Tom Prosen Inducted Into
Minnesota Tennis Coaches Hall of Fame
Congratulations to Mr. Tom Prosen, who was inducted
into the Minnesota Tennis Coaches Hall of Fame on
Saturday, March 5. Coach Prosen is one of the most
energetic and enthusiastic teacher and coach ever seen
by Region 7.
Tom has been coaching tennis since 1971 and retired after the 2010 boys
season. He had a 10 year break while working with a computer
programming company in New York. Since 1990 he has either been head
or assistant coach in both the boys and girls programs at Eveleth-Gilbert
Public Schools.
Tom has achieved 330 varsity victories in his career with the boys’ and
girls’ teams. During his tenure as tennis coach, he has advanced three
boys’ teams to the sate tournament, two in Gilbert and one in Eveleth.
Coach Prosen has also advanced numerous individuals throughout his
career. Tom has won two Region 7 “Coach of the Year” awards and was
recognized in the “Who’s Who of American Teachers” both in 1998 and in
2010/ Tom is so well liked, that this past summer he was even chosen as
the 2010 Grand Marshall of the Gilbert 4th of July Parade.
Region 7 coaches and the students and athletes of both Gilbert and
Eveleth will always have a soft spot in their heart because of the
dedication Mr. Prosen has provided to the communities of Gilbert and
Eveleth over the past 30 years.

The Eveleth-
Gilbert Varsity
Knowledge Bowl
teams had a
wonderful
season again this
year. Every meet
would bring a
first place victory
over the other 23 teams they would compete
against on those days. Overall, for each month, the
Eveleth-Gilbert #1 team would be in the top 3 of all
of the teams that compete for the month (about
120 teams).
Unfortunately, the season came to an end at the
section meet by a very close,
disappointing loss. Going into the final round, the
team was seated 4th
out of 24 and needed to be in
the top three to go to state. They narrowly missed
it as the second and third place teams had scores
of 101.5 and Eveleth-Gilbert only had a score of
101—a half a point difference! Two International
Falls teams and one of Mesabi East’s teams were
the ones moving on to state. Overall, however,
Mrs. Walls was very impressed with her teams and
the hard work that they continually show all year
and wish luck to the teams moving on to state.
We have completed three
quarters of the 2010 – 2011
school year and we have one
exciting quarter to go. I would
like to thank staff, students,
parents, and community mem-
bers that have helped this year
go so well for everyone.
We had a very successful “I Love to Read Month” celebration
during the month of February. The Gilbert PTA and the teachers
at the Nelle Shean worked very hard to make it fun and
successful for students and parents. During the month of
February the theme was “Carnival: Your Ticket to Read”. The
students participated in dress up days, the carnival snow day,
book talks, an ice cream social, a magic act talent show and the I
love to read month Carnival held after school at the end of the
month. We had a great turn out for the read and feed for
parents to come to school and have lunch with their student.
I want to thank the staff, students, parents, and the PTA
members that worked so hard to make this such a success. The
students even had a chance to decorate their principal with 10
cream pies. It was sticky but fun.
We have also celebrated two hockey teams earning a spot in
their respective State Tournaments. The Eveleth – Gilbert Area
Girls hockey team and the boys Bantam team both made an
appearance at the state tournament this year. Congratulations
to both.
As we look forward to the last quarter of the 2010 – 2011 school
year, don’t forget to check out the updated website for district
information. Also, don’t hesitate to email your teachers with
questions or concerns. You can access the teacher’s email
through the PowerSchool link on the district web page. If you
don’t have a login or password to access PowerSchool, you can
come into the office and they will be provided to you.
We are looking forward to a wonderful spring quarter. Please
continue to stop by and see what’s happening in our
school. Thank you for your continued support and efforts to
help make our schools the best they can be for our students and
our communities.

This past fall, a
number of Frank-
lin staff members
were discussing
the possibility of
establishing a
community of learners that would meet regularly
to discuss challenges, support new ideas, and share
strategies. Studies have demonstrated that schools
and districts that promote strong professional
learning communities enable teachers to respond
more successfully to the needs of their students,
and the sense of a professional school community
enhances student achievement.
In January, the Teaching Essentials Learning Group,
a diverse group of 17 district staff members met for
the 1st
time to discuss the book, Teaching Essentials
by Reggie Routman. They now meet on a regular
basis (2x per month) to continue discussing chap-
ters of the book, share ideas, and collaborate. All
meeting minutes and book discussion notes are
emailed to all district staff. Any staff member is
welcomed to join in for professional conversation
and collaboration.
NEWS FROM THE FRANKLIN
-By LYNN BOL, Principal
During the 2009-2010 school year,
the Franklin Elementary worked
diligently at making positive
changes in our school. As we made
these changes and reflected on our
growth we worked through the
Minnesota School of Excellence
Application, which promotes excel-
lence through a rigorous evaluation process that show-
cases dynamic schools of the 21st
century.
The Minnesota Elementary School Principals’
Association (MESPA) developed this research-based pro-
gram aligned with national standards in:
leadership, vision, student learning, the culture of adult
learning, data and decision-making, and
community engagement. This school improvement proc-
ess is recognized by the Minnesota Department of Edu-
cation and the National Association of
Elementary School Principals. It involves a
systematic program of self-study, development of a
school improvement plan, and implementation of the
plan based on demonstrated results.
This fall, we were informed that we would be
honored as a Minnesota School of Excellence at the an-
nual MESPA convention in February, and we will be host-
ing a celebration of our own on Friday, April 29, 2011.
As the Franklin Elementary plans for this school and
community celebration, we are looking to make this a
memorable event for all. We plan to have a
Student Activity Fair during the morning, and at 1:30 PM
in the new gym we will have our School of Excellence
Program. All parents and community members are wel-
come to attend the event.
As we look at the remaining time of the 2010-11 school
year we have it filled with state testing, field trips, and
spring activities. Before we know it June will be here,
and our Franklin students will be
looking forward to some summer fun!

Franklin Elementary Celebrates
“I Love To Read Month””
February was I LOVE TO READ MONTH at the Franklin
Elementary and the students and staff were busy with reading
activities throughout the month. The theme for this year was a
carnival, and we had the students created door banners for
their classroom, and participate in a book cover making
contest. The classes did Buddy Reading with a different grade
level, and they took turns reading or reciting daily over the
intercom. We had a magician perform his
“Magic of Reading Program” and culminated the month with a
day of carnival activity for all students and staff to enjoy.
A Great Big Thank you goes out to Miss Lautigar and her 5th
grade students for planning and organizing the month long
event, another thank you to all of the senior high students that
helped work at the carnival, and to the PTA for
volunteering their time and making the popcorn.
Why do we have I Love to Read Month? We have I Love to Read month in order to
get the kids motivated to read just a little bit more than they usually do. We find
that by using the extra motivation, it gets the students hooked on reading, which
carries through to the end of the year, through summer, and into the start of the
new year. It also allows us to add a little fun, competition, and laughter into our
normal day! Great effort by everyone involved.
The totals for this year were…
Kindergarten : 3,340 Books
1st
: 2,510 Books
2nd
: 394 AR Points
3rd
: 870 AR Points

Carnival, Your Ticket To Read at Nelle Shean Elementary
Nelle Shean Elementary celebrated I Love To Read month during the month of February. This years
theme was “Carnival, Your Ticket To Read”. Each class chose a carnival act and if their class read the
most books or had the most Accelerated Reader points at the end of the week, they were able to take
their “Show On The Road” and perform their act accompanied by carnival music. Some of the carnival
acts included: acrobats, stilt walkers, strong men, fortune tellers, face painters, and jugglers.
The Gilbert PTA held a book fair during the month and invited parents to come
and have lunch with their children before visiting the book fair. The PTA also
rewarded students with an ice cream social on February 28.
Gilbert Public Librarian, Nick Prieve visited the school and spoke with
students about the importance of reading and showed students several
samples of books that were available at the public library. A Magic Act
Talent show was held on February 18th. Students performed magic tricks for
fellow students. There were some great acts. Mr. Ufford even brought his giant boa constrictor and
the students were amazed! On February 25th the PTA and teachers stayed afterschool and put on a
wonderful carnival for all students and their families.
At the end of the month, an award ceremony was held to recognize the top readers of the month. The top readers in the
entire school were: Grades K-2; Nestor Rova-Hegener, Grades 3-6;
Brandon Lopez. Other big readers were: Kindergarten; Jordan Takanen
and Joseph Clement, First Grade; Isaiah Villareal and Ellie Wiermma,
Second Grade: Brayley Bruun and Holly Kutsi, Third Grade: Elizabeth Moe
and Carly George, Fourth Grade: Rob Licari and Jacee Zasadni, Fifth Grade:
Jacob Lindhorst and Amanda Bartoletti, Sixth Grade: Ashton Sandnas,
Spencer Garland, Cora Delich, Damen Garland, Carlee Ceglar, Shane
Johnson, Avrielle Schneider, and Kaitlyn Rigstad.
Education Minnesota President
Celebrates Reading
On March 2, Education
Minnesota President,
Tom Dooher, visited the
Nelle Shean Elementary
Kindergarten class to
read a book to students
as part of “Read Across
America”.
“Read Across America” is a program developed by the
National Education Association to motivate children to read in
order to create lifelong readers. The program began in May of
1997 as an awareness program to celebrate reading on the
birthday of the children’s author, Dr. Seuss.

MCA Testing Information
By-DANETTE SEBOE, District Assessment Coordinator
On Monday, April 4th
our district will begin
administration of the Minnesota Comprehensive
Assessments (MCA’s). The purpose of the MCA’s is to
measure Minnesota students’ achievement with
regard to the Minnesota Academic Standards. In
addition, the MCA results can be used to guide
curriculum decisions at the district and school level,
and to guide teaching at the classroom level.
The MCA’s are accountability tests required by the
2001 Federal Legislation “No Child Left
Behind” (NCLB). NCLB requires that all public school
students be assessed with either the statewide test or
an alternate assessment. Minnesota public schools
need to assess all students who are enrolled in the
district on the first day of a scheduled statewide test in
the subject area in the district. Included with this letter
is a copy of our district testing brochure, including
testing dates for all students.
Grades 3-8 will be taking the new Math MCA-III’s (last
year were the MCA-II’s) this year. This test will be com-
puter administered, with a calculator being
available only for the questions it can be used on.
(Handheld calculators are not allowed this year.
Students must use the computer calculator.) Students
are looking forward to this new online test and
teachers will be preparing them for the test format
before it is given. The 11th
grade math test remains the
MCA-II and is still paper and pencil.
Science MCA-II’s remain computer delivered and are
still given only to grades 5, 8, and 10.
It is important that your son/daughter take these tests
seriously and do their best. Please make sure they get
a good night’s sleep the night before testing. They
should have a healthy breakfast and come
prepared with any materials that are required (pencils,
calculator, and a book to read). Attendance on test
dates is critical. Please do not schedule any
appointments or trips during testing dates.
If you would like more information, or if you would like
to look at a practice test, please go to

2. Take practice tests and complete any MCA practice
your teacher may send home.
3. Get a good night’s sleep the night before exams.
4. Eat a nutritious breakfast.
5. Wear layers of comfortable clothing.

have finished the exam.
8. Listen to and read directions CAREFULLY.
DURING THE TEST
1. Plan how you will use your time during the test.
2. Read each question carefully so that you fully un-
derstand what is being asked. It never hurts to read a

4. Keep a steady pace and don’t let difficult questions
affect your attitude or steal your time. Take a minute
to relax if you feel yourself getting stressed.

Skip it and come back later if you have time. Don’t
forget to leave the space on your answer document.
6. Do not let other students distract you.

Testing Resources For
Parents And Students
These exams are very important, both for the
Individual students and for the Eveleth-Gilbert School
District.
If your child is unprepared for his or her exam, or
would just like to brush up before the test date, there
are several options available.
www.PerspectiveForFamilies.com
On your child’s Student Report from last year’s tests,
you will find this website and “Learning Locator” num-
ber. If your child has never taken one of these tests,
you can still find learning resources to help your child
prepare. You will find activities on this site created to
help children prepare for the MCAs. Many teachers
will be using this site as part of their classroom prepa-
ration and practice.
www.education.state.mn.us
Click on “Accountability Programs” then on
“Assessment and Testing.” On this page, you will see a
menu on the right of the Minnesota Tests. If you click
on any of these tests (MCA-II, GRAD, BST) you will find
another menu which includes additional information
about the tests. This menu includes ITEM SAMPLERS.
These samplers are great for giving students an idea of
what the questions will look like. You may also find
practice tests here.
Classroom Preparation
Before test time, your child’s
teacher may offer some
practice activities. Some of
these activities may be sent
home for students to work
on. Please go over them with
your child. They will help
students learn what to expect on test day and how to
approach different kinds of questions.
