and garbage ridden world versus the ideal, clean, and beautiful earth. Students engaged in a variety of activities including poster making, weekly recycling projects, and classroom discussions. In addition, the Burkett Parent Teacher Association Earth Week Chairperson, Jen Jones, met with each classroom and gave a demonstration showing the importance of recycling and the items that can be recycled. Suong was surprised to learn that the amount of garbage thrown away in the United States in one year would easily reach the moon. Lauren was amazed to learn that it takes hundreds of years or more for certain items to break down in landfills. Jade agreed that it is very important for children to learn about how to conserve and save the Earth from pollution. 1HZ3ULQFLSDOV 0U0LFKDHO0DUYLQ has been named the new principal of Ingram Elementary School.

Sometimes we look back at our yearbooks and they take us back to the days that were termed by our elders as the “best times of our lives.” In the past few years, and most recently in the past few months, Montour High School has been undergoing a serious transformation both physically and culturally with the upcoming opening of the renovated high school and the influx of 21st century technologies into the district. Yet one thing has remained the same, the memories that are made here are ones that will be remembered forever. Three years ago while cleaning out a few boxes at the high school, I found a few old VHS tapes collecting dust, but before throwing them into the trash, I looked at them and realized these were not just dusty old tapes. These were cherished memories. The labels read 1986, 1994, 1990, 1998 Montour Video Yearbook. I found a VCR and began to look at times gone by, people that I had personally known, and others that I had never met -- all part of Montour history. In my classes I showed my students the tapes and had them reflect. Students noticed homecoming weeks with student-made floats, football games with a student Spartan riding a real horse. Some saw their parents or relatives; some noticed pep assemblies that featured class rivalry. All of them saw the pride and what it truly means to be a Montour Spartan. After watching the tapes I knew that the Montour Video Yearbook needed to be brought back. I immediately got together a proposal and, with the help and support of Mr. Todd Price, the high school principal, and the Montour School Board, the video yearbook was back. The first new version of the video yearbook came out in the summer of 2009 for the class of 2009. Students and parents helped with the taping of sporting events, they lent pictures and videos. With their support, and the support of the administration, the video yearbook became an instant success and time capsule for the memories of each class. Videotaping the sporting events and activities in the district and having a camera ready to roll for each pep assembly, then hours on end at games and graduation, the video yearbook was not only a challenge, but became a labor of love for all of those involved. Last year’s video yearbook totaled over 100 hours of raw footage, an endless number of hours for filming, getting to events in all types of weather, several camera batteries and tapes, and many weeks of editing to get down to two hours of finished video. The Video Yearbook now is run by the Montour Academic Games team and is headed up by teacher Michael Phillips, seniors Julia Havko and Ashley Ball, and several other students. The yearbook serves as a fundraiser for the organization and each year donates part of the proceeds to the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in honor of Montour teacher Christina Frank. The video yearbook is a long way from those dusty VHS tapes and is being produced on DVD now, but the mission of capturing memories has not changed. The Montour Video Yearbook is currently working on this year’s edition and would like your help. If your son or daughter is part of the class of 2011 and you have video footage of elementary and middle school functions and activities and would be willing to let us borrow the footage for inclusion in our “Remember When” section of the video yearbook, please contact Mr. Phillips at phillipsm@mail.montourschools.com. In addition, we are also looking to create and complete a collection of all of the Video Yearbooks that have been produced throughout the years. We currently have 1986, 1994, 1996, 1997, 1999, 2009, and 2010. If you have a copy of any of the years not mentioned above, please contact Mr. Phillips at phillipsm@mail.montourschools.com. We will return all original copies of footage unless otherwise requested. 127(7KHUHDUHVWLOODIHZFRSLHVRIWKH DQG9LGHR<HDUERRNVDYDLODEOH IRUVDOH7KHUHDUHDOVRFRSLHVRIWKH &ODVVRIJUDGXDWLRQDYDLODEOH &RQWDFW0U3KLOOLSVIRUPRUHLQIRUPDWLRQ 7KH+LJK6FKRRO6HQLRU)DUHZHOO&RQFHUWVZLOOEHKHOGLQ0D\7KHLQVWUXPHQWDO +LJK6FKRRO FRQFHUWZLWKWKH&RQFHUW%DQG-D]]%DQGDQG3HUFXVVLRQ(QVHPEOHZLOOEHKHOGRQ )DUHZHOO&RQFHUWV 7XHVGD\0D\7KHYRFDOFRQFHUWZLOOEHKHOGRQ:HGQHVGD\0D\%RWK FRQFHUWVEHJLQDWSPLQWKH'DYLG(:LOOLDPV0LGGOH6FKRRO$XGLWRULXP +LJK6FKRRO%XVLQHVV6WXGHQWV 3DUWLFLSDWHLQ1DWLRQDO&KDOOHQJH Recently, 13 Montour High School students from Mr. Nate Galiyas’s business classes participated in Deloitte’s Virtual Team Challenge, a business simulation and employer branding program designed to introduce high school students to core business skills including teamwork, professionalism, business sense, and responsibility. This innovative program gives high school students a hands-on introduction to today’s business world. Through a business-oriented video game simulation, they are able to develop and apply theoretical learning skills into practical ones. The game itself takes place in “New City,” a 3-D world that challenges students to design avatars, collaborate in teams, and apply business skills to clean up the oil spill and win the challenge. This year’s version of the challenge attracted more than 1,400 students from high schools across the country. One group of students from Montour had a very noteworthy performance. The team, consisting of junior Roy Cross, sophomore Sadie Davis, and freshman Anastasia Paulson-Aponte, finished 17th out of 400 teams. They collectively staged one of the most efficient disaster recovery efforts by selecting the most effective vendors based on research conducted in-game, and hiring them at the best possible price. Congratulations to Roy, Sadie, and Anastasia for finishing in the top 5% in the country! :($5(),7 Nearly 20 student athletes from Montour High School and The Early Learning Institute (TELI) teamed up for the “We Are Fit” program on April 6 at TELI’s Ohio Valley Learning Center. The student athletes created physical fitness stations for the children aged two to five to enjoy while learning more about cardiovascular health, agility, nutrition, and flexibility. The lessons about eating well and living a healthy lifestyle were reinforced through curriculum in the classroom. TELI parents were encouraged to get involved and work with their children to stay healthy. Barbara Pergar, Center Coordinator at The Ohio Valley Learning Center, spoke of the importance of community projects such as this saying, “The children are used to us and their parents teaching them things, but to see it from a high school student’s perspective is just great.” Lou Cerro, head of district facilities and events and head football coach for Montour High School, also believes that his student athletes will benefit from the experience. “We try to branch our kids out to do as many things as possible to help out the community in the Montour School District and surrounding areas, so it’s a good experience for their growth into adulthood.” Over 30 children enjoyed the day’s activities including playing catch, stretching, running, and even tasting healthy foods while learning about the food pyramid. Student football player Tyler Haddock said it best. “It is very important because you don’t want kids just sitting around playing video games. It’s always good to keep these kids in shape for the future, because they are the future.” 0,''/(6&+22/ 92//(<%$// 7($068&&(66 $%29(2Q6DWXUGD\0DUFK0RQWRXU¶VHLJKWKJUDGHJLUOV¶YROOH\EDOOWHDPWUDYHOHGWR3LQH5LFKODQG0LGGOH6FKRROWR SDUWLFLSDWHLQWKHDQQXDOYROOH\EDOOWRXUQDPHQW0DQ\RIWKHWHQWHDPVLQWKHWRXUQDPHQWZHUH$$$$VFKRROVLQFOXGLQJ 3LQH5LFKODQG1RUWK$OOHJKHQ\0DUVDQG%XWOHUWRQDPHDIHZ7KH0RQWRXUWHDPFRPSRVHGRIHLJKWKJUDGHUVDQG WKUHHVHYHQWK JUDGHUV KDG D YHU\ VXFFHVVIXO GD\ DV WKH\ ZHQW XQGHIHDWHG LQ SRRO SOD\ WR TXDOLI\ IRU WKH WRS VHHG LQ WKHJROG EUDFNHW ,Q WKH SOD\RIIV0RQWRXU GHIHDWHG 0DUV DQG 1RUWK $OOHJKHQ\WR ZL QWK HWR XUQDPHQWZK LFKZ DVD IL UVW IRUWKHSURJUDP&RQJUDWXODWLRQVWRWKHJLUOVIRUZLQQLQJWKHLUILUVWWRXUQDPHQW 0D\ZZZDOOHJKHQ\ZHVWPDJD]LQHFRP Touring a building under construction is an interesting journey. However, adding a group of engineering students to the mix during a recent tour of the Montour High School renovation project brought classroom learning to a new level of awareness and understanding. In April, Stephen Connell, of Apostolou Associates, the architectural firm that designed the renovations, took the students from the high school Civil Engineering class on a tour to see how the blueprints they have been studying in class from the high school construction project are coming to fruition in an actual setting. Stephen gave an entire set of the building plans to teacher Jesse Langman so the students could study them and learn about the components in a building construction project. Through Project Lead, Jesse has engaged the engineering class in a mock renovation of a library project. “The students had to look up building codes for components, from the utilities and plumbing to electrical,” he explained. “This brought home the idea to schedule a tour of the high school renovation project so the students could see the scope of the project at this point,” Jesse added. The tour encompassed the entire complex, and revealed a work in progress that will include a fully Wi-Fi enabled campus. The students saw “behind-the-scenes” components such as cabling, electrical, and plumbing. They saw cut-outs in the hallway walls where recessed display cases will be housed. They saw the progress of the science labs, the art rooms, and the library. Stephen showed the students how parts of the plumbing system were constructed offsite, then brought to the school for installation. $OOHJKHQ\:HVW0DJD]LQH0D\ “It’s easier to build the components in the shop, where they have all the tools and fittings, rather than try to do it onsite,” he explained. The bathrooms will also have on-demand lighting, one of many energy savings within the building. Senior Chris DeMatty said, “It’s incredible. This will be so nice; what an improvement, and how quickly it is going up.” Nick Maslakowski, also a senior, concurred. “This is way better than we were told.” Along the hallways, framework was being constructed for each department’s signage to be displayed as students move from one part of the building to another. The tour included a peek inside the intermediate gym, which will provide seating for 660 on new bleachers, as well as a batting cage. The current main gym will be renovated at a later date. The new weight room was also shown. Jason Burik, assistant superintendent, said that $100,000 in new equipment has been ordered for the room. One of the most dramatic changes on the campus will be the connection of the two buildings into one. Enclosed corridors will connect the buildings, as will a front entrance lobby area that will now serve as the main school entrance. School buses will drive up the current driveway, then continue around a circular driveway to the main canopy, where students will get on and off the buses and enter the building. Other new additions will be a Spartan Shop where students can purchase supplies and Montour apparel, a stand-alone art gallery featuring artwork by Montour students that will be purchased with 6725<$1'3+2726 %<3$7-(11(77( funds allotted by the school board, a new multi-use backstage area and band storage room in the former boiler room, and new science labs that will incorporate a greenhouse for learning botany. The greenhouse is being constructed alongside the former entrance to the grades 9-10 building. “Dr. Donald Boyer, school district superintendent, had a lot of ideas that he brought to this project to make it cutting edge, such as a coffee shop in the new library and a student art gallery,” explained Jason Burik. Technology will be key in the new high school. Besides campus-wide WiFi, students will have access to netbooks, iPads, and Nooks. In the library, Jason explained that that there will be more eBooks than regular books. Throughout the building, 12 video panels will announce such things as events, schedules, news feeds and, in the cafeteria, the menus. Said Beau Castelucci, a junior on the tour, “In the old learning environment it was hard to learn before; with this new technology and the new school, it will definitely be a lot better.” Added student Harry Colberg, “The technology in the new building will be so nice; we will have a lot more options to use rather than use paper.” The district plans to have the school ready for students when classes resume in the fall, followed by a dedication of the building in October. 723/()77 25,*+7+LJKVFKRROVWXGHQW VLQWKHHQJLQHHULQJFODVVOLVWHQDV
