A Community Update December 2016

December has descended upon us ever so quickly! It has been rewarding to see our students so actively engaged in academics, athletics, the arts, clubs, and organizations. We know that students who are involved in co-curricular and extra-curricular activities have a more satisfying school experience. We encourage our students to become active members of their school. The Maysville community continues to support our efforts and we are extremely grateful for your advocacy of our children.

I believe that our district has great potential for continued growth, but we need input from our parents. I am interested in convening a Superintendent/Parent Advisory Council that will meet monthly. The purpose of this council is to gather input related to curriculum initiatives, school operations, and budgeting, as well as, to further communication throughout the district and com-

munity. An agenda will be provided for each meeting, developed by the Superintendent, but items may be included as desired by the council. Your thoughts and ideas are valuable to me and I hope some of you will consider serving in this capacity. If you do not have children presently in the district, but would like to be on the council, please feel free to vol-unteer. If you are interested, please email me at rzitnik@laca.org or call the offi ce at 740-453-0754. The fi rst meeting will convene in January and will be held on our school campus.

Recently, much discussion has occurred related to the graduation points required by the Class of 2018 and beyond for graduation. Your local superintendents have been actively lobbying for some adjustments to be made. You might wonder why. While we all believe in accountability, it must be accomplished with educational integrity. There has not been a fair implementation of the new expectations for our students and some of our State Board of Education members agree. In the next months, you can expect to see great discussion around this issue at the state level. A resolution is expected to go before the State BOE that will reduce the number of points required. We will keep you updated on the progress of this resolution.

In closing, on behalf of the Board of Education, myself, and the entire staff of Maysville Local School District, I wish you a blessed holiday season. We know that many in our school family have suffered loss this year and our thoughts will be with you. During this season, we need to take time to show our love and appreciation for others in our lives. I want to thank each of you for entrusting your child with us and wish you a prosperous New Year. Happy Holidays!

Students Visit Columbus Museum of ArtMrs. Warne’s high school poetry class visited the Columbus Museum of Art on Wednesday, November 16th. Th e group was treated to a special “Art into Poetry” tour facilitated by docent Marcia Galante. Stu-dents viewed art and wrote words and lines inspired by the works. Th eir words were then combined to cre-ate poems, including the following two:

Gentle but strong Your hooves that guide us through life He has worked for man for ages Elegance and grace of a horse

Your hooves that guide us through life Strong mystical creature, how you give hope Elegance and grace of a horse A beautiful animal who has so much to give

Strong mystical creature, how you give hope To be free, to be wild A beautiful animal who has so much to give

Appreciate the horse To be free, to be wild He has worked for man for ages Appreciate the horse Gentle, but strong

--refl ection on Deborah Butterfi eld’s “Marcias” horse in cast bronze with patina 2015-16

Refl ection on expressionist art: I am here Windy, peaceful, whimsical I smell the aroma of dogwood bark Gritty and plain I hear the crunching of the leaves As my footsteps break the silence I touch the green plush moss Sift ing through it, it feels like velvet Stuck looking upon your graceful beauty As I breathe in I can taste the freedom of Th e open woods.

Several Maysville students had a great opportunity to be advo-cates for area gift ed students and gift ed education. On Wednes-day, December 6th, twelve 5th - 10th grade TAG students were invited to the MVESC to meet with teachers from several area school districts to discuss their experiences being a gift ed student in a mixed classroom (a classroom with students at diff erent aca-demic levels). Th e students, in groups of one or two, rotated from

table to table, allowing for a relaxed conversational environment in which teachers asked specifi c questions about their personal experiences in their classes.

Students had the opportunity to practice thinking spontaneously and to organize their thoughts to provide responses to thought-provoking questions while making suggestions for reaching gift -ed students. Th e event was equally benefi cial for both the stu-dents and teachers. Students were able to share their ideas, while the teachers were able to gain valuable insight. Many thanks to the MVESC and the Maysville administration for allowing this opportunity.

Maysville High School Robotics participated in their fi rst competition at Zane State College on Friday December 2nd. Team members were Cody Adams, James Ferrell, Wade Hill, Ash Malfe, and Brandon Seitz. Each member had a diff erent job that began back in September. Cody was the RobotC programming coder; James was the battery & tool boss; Wade was the captain, builder, and driver; Ash was the builder and trouble shooter; Brandon was the main driver, scout and builder.

During the competition the team participated in 6 dif-ferent qualifying matches in the morning and earned a record of 2 wins and 4 losses. Th e elimination rounds, which were held aft er lunch, saw our team and 2 alliance teams get knocked out in the fi rst round of the competi-tion.

Here are some quotes from the very fast paced hectic day. Cody Adams said, “Turbo may seem cool, but it doesn’t always work.” Ash Malfe’s comment was, “Func-tionality isn’t always pretty.” James Ferrell said, “You can never be to prepared.” Lastly, during one of the competi-tion rounds Wade Hill asked Brandon Seitz, “Brandon, why are you doing that?” Brandon’s reply was, “Because I can’t remember the controls!” Mr. Waite, “Even though the day was very hectic the team handled the stress and confusion very well.”

Th e team learned many things from the Zane State Tour-nament, and one day aft er the competition our robot is in pieces again for the 50th rebuild in route to our next tournament, January 14 at Pickerington Central HS.

Th is is the second year that the Maysville staff has participated in the event by making a donation for "Jeans Day" to wear blue jeans to work dur-ing the fi rst week of November. Th e elementary build-ing raised $605.00 and the 6-12 building raised $147.00 for a total of $727.00. Turkey Hunters Care fundraising co-chair Melissa Spring invited schools in Muskingum County to participate in giving back to the community to help those families in Muskingum County that are in need this holiday season. Th e thirteen local schools that par-ticipated were able to raise $3,072.05. All proceeds went to purchasing 227 turkeys (3,337 pounds) and enough

food to fi ll 50 food baskets. Volunteers from the Y-Bridge Longbeards gathered at Christ's Table and the Salvation Army on November 16 to dis-tribute the turkeys and food items for their care baskets. We thank you for your commitment to our community and hope that you have a won-derful holiday season!

CP English 11Visits Muskingum

County CourthouseOn December 2nd, Mrs. Warne’s 11th grade college prep students vis-ited the courtroom of Judge Kelly Cottrill where they read passages from Arthur Miller’s “Th e Crucible” and learned the inner workings of today’s criminal justice system. Set in the 1600s, “Th e Crucible” details the events leading up to the Salem witchcraft trials. Students learned how science, technology, and human interaction have resulted in a crimi-nal justice system based on investi-gative facts instead of spectral evi-dence. Mr. Wickham accompanied the group.

Maysville KindergartenCelebrates Fall!

Our students got to experi-ence fall by visiting other class-rooms. Fall is a time of shorter days, cooler nights, and great fall treats. Kindergartners spent part of their day tasting diff er-ent apple treats such as apple cider, apple butter, applesauce, red, green, and yellow apples and a no-bake apple pie. Next, they ventured into the process of butter making and got to make and taste their very own butter. Th en students moved along to learn about the harvesting of corn. Finally, they studied the signs of fall by investigating fall leaves while enjoying a trail mix treat. While the fall's harvest may be over, the learning in kindergarten never ends!

10,993 sent from the Zanesville Area!

Maysville's Work Study students from Mr. Greg Waite's class (in photo-Brady Gohring, Caydon Sowers, Austin Omen, and Ja-mie Hoge-absent from photo), along with area home schooled students, assisted Rolling Plains United Methodist Church in packing two semi-trailers with 10,993 shoe boxes. Shoeboxes were packed by individuals, families, churches, and groups from the surrounding communities and brought to Rolling Plains, Operation Christmas Child's local collection site. Each shoe-box is stuff ed with gift items such as dolls, soccer balls, toys, school supplies, and hygiene items that will be sent to children in need all around the globe. Operation Christmas Child uses these gift -fi lled shoeboxes to demonstrate God's love to chil-dren in over 150 countries. Since 1993, the Samaritan's Purse project, Operation Christmas Child, has collected and deliv-ered more than 135 million gift -fi lled shoeboxes. OCC's goal is to collect enough shoebox gift s to reach another 12 million children in 2016. Article was written by Gail Dreier.

Mrs. McCulley and her fi rst graders recently spent some time in the Outdoor Education Classroom making connections between the books they were reading and life around our school pond.

Th e Big Idea guiding the learning was “How books change lives around the world.” Students discovered how that can happen by reading books such as, My Librarian is a Camel, Tomas and the Library Lady, ABC Museum Book, and Waiting for the Biblio-burro.

Students were introduced to the fi ne arts through pictures of portraits, still life, and landscapes. To make concrete connections to these vocabulary words, students made portraits of characters in the books and drew still life pictures of various objects. Th ey reinforced the idea of landscapes by going out-side to the pond, studying the area, and by drawing pictures of the rocks, lily pads, bushes, and trees.

What a great way to connect the inside classroom to the outside classroom!

Taking the Learning Outside

Maysville High School CheerleadersMHS Cheerleaders started their season off at UCA Cheer Camp at the University of Akron. Th e squad performed very well; bringing home several trophies, ribbons and other awards. Several young ladies com-peted to be titled All-American Cheerleaders. Two of our ladies earned that honor-Ana Presley and Kalli Sidwell. As a junior, Ana has the opportunity to cheer in London, England over winter break. Freshman, Kalli Sidwell, travelled to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to perform in the Dunkin Donuts Th anksgiving Day Parade. We are so proud of these young ladies and the way they represent our Maysville Community.

We continued into football season cheering on our football team on Friday nights. Th is fall we were unfor-tunately hit with a few heartbreaking events. Th e cheerleaders went to work to help raise funds for the fami-lies of Rob Miracle and Andrea Lane through t-shirt sales, 50/50 and a raffl e. It was a humbling experience to be able to do good for others in our community. Th ese young ladies fi nished off the season by hosting an amazing Homecoming Dance. Th eir hard work made this one of the best homecomings, yet. We also need to recognize our seniors who will be greatly missed. Briana Bush, Hannah Castaneda, Kayla Eldridge, Miranda Reed and Taryn Smith have brought so much to this squad. We won’t be the same without you.

Now we are headed into basketball season and looking forward to another amazing season to fi nish off this year. Be looking for information on our Kiddy Camp and Father/Daughter Dance in the new year.

We are in search of a new Panther for next year. If you or someone you know would be interested, please contact Coach Merlo at amerlo@laca.org for more information.

None of this would be possible without the support of our district, community, parents, families and spon-sors. We are so grateful to each and every one of you.

Th e Maysville Outdoor Recreation class had a guest speaker from the Muskingum Soil and Water Conservation District. Nicole Hafer taught the class the diff erence between animal skulls that can be found in the woods in our area. By looking at diff erent characteristics of the skull they can be easily identifi ed. She also brought to the class several diff erent animal pelts to be identifi ed by the class. Th is was a great opportunity for our Outdoor Recreation classes.

During last month, Mrs. Dixon’s class was busy learn-ing about Holidays in November. Early in the month, the students had a lesson that introduced them to the fi ve branches of the U.S. military. Th e lesson gave a detailed history on how each branch was developed and how they continue to defend and protect our country today. For Veterans Day, the students had a chance to watch the 5th grade performance. Before our holiday break, the students prepared and served a Th anksgiving meal for the elementary staff . All food was made from scratch including mashed potatoes, noodles, rolls, and mini pies. Th e students also enjoyed dressing in traditional head wear. Some students wore pilgrim hats and bonnets while others wore Indian feathers. To prepare for the meal the students read a book about the fi rst Th anksgiving.

Holidays

During the month of November, our preschoolers learned all about Restaurant and Grocery Store. Th e dif-ferent jobs associated with both, how those people completed their daily jobs, and what we should do when we are in either of these places. Th e children had fun role playing in the dramatic play areas that were set up as a restaurant for a week or two and then a grocery store for a week. Aft er learning about the grocery store

theme, the preschoolers and their families took a fi eld trip to Conn’s Potato Chip Company. Th ere we learned about the complete process of making, seasoning, and the packaging of Conn’s potato chips! Everyone also enjoyed tasting warm, fresh potato chips. Th ank you again Conn’s Potato Chip Company for allowing us to tour your business!

During the month of December, the preschoolers will have fun learning, ex-ploring, and craft ing around the themes of Gingerbread Men and Christmas! All of the classrooms have been decorated with beautiful Christmas decorations and make us all feel like kids again! Th e children have really enjoyed decorating and redecorating their classroom’s trees!
