Title VI-B Fund Monies

The Cory-Rawson Local Schools will once again be receiving the Title VI-B fund for the 2017-18 school year. These funds are used to supplement special ed- ucation and special needs programs already in place in the school district and county. This allocation is ear- marked to help pay for the special education services Cory-Rawson students receive through the Hancock County Educational Service Center. The school sys- tem would like to continue to use its Title VI-B money for this purpose. Any requests or suggestions for the use of these funds in the future can be directed to the superintendent.

7 Spanish Workshop

On April 20, 2017, the Spanish 3 class, led by the student teacher Blair Bishop, taught elementary students in grades kindergarten through sixth grade different topics in Spanish. At the beginning of the workshop, each student received their own name in Spanish, just like every Spanish student does when they take a high school Spanish class. Gavin Erford and Ryan Stuckey taught the children about the several types of animals and their sounds using the Spanish words that represent them. Haley Rossman and Alissa Ruther- ford showed the children a rainbow with the Spanish names for the color on it and gave the children M&M’s to solidify their learning of the colors. Brittany Boehm and Cassie Thomas held a clothes party involving try- ing on clothes and coloring pages with traditional Spanish clothing. Desirée Hamby led the groups in Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes in Spanish and played Simon Says with them to pass the time. Hannah Bixler and Amber Edson taught the children the names to several foods and allowed them to sample a traditional Spanish treat, Dulce de Leche.

8 Elementary Book Clubs This year, we had so many students interested in participating in Book Club that we orga- nized into four groups: a fourth grade girls and boys’ club, and a 5-6 girls’ and boys’ club. Each group met bi-monthly to talk about the title they had read and enjoy a treat. Many thanks to Mrs. Boerger, Mrs. Rosenbauer and Mr. Huffman, who helped to facilitate the groups. At our final meeting in May, students will offer their suggestions for titles to read next year and they will get to choose their favorite book from this year to keep for their home library.

SUPERIOR On Friday, April 21st the Cory-Rawson High School Wind Ensemble performed at the State Large Group Adjudicated Event at Findlay HS. The band earned the honor of performing at the state level by earning a superior rating at the district level in March. At each of the large group adjudicated events there are four ad- judicators. Three adjudicators listen to the ensemble play three prepared selections and one of the adjudi- cators is in a separate room and evaluates the band's ability to sightread a piece that they've never seen be- fore. The band has three minutes to study the piece and Mrs. Davis has three minutes to instruct them on how to interpret the piece. Congratulations to the Wind Ensemble on receiving another overall superior rat- ing in Class B at the State Adjudicated Event! 15 2017 CR K-12 Art Show Winners High School

16 artwork (left) Findlay Art League Shows

Each Spring the Findlay Art League hosts its annual art shows for Hancock County’s School aged youth. It includes public schools, Findlay City Schools and homeschooled youth. It is di- vided into two shows, one for K-5th Grade and one for 6th-12th Grade. Only 2 students per grade level per school are allowed to be entered into the shows, so a student having artwork selected to be included is a high honor. The Art League invites a professional artist to jury the shows and choose award winners. We were fortunate to have several winners again this year. Congratulations to our students who had artwork selected from around 100 other participants!

26 Student Council / NHS Update In March, our NHS/NJHS sponsored the 7-12 Penny War to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society with excellent results! We raised $946, and Mrs. Belinda Lee’s class took first place and enjoyed an Olive Garden lunch as their reward. NJHS members are also working on cards and letters for Honor Flight Veterans as a service project.

Student Council helped to plan and facilitate the 30 Hour Famine on May 4th and 5th (left). A group of 20 students in grades 7-12 fasted for 30 hours, (12 for middle schoolers) and collected dona- tions for World Vision. The group ended the Famine with a lunch sponsored by Student Council on May 5th.

Student Council also planned the 7-12 Field Day for the after- noon of Wednes- day, May 10th (also see Organizations cover). Teams participated in a va- riety of outdoor games and activities and a Team Spirit award was given in addition to a trophy to the first place team. We also encouraged students to apply for membership for next year. This summer, we will plan a picnic for our new members to get to know each other and for us to formulate our group’s mission and goals.
