback that helped inform the Board’s decisions. Respectfully, Dr. Nicholas Ceglarek, Superintendent !

March/April, 2015 New State Assessments ~ Just Around the Corner The Michigan Student Test of Educational Progress (M-STEP) replaces the forty year-old Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP), moving the state assessment from the fall to the spring and from paper/pencil administration to an online format. This change allows student measurement to be based upon current versus prior year learning. As in previous years, English language arts (reading, writing, and listening) and mathematics will be assessed in grades 3 - 8. Science will be assessed in grades 4 and 7, and social studies in grades 5 and 8. The 11th grade Michigan Merit Examination (MME) consists of ACT Plus Writing (a college entrance exam) and WorkKeys (a work skills assessment) as well as the M-STEP summative assessments which will measure student growth in English language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. Beginning in the spring of 2016, the ACT Plus Writing will be replaced by the SAT. Specific testing dates vary by grade level, with testing occurring between March 3 - June 6. Please pay special attention to the dates provided by individual buildings to ensure that your child is present and rested for the assessments. A parent information video that provides additional information about the M-STEP can be viewed by clicking here. Additional information on the SAT will be provided to high school parents in the coming months. ! PAGE 2 The Hudsonville Public Schools Board of Education Newsletter! March/April, 2015 PLEASE VOTE TUESDAY, MAY 5 ANNUAL OPERATING MILLAGE RENEWAL PROPOSAL On May 5, voters will be asked whether to renew Hudsonville Public School’s non-‐homestead millage. This is an annual renewal generating approximately $4 million dollars of operating revenue each year for our school district. The non-‐homestead millage was established in 1994 with the passage of Proposal A. Proposal A shifted a large portion of property taxes to a state education tax and an increased sales tax. As a result of Proposal A, school districts must levy 18 mills on non-‐homestead properties to receive the full per-‐pupil foundation allowance funding from the state. It is important to note this is NOT a tax on primary residences and is NOT a new tax. It is a proposal to continue the existing 18 mill assessment on only non-‐homestead properties such as industrial and commercial property and second homes. State law requires school districts levy this tax or lose a signiMicant portion of their state per-‐pupil foundation allowance funding, which would potentially require cuts to student programs. For more information, please contact: Dennis Baine, Director of Business and Finance E-‐mail: [email protected] Phone: 616-‐669-‐1740 VIP Cafe The 3rd graders at Park Elementary recently enjoyed an afternoon with some special guests during their VIP Cafe. The 3rd graders were asked to invite one person who plays a significant role in their lives to this fun-filled event. Grandparents, parents, siblings, and even Park's principal, Mr. Field, were among the VIPs! The 3rd graders and their guests were treated to an assortment of goodies, while enjoying games and a variety of activities such as slideshows, poetry, and Reader's Theaters. The 3rd graders loved the chance to have their VIPs in their classroom; while the VIPs were impressed with the leadership the 3rd graders took in preparing for this event. A wonderful time was had by all! Countryside Mobil Supports Bauer Students For the last two years Countryside Mobil, located on the corner of 48th and Port Sheldon, has been nominating Bauer Elementary to receive the Exxon Mobil Alliance Grant. They have graciously donated $500 that Bauer staff have been able to use to purchase math and science materials. On behalf of the Bauer staff and students, we thank Countryside Mobil for your generosity and thoughtfulness! 4th graders with sign that says “Thank you Countryside Mobil!” !

March/April, 2015 Ruff Reader at Alward Elementary Students at Alward Elementary School are reading with a special buddy these days. First graders and other students have the opportunity to read with a specially trained dog named Maize. The beautiful dog is owned by Jodi Koster who brings Maize weekly to read with students at Alward. Maize is a 2 1/2 year old Weimaraner. She started training with West Michigan Therapy Dogs when she was 11 months old. The training is an 8 week class where the dogs are introduced to different situations, smells, and sounds. At the end of the 8 weeks, there is a final test for the dogs and their handlers. After they both pass, they are required to go to 3 shadow visits. Mazie did her visits at Zeeland Hospital visiting patients, Sheldon Meadows visiting the residents, and the KDL Library for a Ruff Reader program. She did great at all the visits, but really loved the kids at the library. This is Mazie’s 2nd year volunteering at Alward with the Ruff Reader program. She is always very excited to go to school and see the kids and the teachers. On Wednesdays, Jodi gets out Maize’s vest and tells her "It's time to go to work". She runs right out and jumps in the car! Maize likes to say "Hi" to Mrs. Nurenburg and Mrs. Moore in the office before heading down the hall to read with the first graders. Maize and the Ruff Reader program has been a great addition to the reading curriculum. Maize is a sweet, gentle, and quiet listener to children as they read. The kids absolutely adore her and can’t wait for their times to read with Maize! Maize is helping our kids become more confident and fluent readers! Jamestown Students Visit the Grand Rapids Symphony On Tuesday, February 17, the fifth graders of Jamestown Elementary attended a performance by the Grand Rapids Symphony Orchestra, conducted by longtime associate director John Varineau. In preparation for the field trip, the students learned about each composer and listened to each piece of music. Considering the students have also spent class time listening to a read-aloud of a Beethoven biography, it was especially significant that they were able to hear one of the great composer's most famous works: The first movement of Symphony No. 5. They also were able to learn about the four instrument families. In the weeks before the concert, the fifth grade students had the opportunity to create drawings inspired by the Aladdin Suite, composed by Carl Nielsen. Some of their artwork was projected on the big screens while the music was played! A new piece of music called First Fruits of the Harvest was also performed. It was composed just for the Grand Rapids Symphony by Stewart Goodyear. For Jamestown fifth graders, the highlight of the performance was that one of their very own, Elle Kiszka, got to be on the stage and conduct the final piece of music, a Sousa march! It was an experience she will never forget! ! PAGE 5 The Hudsonville Public Schools Board of Education Newsletter!

Addressing this issue and being able to answer those questions may have a tremendous impact on the growth and development of your child no matter their age. As parents the first question we need to ask is “Whose goal is it?” Too often the goals or expectations we have for our kids meets our own selfish needs and not the needs of the particular child. Our dreams may not be their dreams. I once had a conversation with a college coach about this very subject. He so badly wanted his daughter to play volleyball and compete at a high level with the hopes of her being able to play at the college level some day. His daughter listened to her dad and did everything he said. She played travel volleyball along with high school volleyball and developed into a really good player. Her dad noticed she was never very excited about all of her accomplishments and wondered why she did not seem very motivated. His daughter one day said she wanted to be done playing and just focus on becoming an artist. Artist??? He could not believe his daughter would rather be involved with art than play volleyball. She reluctantly went to college and played volleyball for a couple of years and finally decided she had lost the will to compete. Again, she explained to her dad that all she wanted to do was become an artist. Her dad, disappointed and confused, was worried this choice would have very little influence in her life, and would not prepare her for the world that lay ahead. The exact opposite happened. She graduated with honors, received her doctorate, owned an art studio on the east coast, and ran an art school. Why did she have so much success? She found her passion despite her dad’s desires. One of the main goals of motivation is to help your child find their passion. Naturally someone is going to be motivated when they love what they are doing. That is the easy part of motivation. The real question becomes how do we motivate our son or daughter ! March/April, 2015 when it is not their natural passion. By definition, motivation is the process that guides and maintains goal-oriented behaviors. According to Greg Shelley and his article, 5 Keys to Motivating your Athletes, motivation can come in different forms. Some people use fear tactics to motivate. Threatening your child and using consequences to motivate may seem like it works in the short term. However, when done consistently, the child is going to lose their passion and the sport no longer is fun. Many athletes have quit their favorite sport because of this. Incentives are also a short-term solution to motivation. Over time the athlete will lose their desire to play because the incentive becomes greater than the real reason they started playing the sport in the first place. In order to create any long-term motivation, the child needs to understand the purpose for “why” they are involved with the sport. This purpose creates an environment of personal growth where the athlete is encouraged to motivate themselves. To help our child determine the purpose, it may help to sit down and ask him or her some questions. It is important for our kids to determine what their goals are for whatever sport or activity they are doing. This simple exercise will provide essential information to the parents that their goals may be different than their own goals. After these goals have been identified, the parents can use this information as a way to guide your child through those adverse times when they need motivation the most. Another way parents can assist in motivating their son or daughter, especially if they have been struggling, is to have them recall a time when they had success in that particular sport. As a coach, I tried this motivational technique with one of my golf teams on the way to a match. We had lost our two previous matches. I had each golfer talk about a great shot they hit during the course of the year. After doing this for 10 minutes, I told them if you start to struggle think about all those great shots you have hit during the year. Not only did each player shoot a season low, but the team broke the school record that day! The power of positive thinking is always a great motivational tool. As we know, motivation can be a complex subject, but it is my hope that this article provides some insight and tools to use. Focusing on the positive, along with identifying goals will allow our kids to develop longterm motivation that will last long after the game is over. Remember our goals may not be their goals. PAGE 9 The Hudsonville Public Schools Board of Education Newsletter! March/April, 2015 Hudsonville Community Members, In 2011, you overwhelmingly approved a school bond to build a new competition pool and renovate our current pool/fitness facilities. Renovation of our main high school campus will result in the following list of enhancements to the current pool and adjacent fitness areas: new family changing areas, new locker rooms, a new cardio fitness room, and an updated weight room. Construction and demolition of our current pool/fitness facilities will begin Friday, April 3rd, 2015. The timeline for completion of our new competitive swimming facility and renovations of our old competitive space will be the fall of 2015. Demolition and construction will result in the temporary closure of the locker rooms with limited access to the pool. Community morning and weekend events will be canceled. Our A.M. lap, Saturday open swim, and morning community basketball will be canceled until the completion of the locker room area. As a result of the spring and summer construction, we will postpone our swimming lesson programming for the summer of 2015. Limited summer competitive programming will still remain while the pool area is being renovated. Hudsonville Community Education will offer two sections of lessons in the winter and early spring to offset a reduction in other program offerings. With the new and renovated spaces, we look forward to offering these fun activities: • A.M. open/lap swim • Saturday afternoon open swim • Noontime lap swim on weekdays • Adult water aerobics classes during the day • Swimming lessons during the week • Age Group Swim Team (HEAT) • USA swimming and diving • Masters swimming • Cardio and weight room access If you have any questions, please contact Ian Kobes, Pool Director, at 669-1500, ext. #20243. The third grade at Georgetown Elementary was able to take advantage of the snowy winter with a trip to the Holland Discovery Center. Our classes explored a natural area in winter on snowshoes with a naturalist. We were also able to experience habitats, adaptations, and predator and prey relationships. !

High School Student to Raise Funds for Children in Need of Prosthetic Limbs Born without her right hand, senior Bailey Gulch has initiated a fundraising effort for the Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Foundation, with the goal of raising $1,000 for children in need of prosthetic limbs. Her goal is to bring awareness to this topic by sharing her story. Mary Free Bed was founded in 1891 when a group of Grand Rapids women recognized the need for medical care for patients of limited financial means in our community. Today, it is the only independent, non-profit, nationally accredited, acute care rehabilitation hospital in West Michigan. March/April, 2015 Mrs. O’Gorman, a life skills teacher at HHS, and her students have partnered with Hudsonville’s Student Council to help Bailey raise her goal amount. Students are currently working on raising money through “Clash of the Stache”, t-shirt sales, St. Patricks Day photo booth, sponsors, games and other activities run during lunches. High school boys will have the chance to compete in our “Clash of the Stache” facial hair growing contest for the month of March to raise money. They can sign up to compete and win an award in the following categories: Pencil Stache - Beard, Trash-Stache, WalrusStache, Most Creative Stache. There will be voting at lunches in March to determine winners. Bailey, who battled prosthetics her entire childhood, is pursuing a future in the field, and is also considering a new arm herself, at a cost of more than $50,000. Please consider a financial contribution in support of this foundation and Bailey. To donate to the fundraising effort, checks may be made out to Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation and sent to Hudsonville High School, Attn: Mrs. O’Gorman, 5037 32nd Ave., Hudsonville, MI 49426. Alward Elementary School’s “One School, One Book” Alward Elementary School families embarked on a unique experience to continue its’ read aloud mission. From January 21 - February 19, all families read the book, The Trumpet of the Swan. Every family received one copy of the book and one chapter was assigned each evening. Classrooms answered daily trivia questions to encourage and reward attentive, aggressive listening, and participation. The winning classroom had the opportunity to host a swan “trophy” in their room for a day. Throughout the One School, One Book reading challenge, you could hear chatter in the hallways and lounge about the adventures of Louis, the trumpeter swan. Upon conclusion of the book, students watched the movie and analyzed differences between the movie and book. Building a community of readers continues to be a focus at Alward Elementary School. It is evident that One School, One Book was a fun, engaging way to promote a lifelong love of literature. ! PAGE 11 The Hudsonville Public Schools Board of Education Newsletter! March/April, 2015 Second Graders at Park Share the Love! The second graders at Park Elementary extended the school's theme of Be the One into their Valentine celebration this year by making their own Valentines for each other. Each second grader made a unique Valentine for every person in his or her class. All together the three classes made over 2,000 valentines! Girls Varsity Basketball Team = Family! The Varsity Girls Basketball team has learned many valuable lessons on the court. However, this year they have learned more valuable life lessons off the court. They started off the season spending the day at Harbor House Ministries playing games and talking with some of the great individuals with disabilities. Then they had the opportunity to deliver Christmas presents to families in need in the Grand Rapids area over the Holidays. Their final opportunity to give back came at the Renucci house where they were able to cook meals for families with sick family members at Spectrum Health and Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital. At the conclusion of last season, the returning players got together and came up with one word that they wanted to focus on for 2014/15 season. The word they settled on was “Family”. Senior Morgan Bull put it this way, “Family gives us a sense of togetherness and makes us feel a part of something bigger than basketball.” Senior Captain Courtney Callaghan added, “Family is more than just what happens on the court, learning these life lessons has made it all worth it.” The focus on becoming a family has helped the Eagles become a very close knit team who has learned many important life lessons, in addition to the lessons they have learned on the court. Becoming a family has not only improved the team chemistry but has also improved their play on the court. The Eagles are currently 10-8 overall and 6-2 and tied for 1st place in the league. Senior Captain Madilyn Keller summed up her experiences this year by saying, “The experiences we have had this season have been unforgettable and have helped our team grow as a family.” Hudsonville Public Schools does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, height, weight, marital status, handicap, disability, or limited English proficiency in any of its programs or activities.
