Dear Stakeholders:

As the 2008-2009 school year comes to an end, I would like to wish all of you a safe, healthy and happy summer. Many of our nearly 400 teachers will continue with professional development, college courses, and other studies over the summer to further their education and I greatly appreciate their dedication to our students and the Marshall County School System.

Congratulations to the Class of 2009! I, along with the rest of the Central Office staff, offer my best wishes to all of our graduates as they embark on their future endeavors. Hats off to our Valedictorians and Salutatorians from Cornersville High School, Forrest High School and Marshall County High School for working so diligently to achieve this honor, and who will be recognized at the June Board of Education meeting. Additionally, high fives go out to those 6th graders graduating from Cornersville Elementary and Oak Grove Elementary who were in the inaugural Kindergarten classes and spent their entire elementary careers at each of those new schools.

This past March the Marshall County School System successfully completed the AdvancED Quality Assurance Review (QAR) in order to be accredited district-wide by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS CASI). After many weeks of preparation and four full days of interviews and school visits, the QAR team, lead by Dr. Denny Jennings issued a report with the good news that the team had assigned the overall assessment level of “operational,” indicating that Marshall County Schools has met the accreditation requirements for the Commitment to Continuous Improvement standard. This will be an on-going assessment, which will be reviewed every 5 years by a team in order to determine that we continue to make progress. I would like to thank the principals, teachers, parents, supervisors, staff, parents, students, and community leaders who assisted with the QAR visit.

The last bullet point under “Suggestions and Opportunities for Improvement” listed in the report states: “Celebrate the successes of the district.” Have a great summer!

Three District Students to Attend Tennessee Governor’s Academy

The Tennessee Governor’s Academy, is a public, residential academic experience comprised of juniors and seniors from across the state who are talented in science and mathematics. It was founded in 2007 by Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen, who earned a degree in physics from Harvard University before embarking on a career in business and public service.

Administered by the University of Tennessee at Knoxville – the state’s flagship, research-intensive university, the Academy is located near Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the Great Smoky Mountains. Students are housed in cottages at the historic Tennessee School for the Deaf (TSD), a 100-acre gated campus nestled on the banks of the Tennessee River.

The 2009-2010 school year will have just 27 students in the Academy and the Marshall County School System is proud to announce three of those students are from our District. Forrest High School rising juniors Lenzie Howell and Jacob Terry will be attending, along with Cornersville High School rising junior Bethany Vanhooser.

Lenzie Howell is the daughter of Billy and Lisa Howell; Jacob Terry is the son of Chuck and Susan Terry; and Bethany Vanhooser is the daughter of Keith and Lana Vanhooser.

The students had to complete an initial application process which included essay ques-tions, teacher recommendations, high school transcripts and test scores. After the written applications were reviewed, about 100 students were selected for a telephone screening, followed by personal interviews on campus.

The students will have an opportunity to pursue a tuition-free two-year advanced course of study. They will meet all of the requirements for a standard high school diploma and still graduate with their hometown classes, according to FHS Guidance Counselor Becky Cheatham. However, the experience will be very different from traditional high school, as the TGA encour-ages “big ideas” in laboratories, libraries, and lectures.

"Science and technology are key to a huge part of the economy. I'd like to make Tennes-see a leader in these fields, and I hope that this school will make that happen," Bredesen said during a visit to the academy.

Students also participate in educational field trips that take them from Memphis to the Great Smoky Mountains to learn about topics from archaeology to geography.

Key partners in the Tennessee Governor's Academy include UT, TSD, the Tennessee Department of Education, the Tennessee State Board of Education, ORNL and Oak Ridge Associated Universities.

HOSA Students Compete During Spring MES TCAP Pep Rally! Marshall Elementary School kicked off TCAP week with a Pep Rally. Several teachers posed as "cheerleaders" and, with the help of the Tiger mascot, managed to get the school fired-up for TCAP. The "cheerleaders" led students in several cheers about doing your best. The "cheerleaders" also had signs that reminded students what to do during TCAP week. For example: Eat a good breakfast; Read all answer choices carefully.; Keep your eyes on your own test, etc. As the "cheerleaders" held up signs, Mr. Donahue explained to students what each sign meant. Mr. Coronado wrote a song that everyone sang. It was called “TCAP” and was sung to the tune of YMCA. To end our week of hard work, MES celebrated with "Hats Off to TCAP." Students wore their favorite

hat to school on Friday. They were encouraged to bring a donation for our local American Cancer Society. Donations were collected and given to Relay For Life. When all the collections were counted, MES had over $300 to donate. Mr.

Donahue's class turned in the most donations. Way to go MES students!!!!

S t u d e n t s worked for weeks in Ms. Amy Black-well’s art class at MES to create a still-life which in-corporated oil pas-tels and watercolor paintings. The hard work paid off with some beautiful results. Paintings were displayed throughout the school for viewing during the PTO’s chili supper and the week following.

We have had a busy and exciting semester in ESL at WES. In December, all students in the third-sixth grades were required to do an oral presentation on a topic and in a format of their choice. Some students chose to present a short biography of themselves,

which they presented with a poster. Yet others chose to write a short story, read a story to the class, design and teach a math lesson and demonstrate how to bake brownies. Of course bak-ing the brownies was everyone’s fa-vorite. The students were also re-quired to turn in a written assignment accompanying their presentation. They were evaluated based on their written work, their presentation and a

self-evaluation of their presentation. All students did an outstanding job on their presentations.

Another activity the ESL students of Marshall County enjoyed was attending the ballet in Nashville shortly before Christmas vacation. Please see the ac-companying article written by Jose Martinez (Fifth Grade WES) and edited and proofread by the other fifth and sixth grade ESL stu-dents at WES describing the excursion. All ESL stu-dents from fifth through twelfth grades at WES, LMS and MCHS partici-pated in this writing assign-ment; and all students pro-duced excellent articles each one having its own unique focus. The article featured here also appeared in The Marshall County Tribune.

“A Night to Remember”

By Jose Martinez and the Fifth and Sixth grade ESL class at West-hills Elementary School

The English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers and students of Marshall County watched the Nutcracker ballet at TPAC in Nashville on Thursday, December 18, 2008. The students got the trip to have fun for Christmas. The ESL team of Marshall County Schools gave this Christmas present to the ESL stu-dents for a night to remember.

The ballet was set in Nashville this year. Usually, this ballet is set in Germany. In the ballet, a girl named Clara got a nutcracker for a Christmas pre-sent, but her brother broke it. Then their godfather came and fixed it. Afterwards, Clara fell asleep and dreamed about a battle between mice and the nut-cracker. After the battle, they went to the forest and then saw dancers from different countries.

One student, Joanna, said her favorite part of the ballet was, “when the man and the woman were dancing in the glittery snow.” One teacher, Ms. Meyer, said, “the trip was exciting, and I had fun being with my students outside of the class-room.” The students, teachers and assistants enjoyed the ballet and cannot wait to go again next year.

Hands-On Learning at LMS

Lewisburg Middle School students have been involved in several interesting projects and activities as school winds down. The eighth grade math classes of Ms. Jeanne Wiles used the area and volume skills they’ve learned this year to complete this project. First they created a design and carved it into foam board. Then they used modge podge to fill in the design. Their finished product will be illuminated letters on black mat board painted with

metallic paint.

In Dr. Kilpatrick and Mr. Minor’s eighth grade social studies classes, students were treated to a special guest on Friday, May 8th. Dan Whitaker, a Civil War re-enactor, spoke to the classes and showed the uniforms, blankets, and weapons that would have been used during that time period. His information showed stu-dents that life in the army in the past was much different from today.

Mrs. Melanie Wiles’ geography classes used salt to create 3-D maps of the countries they have studied this year. Students worked in groups to make an accurate representation of each country. When the salt mixture dried, students painted the oceans, countries, and other

topographical features.

Mrs. Petree and Mrs. Hill’s eighth grade science classes have studied inventors. Armed with a list of common inventions from their science teachers, students headed to the computer lab and re-searched the inventor and when the invention was created. The students then worked in groups to put the inventions in chronological order and create a timeline complete with pictures of the inventions.

Mr. Morton and Mrs. Lynn’s seventh grade science classes have been studying simple machines. Students were given machine parts to assemble in groups. They worked together to produce a drawing of the machine and list ways they thought each machine could be used.

In language arts classes, Mrs. Jones’s seventh graders viewed pub-lic service announcements and then produced one. Students used the computer labs to get infor-mation on topics such as drug and alcohol abuse, animal abuse, and child abuse. Their end prod-ucts ranged from posters to power points and videos.

The Marshall County School System has won $91,539 from the State Department through a Perkins IV competitive grant. The money will be used to establish a distance learning classroom in each of our three high schools. We can offer CTE Programs of Study, as well as Advanced Placement and upper-level science, technology, engineering, and mathematics courses, across the system. All classes may use the equipment. Academic or technical classes with a high concentration of CTE students will have priority. The school system will also use distance learning equipment to offer cost-effective, high-quality professional development for teachers and staff. We can offer special sessions for parents, business, and industry leaders also. One room at each high school will be equipped with computers, printers, cameras, microphones, DVD's, document cameras, projectors, software, a digital visual presenter, and a Promethean board. Marshall County Schools will contract with Vandy Virtual School and the Center for Interactive Learning and Collaboration for online content and virtual field trips. These three distance learning classrooms will be established after July 2, 2009.

CHES Students Stay Busy The Algebra I classes at MCHS have been work-

ing hard to do well on the statewide Gateway exam on May 5th.

“Strive for 45” was the motto for the students as they took two pre-tests on March 10th and April 14th. Parameters for the Gateway require a score of 43 to 62 for “advanced” and 31 to 42 to score “proficient”. Any student scoring below 31 is considered “non-proficient.”Those students identified as needing extra help after the first test entered an intervention

program, meeting during homeroom each day. The success of the program is measured in the results. Students scoring “advanced” on the April 14th test rose 142%, from 26 to 63 (over a third of the students tested). The number of students scoring “non-proficient” was reduced by 56%, fifty-nine on March 10th to twenty-six on April 14th. Fourth block testing showed marked improvement by simply moving their test time to first block. The average scaled score rose from 65 to 89. All classes showed at least an 8% to a maximum of 31% improvement in their average scores. Algebra I teacher, Mike Whitehead said, “It was very obvious that the students were taking the April 14th practice very seriously. They’ve worked hard and I’m anxious to see our results from the May 5th Gateway exam.” Principal Jacob Sorrells agreed, stating, “The teachers and students put in a lot of extra work to make the program a success. I would like to congratulate them on their achievements.”

MCHS Math Intervention Program The Rocketeers of Chapel Hill Elementary School have had a busy, busy Spring! Lots of learning and exciting, engaging, and hands-on learning activities have taken place involving all the students. The “Students of the Month” award days continue to be an exciting event as a student from each class is recognized for their outstanding effort. In May we celebrated all of the student’s efforts with a school-wide “Success Day” which included a variety of fun-filled activi-ties and learning stations that featured local businesses and community members sharing with the students. We also en-joyed refreshments and games. Here are a few other exciting events that took place at Chapel Hill Elementary School this past Spring: Student Advisory Council - The First National Student Ad-visory Council under the supervision of Mr. Curtis came to read to all Kindergarten classes. Four seventh grade boys visited Mrs. Hoeft’s class and played phonics games with the students during Literacy Stations. “Love is Universal” - Our first graders performed this musical in February under the direction of music teacher Mrs. Marston. The songs cen-tered around the theme of love and they topped off their performance with a special rendition of “Mr. Delk Loves All the Children.” Young Scholar - Hunter Evetts, a CHES second grader was nominated by Ms. Rotchford and selected for the National Young Scholars Program, an interactive learning experience for young leaders to be held this summer at Wake Forrest University. Puckett’s Grocery and Res-taurant of Franklin held a benefit concert to raise money to send Hunter to the week-long summer program, and musi-cians Lesley Satcher, Heidi Newfield, and Ed Hill all per-formed. Congratulations and best wishes to Hunter! “Power Up For Super Breakfast” - CHES celebrated Na-tional School Breakfast Week by getting fully into the this year’s theme of “Power Up for Super Breakfast.” The week of March 2-6 was all about Superheroes and special breakfast menu items, games, prizes, and special guests. Super Sonic Lunch Lady even arrived on a lightening-fast motor scooter driven by Super Principal Dean Delk!

Summer Health & Safety Tips

While it is important to keep your children safe year-round, it is especially important in the summer when most kids are out of school. Hot temperatures and more time spent outdoors, perhaps unsupervised, can put kids' health and safety at risk. Sun and Summer Heat The most obvious hidden dangers in the summer simply have to do with the heat and can include:

• Heat stress and heat stroke, which can be prevented. Keep kids well-hydrated, take frequent breaks when playing outside, and watch for symptoms such as thirst, cramps, fatigue, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, headaches, and fever. Never leave a child or let her play in a hot car.

• Getting burned on metal slides or other hot playground equipment. • Sunburns--although parents should be aware of the risks of not

applying sunscreen on their children, sunburns are still common (especially if lotions are not used properly.)

Water Safety Tips Many families try to escape the summer heat in a pool or nearby lake. To keep your kids safe around the water be sure to:

• Childproof your pool by enclosing it in a fence with a self-closing and self-latching gate.

• Supervise your kids around the pool, even if they know how to swim.

• Have children who don't know how to swim wear a life vest instead of "floaties" when they are in the pool.

• Always have your child wear a life vest when on a lake or river, even if they know how to swim.

• Take your child to swimming lessons once he or she is four to five years old, the age when most kids can learn to swim.

Other Summer Safety Tips In addition to using sunscreen, supervising kids around water, and pro-tecting your kids from the heat, you can keep your kids safe this summer by:

• Keeping younger kids away from lawn mowers. Despite the need for a summer job or simply wanting to help, remember that the American Academy of Pediatrics advises that children younger than 16 years old should not be allowed to use ride-on mowers; children younger than 12 should not use walk-behind mowers.

• Using insect repellents when necessary. • Doing a daily tick check if your kids have been

playing outdoors, especially in or near wooded areas.

• Outfitting your kids with appropriate protective gear, such as a helmet and pads, when they ride a bicycle, skateboard, or scooter, or while wearing heelys.

• Avoid letting your kids play with fireworks and instead visit a pub-lic fireworks display this fourth of July.

• Avoid eating food that has been left out for more than an hour at barbecues and family picnics, which can cause food poisoning.

• Teaching your kids to recognize and avoid poison ivy. And of course, keep your home well-childproofed. This also applies to wherever you are staying when you are on vacation, whether it is a hotel or relative's home.

Marshall County Schools held their Safe and Drug Free Schools Task Force meeting on Thursday, May 7, 2009. This meeting was attended by principals, teachers, guidance counselors, social workers, local law enforcement, parents, and students.

During this meeting Chief Chuck Forbis of the Lewisburg Police Department presented information regarding gang activ-ity in Marshall County. He explained that there is gang activity in Marshall County, but that the Lewisburg Police Department has a detective that is trained in this area. They are closely monitoring these activities. Detective Bob Johnson of the Mar-shall County Sheriff’s Department spoke in regard to drug activity in the schools and community. He provided information to assist principals, teachers, and community leaders in identifying the signs of drug use in students. Additionally, he stated that the Sheriff’s Department has used drug dogs recently to sniff cars in the parking lots at various schools throughout the county. He talked about the Safety Line that is available to students in Marshall County to call the Sheriff’s Department anonymously and report any illegal activity, whether it involve drugs or weapons. He encouraged principals, teachers, and guidance counselors to make students aware of this phone line.
