Mrs. Doleman had her baby!

On Wednesday, January 28, 2009, Mrs. Doleman added

another son to her family. Kenyon Thomas Doleman, came into

the world weighing 8 pounds 5 ounces and was 20 ½ inches

long. Both mother and son (and dad and big brother) are doing

fine.


At 5:15 p.m. on Tuesday, January 27th

, students from PLMS 6th

grade returned from Snow Creek Ski Resort outside of Weston,

Missouri. Students returned tired with a few bumps and bruises, but thankfully without any major injuries.

This year students and parents left the school at approximately 8:30 a.m. when the

thermometers were still at 11 degrees with a light snow falling. We had not yet reached

Oskaloosa when the first shouts of, “Are we there yet?” sounded through the bus.

We arrived at 9:45, and for the first time in memory students did not have to wait

another 30 minutes on the buses. The teachers were pleased.

First, students were given preliminary

instructions on ski etiquette, how to put on ski

boots, and how to attach their lift tickets to

their clothing. They were also instructed

about how to use the lockers and how to leave

the building with skis in hand. Next came group lessons on how to put on skis, get up

after falling, and how to side step up the hill. Most importantly they learned how to snow

plow to a stop then use the rope tow. They practiced skiing down a small slope with

knees slightly bent, arms extended out in front of them, while leaning shins into the

upper part of their boots.

After completing beginning lessons students were

ready to attack the steeper slopes. As always,

students learn at their own pace. Some were flying down the hills in no time while others

struggled a little longer with more spills. Soon all were racing down the hills with their

classmates.

By mid-day the temperature rose to about 18 degrees with a slight wind out of the north.

Students came in from the cold, warmed their gloves and bodies, ate some lunch, and returned

for the afternoon of skiing. During lunch anyone who listened could hear stories of fantastic

spills and tumbles.

Students were called in at 3:30 p.m. Preparing to leave, students grabbed snacks for the bus ride back to school while relaying to

their friends the races they had down the slopes, attempts to avoid collisions, with many near misses and collisions. There were

stories of falls into the snow and everyone talked about how tired they were. The buses left Snow Creek at 4:00 p.m., with snow

still falling from the sky, headed toward home and a good night's rest.

Power School Abbreviations

The following is a key to the abbreviations that all Middle School teachers use in their grade books. Power School Grade Card Abbreviations

AB Absent (points exempt) EX Excused (points exempt) NC No Credit (zero points) M Missing (zero points)

The eligibility policy is as it was last year. Students who have an “F” grade in any class on Monday morning at the eligibility check will have the remainder of the week to raise their grade to passing. If the student does not raise the grade by the grade-check on the following Monday, the student is ineligible to play for the week. The cycle repeats until the student’s grade is raised to passing on the Monday grade-check. Students will be expected to raise their grades by completing and submitting homework and retaking tests. Students are guaranteed the opportunity to raise their grade to “passing” each week. They may practice but are expected to use their practice time to regain their eligibility. Official grade checks began Monday, September 8
