From the Super– Mr. Collins

The Wolverine

The final Budget numbers:

Valuation increased over 45

million., approximately 8 mil-

lion of which is valuation from

the Trans-Canada pipeline that

currently runs through our

District. Tax request increased

$417,000 and State Aid de-

creased $440,000; General

Fund Levy increased 1 cent to

96cents. In all of the other

funds the levies were reduced.

The final levy for the General

Fund; Special Building Fund,

Qualified Capital Fund and

Bond Fund were reduced 1.8

cents to $1.145 /$100 of valua-

tion or $1,145 for a $100,000

valued property.

The Board and Administration

continue to investigate strate-

gies and areas where we can

be more efficient and effective

with the money we receive.

Our ultimate goal continues to

be improving student achieve-

ment and citizenship by pro-

viding high quality educational

and activity experiences for

the young people we serve.

School is in it’s 5th week and

after the construction delays

and problems things are be-

ginning to feel “normal”. I

compliment the staff who had

to adjust to the fact that their

space, or room was not ready

at the beginning of the year

and they had to use make shift

spaces to work with their stu-

dents. Kurt Kiesel will have to

do so until the library is moved

during Christmas break.

As the construction was going

on I continued to be im-

pressed by the structure or

frame work of the high school

side of the building. For being

40 years old the “bones” of the

building are still very good.

The challenges we face are in

the aging systems, such as:

heating and cooling in the gym

and commons areas, phone

intercom and clock systems,

roofing, etc. We continue to

monitor and establish priori-

ties for repair, replacement

and improvement of the physi-

cal plant.

I have also been reviewing

data for the State of the Schools

report card that the Nebraska

Department of Education will

make available on their web-

site in October. In general, I

believe you will see improve-

ment in many of the areas

measured and reported. This

is supported in the elementary

grades by the fall testing re-

sults from our DIBEL’s assess-

ments.

The Board recently adopted

the 2011-2012 Budget. This

year was a bit more challeng-

ing than in the recent past as

we are receiving more than

$440,000 less in State Aid than

we did in 2010-2011. The im-

pact of this loss was somewhat

offset by a significant increase

in valuation. The State Aid

formula is often described as

complex and cumbersome,

making it difficult to predict

the District’s final allotment

with any certainty. It is my

opinion that the increase in

valuation we experienced this

year will decrease State Aid in

the years to come. In its sim-

plest form the Aid formula is

“Needs minus Resources

equals Equalization Aid”.

Since we have a stable student

and teacher population our

“needs” don’t change a lot.

Increases in valuation in-

crease our “resources” and

generally result in a loss of

equalization aid. Some Dis-

tricts in our State are experi-

encing a loss in student enroll-

ment (needs) and an increase

in valuation (resources) which

results in even more signifi-

cant reductions in Aid. I be-

lieve our District will continue

to see reductions in Aid and

potentially become a non-

equalized school. The silver

lining to this cloud is that we

get off what has historically

been the “State Aid roller

coaster”.

From the Counselor’s desk Wade Finley - 7-12 Counselor

In the following pages I hope you find useful

information and dates that will help you and

your student prepare for their future. Please

don’t hesitate to call me if you have any

questions. I look forward to working for you

and your children.

If college is in the plan for the fall of 2012,

plans should be made by seniors to take the

ACT, SAT or COMPASS no later than the

December test date. Many colleges require

the test information to qualify for freshmen

scholarship awards next spring. Students may test as

many times as they choose, the college will accept the

highest test score. Check on the institutions in which you

are interested for specifics about their testing require-

ments.

Scholarship information materials

are available in the Counseling

Office. Scholarships are available

in a variety of interest areas and for

a variety of students. But they do

not come to find the student.

Scholarship searching is hard

work, but in most cases pays dividends. Juniors may

want to acquaint themselves with the files in anticipation

of next year. The educational planning presentations in

the area are an excellent way in which to gather a great

deal of information from a variety of sources.

The Lincoln Area College Fair held at SCC-Lincoln of-

fers an opportunity to visit with 200 representatives in an

afternoon. It is held on Sunday, October 23, 2011 from

1:00 to 3:30 p.m. This is an informative activity for un-

derclassmen as well.

Another activity on the calendar is a

Financial Aid Planning Program to

be held on Monday, November 7,

2011 at 7:00 p.m. in the high

school commons.

A representative from Education-

Quest in Lincoln will be here to make a generic financial

aid presentation, and also to explain the

services provided by EducationQuest.

We are very fortunate in Nebraska to

have a facility which offers the counsel-

ing and informational services Education-

Quest does. An extra bonus is that the

services are all free of charge. If you are

interested in more information, please

stop by the Counseling Office or contact

EducationQuest at 1-800-303-3745 or at

www.educationquest.org.

Sophomores PLAN for the Future

W-C sophomores will take part in an exciting program

this fall offered by ACT. The program, called PLAN, in-

cludes academic tests, a survey of interest, and an as-

sessment of study skills knowledge. Students who partici-

pate in PLAN get a head start on career and educational

planning. PLAN results help them plan their remaining

two years of high school and set career and educational

goals for their life after high school.

The PLAN program will be available to

sophomores and will be offered on

Thursday, October 20, 2011. Students

will receive more information on PLAN.

PSAT/NMSQT: Wilber-Clatonia High

School juniors will take the PSAT/NMSQT testing pro-

gram this fall offered by SAT and the National Secondary

School Principal’s Association. Taking the PSAT will pro-

vide the juniors with insight into examination. Additionally,

taking the PSAT qualifies the student to participate in the

National Merit Scholarship Program.

The PSAT is a voluntary testing program. Each junior

choosing to participate may do so at their own expense

of $14.00. The test date is set for Wednesday, October

12, 2011. If there are questions, please contact the

Counseling Office.

The entire junior class will take the ASVAB (Armed Ser-

vices Vocational Aptitude Battery) on Tuesday, October

18, 2011. The ASVAB provides valuable career interest

information for the student. The information can be used

by the student to investigate suitable career choices for

themselves. The military administers and scores the test-

ing program and provides test results for interpretation.

COMPASS is the entrance test for community col-

leges and will be offered on the W-C campus once each

quarter. The testing session typically takes about 2 hours

and testing dates have been scheduled for Monday, Oc-

tober 10, 2011 starting at 9:00 a.m. and Thursday,

December 8, 2011 starting at 9:00 a.m. If you are inter-

ested please contact Mr. Finley in the Counseling Office.

EXPLORE is an assessment that will be used with

8th grade students this fall to assess their achievement in

Reading, Language Arts, Mathematics and Science. The

tool also includes an interest inventory that will help iden-

tify interests and skills that can be used in career explora-

tion activities. The assessment is created by the same

organization that has created the PLAN assessment used

with sophomores and the ACT used as juniors and sen-

iors to determine a student’s readiness for college.

Using the two years of results from the EXPLORE and

PLAN, students will help to determine academic growth

and prepare the students better for any post high school

plans. The EXPLORE will be administered to 8th grades

students on Wednesday, October 19, 2011 from 8:10

to 11:36 a.m. information and preparation activities will

be shared with the 8th grade prior to the administration of

the assessment.

CAREER EXPLORATION activities

are a regular part of the 7th, 8th and 9th

grade students’ schedules this year. The

students will meet with the counselor on

a regular basis to complete career explo-

ration activities to help identify interest

and skills that will lead to occupational

interests later in their school careers.

Early activities will help students identify specific interest

areas that may help identify career clusters of interest.

Investigation into specific careers will follow later in the

meetings. Students in 8th and 9th grades will also investi-

gate post high school options available to them. Plans will

be developed for selecting high school courses that will

help them to achieve later goals. Parents will be involved

in these plans and will be receiving information about

courses of study chosen and interest and career options

investigated by students.

NEBRASKA CAREER

SENIORS ARE MAKING

GRADUATION

PREPARATIONS

The senior class will be selecting class

colors in anticipation of graduation.

Sample announcements will be or-

dered and will be available for final se-

lection during the month of November.

Class memorabilia can also be ordered at the time of the

announcement selection. It is time to think about how

many announcements, thank you notes and open house

cards you will need. Seniors will bring home an order

packet about one week before the selection date for plan-

ning the items desired.

Seniors have also been measured for caps and gowns.

Committees for other senior activities have been formed

and will be organized for graduation. It may seem early,

but the preparations are time consuming. By beginning

early, a last minute flurry of activity can be avoided.

Graduation is Saturday, May 12, 2012

2:00 p.m. High School Gymnasium

CHECKOUT THE EVENTS

CALENDAR ON THE

SCC WEBSITE

Go to www.southeast.edu, and

click on the More Events choice to

learn about the upcoming events

at all SCC campuses. SCC is offering Campus Discovery

Days several times during the year for parents and stu-

dents to investigate each campus. These days along with

other events and activities, create a wonderful opportu-

nity to see what the campuses have to offer. Most col-

leges and universities have similar information on their

websites. Check out the institutions in which you are in-

terested.

SENIORS . . . have you visited your top colleges?

If you haven’t done so already, visit your top college

choices soon as application deadlines will start hitting

this fall. Follow these tips for a successful visit:

Contact the admissions office at least two weeks in

advance to schedule your visit. Make appointments

with an admissions representative, financial aid coun-

selor and a faculty member in the area of study that

interests you.

Check out the college website before your visit.

Most college sites have a section for prospective stu-

dents where you can learn about the school’s admis-

sions process, types of majors, student services and

employment opportunities. You might even be able to

schedule your visit online.

Visit while school is in session. You won’t get the

true flavor during breaks or finals week.

Get a feel for the campus. Hang out in the student

union, find coffee shops with wireless internet access,

eat in a restaurant close to campus or attend athletic or

cultural events.

Ask LOTS of questions. See the EducationQuest

College Prep Handbook or website for good questions

to ask.

Winning the Scholarship Game

Follow these tips to increase your

chances of earning scholarships.

$ Don’t pay for scholarship searches!

Use free search sites including Scholar-

shipQuest at www.educationquest.org that

lists over 1,600 state and local awards. Check out free

national sites such as FastWeb, SRN Express and

FastAid. Scholarship resources are also available at

your local library and at the EducationQuest offices in

Kearney, Lincoln and Omaha.

$ Visit your high school counselor weekly for infor-

mation about local scholarships.

$ Get organized. Place scholarship applications in

deadline order and prioritize each award. Local and

college-specific scholarships deserve top priority be-

cause you’re more likely to earn them.

$ Continually update your activities, honors and

volunteer or paid jobs using the Activities Resume at

www.educationquest.org.

$ Earn the best possible ACT/SAT scores by taking

the exams in the spring of your junior year and again in

the fall of your senior year.

$ Use quality references such as a teacher, coach or

counselor. Encourage them to write specific examples

Regret City

I had not really planned on taking a trip this time of the year,

and yet I found myself packing rather hurriedly. This trip was

going to be unpleasant and I knew in advance that no real good

would come of it. This is my annual ―Guilt Trip‖.

I got tickets to fly there on ―WISH I HAD‖ airlines. It was an

extremely short flight. I got my ―baggage‖, which I could not

check. I chose to carry it myself all the way. It was loaded down

with a thousand memories of ―what might have been.‖ No one

greeted me as I entered the terminal to the Regret City Interna-

tional Airport. I say international because people from all over

the world come to this dismal town.

As I checked into the ―Last Resort‖ Hotel, I noticed that they

would be hosting the year’s most important event—the annual

―Pity Party‖. I wasn’t going to miss that great social occasion.

Many of the town’s leading citizens would be there.

First, there would be the ―Done‖ family; you know, ―Should

Have,‖ ―Would Have,‖ and ―Could Have‖. Then came the ―I

Had‖ Family. You probably know old ―Wish‖ and his clan. Of

course, the ―Opportunities‖ family: ―Missed and Lost‖, would be

present. The biggest family there would be the ―Yesterday’s‖.

There are far too many of them to count, but each one would

have a very sad story to share. Of course, ―Shattered Dreams‖

would surely make an appearance. ―It’s Their Fault‖ family

would regale us with stories (excuses) about how things had

failed in their life. Each story would be loudly applauded by the

―Don’t Blame Me‖ and ―I Couldn’t Help It‖ Committees.

To make a long story short, I went to this depressing party,

knowing full well there would be no real benefit in doing so.

And, as usual, I became very depressed. But as I thought about

all of the stories of failures brought back from the past, it oc-

curred to me that this trip and subsequent ―pity parties‖ COULD

be cancelled by ME!

I started to realize that I did not have to be there. And I didn’t

have to be depressed. One thing kept going through my mind, I

CAN’T CHANGE YESTERDAY, BUT I DO HAVE THE POWER

TO MAKE TODAY A WONDERFUL DAY. I can be happy, joy-

ous, fulfilled, encouraged, as well as being encouraging.

Knowing this, I left Regret City immediately, and didn’t leave a

forwarding address. Am I sorry for mistakes I have made in the

past? YES! But there is no way to undo them.

So, if you’re planning a trip back to Regret City, please cancel all

those reservations now. Instead, take a trip to a nice place

called: ―Starting Again‖ . I like it so much that I made it my

permanent residence. My neighbors, the ―Been Forgiven‖ and

the ―We’re Saved‖ are so very helpful. By the way, you don’t

have to carry around the heavy baggage anymore either. That

load is lifted from your shoulders upon arrival. But don’t take

my word for it, find out for yourself.

October 2011 The Wolverine

Junior High Wrestling practice will begin Monday, October 17th

after school in the high school wrestling area. All 7th and 8th

grade boys are encouraged to participate in the sport. Practice

time will be from 3:45 until 5:30 p.m. with arrangements for rides

home following practice. Physicals are a must and participation

will need a physical on file. Equipment will be a t-shirt, shorts,

proper undergarment, socks, wrestling or gym shoes and a

towel. There will be an organizational meeting, Thursday, Octo-

ber 13th in the art room after school.

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by

dogma-which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of

others’ opinions drown out your inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to

follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to be-

come. Everything else is secondary.

FBLA will be starting our fall community service pro-

ject in October. This year the members decided to collect donations for the

Saline County Eldercare and food pantry. We are going to have a class

competition as to which class can bring the most items to donate. The ele-

mentary classes are also asked to participate if they want. With the com-

bined efforts of many classrooms, we are hoping to get many donations and

fill the pantry for the holidays and winter season.

Ancient Egypt was inhabited by mummies and they all wrote in Hydraulics. They lived in the Sarah Dessert and travelled by Came-

lot. The climate of the Sarah is such that the inhabitants have to live elsewhere.

The Greeks were a highly sculptured people, and without them we wouldn’t have history. The Greeks also had Myths. A Myth is a

female moth.

Socrates was a famous Greek teacher who went around giving people advice. They wanted to kill him. Socrates died from an over-

dose of wedlock. After his death his career suffered a dramatic decline.

Eventually the Romans conquered the Greeks. History calls people Romans because they never stayed in one place for long.

Beethoven wrote music even though he was deaf. He was so deaf he wrote loud music. He took long walks in the forest even when

What you think upon….grows! You’ll at-

tract more of what you focus

upon...positive or negative. It’s your

choice. Focus on what you have and

what’s right, not on what you don’t have

and what’s wrong..And say thank you

for what you have as often as possi-

ble...it will change your life!
