April 2010 - Hartland Consolidated Schools
Volume 76 Number 4 April 2010 28 Pages Superintendent’s Message Janet Sifferman, Superintendent First and foremost, I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone in the Hartland community for their support of our 2010 Bond Proposal. The passage of this bond will enable us to continue to provide a premier education to our students in safe, modern facilities equipped with the technology necessary for global learners in today’s world. As always, Hartland supports its children and schools. Thank you again! On May 4, Hartland Consolidated Schools will hold its annual regular election. In addition to choosing members for Hartland’s Board of Education, there will be a ballot question asking voters to authorize a renewal of the 18-mill NonHomestead Tax that has existed since Proposal A went into effect in 1994. Unlike the 2010 bond that came before you in February, the Non-homestead renewal is part of the funding for public schools allocated by the State of Michigan and directly impacts the district’s general fund. The non-homestead ballot for this May generates an estimated $4.8 million in revenue for the district, so it is obviously extremely important that we levy the full amount of 18 mills as dictated by the state. It is also important to note that the state assumes school districts are collecting the full 18 mills, so should this proposal not pass, the shortfall will not be covered by the state. This millage is not assessed against residential homestead property or qualified agricultural property. For residential homestead property owners and qualified agricultural property owners, passage of the Non-Homestead Tax costs you nothing except your time to vote. Local business or other non-homestead property owners will only be taxed at the rate (18 mills total) that was planned when state voters passed Proposal A in 1994. The individual parcels have been limited to increases no greater than the cost of living just as homestead property has been limited. Additional information on this issue can be found on pages 14-15 in this edition of Community Life,information distributed through our school buildings and on our web site. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this very important issue, please contact the Administration Office at 810.626.2100.

Below you will find the first standard that we must be able to show evidence of success on and how I would respond to any questions related to this standard. As parents and community members, I welcome your input as to how you would respond to someone asking you how Hartland High School ensures that it adheres to a common vision and purpose in regard to educating students: ADVANCED ED Standard #1: Vision and Purpose: The school has achieved a wide commitment by all groups of stakeholders to a shared purpose and direction. The school has clearly defined expectations for student learning aligned with the schools vision that is fully supported by school personnel and external stakeholders. These expectations serve as the focus for assessing student performance and school effectiveness. The school’s vision guides allocations of time and human material, and fiscal resources. The saying “All equals All” continues to be the vision that guides what we do at HHS. This vision is supported by the three tenets that guide the Hartland Consolidated Schools, Reason, Respect, and Responsibility. The fact that we have programs and processes in place such as Co-teaching, Rigorous Curriculum Steering Committee Recommendations, Career Technology Education / General Education crossover credit opportunities, LINK (Freshmen Orientation Program), Math Lab, Peer Tutoring, Enrichment, Enrichment/Study Skills, Math Enrichment, Common Assessments, Reading Enrichment (next year), Support Groups, Adopt-A-Student, Advanced Placement and Honors courses, On-Line Learning courses, Dual Enrollment options, Articulated College Credit options, etc… are testaments to the effort that is put into meeting the needs of every child at a level that is appropriate for them (All equals All). We continue to ensure that we set reasonable expectations for our students while respecting the individual for who they are. In the end, the responsibility is ours, parents, community members, and students together. This is my understanding of why HHS is highly functional in this category. What are your thoughts? Please feel free to e-mail at chuckhughes@hartlandschools.us or stop by and discuss this Advanced Ed Standard with me. DECA Award The DECA operated school store at Hartland High School was awarded Gold Level Re- certification for 2010. Congratulations to the students that worked on the Certification and teacher/advisor Jamie Riley. They should be commended for this outstanding achievement! Hartland Teachers Participate in Reading Apprenticeship Training 33The goal of Reading Apprenticeship is to help students become more active, strategic, and independent readers by: 33Supporting students’ discovery of their own reasons to read and ways of reading 33Improving student comprehension of what is read using the framework 33Modeling disciplinary ways for reading in different subject areas and genres 33Guiding students to explore, strengthen, and assess their own reading process 33Improving reading across the curriculum as part of our NCA goal at HHS. 810.626.2200 Community Life /September 2009 / 7 Forensics Team a Great Success! When people think of the word “forensics” visions of crime scene investigators and the CSI series might come to mind, but if one takes the time to “investigate” what competitive forensics really is, he will see something vastly different. The HHS forensics team travels to different schools around southeastern Michigan and competes with other schools in public speaking activities. Derived from a Latin word for “belonging to the public forum”, forensics consists of twelve categories including broadcasting, dramatic interpretation, poetry, storytelling, informative speaking, impromptu speaking, extemporaneous speaking and others. On Saturday February 20, six members of the HHS team traveled to a tournament in North Branch and brought home three trophies. Sophomore Leena Shah took first place in extemporaneous speaking while Sophomore Rhianna Dilworth took fourth. This type of speaking is one of the most difficult forensic categories as participants are given a topic relevant to current events and then may only use 30 minutes to prepare a speech. Freshman Megan Martini took third place in the informative category where she gave a presentation on her family’s heritage and life in Poland. Junior Emily Watt made it to the semi-finals in her first ever competition in poetry. Junior Skylar Welti and Freshman Zach Teela both competed in broadcasting, a popular category, in which participants cut and write a script for a five-minute news broadcast presented to a judge. On Saturday February 27, the team traveled to Frankenmuth and sophomore Lexee Barrera broke to semi-finals with a dramatic interpretation piece and finished seventh of twenty-seven competitors. Sophomore Ian Green also competed in the poetry category. The team has two more invitational tournaments before scores from all competitions are compiled to announce students who will move on to regional competition and then to a state-level tournament. Forensics is a fantastic way for students to hone speaking skills, writing skills, and critical thinking skills while making great friends and memories along the way! Have a student that may be interested next year? See Ms. Waddle at the high school. Fun at the High School GEOPHYSICAL Mrs. Wood-Hooskin held “Stump the teacher day” in her Geophysical science classes. Students were asked to describe three different rocks and minerals in several different groups. By their descriptions, Mrs. Wood Hoskin “tried” to identify the rock and its group. If she was stumped the student received a special prize. The students worked together to In Hartland Schools, currently there are over 50 teachers trained in Reading come up with the best descriptions to “Stump the Teacher.” This activity was used Apprenticeship. These teachers are engaged in regular professional development to increase observation accuracy, examination of materials and writing skills. meetings that take place throughout the school year. At these meetings teachers reflect on their teaching practice and support one another’s efforts at integration of the RA framework into their teaching. These meetings give teachers the opportunity to plan collaboratively within their content areas as well as across the curriculum and between buildings. Alternative Energy Class Offered The future energy landscape of the Unite States is filled with many emerging technologies that are promising for use as well as job creation. This is why today’s high school student must explore, handle, experiment with and understand the emerging choices in energy systems today. The new Alternative Energy class at Hartland High School will give students an awareness of Green/Renewable Energy and show its possible impact on their lives. Students will learn about the production and use of energy. Traditional energy sources and consumption patterns are reviewed. The course delves into the green/renewable movement, solar technology, wind turbines, biodiesel, biomass use and material energy efficiencies. Energy students spend time exploring and experimenting with equipment (solar cells, wind turbines, biodiesel engine, and biomass oven) from a ninety thousand dollar grant that the CTE department at the High School received The alternative energy class will challenge students to be environmentally friendly and to seek new energy alternatives. The emerging technologies topics covered in this class will be a key part of Michigan’s future career options, and a key part of keeping the world we know in good shape. Coloring the future Every school year, Hartland High School teacher Trista Erickson and her twelfth grade Advanced Placement English Language and Composition classes choose a cause to which to lend a hand and set a goal to accomplish. This year, while viewing the film Hotel Rwanda in preparation for a written discussion about the U.N.’s and world wide media’s responsibility in global affairs, her students were inspired to generate awareness of acts of mass genocide still occurring in their world. They decided upon a most unusual activity. “The idea of the 1.5 million crayons was started by a Hebrew school in 2008,” senior Holly Grosso said. “They took up a collection of crayons in remembrance of all the children’s lives lost during the Jewish Holocaust – 1.5 million. The students plan to collect half a million crayons in remembrance of all the people who die senselessly due to ongoing acts of genocide, although the inspiration stems from their new awareness of the 80,000 Rwandans murdered in 100 days in 1994. Mrs. Erickson also teaches Freshman English.. The students saw the piles of crayon boxes growing in their classroom and became inquisitive. After explaining the goal of her senior classes, her freshmen wanted to help. The two grades are working together to help bring awareness of needless suffering in the world, by helping contribute to the education of local children. The collection began on January 5 through March 25. Students donated a portion of the new crayons to Hartland elementary schools; the remaining crayons will be sent to schools in Detroit and Flint.

Students dropped in the parking lot must cross lanes of traffic to get to the sidewalk, and it is much safer to drop them next to the curb. Also, if you must come into the school, do not park your car at the curbside this area is for dropping and moving on. Parking at the curbside blocks other parents who are attempting to drop and leave. If you must park and leave your car please use a regular parking space in the parking lot. This applies to afternoon pick up also. Also … Please respect our Handicapped parking and sidewalk ramps. We have many students and parents that need to use these areas on a regular basis. See page 12 for Farms Honor Roll Students in Ms Koski’s homeroom kick off Reading Month with a Drop Everything and Read day. March is Reading Month Our “March is Reading Month” activities opened with an emphasis on silent reading as classes held individual “Read Ins” on March 1. These will continue through out the month in individual classrooms. Contests sponsored by our Media Specialist Mrs. Millington include a chance for the top ten readers in both grades to “Bowl with Mr. Simpson” as well as a Pizza Party for the top homeroom in each grade. Our goal is to have students spend more time reading independently in the evenings and on weekends. We ask parents to reinforce this skill by encouraging their child to read as often as possible. Community Life/April 2010 /7 Creekside Elementary 810.626.2600 March is always a busy month at Creekside especially with all of our reading activities. Author, Kelly DiPucchio, visited and read to us on February 23.

increasing? In the 22 year history of the Hartland Township sanitary sewer system prior to July 2008, rates had never been raised beyond those originally established – despite cost increases for infrastructure, labor, power and materials. The sewer system is now owned and operated by the Livingston County Drain Commissioner’s (LCDC) Office, and the wastewater is treated by Genesee County. LCDC realized a significant increase in costs when they took over the system due to underbidding by the previous contractor for operation of the system and have made annual increases higher than inflation. Genesee County also experienced a cost increase for treatment that required a rate study and adjustment. The original sanitary sewer system failed to comply with regulations of the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) and required mitigation, which led to the transfer to LCDC and treating the wastewater in Genesee County. While a significant portion of the new infrastructure costs were funded through the addition of new users and future additions to the system, part of these costs were appropriately intended to be borne by the existing customers as necessary to the continued existence of the system. During the last two fiscal years, the Township has experienced a deficit in the Sewer Fund and is required by the State of Michigan to take corrective action. Quarterly rate increases are expected to continue into future years until the sewer system’s financial integrity is ensured. Rates for this fiscal year can be viewed on the Township’s website. Planning For a Disaster Disaster can strike without warning, forcing you to go for days without basic necessities or to evacuate your home. Relief workers will be on the scene following a disaster, but may not be able to reach you immediately. You need to be prepared. Knowing the steps to take during a disaster – weather, flooding, tornadoes, fires or other crisis can greatly reduce the danger and distress your family may face. Having a plan is one of the most important steps you can take in disaster preparedness. Knowing what to do and how to do it can help your family manage disasters with less worry, fear and uncertainty.

Bernardin, Fire Marshal 10299 Grand River, Suite N • Brighton, Michigan 48116 • Phone 810.229.0220 Reasons to Make a Last Will & Testament Individuals work a lifetime at accumulating assets, personal property and mementos. It only takes a little time to make sure those valued items pass on to your loved ones. If executed correctly, a Last Will and Testament can clearly state your wishes and ensure they are carried out. Other reasons to take the time to prepare a will: 1. You care about your family and loved ones so you do not want to leave them to figure everything out on their own after your death. By planning, you are conveying the message they are important enough for you to have taken the time to state what your wishes are with respect to your property and assets. 2. People may not die in the order you plan so if a joint account owner passes away before you do, you have a contingency plan in place. Your family and loved ones will know what your wishes are if the co-owners on your accounts die before you do. 3. You want to include plans for a bequest or gift to a charitable, religious, social or community organization that has played a significant role in your life or the life of a loved one. It is important to take the time to include them in your planning. 4. You do not want the State to determine how your assets and property are divided and distributed. The State will divide your property between your spouse and children or other relatives. You would rather make that decision yourself, rather than having the State decide who inherits your property by certain inflexible and impersonal state laws, some of which may violate your personal wishes. 5. You do not want your family to fight over important personal items. It is easier to make a decision and communicate your wishes to your loved ones. 6. You do not want a court to determine who is to be your executor and take care of your affairs after your death. Making a decision on who you want to handle your affairs after your death is not difficult and will make the situation so much easier on your family and loved ones. A will can be changed. So, if circumstances change you have the ability to make whatever changes you deem appropriate. The changes can be due to personal circumstances, death of children, family members or named executors, changes in your financial situation, tax laws and charitable preferences. 8. You do not want your estate to pay estate taxes. Through proper planning, federal and state estate taxes can be minimized or avoided altogether. Of course, a Last Will and Testament may not be appropriate in your situation. A Revocable Living Trust, for example, may be necessary for tax planning purposes. Whatever your situation, seeking the advice of an elder law attorney who can assist you in preplanning will ensure your wishes will be followed upon your death. They can also help minimize, or even eliminate, any estate taxes.

May 4, 2010 — School Election ”Your Vote Counts and Costs You Only Your Time to Vote” On Tuesday, May 4, 2010, voters in the Hartland Consolidated School District will be asked to restore the full 18 Non-Homestead mills for the schools’ operating budget. Essentially, the ballot question asks district voters to keep the same millage rate, 18 mills, that has existed since Proposal A went into effect in 1994. For residential homestead property owners and qualified agricultural property owners, this restoration of the 18 non-homestead mills will cost you nothing except the time and energy you expend to go to the polls. In March of 1994, Michigan voters approved Proposal A. That action completely changed how Michigan public schools would be financially supported in the future. The success of that vote significantly reduced tax millages for people who owned one home (called your homestead). For example, the Hartland Consolidated Schools operating tax millage was 37 mills before Proposal A. After the 1994 vote, it was reduced to six mills and remains this amount. The 6 mills are sent directly to Lansing. This and other taxes, such as sales tax, income tax, liquor and cigarette taxes, and lotto revenues all go into making up the dollars for the state school aid fund. From these collected monies, the State reimburses school districts with a foundation allowance. In Hartland our foundation allowance for the 2009/2010 school year is $7,261.00 per pupil. Please keep in mind that this is the basic foundation grant promised under Proposal A. The 18-mill Non-Homestead Tax portion of school funding is extremely important for Hartland Schools, equating to approximately $4,799,517 in revenue next year. Non-Homestead property is defined as commercial, industrial and second homes such as vacation cottages. Non-qualified agricultural land that is not farmed by the owner is also subject to the 18-mill tax levy. The crux of Proposal A is based on the assumption that each district would collect the full 18 mills on nonhomestead properties. The law states that the full 18 mills cannot be collected unless it comes before the voters in an election, and the state assumes that school districts are collecting the full 18 mills and does not compensate them for a shortfall if the renewal fails. Those of us that own our homes as our primary residence (our homestead) would continue to pay 6 mills – no more and no less. If the Non-Homestead millage on non-residential property is not renewed at the full 18 mills allowed by Proposal A, this will create a loss in revenue for the school district of almost five million dollars for the 2010/2011 school year. The last Non-Homestead Tax millage election was held in May of 2009 for a period of one year. Please remember the 18 mills is what the district needs to be made whole regarding state funding and that this will cost residential homeowners in Hartland nothing more than their time to vote. Why is a non-homestead renewal important to Hartland Schools? tt The 18-mill tax equates to $4,799,517 in revenue for the district next year tt State assumes 100% of the non-homestead tax is collected based on a levy of 18 mills tt Funds not collected ARE NOT made up by the state when allocating monies to our schools for educational purposes Is the Non-Homestead renewal something new? tt NO! This tax levy has been in place since 1995 tt Businesses, vacant property and second homes are expected to pay this tax as part of Michigan’s school funding program tt This is a renewal of the 18 mills passed for one year in 2009 Does this renewal mean a tax increase for area businesses? tt NO! This same 18 mills has been levied on businesses, vacant land and 2nd homes since 1995 and the passage of Proposal A If the only property I own in the Hartland district is my home, does this proposal cost me anything? tt NO! As stated in the ballot proposal, principal residences and other qualified property are exempt. tt NO! But keep in mind if the proposal is defeated, it will cost Hartland Schools approximately $4,799,517. Community Life /April 2010/15 Ballot Language OPERATING MILLAGE RENEWAL PROPOSAL This proposal will allow the school district to continue to levy the statutory rate of 18 mills on all property, except principal residence and other property exempted by law, required for the school district to receive its revenue per pupil foundation allowance. Shall the limitation on the amount of taxes which may be assessed against all property, except principal residence and other property exempted by law, in Hartland Consolidated Schools, Livingston County, Michigan, be increased by 18 mills ($18.00 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) for the year 2010, to provide funds for operating purposes; the estimate of the revenue the school district will collect if the millage is approved and levied in 2010 is approximately $4,799,517 (this is a renewal of millage which expired with the 2009 tax levy)? Where to Vote Residents of the Hartland Consolidated Schools district will vote in the same local township polling location for the school election as when voting in the general election.

Our third annual Gala fundraiser and dinner was a fabulous success. Most people got into the 1960s theme of the evening wearing colorful clothing reminiscent of the “hippie era.” There was a huge colorful cut out of the Magic Bus for people to enjoy having their photos taken in. DJ “Rockin Ron Lewis” provided background and dance music highlighting songs from the 60s & 70s. President Tom Parshall arrived dressed as The Ghoul (TV sci-fi host) and did a speech titled “Talkin’ bout My Generation” as he ran down the list of events, people, inventions and more from that era. The Cromaine Hall at Waldenwoods is always the perfect venue for our Gala. The food was wonderful and we all enjoyed the special dessert-brownies decorated with a peace symbol on top. This year the historical society Board of Trustees wanted to host a less formal event to thank everyone who has supported us with donations toward our on going renovations to the interior of the Florence B Dearing Museum. We are almost finished with the major projects. Our goal is to have the lower portion of the museum open for Memorial Day along with the Post Office exhibit on the main floor. Thanks again to all who came and enjoyed the festive evening, all who supported our Silent Auction with your bids and donated auction items, and all of you who sent in generous regret donations. We are truly fortunate to have such loyal patrons! April 28 Following a very successful and well attended first planning meeting for September’s Hartland Heritage Day, a second meeting will be held in the Community Room at Cromaine Library, Wednesday April 28, from 7-8 p.m. As refreshments will be served, please RSVP by April 25 to Barbara Krueger at bek4450@aol. com or call 248.887.1283.

The Rotary Club of Hartland The Rotary Club of Hartland continues to be busy as the season’s change. On January 29, a group of over 20 enjoyed a social evening at the Tyme Well Spent Tea room. Club member, Nancy Martin prepared a wonderful dinner and our president, Mike Horan, expressed for all, the joy of fellowship we find in our group. The following day, members Lois Halstead and Ceci Marlow helped distribute $300 of children’s books purchased by our club for the Community Connect event focused on helping county residents in need. In February, we welcomed our newest members, Alice Clark and Chris Atkinson to share with us the helping of others through service. On February 13, Susanne Bianchette and Gary Cornillaud represented Hartland Rotary at the Walk for Warmth fundraiser in Hartland. We had a team, “The Split Ends” bowling for Big Brothers and Big Sisters on March 21 where heart substituted for skill in knocking down pins. Thanks to Karen and Frank Crouse, who have been working hard organizing our biggest project yet, a district wide clothing drive for Haiti Relief. Our club has taken the lead in coordinating the efforts of over 50 other Rotary clubs in collecting, packing and shipping these much needed items to earthquake victims.

Grand River Brighton, MI 48116 next to Dairy Queen 810.229-5335 Community Life /April 2010/23 Scouting News Eagle Scout Daniel Waldo A Court of Honor was held to recognize the achievements and service of Eagle Scout Daniel Waldo on Saturday, January 30. Daniel is the son of Rick and Mary Beth Waldo of White Lake, Michigan. Members of his family, friends and fellow scouts from Boy Scout Troop #381 gathered at St. Augustine Church in Deerfield Township for the ceremony. Three Fires District Commissioner Wayne Westfield presented the Trail to Eagle while scouts from the troop lit candles signifying the tenets of the Scout Oath and Law. Troop Committee Member Steve Sluis presented the Trail to Eagle and Scoutmaster Ron Trosin presented the Significance of the Eagle Rank and Award. Daniel’s Eagle Scout sponsor and mentor, Robert Stevenson, had the honor of administering the Charge to Eagle. Gary Nylander, assistant scoutmaster, read a letters of commendation from Governor Jennifer Granholm, Congressman Mike Rogers and Senator Debbie Stabenow. A slide show produced by Daniel’s brother Dale and sister Ann, highlighting Daniel’s scouting days from Tiger Cub through his Eagle service project, was presented during the ceremony. A prelude and postlude of piano and guitar music was played by Tim Twiss, Daniel’s music instructor and fellow Eagle Scout. A luncheon celebration, provided by the Waldo family, was enjoyed by all following the ceremony. For his Eagle Scout project, Daniel managed the planting of trees at Highland Pines Park in Highland Township. Troop 381 congratulates Daniel on earning the highest rank in Boy Scouting. Cadette Troop 40139 The members of Cadette Troop 40139 have had a good year working together to earn several Interest Projects. Pictured are the girls holding up a quilt outside one of the pod cabins of the New Troop House at Camp Linden. The quilt was made in pursuit of the Sew Glam Interest Project for donation to a local Project Linus donation center. Project Linus accepts newly made quilts and blankets and donates them to local youth in need; illness, fire victims, homelessness or other need. The troop has also earned the Couch Potato and Just Jewelry Interest Projects. At the Cadette level of Girl Scouting, each Interest Project (or ‘badge’) includes requirements for a service project. This transition helps to focus the girls not only on learning a new skill, but putting that skill to use to benefit the community, younger girls or some other need. We have been camping, cooked a dinner for each other that could be used for a weekly family meal, sorted candy for shipment to the Troops and or course, sold cookies! Cub Scout Pack 385 Den 2 Tiger Cubs Boy Scout Troop 385 Submitted by Mitchell Hundal, 1st Class Scout. Boy Scout Troop 385 has been very busy these last few months. We collected 1,700 pounds of food for Gleaners Food Bank. We helped a family during the holidays by providing them with clothes, books, toys, and gift cards. Our troop had a great weekend at Camp Teetonkah learning rifle shooting skills and building a monkey bridge out of rope. We shot 22 caliber rifles at paint balls taped to targets. It was awesome. We took a trip in February to Boyne ski resort and up to Wright Patterson Air force Base. We took a tour of the museum where we saw planes from WW2 and from the Korean and Southeast Asia Wars. All of us from Troop 385 would like to congratulate K.C. Perlberg for achieving his Eagle Scout Rank, the highest rank in boy scouting. Boy Scout Troop 380 Collection Dates The following are the dates for Troop 380 Paper, “Returnable” Can and Bottle Drive. April 3 The Tiger Cubs from Lakes Elementary recently attended an outing at Oh My Lolli located in downtown Brighton. The Tiger Cubs were able to safely watch as boiled sugar had coloring and flavor added to it, then it was mixed, pulled, and finally molded into custom candy suckers for each of them. A fun time was had by all and the boys learned what is involved in making this classic candy treat. Who protects your legal rights?
