Once again, thanks to the generosity of businesses near and far, community members and volunteer committee members, a very happy holiday was helped along for many of our local children. Over 100 children in the Franklinville community received gifts to brighten their Christmas. We also extend our thanks to those who have contributed to the food drives at the school and the hat, mitten, and toy drives at our local businesses and library. Again, all donations have helped our local families including our own Food Pantry in Franklinville. The committee is, as always, grateful to the community for their help in mak-ing sure that those who might have been struggling this Christmas, had something under their tree. Even in difficult economic times, Franklinville School District residents have demonstrated time and time again, their willingness to help each other when the need is there. Great job team! If you have been inspired by this article and would like to be a part of Christ-mas Spirit 2019 or to find out more, please contact the Elementary or High School office. We accept donations year round! Thank you! Christmas Spirit Committee 2018

The Rachel’s Challenge group has been very busy so far this year. Four students (Joey Harasta, Seth Putt, Jaelyn Benjamin-Wilson & Kyara Nugent) attended a Character for Change Educational Leadership training with Miss Russell in Buffalo on October 26th. We can’t wait to see what they implement at the High School from this training. The group also sponsored Red Ribbon Week at both the High School and the Elementary School, getting the students to help out with different themed days in support of a drug free nation. A small group (pictured above) of Rachel’s Challenge students went to the Elementary School to help out with their Character Education Assembly in October, talking about Responsibility. Stop by the Elementary building to see their Tree of Responsibility. The group sponsored a Hat & Mitten Tree both at the elementary and at the Junior/Senior High School. The donations of new hats and mittens have gone to our Christmas Spirit program.. They also worked hard making Christmas cards for the residents of the Pines Nursing Home to help spread holiday cheer. Coming up this Spring will be the annual Rachel’s Challenge Staff vs. Seniors Volleyball game. I hope you will join us for that!

FoCus on ten BroeCk ACADemY

Welcome back to all students and staff. I hope you all had a wonderful restful holiday season with family and friends. We now be-gin to prepare for mid-year exams, Regents exams, and finish out the 2nd quarter.

Oklahoma! Congratulations to the cast and crew of our school musical, Oklahoma. The per-formance was held in November and was amazing! Thank you to Mrs. Burch, Mr. Briggs and all other teachers, staff and par-ents for all your hard work in preparing our students for this truly stellar performance. The talent that our students displayed was awesome! It was well cast, with seniors in the leading roles. Kaila Dick played Laurey, Theron Nelson played Curly, and David Lewis played Jud. The roles of Aunt Eller (Lexi Dick and Haley Reynolds), Ado An-nie (Mikayla Tatlow and Mia Pavone) and Gertie (Nicole Burton and Kaylee Brennan) were double cast and each actress brought her own personality to the character. The roles of Will Parker and Ali Hakim were hilariously played by Dominic Breton and Dylan Bleau. The ensemble was made up of students in grades 5 – 12. This was the first acting experience for many of the cast and they really stepped up to learn a variety of new things. One of the most fun experi-ences was learning to square dance and they brought a lot of excitement to the opening

of Act 2. The pit orchestra was made up of local musicians, music teachers and stu-dents and did a phenomenal job. The new Stagecraft class was responsible for build-ing the windmill which was run remotely. They also helped create the lighting and were huge in helping backstage. The show was well attended and we want to thank the Franklinville community for their support.

Quarter One Roundup! Report cards have gone home and parent conferences are over. Thank you parents for your support and participation. Your involve-ment in your child’s education is critical at any age! I have often told the students that a good education involves student respon-sibility, school responsibility and parent/community/BOE responsibility. To that end, I have met with all students failing one or more subjects (25% of each class is failing! This is not good!) So we are offering Extended Learning Opportunities (ELOs) to each and every student. This is a chance to work indi-vidually with teachers from 2:45-4:10 every day in the library. This is an invitation! Please encourage your child to attend. At five weeks, we will evaluate our progress and determine further opportunities. Our goal (and should be yours!) is that each child reaches his/her potential and passes all subjects! Please help us to meet this goal.

Holiday Concert The holiday concert performed in De-cember was spectacular. The bands and cho-ruses not only performed traditional tunes but also gave the audience the chance to enjoy more contemporary pieces. The audience left

the auditorium in a truly festive mood! Thank you to Mrs. Burch, Mr. Briggs and all others especially the students!

Happy Winter! I hope you all had a wonderful and restful holiday season. Just a reminder that all students should be checking the scholarship page about once a month to see what scholarships you might be eligible for (there are even 7-8 scholarships available to those students grades 3-11 each year). SENIORS: You should be checking this page DAILY! Scholarships can be found on our web page under “Services”, “Guid-ance and Counseling”, “Post-secondary Scholarships”, or “Graduation Awards”.

COMMUNITY SERVICE: any students needing community service hours should check with Ms. Rhoades for ideas.

Juniors and Seniors: REQUIREMENTS: release of in-formation sheet signed by a parent, and a resume listing all your activities, sports and community services must be turned in to the Guidance Office. Seniors also need two letters of recommendation and senior proficiencies. Senior proficiencies will not be handed out until the fourth quarter. If you haven’t filled out your FAFSA forms please do so as soon as possible, regardless of income. Please make sure to bring in a copy of each college acceptance letter and any scholarship you are awarded. Please don’t hesitate to contact me in the Guidance Office at (716) 676-8054 or at [email protected] at any time. JUNIORS: The PSAT was given on October 10th here at school. If you took the PSAT, when you get the email from college board to see your results, establish your account with them so it’s easier to get reg-istered to take your SAT. All Juniors should also register as soon as possible to take the SAT and/or ACT. You may register at any time but I recommend when you register you choose a Spring (March or later) test date to register for. If you bring me a copy of your username and password after you register, I will keep it in your file so if you forget it, I can help you with it. Again, fee waivers are available for those who qualify, just ask Ms. Rhoades. Remember that you can use the free Kahn Academy to prepare for the SAT.

Department News: In November, Ms. Rhoades took a small group of students to Jamestown Busi-ness College for their Careers in Business Day. The students got a brief tour of JBC and got to spend the day learning about the different types of Business programs and opportunities available to students not just at JBC but at many other colleges. Some of the careers that they learned more about were Sports Management, Website & Graphic Design, Business Ownership & Manage-ment, Marketing and Social Media, Public Relations & Community Development, and Hospitality & Tourism. Students saw pre-sentations, spoke to many area businesses and learned a great deal about the world of business and its many facets. The Sophomore class has been very busy with Career Exploration lately. In addition to doing a career research project in English class, they had a presentation on Career and Technical Development, took a tour of the Ellicottville BOCES Center and learned not only about the opportunities for students if they attend there, but also about the many different careers they can pursue. They also went to JCC in Olean for the annual Career Horizon’s event. This was similar to a college fair but instead of speaking to colleges, students got the op-portunity to talk to the actual people work-ing in the professions they are interested in. We are hoping to give the Sophomores a chance to take the ASVAB to look at more career development. We haven’t done this in a few years. Each year TBA/FCS help the Franklin-ville VFW with their two writing contests. Students in Grades 6-8 have the option to participate in the Patriots Pen and their teachers encourage them to do so, some teachers even make the contest an assign-ment for their History class. This year we had the following students participate: Nora Ainsworth, Ethan Allen, Nadia Bow-ers, Ben Brol, Gannon Callahan, Keagan Chapman, Alexia Chesebro, K’Lonnie Davis, Tyrnan Farrington, Jayla Frank, Mercedes Ginnery, Kadence Haines, Joseph Harasta, Nicolas Hillman, Megan Jackson, Julia Kellogg, Braeden Kent, Ashlynn Kidd, Patience Koch-Braun, Phoenix Koch-

Girls’ Modified BasketballBy: Coach Perkins The girls modified basketball season is well underway with two teams representing Franklinville this year. The seventh grade team includes the following players: Aubrey Ensell, Lilliana Haggerty, Elizabeth Hayden, Tyyetta Herman, Kathryn Lockhart, Cara Ossont, and Leah Steffenhagen. These girls are all new-comers this season and have been working hard on learning the fundamentals of the game. The seventh grade team began their season with a crushing loss to Allegany-Limestone, but came back the very next game with a 30-28 defeat over Olean. The improvement that they made in that short amount of time was impressive and very promising. The eighth grade team includes returning players Sarah Courtney, Megan Jackson, and Anna Slavinski as well as newcomers Sofia Bentley (seventh grade), K’Lonnie Davis, Lauren Reed, and McKenzie Schuyler. These girls truly have chemistry together when they are out on the court. They work well together, and they know each other’s strengths. They’ve faced some tough opponents so far this season, but they continue to demonstrate improvement and perseverance with each passing game. Both the seventh and eighth grade teams have shown that TBA has a promising future in girls’ basketball.

Modified WrestlingBy: Coach Jordan The Franklinville Modified Wrestling team this year has 12 young men leading the sport. We have 1 athlete from Cuba since Cuba merged with our school this year in the sport of wrestling. The team has 8 away meets and 1 home meet. We are looking ahead to a great season that ends just before Christmas.

SPORTS

Girls’ Indoor TrackBy: Coach Herman The girls indoor track team is off to a great start! Our team is combined with Al-legany, and Olean schools. This makes us the Allegany-Limestone Gators. Our track ath-letes are 8th graders: Ashlyn Collins, Isabel Porterfield, and Kaylene Wardner. 9th grad-ers: Mallory Jakubczyk, Kinsey McAfee, Nicole Burton, and Margaret McAuley. 10th graders: Zoey Green and Raven Bliss. 11th graders: Grace DeCapua, Sofia For-tuna, Alyssa Spring, Samantha Thomas, and Mallory Voegelin. 12th graders: Lindsey Clawson, Ashlyn Schuman, Shae Johnson, Madeline Lippert, Hannah Rohrabacher, and Kelsey Wilber. Looking forward to seeing the talent that this team will bring in the sprint events, field events, and distance races this season! We wish all our athletes this season, the best of luck! Thank you for all your support for our first ever indoor track program! I hope to see everyone at the track this season! Go Gators!

Varsity WrestlingBy: Coach Palmatier We are excited to begin our 2018-2019 season. Coming off a 12 win and 6 loss season last year, we hope to continue our suc-cess with another winning season. We lost a few key wrestlers to graduation (Michael Defoe, Jon Berger, and Dakota Olson) but we are also returning many letter winners including Jewel Wozniak, Joseph Baumgart-Chase, 20-match winners Nolan Palmatier and Everett Leonard, and 30-match winner Cleon Lawton. This season we are happy to be getting a few wrestlers from Ellicottville and Cuba-Rushford. Our team is young, but so far they have been working very hard and have great attitudes. Thank you to all who have supported us throughout the years at our dual meets and tournaments. If it wasn’t for all of the volunteers, putting on our tournaments would not be possible. We look forward to seeing you this year.

Varsity Wrestling: Front Row (L to R) Jewel Wozniak, Cayden Hatch, Devon Belscher, Wyatt Tinelli, Joseph Baumgart-Chase and John Hawkins. Back Row (L to R) Dylan Bleau, Everett Leonard, Tyler Learn, Cleon Lawton, Nolan Palmatier, Noah Lehr, Kyle Wittenrich and John Tinelli.

*Senior Night

This school year marks the first time that a Stagecraft course has been offered to TBA senior high students. For those wondering, “What is Stagecraft? Why haven’t I heard of it?” - well, you’re probably not alone. Stagecraft works in the background on Franklinville productions such as this year’s Oklahoma musical. Students get authentic experiences with lighting, sound, and stage element creation. For Oklahoma, Stagecraft worked to program and run the stage lights and microphones, build stage sets, and even automate stage ele-ments with robotics such as a windmill that was controlled by remote and a robotic gripper suspended above the stage to drop a prop on cue with the press of a button. Next projects for the course include programming and running lights and sound for the Elementary and High School Band and Choir concerts, but the course won’t simply stop at making it so performers can be seen and heard on stage; students have ideas for dramatic plays, robotic light control, and even programmable drones!

By: Elizabeth Bradley If you’ve wandered into the back of the high school library, you may have noticed a brightly colored room with a lot of “stuff.” You’ve just stumbled upon our MakerSpace! But… what is it and who is it for? The MakerSpace is for any and all students in grades 7-12 who sign out of a study hall or have special permission from a teacher. This space is for creation, imagina-tion, tinkering, experimenting, designing, and engineering. With the availability of almost endless materials, including tools, robotics, recycled materials, and craft supplies, the imagination and creativity in this space has been incredible!

Students have 6 main rules in this space: 1. Come with a pass and desire to create. 2. Work with purpose. 3. Do not waste materials. 4. Clean up after yourself. 5. Be respectful. 6. Be inventive and creative.

Students have been sewing, painting, crafting, programming robots, building with Legos, sculpting, taking apart and fixing bro-ken appliances, reupholstering, 3D printing, upcycling recyclables, and so much more in this creative space. Once students have finished their creations they are free to take them home. Many students have created gifts for friends or family members. Students have made some truly amazing pieces!New Stagecraft Class Having Great Success

What is MakerSpace?

“I Love to Read!” We want our panthers to have a love of learning and our students share with us they love to read! Students participate in daily five literacy tasks which include; read to self, work on writing, read to someone, word work, and listening to reading. Students express how much they enjoy reading and have the opportunity to practice their skills each day. During this time the classroom teacher meets with small groups of students to practice work-ing at their instructional reading level. Each teacher’s goal of working in small groups to have students practice skills in the area under-standing how to breakdown words (decoding) or making meaning of words (comprehen-sion). Students then practice these skills at their independent reading level during daily five literacy tasks.

Character Ed - Empathy “Empathy is seeing with the eyes of an-other, listening with the ears of another, and feeling with the heart of another.” ~Alfred Adler Each month we are developing our knowledge about a new character trait. This month our 3rd grade students did an amazing job teaching us about empathy. At our student lead assembly, Mia Sullivan began by ask-ing her peers if they ever felt angry, excited, surprised, or frustrated. Students raised their hands in agreement and she shared that they could take a walk in another’s shoes and show empathy by using the following five steps:

1. Watch and listen. How is the person acting? What are they saying?

2. Remember a time you felt that way.3. Imagine how you would feel.4. Ask how you can help.5. Let them know you care!

Please use the hashtag #proudTBApanther when highlighting the awesome things happening in our community.

School is Tough, So Are You! We recognize that learning is chal-lenging and continue to use growth mindset language in our building. The power of ‘yet’ thinking reassures us that we may not be there yet, indicating that we are a work in progress and continue to work hard. Students are aware that it is okay for things to be tough, but it is our work ethic, perseverance, grit, and determination to continue to work through hard things. Our students don’t give up and they continue to persevere in order to achieve their learning goals.

What Lifts You? What lifts you? Make sure to take your picture in front of our student created wings and tag us @Franklinville2 and share #whatliftsyou.

Writing that Makes Sense By: Mallory Perkins As your child first learns to write, his/her stories may not always make sense to others. Help his/her writing flow logically with these two ideas: 1. Even if your child isn’t writing sen-tences yet, they can tell you stories. As they describe the new class pet or something funny that happened at lunch, you can jot down their tale. Your child will get the practice of relating events in a logical order, and that can help when they put their thoughts and ideas down on paper themselves. 2. Let your child read their stories to you. Ask questions to encourage them to add information (“What did you do with your friends at recess?”) or to clear up a confus-ing part (“Who said, ‘Let’s go home’ – you or your brother?”).

Full S.T.E.A.M. Ahead!By: Elizabeth Bradley For a second year in a row, students in grades 3-6 are meeting with Mrs. Bradley two times a week for STEAM time, which focuses on Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics. During one meeting a week students are working on basic computer skills and completing computer programming coursework at Code.org. Students begin with drag and drop Blockly coding, which is a visual introduc-tion to coding. They work through growing degrees of difficulty while they learn how to create algorithms to solve given puzzles, including sequencing, repeat loops, debugging, conditional statements, and functions. While having fun, students are paying close attention to detail, practicing perseverance, predicting outcomes, and using critical thinking skills. The other meeting of the week is co-taught with the classroom teacher. Lessons focus on the Engineering Design Process and cur-rent topics at the grade level. Students work hands on in design challenges and other collaborative activities to help enhance the curriculum. Third graders this past quarter designed and crafted Franken Toys! Students had access to old, broken, and unwanted toys and designed new and interesting creations. Miss Gleason’s class is working with the WeDo Lego Kits which are a hands-on STEM solution that combines the LEGO brick, classroom technology and engaging standards-based projects using a discovery based approach. They even created commercials in FligGrid! The school had a chance to visit the Franken Toy Shop before Thanksgiving break. Students are currently using Lego WeDo 2.0 kits to build Milo the Space Rover. After they learn to code this robot they will go through the engineering design process to create a new creation, which compliments the Grade 3 ELA Module 3B. Fourth graders have been busy as well! They recently created hideouts for an Extraordinaire character using Paint 3D. Using empathy, they had to get to know their character’s likes, dislikes, needs, and wants in order to create a hideout that would best suit their character. They learned many new computer skills along the way. Fourth graders then moved on to circuitry! Using a battery pack, Play-Doh, and clay, students had to figure out how to light up 2 LEDs. Insulators, conductors, closed circuits, short circuits, and many more concepts were covered during this unit. Students then made different creatures with LED eyes using the learned concepts. Last, students created their own conductive and insulating Play-doh in a fun, yet messy, activity! (Sorry for any dyed hands!) Fifth and sixth grade students will begin STEAM time at the year’s midpoint! Follow Mrs. Bradley on Twitter: @FrklEdTech

© 2014 Math Unity LLC www.FamilyMathNight.com

Here are 5 simple ways to seamlessly integrate number sense activities while driving in the car, cutting vegetables, waiting in the dentist’s office...1. What’s the Question? Give your kids the answer and have them come up with the

problem. For example: The answer is seven. What’s the question? Sample answer: I had ten grapes and then I ate three. How many grapes are left?

2. Who Am I? Not only are these perfect for mental math practice but they’re a great way to reinforce math vocabulary. Sample: I am an even number greater than ten, but less than twenty. The sum of my digits is nine. Who am I?

3. Which Number Does Not Belong? This is a pre-algebra activity where kids sort and classify numbers into categories. Example: Which number does not belong: 4, 12, 17, 8, 20? Answer: The number ‘17’ does not belong because it is an odd number (or...17 is not a multiple of 2).

4. Which has more? A great mental math activity that gets kids to compare several quantities at the same time. Example: Which has more, the number of wheels on two cars or the number of eggs in a dozen?

5. And the Answer is... For this activity, kids need to compute a series of quantities in their head. Example: Start with the number of days in a week. Subtract the number of wheels on a tricycle. Double that number. And the answer is…

Annual review meetings are in full swing and we appreciate our families taking time out of their very busy schedules to participate in meetings. Thank you for being an active member of your child’s individual education plan. Working together leads to the long-term success of our students. Please feel free to contact the Special Education Of-fice if you have any questions regarding your child’s learning and the supports that may be available to him or her. The Special Education Department is in the process of making some changes for the New Year. The Franklinville School District is working hard to increase the con-tinuum of services offered through in-district programing for our students. Ten Broeck Academy is working on offering some new self-contained special class opportunities for students in the near future. The Elementary building has been meeting and planning out new ways to provide more intensive student support next year as well. The Special Education teachers continue to work hard to provide the best possible support services for students while continuing to provide them with many opportunities to experience and be successful within general education settings. Your voice is very important to us during this period of change. Please reach out to your student’s special education teacher if you have thoughts or suggestions as we continue to self-evaluate what we do for students and work on ways to improve our supports, services, and student outcomes. I am rather sad to share that I will be moving on from my role here at Franklinville as Director of Special Education. I have truly loved working here and getting to know the community and families in this area. The Special Education Department is very fortunate to have Bonny Carr stepping into the role of CSE/CPSE Chairperson with my departure. Many families know and have been supported by Bonny and are well aware of her dedication, expertise, and commitment to helping students and families here at Franklinville Central Schools. She has taken on this role in the past and I have no doubt she will be a strong asset to the Special Education Department as she transitions back into a Chairperson position again. I hope you and your families have had time to relax and enjoy each other over the recent school breaks. Please remember if you have any questions or concerns about your child’s development or success at school you can call the Special Education office at 676-8001. Someone would be happy to meet with you and discuss any concerns you may have.

Ten Broeck Academy is proud to announce that one of our seniors, Theron Nelson, has achieved the highest honor in Boy Scouts, the Eagle Scout Award. The Eagle Scout Award takes several years of dedica-tion and perseverance for a scout. It requires the scout to work his way through Tenderfoot, 2nd class, 1st class, Star Scout and Life Scout. Each rank requires a lot of work, some taking many months to achieve. Attaining Eagle Scout requires you to achieve 21 additional Merit Badges along the way (13 mandatory and at least 8 others the scout is personally interested in). A designated amount of time is spent in an authoritative/leadership position in the Troop or Patrol and hours of commu-nity service is required. The final rank of Eagle Scout requires a huge community service project the scout must lead, including deciding, planning and executing the project. In addition, the Scout must be of good moral character. Theron is the son of Robert and Jennifer Nelson and is currently a senior at Ten Broeck Academy. He belongs to Boy Scout Troop 601 here in Franklinville and is the first Scout here in Franklinville in many years to achieve this high honor. Theron also attends the Ellicottville BOCES and is studying Welding Technology. He has enlisted in the United States Army where he plans to be an Airborne Ranger after his graduation in June. Congratulations to Theron on this huge achievement! We are very proud of you.
