Four Bloomingdale Teachers
Awarded Grant Funds
(L to R): Michelle Vorndran, Marsha
Coleman, Garry Visscher.
(L to R): Kurt Shantz/Midwest Energy Cooperative
lineman, Kim Stafford/teacher, Rick Reo/principal.
Recently, three Pullman Elementary teachers and one Bloomingdale MS/HS teacher were on
the receiving end of four generous grants awarded through various organizations.
Garry Visscher, PE/Title teacher at Pullman Elementary, was awarded a gift card in the amount
of $750 from Gopher P.E. Equipment. The United Dairy Industry of Michigan and Fuel Up
to Play 60 sponsored the gift card. Mr. Visscher was awarded his gift card after sharing the
successes he and Pullman Elementary have had with their Fuel Up to Play 60 initiative during
the 2013-14 school year. “I look forward to purchasing new physical education equipment for
our students,” said Mr. Visscher.
Marsha Coleman, 4th grade teacher at Pullman Elementary, received a $400 grant from
Mackinac Associates, an organization that supports Mackinaw area state parks. Ms. Coleman
has taken her 4th grade students on a Northern Michigan trip for the past 10 years to culminate
their Michigan studies. These funds will help Ms. Coleman decrease the travel costs for her
students attending the trip in June.
Michelle Vorndran, Title I teacher at Pullman Elementary, received a grant from Midwest Energy
in the amount of $1,200. Mrs. Vorndran has plans to purchase 6 new Google Chromebooks
with the funds. Mrs. Vorndran looks forward to the Chromebooks being put to use wherever
the greatest need exists within Pullman Elementary.
Kim Stafford, Special Education teacher at the MS/HS, received a $1,300 grant from Midwest
Energy. Mrs. Stafford will use the funds to take a group of 8th grade students to the Kalamazoo
Air Zoo. “To win this grant was a team effort. The 8th grade Advisory team was looking at
different ways to fund our Air Zoo field trip when Mrs. Forbes came across the Midwest Energy
Grant. I then proceeded to fill out the grant for the team. It was such an honor to receive this
grant and a relief that the students didn’t have to pay their own way. It is truly a blessing that
companies like Midwest Energy are willing to support our students!”

Bloomingdale’s Finest
If you participate in athletics at Bloomingdale
Middle & High School, then you know
the name “Doc”. If you have watched a
Bloomingdale athletic contest of any kind
in recent years, chances are you’ve seen
the fiery man working the benches and the
sidelines of our games, watching over and
tending to our players, providing services
for our coaches, our officials, and when
necessary, even for our fans. “Doc” Stevens,
an athletic trainer who retired after serving
Kellogg Community College and the Battle
Creek Public Schools for 32 years, has since
been tirelessly volunteering as Bloomingdale
Middle and High School’s athletic trainer
for the better part of seven years now, and is
showing no signs of slowing down.
Robert “Doc” Stevens grew up in Hastings,
Michigan, the youngest of three siblings in a
working class family of five. Born in Ottawa,
IL, during the summer of 1946, Doc and his
family moved to the Hastings area for his
father’s work at the EW BLISS plant when he
was 3. “Bobby” Stevens, as he was known by
the townsfolk, grew up enjoying the outdoors
as often as he was allowed. His father,
Donald Stevens, to whom he attributes his
incredible work ethic, made sure that chores
at home and work always came first. But
once done with his responsibilities, Doc and
his friends spent countless days and evenings
swimming and diving in nearby lakes,
playing games and pranks all over town, and
running everywhere they went. Doc’s father
got him involved in Boy Scouts at a young
age, and taught him the importance of giving
back and serving the community by growing
a large garden each year, and providing much
of the harvested food to families in their
neighborhood who were in need. Doc and
his siblings were all responsible for tending
to certain areas of the garden, and once
harvested, in delivering the food to those
families in need.
Doc learned from his father’s strong work
ethic, his demand for work before play, from
his integrity, his compassion, and from the
discipline he delivered when necessary. Doc
jokes that his father once told him there was
no question, he held the record for most
Sunday “lickings” over both his siblings.
Another major influence in Doc’s life was
his high school football coach, Jock Clarey
After a punting injury his freshman year left
Doc’s leg broken and displaced, Coach Clarey
put him in contact with Gale Robinson, an
athletic trainer at Michigan State University
Doc spent time with Robinson on a
rehabilitation visit to MSU, and came back
with a new direction and passion in life. Doc
now wanted to become an athletic trainer
Bloomingdale High School named Academic
State Champion
Bloomingdale Public School District had one of its own, Bloomingdale High School, announced as an Academic State Champion by Bridge Magazine on February 3. Only 69 school
districts in the state received this recognition.
To determine the winners, Bridge partnered with Public Sector Consultants, Inc. to develop a value-added ranking system which measures a school’s test scores adjusted for student
family income, which is often a predictor of academic achievement. Essentially, Bridge’s Academic State Champions are being recognized for over-achievement, rather than achievement
Bloomingdale High School was 7th amongst the top 10 over-achieving schools in the state.
“I’m extremely proud of the hard work of High School principal, Mr. Reo, and the students
and staff at Bloomingdale High School. I’m not surprised that Bloomingdale High School is
receiving this honor for a 2nd time! It’s also important to acknowledge that addressing student
achievement begins at an early age and this is a recognition we can all share in K-12”, exclaimed
Mrs. Paquette, Bloomingdale’s Superintendent.
“Bridge is pleased once again to honor over-achieving school districts with the Academic State
Champs award,” said John Bebow, president and CEO of The Center for Michigan, which publishes Bridge. “This year’s list of winners demonstrates that educators and students alike can
overcome hurdles and prepare the future generation of Michigan workers for success. Congratulations to all of this year’s winners!”

himself, but without his football coach’s
involvement and constant encouragement,
he may not have ever taken the steps
necessary to pursue his dream beyond high
school. His was a working class family, and
no one had gone on to college before him, so
there was a certain expectation that he would
follow in his father and brothers’ footsteps
to work one day in the factory. His football
coach told him differently, however. Coach
Clarey told him that he could do it if he
wanted to, and that he’d be great at it if he
did. That encouragement was ultimately the
difference. Bobby Stevens also got something
else from his teammates when he returned
on crutches that time from MSU. They gave
a nickname that would stick. Bobby was now
known as “Doc”.
After graduating from Hastings in 1964,
Doc attended Michigan State University,
and under the tutelage and watchful eye of
Gale Robinson, Doc completed his collegiate
coursework and a valuable internship with
the Dallas Cowboys to earn his degree
in Athletic Training and Recreation. He
graduated from MSU in 1968 and began
working as the athletic trainer for Kellogg
Community College and Battle Creek
Public Schools the following year. After 11
years in that capacity, KCC became its own
entity, but Doc continued working for Battle
Creek Public Schools until his retirement,
having put in 32 years of successful service.
Doc’s work and demand for excellence did
not go unnoticed, and his efforts in Battle
Creek earned him induction into the Battle
Creek Central Hall Of Fame, as well as the
Michigan High School Football Coaches’
Hall Of Fame.
Doc defines an athletic trainer as someone
who prevents, cares for, and rehabilitates
sports-related injuries, but he has taken the
position a great many steps further. Doc
states that it’s the relationships he is able to
build with the people he works for, and the
athletes he tends to that keep him motivated
to be involved. In addition to athletic
training, Doc has been involved in teaching
and facilitating leadership and team building
activities for groups of people ranging from
adolescent athletes to firemen and police
officers. He is largely based out of Warner
Camp near Bloomingdale, but has also taken
his training on the road, facilitating activities
and training sessions all over the state. Oh,
and he does it all free of charge!
Doc Stevens continues to volunteer dayin and day-out, providing our athletes and
community with a top-rate professional
service that we our truly blessed to receive.
He attributes his ability to continually
perform at such a high level to a healthy
exercise routine of running, swimming or
biking, coupled with a strict adherence to a
healthy diet, a strong moral foundation, and
his unbreakable faith.
We would like to take this opportunity to
thank Mr. “Doc” Stevens for not only the
incredible service he provides our school,
but for the inspiration and motivation
he provides the people lucky enough to
work alongside him, and for the incredible
example of excellence he demonstrates to
our kids and community on a daily basis.
Thank you, Doc.
The STEM Club welcomes high school
students to explore the inner workings
of science, technology, engineering, and
math with hands-on projects and activities (and snacks). Earlier this year,
students built hovercraft and puzzle
cubes and created their own silver-plated ornaments. Wooden cars powered
by compressed carbon dioxide gas are
nearing completion and will be raced in
the hallway in early February. Once the
snow melts, it’ll be time for model rockets and a field trip to the solar car race.
New this year: robotics! Two VEX Robotics kits will be purchased this spring,
thanks to donations from generous
community members and a matching
grant from the REC Foundation (REC =
Robotics Education and Competition).
These erector-set-style robots have a
dazzling variety of sensors, wheels and
treads, and gripping claws and can be
pre-programmed or controlled via remote. The yearly competitions involve
moving pieces such as balls or blocks
into “scoring areas”. As a condition of
the grant, two teams will soon be competing – one from the high school and
one from the middle school.
Join the STEM Club on Wednesdays
after school in Mr. Baker’s chemistry
classroom to join the fun and learn
something along the way. (And have
snacks.) Check the bulletin board near
the cafeteria for the schedule.

In late November, we got together
with some of our parents and decided it would be fun to have a
family game night. Last Wednesday, January 21st, we turned our
cafeteria into the ultimate family fun space. We had about fifteen board games, twister, and a
beanbag toss game for the families to enjoy.
Mrs. Boyer made popcorn, cotton candy,
and snow cones! We even had a couple
volunteers from our Bloomingdale Senior
class and middle school help run games and
serve food and drinks. It was a great time
for all!! Thanks to all the families
that were able to attend this after
school activity. We know our students love to hang out with their
families; playing games is always
a fun way to learn.

Valentine’s Day Specials
The history of Valentine’s Day–and the story of
its patron saint–is shrouded in mystery.
We do know that February
has long been celebrated as
a month of romance, and
that St. Valentine’s Day, as
we know it today, contains
vestiges of both Christian
and ancient Roman tradition. But who was Saint
Valentine, and how did he
become associated with
this ancient rite?
The Catholic Church
recognizes at least three
different saints named
Valentine or Valentinus,
all of whom were martyred. One legend contends that Valentine was a
priest who served during
the third century in Rome.
When Emperor Claudius
II decided that single men
made better soldiers than
those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage
for young men. Valentine,
realizing the injustice of
the decree, defied Claudius
and continued to perform
marriages for young lovers
in secret. When Valentine’s
actions were discovered,
Claudius ordered that he
be put to death.
daughter–who visited
him during his confinement. Before his death,
it is alleged that he
wrote her a letter signed
“From your Valentine,”
an expression that is
still in use today. Although the truth behind
the Valentine legends
is murky, the stories all
emphasize his appeal as
a sympathetic, heroic
and–most importantly–

Origins of Valentine’s Day:
A Pagan Festival In Feburary
The very first Valentine was sent for love and
may have ended in death
Other stories suggest
that Valentine may have
been killed for attempting to help Christians
escape harsh Roman
prisons, where they
were often beaten and
tortured. According to
one legend, an imprisoned Valentine actually
sent the first “valentine”
greeting himself after he
fell in love with a young
girl–possibly his jailor’s
Treat Your Sweetie
romantic figure. By the
Middle Ages, perhaps
thanks to this reputation, Valentine would
become one of the most
popular saints in England and France.
While some believe that
Valentine’s Day is celebrated
in the middle of February to
commemorate the anniversary of Valentine’s death or
burial–which probably occurred around A.D. 270–others claim that the Christian
church may have decided to
place St. Valentine’s feast day
in the middle of February in
an effort to “Christianize” the
pagan celebration of Lupercalia. Celebrated at the ides
of February, or February 15,
Lupercalia was a fertility festival dedicated to Faunus, the
Roman god of agriculture, as
well as to the Roman founders Romulus and Remus. To
begin the festival, members
of the Luperci, an order of
Roman priests, would gather
at a sacred cave where the
infants Romulus and Remus,
the founders of Rome, were
believed to have been cared
for by a she-wolf or lupa.
The priests would sacrifice a
goat, for fertility, and a dog,
for purification. They would
then strip the goat’s hide
into strips, dip them into the
sacrificial blood and take to
the streets, gently slapping
both women and crop fields
with the goat hide. Far from
being fearful, Roman women
welcomed the touch of the
hides because it was believed
to make them more fertile in
the coming year. Later in the
day, according to legend, all
the young women in the city
would place their names in a
big urn. The city’s bachelors
would each choose a name
and become paired for the
year with his chosen woman.
These matches often ended in
marriage.
