C-A High School Counselor’s Corner
Your Child’s Educational Development Plan (EDP)
Beginning in eighth grade, the EDP program, a career initiative offered through the GISD, allows students
to plan their high school classes according to the career pathway in which they have an interest. Each pathway
includes:
• Examples of specific careers
• Personal characteristics related to success
• Fast-growing occupations
• Relevant courses in school
• Levels of education required for careers
The information taught in each career pathway helps students see how school subjects relate to training beyond high school and the world of work. It also helps students examine their interests, abilities, and goals, and
how these relate to their chosen career goals. By having this information available to them, students can then
select courses that not only prepare them for high school graduation, but for additional education, training, and
employment beyond high school. Also, because it is web-based, students and parents can access the EDP from
any computer with Internet access.
Class Lessons
The high school counselors present grade appropriate lessons throughout each school year. To date they have
visited the senior English classrooms focusing on graduation requirements and post high school plans. During
the month of November, all ninth and tenth grade English classes received lessons on continuing development
of their EDP and making the best of all the opportunities available to them at Carman-Ainsworth. Eleventh
graders will have their lesson in the middle of January. In addition to class lessons, students are encouraged to
meet with their counselor for assistance in any area of need.
Seniors
Carman-Ainsworth will host their annual financial aid meeting for seniors and their parents. This will be held
on January 19th, 2011 at 6:00 p.m., in the media center. Be sure to put this important date on your calendar.
Parents of college bound seniors will want to reserve Sunday, February 13, 2011 to attend College Bowl Sunday. College Bowl Sunday will provide students and parents with an opportunity to receive free assistance with
completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Financial aid professionals will be available
to meet individually with families to help file your online FAFSA. The event is from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at
The University of Michigan-Flint in the Murchie Science Building, in the first floor computer labs. Students and
parents are welcome to stop by anytime within that two hour window. For more information, visit their website
at www.micollegegoal.org/.
Senior Student Check List:
1. All college applications should be submitted online or through the guidance office.
2. Request that college transcripts be sent through Docufide.
3. ACT tests should have been taken at least once.
4. Reserve January 19th, 6:00 p.m. for C/A financial aid meeting.
5. Reserve February 13th, 2:00 p.m. on your calendar for FAFSA workshop.
6. Do a Day-on-The-Job, if applicable.
7. Continue to search for scholarships.
8. Career and college search through your EDP or in the career center.
Our college, military and technical school visitations are wrapping up for the fall. We continue to encourage
students, and their families, to make campus visits. It’s best to call the college first to make an appointment.
The Carman-Ainsworth Career Center maintains an up-to-date list of scholarship announcements for interested
seniors. The Career Center Specialist, Mrs. Kruse, or any counselor can assist students in investigating scholarship aid sources.
Scholarships
All senior students who will be attending community or four year colleges, or trade schools should begin filling
out scholarship applications as soon as they have the college/trade school applications completed and sent in.
Scholarship information is available at the CAHS website www.carman.k12.mi.us/carmanhs under the Career
& Guidance Office tab. Students can also pick up a paper copy of scholarships available in the Career Center. For questions, students should see Mrs. Kruse or their counselor.
Avoid Scholarship Scams
Each year, students pay for services that guarantee a scholarship. When the service fails to deliver, the students
lose their money. We recommend visiting your students EDP website for scholarships.
To protect you, the Federal Trade Commission has listed six warning signs. If a scholarship service tells you
any of the following, do not do business with them.
Six Warning Signs
1. This scholarship is guaranteed or your money back.
2. You can’t get this information anywhere else.
3. May I have your credit card or bank account number to hold this scholarship?
4. We’ll do all the work.
5. The scholarship will cost you some money.
6. “You’ve been selected by a ‘national foundation’ to receive a scholarship,” or “you’re a finalist in a contest you’ve never entered.”
Genesee Area Skill Center Information
Following winter break, students will begin to hear about the Genesee Area Skill Center and its programs.
The Skill Center will visit the high school to explain the various course offerings during the month of January.
They will host an open house on February 24, 2011 from 5-8:00 p.m. The entire community is welcome to attend
and tour the facility. Applications for sophomores and juniors to attend the Skill Center will be available in the
Counseling and Career Center at the end of January.

Dye Gets Carnival Crazy for Backpacks
During the Open House here at Dye the
Flint First Church of the Nazarene and Trinity United Presbyterian hosted a wonderful
outdoor carnival. The students and parents
had the opportunity to come and meet the
teachers and play carnival games! At each
different station the kids played different
games to win school supplies for the backpacks. Each student in the school was able
to receive the backpack and grade appropriate supplies even if they were unable to
attend the Open House. Thank you to our
wonderful friends at Flint First Church of
the Nazarene and Trinity United Presbyterian Church and to our great Tutor staff at
Dye for taking time to pass out the school
supplies to the students that were not able
to attend the Open House.
Randels’ Top
Fundraiser
A kindergarten student was the top seller
in the Randels fall fundraiser. He sold the
most items and won $100 for his hard work.
The students helped raise $4200 for the
school which will go toward school-wide
assemblies, RIF, field trips and much more.
Thank you to all of the participants for
supporting your
school!
COURIER, DECEMBER 2010/JANUARY 2011 — 5
Men at W.O.R.K.
(Working On Relationships with Kids)
WinterFest is December 11th at the Carman-Ainsworth
High School from 4pm to 7pm. Admission is through the
donation of non-perishable food items, gently worn coats,
unwrapped toys or monetary donation. All donations will
be dispersed by Men at W.O.R.K. to the Salvation Army,
Toys for Tots, Old Newsboys and Food Bank of Eastern
Michigan.
The goal for this event is to help agencies in our community who assist families in need during the holiday season.
The other purpose of this event is to highlight the great talent of the student body at Carman-Ainsworth Schools. Last
year was full of amazing performances and you do not want
to miss it this year!
This is a great event that truly has holiday spirit. It is a
difficult event to put on. We would appreciate any help you
could give whether helping to set up on Friday and Saturday night before the event. See the Winter Fest flyer in this
month’s issue for more information.
Men at W.O.R.K. hosted a movie night at Dillon this past
October 13th. Families had a great time together watching a
family movie with popcorn. If your school is interested in a
movie night, make sure to contact Men at W.O.R.K.
The December meeting for Men at W.O.R.K. will be held
at the Learning Community on December 14th at 5pm. Planning for the TV 12 No Stars Game will be on the agenda.
Men at W.O.R.K. will be hosting a parenting series for
fathers beginning in January (dates and times are to be
announced) Please call Mike at 591-7232 or Rod at 5917272.
The Office of Health and Human Services posted some
information on their website about parenting. Below is
an excerpt about fathers and discipline. Please visit http://
eclkc.ohs.acf.hhs.gov for more information.
From the Office of Health and Human Services:
Discipline is better understood as guidance and teaching,
not controlling and punishing. Over time, children will learn
how to control themselves, but until they can, adults need to
help them by setting appropriate limits and modeling correct behavior. Discipline is an all day – every day teaching
and learning process. These points will help parents as they
continue to guide their young children.
• Values are principles and standards that guide our
behavior.
• The values that individual family members hold dear
vary considerably.
• Parents want their children to accept their values.
• The words “discipline” and “disciple” come from the
Latin word “discipulus” which means pupil or student –
one who learns.
• Babies need to be loved, nurtured, and accepted as they
are. Nothing they do can be called misbehavior.
• Toddlers need adults to make rules that keep them and
others safe and protect the family’s belongings. They
need help in keeping these rules and controlling their
behavior.
•
•
•
Preschoolers still need help in regulating their behavior.
They are ready for more explanations about why they
must do some things and cannot do others.
The more time you spend in positive interaction with
your children, the more likely it is that they will accept
your values and want to please you.
The combination of positive time together and discipline
usually works better than discipline alone.

ITV Connects Rankin and Randels
Mr. Anderson’s fourth grade class (at Rankin Elementary) and Mr. Coombe’s fourth grade
class (at Randels Elementary) came together to sing an original song about magnets using
the ITV system. The two classes have stayed in touch since the beginning of the year as pen
pals. They were able to meet and introduce themselves to their pen pal at the beginning of
the year. However, on 10/8/2010 they came together to create a music video titled “Magnets
are Cool.” The music video was quickly followed by an awesome demonstration of what
the lines of force look like on a neodymium iron boron magnet. Students were captivated
from both schools. This is one of many amazing things that have been done with our new
ITV program.

Spirit Week at Randels
The students and staff at Randels supported the Cavaliers during homecoming week, October 4th thru
8th, by participating in Sport Team Day, Dress Up Day, Crazy Hair Day, Twin Day and, of course, Show
Your C-A Colors Day. It was a fun week topped off by a Cavalier win!
Spirit Week at Woodland

The Art Lesson
Mrs. Dooley and Mrs. Duvendeck’s first graders are taking part in the ArtReach program
through the Flint Institute of Arts. They will have 3 art lessons in their classroom and then
they will travel to the FIA for the culminating art activity.
This fall Jason, the ArtReach program instructor, came to our classrooms to talk about the
changing seasons. He read a book first and then had the students look closely at leaves. He
showed them how to draw the veins first and then make the connecting lines. After drawing
the leaves the children traced the veins with black crayon and outlined it in red crayon. With
a Q-tip dipped in water the children blended the colors to make beautiful fall leaves. We
ended the project by writing a poem.
They are looking forward to our next visit from Jason in February. He will continue the
theme of changing seasons and nature.
Dye’s Mr. Rogers “Say No” Program

Pumpkin “Pi” at Randels
Fourth grade students at Randels did math with pumpkins
on October 28th. Before turning them into jack-o-lanterns
they estimated the diameter, weight and how many seeds
might be lurking in the goo inside. They wrote down their
guesses and then weighed, gutted and counted to see how
close their estimates were. What a fun way to learn!
Mrs. Robins fifth grade class at Randels took an afternoon
to relax and paint pumpkins after two long weeks of MEAP
testing. It was also a great way to get ready for Halloween.
YouthQuest at Dye
The YouthQuest after school program is off and running!
Approximately 100 Dye Elementary students meet every
Monday through Thursday. The students are enjoying a healthy
dinner, homework assistance and lots of fun activities. YouthQuest
students will have the opportunity through the year to enjoy
wonderful educational field trips. The Montrose Apple Orchard
was the first trip the students were able to take. Everyone had a
great time enjoying the pumpkin patch, hayride, fresh cider and
donuts. The students also had a chance to learn about career
opportunities during this event.
It’s Popcorn Friday
at Randels
On October 15th. Mrs. Goodman’s first grade
parents and grandparents, including School
Board member Gloria
Nealy, volunteered to
pop and sell popcorn
to raise money for
the classroom. We
love our volunteers at
Randels!
Ms. Cales’ Woodland Kindergarten
class enjoyed a
hayride at Spicer’s
Orchard.

Trick-or-Treat
at Randels
The ghosts and goblins were out at Randels on October
29th in celebration of Halloween. The students and staff
dressed in costume and paraded outside the school for all
to see. They then came in to enjoy classroom parties. There
were many treats and only a few tricks!
Mrs. Dooley’s first grade class at Woodland Elementary
celebrated Halloween. Cody Wirebaugh, Isaac Dixon and
Jacob Matthews made a great team for the mummy race!
Students compete in an eye ball race at Halloween in the
Halls at Woodland Elementary on Friday, October 29th.

Dillon’s 20th Annual Halloween Hike was hosted by Parent
Club. A special “Thank You” to
all parents who helped make this
a success.
Literature to Life
On Monday, October 25, The Whiting Auditorium and Literature to Life brought The
Things They Carried to the stage at Carman-Ainsworth High School. Billy Lyons, a New
York performer, brought Tim O’Brien’s novel to life in the form of a one-person play. He
acted numerous character roles with dialogue taken right from the text, and brought emotion
and imagery to the Accelerated and Advanced high school students who had read the novel
for their summer reading assignment.
Additionally, Literature to Life followed up
the next day in Carrie
Mattern’s room with a
lesson directed to her first
and third hour Accelerated English classes. The
lesson was completely
interactive and focused
on decision making. All
students involved were
able to use their hearts,
minds, and bodies to
learn about how they
make choices, and how
what we carry inside of
ourselves, ultimately effects our daily decision
making process. The
lesson culminated with
a connection to the decisions that CAHS students
make, Hamlet, and also
Tim O’Brien’s novel,
The Things They Carried. The experience was
rewarding, valuable to
all involved, and memorable. Thank you to Mrs.
Suzanne Bobalik, Christie Watkins, Billy Lyons,
and Manuel Simons for
making this opportunity
possible.
Dem Bones, Dem Bones,
Dem Randels’ Bones...
Mrs. Miceli’s kindergarten class made
skeletons to decorate
the halls of Randels
for Halloween by
recycling toilet paper and paper towel
rolls. “The leg bone’s
connected to the foot
bone. The foot bone’s
connected to the toe
bone...dem bones,
dem bones...”
Our Teeth Are Clean
at Dye
The students at Dye were able to have a full dental screening this year. The Mobile Dentist came in to visit Dye. Each student
received a new tooth brush and the students that were able to visit the
dentist were able to have x rays, a cleaning, fluoride and sealants done.
We would like to thank Mobile Dentist for coming in this year. We can’t
wait to see you in the spring.
Dye’s Book Fair 2010
It’s Book Fair time at Dye again. The week of November 8th through the 12th Dye’s Media
Center was privileged to open its doors and celebrate the opportunity to have students and
parents come in an experience our wonderful world of books. With the help of many parent
volunteers our students filled the Media Center to explore a wide variety of new books to
choose from. The Book
Fair hopes to top the
amount we made last
year to continue to purchase and expand our
growing Media Center.
We would like to thank
everyone who helped
make Book Fair a wonderful experience for
everyone!
Monster Match Mania
Mrs. Vicari’s class at Rankin connected with a class from Flushing via ITV. Students
learned the importance of adding detail to writing as they recreated one another’s original
monsters based on description alone. The classes compared and contrasted the monsters
while celebrating teamwork and technology!

AQUATIC (SWIM) CONDITIONING/EXERCISE CLASS
SCHEDULE
WINTER 2011
Starting January 24 • 8 WEEKS
Conditioning with Games in Deep Water
45 Min. Ages 7-12 Join us for a fun workout in the deep end of the pool. We will play
various games that disguise a strength and
cardio workout. Participants must be comfortable and proficient at keeping their head
above water of 12 foot depth during strenuous activity. No flotation devices will be
permitted.
Liquid Toning in Shallow Water 45 Min.
Get ready, get set, get wet! Individuals of
all different ability levels can benefit from
this class that includes low-impact exercises. This class is designed to increase the
cardiovascular capacity while including resistance exercises that will increase muscle
tone and flexibility. Participants will rotate
through stations on a times basis. Participants challenge each station at their personal intensity level.
Circuit Training in Deep Water 45 Min.
Get ready, get set, get wet! Individuals of
all different ability levels can benefit from
this class that includes low-impact exercises. This class is designed to increase the
cardiovascular capacity while including resistance exercises that will increase muscle
tone and flexibility. Participants will rotate
through stations on a timed basis. Participants challenge each station at their personal intensity level. While equipment that
provides some buoyancy will be used, participants must be comfortable in water of
12 foot depth.
Interval Training in Shallow Water 45
Min. Interval Training uses the body’s
aerobic and anaerobic systems in the same
workout, resulting in higher calorie loss,
and increase in oxygen delivery, stronger
heart muscle and ultimately, a body that operates more efficiently. Throughout the session we will work in two alternating modes:
“bursts” and “recovery.”

Conditioning in Deep Water 45 Min.
Deep water exercise techniques harness
360 degree resistance. Lack of contact
with the ground makes deep water exercise challenging. Gravity is exchanged for
buoyancy and resistance to create work and
rest as opposed to using gravity. The ability
to manipulate (control) buoyancy and harness (use) water resistance to increase and/
or decrease exercise intensity is a learned
skill. If you’re looking for a new kind of
workout you’ve found it in the Deep Water
Conditioning class. While equipment that
provides some buoyancy will be used, participants must be comfortable in water of
12 foot depth.
Conditioning for the Tri-Athlete in Deep
Water 45 Min. Deep water exercise techniques harness 360 degree resistance. Lack
of contact with the ground makes deep
water exercise challenging. Gravity is exchanged for buoyancy. We will focus on
exercises to aid the Tri-Athlete in training
and competition. This class will also help to
increase the Tri-Athlete’s comfort level in
the aquatic environment. While equipment
that provides some buoyancy will be used,
participants must be comfortable in water
of 12 foot depth.

AQUATIC (SWIM) LESSON SCHEDULE
WINTER 2011
8 WEEKS
GUPPY Parent & Child 1 • Ages 6 months
to 3 years • PAC 1 Parent and Child 1 introduces basic skills to parents and children.
Parents are taught to safely work their child
in the water, including how to appropriately
support and hold their child in the water and
how to prepare and encourage their child
to participate fully and try the skills. Children are introduced to basic skills that lay a
foundation to help them learn to swim. Several water safety topics are also introduced
to parents. Parent(s) must accompany child
in the water. Swimsuit diapers required.
TADPOLE Parent & Child 2 • Ages 6
months to 3 years • PAC 2 Parent and Child
2 builds on the skills introduce in PAC 1.
Participants improve on PAC 1 skills and
learn more advanced skills in the categories
of water entry and exit, becoming comfortable in the water, breath control, floating
on front and back, changing direction and
arm and leg actions. Parents mush accompany child in the water. Swim suit diapers
required.
SEA HORSE Preschool 1 • Ages 3-5 years
Preschool 1 is the foundation for building
aquatic skills. PS I is designed to build confidence in the water by developing good attitudes and safe practices around the water.
Students are introduced to basic swimming
skills with assistance from an instructor.
The skills are: water exploration through
bubble blowing and getting face wet, jumping in from side of pool, front and back
floats and glides, and combining reach and
pull arms with straight leg kicks.
STARFISH Preschool 2 • Ages 3-5 years
Preschool 2 builds on the basic aquatic
skills learned in PS 1 and gives children
further success with fundamental aquatic
skills. Skills are performed to a slightly
more advanced degree than in PS 1. While
most skills are performed with assistance
from the instructor, this level marks the beginning of independent aquatic locomotion
skills. Students continue to explore using
simultaneous and alternating arm and leg
actions on the front and back to gain more
proficiency for future strokes. PS 2 also
adds to the self-help and basic rescue skills
introduced in PS 1.
CLOWNFISH Preschool 3 • Ages 3-4 Preschool 3 builds on the skills learned in PS
1 & 2 by providing additional guided practice of basic aquatic skills at slightly more
proficient performance levels and greater
distances and times. Skills in this level are
performed independently. Students will improve coordination of combined simultaneous arm and leg actions and alternating arm
and leg actions. Additional safety skills will
be presented. Students will improve their
comprehension of previous knowledge.
PIRANHA Level 1 • Introduction to water skills Ages 5 + Students learn basic
information and skills to help them feel
comfortable in the wear and enjoy water
safely. Elementary aquatic skills such as
rhythmic breathing, buoyancy, changing direction and position and treading water are
explored. Students begin learning alternating and simultaneous arm and leg actions.
Piranha is for student who are new to swim
lessons and/or not totally at ease in water
without a parent.
BARRACUDA Level 1 • Introduction to
water skills Ages 5+ Students learn basic
information and skills to help them feel
comfortable in the water and enjoy the water safely. Elementary aquatic skills such as
rhythmic breathing, buoyancy, changing direction and position and treading water are
explored. Students begin learning alternating and simultaneous arm and leg actions.
Barracuda is for students who have participated in swim lessons and/or are very comfortable in the water without a parent.
TIGER SHARK Level 2 • Fundamental
Aquatic skills Ages 5 + Students will experience increased success with the fundamental skills. Students learn to float without
support and to recover to a vertical position.
This level marks the beginning of true locomotion skills. Further development of simultaneous and alternating arm and leg actions on the front and back are developed in
preparation for learning additional strokes.
STINGRAY Level 3 • Stroke Development
Students will receive additional guided
practice of previously learned skills as well
as learning new skills such as the survival
float, front crawl, and elementary backstroke. The scissors and dolphin kicks will
be introduced. Rules for headfirst entries
will be learned and headfirst entries will be
introduced.
DOLPHIN Level 4 • Stroke Improvement Students will develop confidence in
the strokes learned at previous levels and
improve other aquatic skills. Students will
improve skill and endurance by swimming
greater distances using the front crawl and
elementary backstroke. Components will
be added to the scissors kick to complete
the sidestroke. Students will begin learning
the back crawl, breaststroke and butterfly as
well as the basics for turning at a wall.
SEA LION Level 5 • Stroke Refinement
Students refine their performance in all of
the swimming strokes (front crawl, back
crawl, butterfly, breaststroke, elementary
backstroke and sidestroke) as well as increase their distances. Flip turns on the
front and back are also introduced.

Congratulations to the Blue Brigade Competitive Marching Band for marching their way into the Michigan Competitive Band Association’s State Finals at Ford Field!
The State Finals Experience
by Ladierdre McKinney, Senior Drum Major
Being a member of the Blue Brigade for the past five
years, I’ve had the opportunity to see its progress first hand.
Each year we have improved in all aspects. Looking back
on my 8th grade year I never thought I’d see the day I would
march at Ford Field. Qualifying for State Finals my senior
year left me speechless, knowing all our hard work had
finally paid off. When we first received the news that we
qualified for State Finals it was a joyous occasion. Everyone immediately forgot about their differences and bonded
with one another. In all my years, I’d never witnessed such
a strong bond that included everyone.
Not knowing what to expect on that Saturday afternoon
I marched with confidence to the front side line. As the announcer called out our names something came over me. It
was something I’d never felt before. There were thousands
of people cheering and this time they were actually cheering
for us. Seeing everyone watch us intently, we all knew this
was our time to earn our respect amongst the elite bands
in the state. Upon finishing our performance it was unbelievable. The crowd reaction was confirmation that they all
knew we deserved to be there as well.
This is an experience that we will never forget. The
amount of encouragement we received was incredible. It
was great to have people realize our enormous accomplishment. But none of this would have been possible without all
the support from our director, staff, and parents. I’m glad I
was able to be a part of such a wonderful program although
I’ll truly miss it. Good luck to the Blue Brigade next year; I
know you can do it again!
And, more excellent news from the marching front…
The Blue Brigade was awarded the Ruth Hughes Memorial Esprit de Corps award at the Huron Valley Invitational.
This award is not based at all upon the actual performance
on the field, but is an award chosen by the parent Booster
group who helps run the show. The award is based on the
Respect, Character, Integrity and Professionalism displayed
throughout the day by the students, parents and staff of each
band. Out of 21 other schools, Carman-Ainsworth was chosen for this award!!!!
So, on behalf of the Blue Brigade “Family”, I would like
to say congratulations and thank-you for instilling in our
young adults these tremendous traits and helping them to
realize the importance of CA ROCKS!!!!! I always tell the
band members “Someone is always watching and someone
is always listening” and they were!
Making music outside the school day…
There are many opportunities for your students to make
music with groups not affiliated with their school band.
Many students are taking lessons or participating in music
making at the Flint Institute of Music. Also, new to our area,
is the Fenton Community Orchestra. The orchestra meets in
Fenton on Saturday mornings from 10-12. All instruments
are welcome! If you would like more information, please
call me.
