Making Assessments Count Wisconsin state assessments can be very overwhelming and intimidating for the students as they are taking them and also for the parents as they are trying to understand the results. As a school district we want to make sure that not only teachers but students and parents alike are beginning to understand what information we are gaining through all of this testing. Our hope, in the Cumberland School District, is that we will be able to utilize these results for multiple uses:

• To help guide instruction in areas where there is need for support • To help students set individual goals for improvement • To help parents better understand where their child is at academically

As your child is assessed with one of the new state assessments (PALS, Smarter Balanced, WKCE, ACT Aspire, and ACT) please be watching for detailed score reports to be sent home with your child, along with explanations to help you ‘read’ the report. As you look them over please do not hesitate to call me at 715-‐822-‐5121 if you have any questions at all. In addition, we will begin meeting with students as we receive results in order to help them understand more fully how they performed as well as set goals based on their results. This is beginning with our 9th grade students during December. The ACT Aspire results were just released and Mr. Narges and I will meet individually with students. I am very excited for this opportunity and am looking forward to these educational conversations. As a reminder, please mark your calendars for the following test dates. It is extremely important that all students are in attendance and well-‐rested, ready to do their best for these assessments. Thanks so much for all of your support and encouragement of your child(ren).

Excellence is a journey, not a destination

From the PrincipalIt seems like just yesterday we were preparing for the new school year and all of the opportunities that emanate with a fresh beginning. Now we are turning our energy to the holiday season, which includes a push to those crucial final exams and a much needed break. As the year 2014 comes to a close, there are some amazing moments to highlight from the fall semester at Cumberland High School.

The school year has proven successful in many areas. Over 50 percent of our student body participated in a fall athletic or co-curricular activity. That is an amazing percentage and says a lot about our quality programs! Our athletic teams and marching band had great seasons! We could not be prouder of our teams and their incredible demonstration of teamwork. Our marching band placed second in the state marching band competition, and our football and girl’s golf teams won the conference sportsmanshp award.

As we head into second semester of the 2014-2015 school year, we have much to look forward to! We continue to appreciate your support in all aspects of our school. I encourage you to find time in your schedule to attend one of our student activities or athletic events to see our students perform. As always, I value hearing from you whenever you need help, have a concern, or just want to share what you think is going right for your student.

GuidanceMs. Gobler

Freshman Respect RetreatOn December 3rd the Freshman class went to the annual Respect Retreat. During this event the class learned about how to respect others and respect themselves. The first half of the day was filled with games to help the kids open up. After lunch the pace changed and went into more serious activities. It gave the chance for the students to look within themselves and describe what they think respect is.

Each year sophomore students and their parents meet up with Ms. Gobler to talk about their future plans and progress in High School so far. Parents should expect to receive the scheduling letter soon with more information about the process. Conferences will run in February to the end of April. If you would like to set up a conference time that fits your schedule please call Ms. Gobler at 715-822-5104.

Sophomore Planning !Conferences

Seniors that have been accepted to the UW-system colleges will need to take placement tests at regional testing sites. On-line registration for Regional Placement testing will begin on February 1st. Register online at http:www.testing.wisc.edu. Some UW schools do not require their students to take the Math and English Placement tests but use the ACT sub-scores instead. Students should check with their college to see what the placement test requirements are for their school.

Placement Testing for !Seniors

ACT Testing This year the juniors will be taking the ACT at the High School for free and it will be happening nation wide. The test will be administered this spring on March 3rd.

Personal FinanceMrs. Thill and Mrs. Majewski

Job Shadow ExperienceStudents in Personal Finance had the opportunity to participate in a job shadow experience in October. A job shadow experience is literally spending time “in the shadow” of a person doing his or her job. It immerses each student in the world of work, where they can get first-hand information about job skills and careers. Students shadowed auto mechanics/small engines, health care workers, teachers, pharmacist, chef, police department, funeral director, paramedic, personal trainer, psychologist and sales manager. It was a great experience for the students and we would like to thank all the hosts for allowing the students to come in and follow them for the day!

MathMr. Olson and Mrs. Larson

Finishing up the first semester in PreCalculus, students will be completing their mathematical modeling project. Given the level of mathematics that is taught in trigonometry, concepts of the engineering curriculum focus on forces, magnitude and direction of resultant vectors, and maximum load capacities on structural components. The students use their trigonometric knowledge and creativity to design a simple free-fall vehicle to protect an egg. It is amazing what a little ingenuity and teamwork can accomplish with the power of mathematics. Simple objects can be used to overcome large obstacles.

Special Education Resources NICHY (http://nichy.org/families-community) NICHY serves the nation as a central source of information on disabilities for infants through youth. E-Ready Special Education Information for Parents (http://www.pta.org/advocacy/content.cfm?ItemNumber=3713) This page provides parents and teachers of children with disabilities with information on specific disabilities, a glossary of special education terms, and links to helpful resources. The National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD) (http://www.NCLD.ORG/) The goal of this organization is a high school diploma for all students with learning disabilities and to help prepare them for college and the workplace.

Fashion Design Mrs. Thill

Cumberland School District Winter 2014

Fashion Design In the beginning of the semester, the fashion design class went on a field trip to Michaels in Eau Claire. Students were able to pick out projects that they wanted to work on throughout the semester. The options for projects are unlimited; students have been creating quilts, picture boards, clothing, tie blankets, wall art and more.

~ Sportsmanship: Everyone’s Responsibility ~ Mr. Mark Fuller - Athletic Director

As our winter sports seasons begin, we want to congratulate two of our fall sports, Football and Girl’s Golf, for winning the HON’s top award for Sportsmanship for the seasons recently concluded. The Girl’s Cross Country team also just missed being recognized for the same award.

As a School District who believes sports offer “life lessons” which go beyond winning or losing, we’re very proud of the recognition. We are also very aware that the parents and fans in attendance at our events are an important piece of the sportsmanship puzzle, serving as key models to our athletes.

Each sporting contest has four elements; the coach, the athletes, the official, and the spectators. If we let the coaches’ coach, the student-athletes play, the officials officiate, and as spectators form a positive support team, we can all enjoy the nights and days of activities that lie ahead this winter.

We ask that our coaches and athletes perform to the best of their abilities and efforts, just as we encourage our kids to do so in the classroom, realizing that someone may turn in a better or lesser performance. Our reaction to the ebb and flow of these contests become a vehicle of communication and a source of teaching the art of sportsmanship behavior.

2014 Color Guard Team • Advisor - Ms. Casey Rohl

Ms.Kysely teaches the classes English 10, Journalism, Theatre Arts, and Public Speaking.

-‐English 10: Students are working on Life Maps. This brainstorming activity will lead toward the writing of a personal narrative. Their next big unit will be the research paper and learning proper MLA documentation.

-‐Journalism: Journalism has put broadcasting on the back burner for a bit while they delve into other forms of journalism. They first analyzed newspapers and headlines. Recently they did their first interview of military veterans and posted their articles including photographs to the class blog. They will be ending the semester looking at war journalists and photojournalism.

-‐Theatre Arts: Set designs are not as easy as they look. Students put on a director's hat and had to read the set designs in scripts and then construct them. The class will be taking a field trip in December to see a live performance of Hans Brinker: The Silver Skates at St. Croix Theatre. The semester will end with stage performances that will include monologues.

-‐Public Speaking: Persuasion was the focus of the last speech. Since the class is made up of all seniors except for one, they will be writing their senior exit speeches. After the holidays they will be preparing visual aid presentations with the focus of helping those in need.

It’s been a great year so far in the art room! We have been fortunate to

have Khendra Johnson, an Art Education student from Stout, visit several

times this year. She completed some field experience hours and was able

to interact with and share her talents with the students. We are also

excited to announce that the student art exhibit at US Bank is up and

ready to be viewed. This is a permanent gallery consisting of six pieces. The

artwork will be changed every few months to highlight our talented

students in Cumberland. In addition, Dairy State Bank will be hosting a

similar display sometime early in the new year. We will keep you updated!

Lastly, students have been hard at work preparing for the upcoming choir

and band concerts. We hope you will be able to come check out the

artwork in the hallways and enjoy some great music this month!

How do we teach compassion? How can we do a better job of having our students understand the idea of paying it forward? To understand that they can be a rock that when thrown into the water will ripple into making someone else’s life a little bit easier? These were a few of the questions that Ann Kysely had that sparked the vision to apply for the Cumberland School District Education Foundation Grant. The brainstorming behind the mission eventually lead to a connection with an organization called Urban Immersion. Urban Immersion is a retreat center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. They arrange meaningful service projects at organizations such as food shelves, shelters and other social services. On Sunday, October 26, 2014 the CHS Junior class plus chaperones, loaded onto buses and headed to the city late in the afternoon. The chaperones were Ann Kysely, Ritchie Narges, Shala Brown, Abbie Thill, Barb Muench, Rob Ankarlo, Tommy Yousten, Steve Linton, Dave Madzo, Jill Kilibarda and Khou Vang. Monday morning was when the true lesson plan was implemented. The students were divided into groups and scattered throughout the city via school bus, city bus, cars and by foot. There were ten different sights that all had their own unique element of service. At the end of the day the crew gathered back at Urban Immersion and walked to have supper at Kitchen Opportunities, which cooks up menus for meals on wheels. On the walk back some time was spent at the Global Market where the students were immersed in a plethora of cultural food and wares. We wrapped up the evening with each group sharing their experience. The students reflected that the lesson plan for teaching compassion was a success. The next step is to have the students in their senior year continue their personal growth of paying it forward as they participate in local volunteer activities such as the Cumberland food pantry, Rubies Pantry, and Kinship, just to name a few. The overall objective of this teaching unit was that compassion can turn into a lifestyle.

Forward!

Fit for Life- In fit for life the students have been working on setting up fitness goals that they will be working on reaching in the near future. They are developing work out plans that will help them reach their goals. They are also working on fitness portfolios and goal setting that will help them through out high school and once they graduate.

Competitive Team Sports- In Competitive team sports it’s all about working as a team to complete a goal. This year the class has already covered floor hockey, capture the flag, basketball and a number of other activities.

Aerobic Fitness- In Aerobic Fitness Mr. O’Connell had each student research and present a sun salutation to the class. This is a part of the yoga and Pilates unit they have been working on.

Life Time Leisure- This fall they covered kayaking, biking, softball, golf, archery and other activities. They focus on activities they can continue to do after high school.

Every Wednesday the classes get a chance to get a work out in, it’s called Workout Wednesday. The workouts take place in the gym or they go to the fitness center.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Mr. Bielmeier

Mr. Bielmeier is more than excited to be able to have the opportunity to take on the class Advanced BFS. BFS is not new as Mr. Bielmeier has held summer sessions the last few years. What does BFS mean? Bigger, Faster, and Stronger. The class is combined with weight training and speed & agility. For weight training the students have worked on, narrow, box, and regular bench press, squats, deadlifts, and power cleaning. Each student has found their max in each section and work off of that to build weight across to become stronger. Speed and agility consists of a lot of foot work and doing it quickly to increase endurance. The biggest thing kids mistake about this class is that it’s not about how much you can lift or how fast you are, but how hard you try to get better than what you are now. People also think that this class is just for athletic kids but it’s for everyone that is willing to push themselves. We have young bodies and can recover a lot quicker than those who are older, so in this class you are expected to do work everyday. This class is designed to push you even when you don’t feel motivated because in life you can’t just quit or give up when things aren't going right. In life hard work and dedication is what equals success and Mr. Bielmeier wants the students to see that in his class.

Middle School

Counselor’s CornerIt is amazing how fast Cumberland Middle School has completed first quarter and is on to the second! I have greatly enjoyed getting to know the students over these last few months. Cumberland Middle School students celebrated Red Ribbon Week the last week in October. During that time, 5th grade students in guidance discussed the significance of being “Drug Free.” Students completed activities in class and created drug free posters. I am very proud of how all of our students shared their knowledge in class and promoted a drug free school.

We are now transitioning to the topic of Bullying and the importance of being kind to one another. Students in fifth grade will continue to learn about this topic when they attend the Youth Frontiers Kindness Retreat on December 18. We are very excited about this opportunity and look forward to our students finding new ways to show respect at Cumberland Middle School and in our community.

Cumberland’s chapter of National Junior Honor Society inducted 21 new members into the honor society on December 1. These Students demonstrate excellent scholarship, citizenship, service, leadership, and character qualities. We are excited for the new energy they will bring to NJHS!

6th Grade - Mr. Justin Peterson

6th grade students worked hard to track their plant’s progress. They learned about variables in an experiment and got to test to see what variables would effect their plants in a negative or positive way. By altering seed density, water, mulch, and fertilizer amounts, students quickly saw for themselves what variables produced the tallest growing plants. The plants we planted are called Wisconsin Fast Plants. They were developed by a professor from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He took many different kinds of plants from the cabbage family and inter mated them until he developed a plant that grew from seed to seed in about 35 days. This plant has allowed the students to make many discoveries about seed producing plants. We observed the different parts of the plant and learned about their jobs and how they contribute to the plants’ growth and development. You can see in the pictures students harvesting seeds to take home. The students did a great job sticking with the experiment’s parameters even if it meant giving their plant a little less water than they wanted. At the end of the experiment we were all able to figure out which settings yielded the tallest plants.

The 8th grade Baskeball team finished their season in Hayward on December 4. The team had a challenging season overcoming injuries but battled back. They worked hard and had steady improvement throughout the season.

The team was coached by Mr. Brent Knutson

Fifth graders in Mr. Olufs, Mrs. Fauske, and Ms. Jensen’s classes have had a busy month! During their November science unit the students were studying Earth’s Place in the Universe. They learned about the Sun, the Moon, the planets, and other space objects. During the moon study, students learned about the phase of the moon by using cookies. How sweet! To end the unit each student put together a poster display to teach their classmates about their specific object. Each class set up their posters and the other classes walked around to view them and ask questions. The gallery walk was very successful.

In December the fifth grade class is looking forward to doing many holiday activities while learning life skills such as measuring ingredients, using different household objects safely, and learning the value of a dollar! Happy Holidays!

7th Grade English Language Arts

Students in 7th Grade English Language Arts have been reading the novel, The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. They have been discussing ideas present in the novel, such as gangs, stereotypes, perspectives, and friends. Students had a chance to bring the books’ characters to life by drawing life-size versions of the characters in small groups. After the novel, the class will split into the same two groups found in the novel (Greasers and Socs), and write a newspaper article describing events from the book from the perspective of their social group.

Sixth Grade Aztec, Maya, and Inca Stories

Mrs. Debra Johnson

Physical Education and Adaptive EducationMr. Jason Martens

Cumberland sixth grade social studies students are learning about the great pre-columbian civilizations of the Western Hemisphere. The Aztec, Maya, and Inca civilizations were amazingly advanced in engineering, mathematics, and astronomy, and their empire-building marvels could rival any other civilization found elsewhere worldwide during their time.

The Aztec and Maya created sun stone calendars, ceremonial altar stones, to keep records of their lives. Sun stones were round, intricate, artistic carvings and celebrations. Through hieroglyphs and other symbols, the historic stories of the Aztec and Maya could be related and passed on. Our sixth grade students are attempting the same. Here students are creating their own versions of Aztec, Maya, or Inca sun stone calendars, and, while doing so, they are also writing about the symbolic meanings of their creatively designed stones.

The CMS students are in high gear for the 2nd quarter. The students have been working hard trying to improve on their Physical Fitness test scores as well as their PACER scores by doing various fitness activities in class. Station work, rock wall climbing, speed and agility work, and cooperative/competitive activities are on the agenda for this quarter to reach these important fitness goals.

We are now more than a quarter of the way through the school year! Classrooms have settled into regular routines and activities, and teachers are challenging students to expend their learning in a variety of ways. As well as the rigor of classroom instruction, teachers have designed field trips, assemblies, and a variety of school activities to stimulate learning and enhance the school experience. These activities are designed for students to have fun, but also to make friends, learn new skills, develop character and become connected to the school. As we approach the Holiday season I am reminded of the ART OF GIVING. Students can be so giving of their smiles, laughter, generosity, time, talents, and cute comments. I love to see high-fives, knuckle bumps, thumbs-up, #1 signs, waves, etc., when students meet each other in the hallway. The ART OF GIVING someone a lift in his or her day can be so simple or far more complex. Students learn at a young age the ART OF GIVING through modeling from parents/guardians, brothers, sisters, grandparents, special people in their lives, educators, and community involvement. May your Holiday Season be filled with many special moments that make a difference in sooooooo many different ways!

The Role of the Speech and Language Pathologistby Diane Carlson and Kirsten Sandman

Diane Carlson and Kirsten Sandman provide small group services for students identified with needs in the area of speech and language development. Mrs. Sandman works with our youngest and oldest students (Pre-K and Middle School/High School) and Mrs. Carlson works with students in kindergarten through fourth grade. They help students who stutter as they speak, or have difficulty understanding and using language. Language and communication are a part of everyday life. Children learn to become good communicators when they have opportunities to share their thoughts and ideas with others. Talk with your child during every day events, ask questions while you read together, get their opinions when choices need to be made, play guessing games while riding in the car, the list is endless. Your interactions create opportunities to learn to become good listeners and good communicators.

HELP!~ CLOTHING DONATIONS WELCOME ~

We’re in need of clean, gently used socks, underwear, sweatpants, winter snow pants and boots for children in grades Pre K - Grade 4. Our closet of extra clothing and boots always needs replenishing. Winter boots and snow pants are much needed at this time of the year. Hand-me-downs are welcomed and appreciated.

The kindergarten students finished up a unit on families and homes by making a family tree project. One of our focus questions was “Who is part of a home?” We answered the question by making a tree with ornaments that had pictures of family members or by putting various colored paper lights on a tree glyph. Each color represented a family member.

We also made reindeer and did reindeer writing to answer questions about them. Our hallway is looking festive with lots of colored lights that we made. You will also find some unique decorations in our classrooms and hallway.

The pumpkin patch was full of fun and excitement to see all the animals and go on a hayride through the spooky forest. In the last week of November we had a Thanksgiving feast to share food with all our friends. Everyone loved the ice cream shop for the letter I week. We have been enjoying playing in the snow and sledding outside.

Second Grade Community LifeMrs. Atkins, Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Flottum, and Mrs. Kolzow

As a part of their LEAD 21 curriculum, the second graders learned about community life. The theme question for this Unit was “What makes a good community?” For their inquiry project, students worked in groups to create what they believe would be an ideal community to live in. Groups started their projects by creating a web and then they created a mural or a 3D community.

For over 30 years, the fourth graders at Cumberland Elementary have been attending plays at the Minneapolis Children’s Theatre, now known as the Children’s Theatre Company. This year we were lucky enough to see the production of Dr. Seuss’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas. The students were able to witness Whoville just as they imagined it to be and watch as the Grinch attempted to ruin Christmas. We asked some fourth graders what their favorite part of the play was, and these were their responses.

Wyatt: “I liked when the Grinch was shoving the Christmas tree up the chimney.”Remington: “I liked it when they were flying through the air on the sleigh and when the Grinch came down from the ceiling on the wreath.”Ethan: “I liked the part when the Grinch came up into the stands and threw the pie.”Logan: “My favorite part in the play was when the last part when the Grinch flew the sleigh.”Kale’a: “My favorite scene in the play when was Cindy Lou Who sang to the Grinch and it melted his heart.”David: “My favorite part of the play was the beginning when Max the dog was old.”Chandler: “My favorite part of the play was when Cindy Lou woke up and got a drink of water and sang to the Grinch/Santy Clause.”

Speech Language TherapistMrs. Kirsten Sandman

Kirsten has been a speech-language therapist for the Cumberland School District since 2006. She works primarily with 3 to 5 year olds as part of the 4K program, but has worked in kindergarten this school year as well. Kirsten also works with middle and high school students. She works to improve communication skills such as learning to say certain sounds (articulation) or helping students develop greater understanding and use of language (building vocabulary, following directions, etc.) Kiersten is married with two sons and 3 furry friends. Her boys are in 9th and 7th grade and attend school here in Cumberland.

Books on the BusTitle I Resource Teacher ~ Mrs. Debbie Olsen

Debbie Olsen, Title I resource teacher, and the Cumberland Bus Company are piloting a program called Books on the Bus. Debbie read about a school district in the eastern part of Wisconsin that had started the program and was intrigued by the idea of starting it here in Cumberland. The bus company agreed to give it a try. The idea is to have older students read to younger students providing improved literacy skills for all - a win-win. And an added bonus, according to the bus drivers in the original district, is a quieter bus!

Donated Wal-Mart gift cards have been used to purchase 12 backpacks for two buses. The backpacks are kept in the first three rows of the bus. PTA donated $300.00 towards books from the Scholastic Book Fair and Title I funds were used to purchase additional books to get the program off the ground.

If you have gently used children’s picture books that you would like to donate to the program, they would be welcomed. Donations of money would also be appreciated for additional backpacks and books to expand the program to more buses. All donations may be left in the elementary office.

Christmas Around the WorldMrs. Hall, Mrs. Mitchell, Mrs. Johnson, and Ms. Knutson

Third graders study countries around the world throughout the school year in social studies class. We learn geography, language, foods, and customs. The students begin to realize how others around the world are not only different than them, but also very much the same. This time of year, we emphasize Christmas traditions and celebrations. We make projects, ornaments, and recently made klockastrangs, which are traditional Norwegian door pulls. When guests come to visit, instead of knocking or ringing the doorbell, they jangle the klockatrangs to announce their arrival. Each child chose objects to use on their decoration and went to work. The students are wonderfully creative!

An Open Article on Confidentialityby Mr. Evan Stranstalien and Mrs. Jessie Golburg

Special Education guidelines are often different than the general education practices. This is especially true in the area of confidentiality. The two biggest confidentiality laws regarding special education are: FERPA - Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (1974) and IDEA - Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (1975, reauthorized in 2004.) These laws protect special education student’s privacy much like medical records are protected in hospitals. As a special education department we are committed and obligated by confidentiality regulations. This includes ensuring that the very personal and sensitive information collected and reported about students and their families through the eligibility process and Individualized Education Plan (IEP) development is only shared with those that provide specialized services or have an educational need to know the information.

I wanted to update you on some great things happening in guidance. First of all, a huge thank you to parents and the community for being so supportive of Red Ribbon Week this year! We had fun in class making Red Ribbon Week buttons and many of the students and staff participated in the dress up days. Thank you for helping get your kids excited about living a healthy and drug free lifestyle! During the month of December in class, we have been talking about what bullying is and practicing what to say and do by having students do role-playing. The students do a great job with these role-plays and it gives them an opportunity to not only learn what they can do, but to practice. In November the CLIMB theatre came to the elementary school to present two plays about how to deal with bullying. Students in grades K-2 watched a play about a cowbird and robin that had to learn together how to stand up to bullying. The 3rd and 4th grades watched a play about a group of friends who had an acting club. Jacob, Adrian and Mallie had been watching other kids get bullied, but did nothing. In the play, they learn how to stand up to a bully, but more importantly, that they each play an important role in helping others who are being bullied. The plays were great and in class we have been able to use many examples from the plays as we are learning about bullying. In the upcoming months, we are going to have lessons on feelings, anger, friendship and conflict management. It has already been a great start to the school year and as we approach the end of the first quarter, I am looking forward to the rest of the year! Happy Holidays!

First Graders Celebrate the 50th Day of School and Learn All About CommunitiesMrs. Grewe, Ms. Rohl, Mrs. Strangstalien, and Mrs. Torrison

Our 50th day of school was November 14, and what better way to celebrate it than dressing up in 50’s attire, learn about life in the 50’s, listen to a few records and have a sock hop! It was a rockin’ good time!

During our last reading unit, students learned about different kinds of communities, jobs that are a part of a community, how neighbors in a community play together, and whether or not we have everything we need in our community. To wrap up their study on communities, students worked together in small groups to create murals representing different types of communities.

Special Education Resourcesby Mrs. Mary Jacobsen

Special education uses many resources to help our students to learn. We would like to share some good sites for parents and/or students to explore:

http://www.sensory-processing-disorder.com/sensory-integration-activities.html. The site includes activities, information, etc. about sensory-processing disorders.

http://www.readingresource.net. It’s a great resource for struggling readers and students with learning disabilities and their families.

http://www.kidpointz.com. This site has great charts and information on helping with challenging behavior.

http://www.eyecanlearn.com. The purpose of this website is to provide parents with fun eye exercises to enhance their children’s visual processing skills for better school performance and sustained attention.

http://www.do2learn.com/index.htm. So many great resources for people with special needs. It includes online activities, printable resources, and lots of information for people on the autism spectrum.

http://www.ldonline.org. A great resource for parents and teachers of students with a learning disability.

A C A D E M YA Global Learning Perspective

What is a Gallery Walk? The Island City Academy has a unique way to showcase student work known as a Gallery Walk. The students host a minimum of three Gallery Walks during the school year that allow them to share interests, research, and experiments with the public.

The first of these Gallery Walks was held on November 13th, where the ICA showed off the projects they’d spent first quarter working on. From microwave radiation to invasive species, the projects presented were as varied as they were good.

But they didn’t get that good overnight. Many of the projects had experiments that took time and effort to complete. Even after the project was done, the boards needed to be put together in a professional manner, which can take another one to two weeks.

Put all that time spent working together, with the desire to learn these students have, and you get one great event. We hope to see you at the next Gallery Walk on Thursday, January 22 from 2-4 PM and 5-6 PM in the middle school commons.

In addition to the student showcase, there is also a Galley Store with items created and produced by students, such as bat houses, lip balm, and baked goods, available for sale.

Middle School Student Council

Margaret’s Project Santa Penny Wars Update

Thank you to everyone who donated money to the

Margaret's Project Santa Penny Wars!! Our school

collected a grand total of $937.33, which will all

stay right here in our community to purchase food

and gifts for Cumberland families in need. This

year the Student Council had the offer from an

anonymous donor to match any amount raised, up to $1000. After the total

was presented to the MS staff, several teachers stepped up to fill the gap,

bringing the total to $1017.33. Mrs. Haughian’s class collected the most

pennies ($159.19), Ms. Jensen’s class collected the most silver and dollars

($63.60), and the ICA had the highest total collection amount (187.92).

Excellent job and thanks again to everyone who donated. All money raised

through this event goes to Margaret’s Project Santa, which provides food and

gifts to families in need right here in Cumberland in memory of Margaret

Olson.

MS Winter Carnival and Benjamin’s House Collection will be January 27-30.

The middle school student council consists of 48 students in grades 5-8. Students who are interested in joining collect four student signatures, along with their homeroom teacher and parent signatures, to demonstrate that they are willing and able to perform the tasks of the Student Council. Student Council members work in the School Stores at the Middle School, which are open every morning and afternoon. The School Stores offer a variety of snacks and school supplies at reasonable prices. Student Council members also volunteer to work at high school concessions stands, decorate for middle school dances, and coordinate a variety of community service projects such as Soles for Souls and Penny Wars. Student Council members also plan and participate in quarterly Beaver Bashes—a celebration of student accomplishments at the MS.

Student Council will be seeking donations for Benjamin’s House in Rice Lake. Benjamin’s House is a homeless shelter that serves the Rice Lake area, including Cumberland. Persons who find themselves at Benjamin’s House have often loss their homes due to foreclosure, have become sick or disabled, have lost their jobs and source of income, struggle with substance abuse, or live with a mental illness. The average length of stay at Benjamin’s House is 38 days, just enough to get back on their feet. Since it’s opening in 2011, Benjamin’s House has provided a place to rest for 400 residents, including 90 children. That is a total of over 14,000 nights in a bed. The shelter shares that 64% of their residents leave with a reliable source of income and a safe, stable place to live. Benjamin’s House program runs on volunteers and donations. Cumberland Middle School Student Council would like to help provide Benjamin’s House with a few items on their ‘Wish List’. The Student Council is pairing this collection with their Winter Carnival contest and their homerooms will receive one point for each item donated. The homeroom with the most points at the end of Winter Carnival week will earn a Sammy’s Pizza lunch party!!
