ATTENTION PARENTS: Is your child struggling to complete his or her assignments? Have they fallen behind on turning

in assignments? Or has your child been absent and having difficulty? If so, students now have

the opportunity to get extra help, extra practice and/or extra time.

Green High School is now offering morning help from 7:00—7:22am Monday through

Thursday in the Art Room. Lunch help is offered during 1st lunch in Mrs. Bentley’s room and

during 2nd lunch in Ms. Colyer’s office. During 6th period students may see any teacher that

Here is a great opportunity

for a unique gift for any

Bobcat fan! The GHS Band is

now taking orders . If anyone

is interested, please contact

Mr. Chaffins, any of the band

members or boosters. There

is a limited supply, so place

your order now and you will

have your gift before

Christmas. Thank you for

your support!

I have noticed the Blog’s I recently written have been loosely tied

together. I have written about the Zulu greeting, assuming

positive intent for the good of the organization, and soliciting and

responding to feedback. I believe all of these topics are grounded

in how we think. So to continue to think about how we think

(metacognition) I want to share a visual with you. The visual

represents the Pygmalion effect.

After seeing this

visual for the first

time I had to ask

myself what are my

b e l i e f s a b o u t

students and are

those beliefs guiding

my actions. One of

my overarching

b e l i e f s a b o u t

students is best

summarized by the following quote by Marva Collins “There is a

brilliant child locked inside of every student.” According to the

above slide if that is a dominant belief of mine than my actions

towards students should correspond with that belief and in turn

the students I interact with beliefs about themselves should

change as well. Hopefully this will result in student actions which

align with my beliefs about them which influenced their beliefs

resulting in positive student outcomes. This is one of the reasons

I like the Power of ICU program. It changes our beliefs about

students. We no longer get all caught up in why they didn’t finish

the work we just worry about getting the work completed. We

use extra time, extra help, and extra practice in order to get that

work completed. I have noticed in a few short weeks that

students actions and behaviors are changing some more quickly

than others but I definitely see a change. As you reflect today

ask yourself what are my beliefs about students.

GREEN HIGH SCHOOL BAND FUNDRAISER

VETERAN’S DAY ASSEMBLY JEFF DIXON & JOE SALYERS, ADVISORS

The Green High School Beta Club, along with the GHS History

Club, recently organized and presented the annual Green High

School Veterans Day Assembly. The assembly,

held on November 11, had in attendance the

Green High School student body and staff,

along with veterans from the community. We

were honored by having local veteran Jared

Timberlake speak to the audience about his

service in the United States Army. Jared also

leads the weekly Bible Club here at GHS and is

married to GHS alumnus Hannah Collett

Timberlake.

Our High School band performed two wonderful renditions of

patriotic songs, including the “Star Spangled Banner.” The

members of the Beta Club led the assembly, along with creating a

GHS Alumni Veterans display in the front lobby and a community

flag collage of Veteran names in the back high school hallway. On

behalf of the Beta and History Clubs, we would like to thank the

staff, student body and community members for giving us the

opportunity to honor our Veterans.

GHS History Club set up a showcase booth at this years student achievement fair at the annual Ohio School Boards Association

convention in Columbus. Over 75 schools participated in the

achievement fair. History club members that represented Green

include Tanner Baldridge, Connor Hamilton, Tyler Thorton,

Randy King, and Katherine Skipworth. Currently, History Club is

working to restore a local cemetery that includes Revolutionary

War and Civil War tombstones.

GHS MARCHING BAND, MATT CHAFFINS, BAND DIRECTOR

This has been an incredible season for the "Fire of the Furnace"

Marching Band. While we did not qualify for State Marching

Band Finals this year, we should all be proud of what our

students accomplished. Here is a summary of our marching band

season:

Students memorized 8.5 minutes of music and 56 different drill

sets, which are the pictures they make as they march to the

music. They competed in 8 different competitions in West

Virginia and Ohio, including a competition in the Joan C. Edwards

Stadium at Marshall University. Students earned a combined 16

First Place trophies, seven Second Place trophies, two Third

Place trophies and one Grand Champion trophy.

The band consistently earned an Excellent Rating (2 out of 5

where 1 is the highest and the average is 3). The band often

scored higher than bands twice our size and even out scoring

bands in higher classes. (Classes in Ohio Music Educators

Association (OMEA) sanctioned events are based on school

population, not band size.) This is the first year since I became

band director that we have not earned less than an Excellent

Rating at any competition! Our color guard students (Brelan

Baldridge, Marisa Boyd, Kaitlyn Cooper, Aimie Laber and Emily

Skipworth) had an almost perfect season; they earned First Place

at all but two contests.

The marching band also earned 3rd Place Band in the Ashland

Winter Wonderland of Lights Christmas Parade and was

awarded a $100 prize. Our students will also be competing at

the Huntington Christmas Parade of Lights on Saturday,

December 10 at 5:30pm.

Over the next few months, students will be involved in several

musical opportunities. The annual band/choir Christmas Concert

will be held in the Green High School Gym Sunday, December 4

at 2:00pm. Several of the 7th and 8th grade students were

selected for the Marshall University Middle School Honor Band

on December 9. More details will be forthcoming from the MU

Department of Music. Students will also have the opportunity to

audition for the Scioto All-County Band on January 14 and for

the OMEA District 17 All-District Band on January 21.

GES STUDENTS ATTEND BEAUTY AND THE

BEAST PRODUCTION

Our entire school traveled down to the Vern Riffe Center of the

Arts on November 18th to see Shawnee's production of “Beauty

and the Beast Jr. We had two students from Green Elementary

who appeared in the production and students were thrilled to

see the familiar faces on the stage. We would like to thank Sun

Coke for providing the financial assistance to cover all student

ticket costs for the performance. We are happy to have them as

partners in education. LITTLE LIBRARY IS A SUCCESS

Our Little Library is being used every single day. We are thrilled

to see students, parents and community members taking

advantage of this unique literature resource. This was a Girl

Scout initiative and a wildly successful one at that. We are lucky

to have such a great Girl Scout troop in our community. Thank

you Girl Scouts.

CAT WALKERS GO TO COLUMBUS

Mr. Tim Sowers and Mrs. Sherry Ratliff brought the Cat Walkers

Club to Columbus to the Capital Conference so they could share

all of the great things they do in Cat Walkers. Our students

wowed and impressed all of the judges and they did a fantastic

job representing our school. The Cat Walkers Club meets

during second lunch where they track their miles walked and

discuss and study healthy nutrition. Way to go Cat Walkers!!!

Green Elementary recognized Red Ribbon Week with a few

special guests. Josh Justice (Portsmouth Police Department) and

Dave Fairchild (Scioto Co. Sheriff’s Department) introduced our

students to Dark, the county drug dog. Students learned about

Dark’s training, how he helps people, and where he lives. The

students also got to explore the law enforcements’ vehicles and

ask questions. Dawn Richards, a nurse with SOMC, joined the

students to discuss healthy choices and taught them breathing

techniques to help with stress and relaxation. Dawn had the

students up and moving and practicing these techniques. Green

Elementary PTO made it possible to finish Red Ribbon Week

with Garry Boothe, the magician that brings a message of positive

character traits through his use of magic and balloons.

Green Elementary would like to extend a special thank you to

the Portsmouth Police Department, the Sheriff’s Department,

SOMC and Green Elementary PTO for their ongoing

FIRST GRADE CELEBRATES THANKSGIVING RHONDA SPROUSE

The week before Thanksgiving first grade students in

Mrs.Knapp's, Mrs. Miller's, and Mrs. Sprouse's classes learned

about the very first Thanksgiving! They learned about the

Pilgrims, Native Americans, the Mayflower, clothing, housing, etc,

from that time period. They had fun dressing up in Pilgrim and

Native American costumes during our little Thanksgiving feast!

First graders also learned about food being produced on farms.

They made their own butter using heavy whipping cream and

salt. They were able to sample their butter on rolls during our

feast! They were amazed that all that liquid could change into

something more solid simply by shake, shake, shaking it in a jar!

Fun times and learning!
