Box 36 Pulaski, WI 54162 Phone: (920) 822-6053 Email: [email protected] Website: www.pulaskipace.org Director: Mark Heck Phone: (920) 822-6051 Email: [email protected] Assistant: Sue Wheeler Assistant: Rachel Setliff Welcome Welcome to Pulaski Summer School 2017. We are excited to kick off another great year of summer school in the Pulaski Community School District. We have been busy planning this year’s summer school and are happy to again have many of our popular class offerings, as well as new programs our families and students will enjoy. In Pulaski, we feel we offer the best summer school experience in Wisconsin because we have excellent teachers, great classes, great facilities and a recreation program that keeps our students active and engaged in learning! As always, Pulaski’s Summer School is built on flexibility. Students have the option of enrolling in one class or taking a full day of classes, as well as staying for our afternoon Red Raider Recreation (RRR) program. From the Superintendent Greetings! I hope that you are each enjoying a successful, #RaiderStrong school year. While there are still months of learning and growth to enjoy this school year, it is also time to begin thinking about opportunities to continue learning and growing through summer school. Our PCSD summer school staff have been busy planning and preparing and have an outstanding program with innovative new offerings as well as some of your favorites and are eagerly awaiting the summer school season! We look forward to sharing exciting learning experiences with you in the coming months. In order to make summer school accessible to all students, we will again provide busing from the outlying elementary schools to Summer School sites during each term. We are pleased to continue offering breakfast and lunch to all school aged students! Stay tuned for more information on our options for breakfast and lunch during the summer, brought to you by our district food service department. New this year is a one-day adult summer school! I am thrilled to have the opportunity to both teach and learn through these offerings! I hope that you’ll consider joining me! You can find more information on this new program on page 51. I encourage you to explore all that the Pulaski Community School District has to offer families throughout Red Raider Country. I look forward to seeing you at Summer School 2017! Bec Kurzynske Superintendent Follow me on Twitter @beckurzynske #RaiderStrong From the Director Dear Summer School Families, Continue to think warm thoughts, Summer School will soon be here. The program will move back to the Middle School this year. Early Childhood, 4K and 5K programs will again be at Lannoye. The future of summer school in Wisconsin seems very bright. We have had some changes from the state that have gone into effect and will positively affect us. There is a possibility of many more positive changes to come in the near future. The one change that everyone will notice is summer school can now be offered 24 hours a day. In the past, we were limited to 4.5 hours per day. The one actual change I will talk about on page 7 is for Red Raider Rec. Starting in July you will notice a drastic decrease in the cost of RRR. Enjoy the sites and sounds of new life this spring. Soon summer school will be here before you know it. See you June 12th.

Please be sure to familiarize yourself with these changes, as we will have to adhere to them to keep our program running smoothly. This year the majority of Summer School classes will take place at Pulaski Community Middle School (PCMS). Reading & Math Workshop will be held at PHS in the Social Studies Pod. Swimming lessons and RRR will be held at PCMS. Getting Ready for 4K and Getting Ready for Kindergarten will be held at Lannoye Elementary. All Summer School swimming lesson fees must be paid to PACE at the Summer School Office. Please do not pay these fees at the pool. ****NEW THIS YEAR***NEW THIS YEAR****NEW THIS YEAR***NEW THIS YEAR**** WATCH IT HAPPEN RRR-------->Afternoon Á la Carte There are many proposed changes coming from the DPI in regards to summer school. The state would like to see more districts run a program similar to ours in Pulaski. Much research shows a slide in student performances from May to September. I think common sense would tell us that 3 months without a structured classroom setting would, at minimum, halt the growth of a child’s educational base. Taking six weeks of enrichment classes helps keep math and reading skills sharp for most students and some may even see increases. In the past, the state has only allowed summer school to be offered for 4.5 hours per day. Now we can offer summer

  • The Negotation Between Agency and Admiration in the Disney Fan
    THE PLEASURE IN PARADOX: THE NEGOTIATION BETWEEN AGENCY AND ADMIRATION IN THE DISNEY FAN COMMUNITY Alissa Butler A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2021 Committee: Radhika Gajjala, Advisor Emily Freeman Brown Graduate Faculty Representative Bradford Clark Rob Sloane © 2021 Alissa Nicole Butler All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Radhika Gajjala, Advisor With one of the largest and most dedicated fan bases, the Disney Company enjoys a strong following with adults. A portion of these fans purposefully and pointedly incorporate the Disney brand into their everyday lives making it their chosen lifestyle. Through social media, they have formed a tight knit community that, for many, has become the nexus of their social lives. Disney fandom, however, is not so straightforward and fans face conflicting pressures as Disney, their fellow fans, and their own personal desires attempt to influence their behaviors and fan practices. Disney pressures fans to unquestioningly promote it, consume as much of its products as possible, and to convince others to do the same. The fan community gatekeeps what it means to be a Disney fan and pressures fans to conform to social norms that can suppress individual expression. Fans themselves want to be completely dedicated to both Disney and their community but simultaneously independent and uninfluenced by both. Rather than choosing any one influence, they find a way to accommodate all parties by situating themselves in a paradox that enables them to continue being fans. They are both independent from and dependent upon Disney, they keep community unity through rejection and angst, and they are able to be better community members and Disney fans by pursuing their own self-interests.

The bunker: mentality, materiality and metaphor Luke Bennett* Department of the Built Environment, Sheffield Hallam University, Sheffield, U.K. The image of the ‗bunker‘ has a deep resonance in contemporary organisational discourse, This paper seeks to explore the link between this metaphor and the materiality of the bunker as an actual place. The Twentieth Century origins of the bunker lie within the rise of aerial bombardment. The bunker, as a structure, is a triumph of function over form, yet it somehow also resonates at a symbolic level – either by invocation of the abject circumstances of Hitler‘s final days in his Berlin bunker or in the celluloid imaginings of the nuclear command bunker during the Cold War.

  • Is What We Say at Home: Code-Switching--A Potent Tool for Reducing the Achievement Gap in Linguistically Diverse Classrooms
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 461 877 CS 217 828 AUTHOR Wheeler, Rebecca S.; Swords, Rachel TITLE "My Goldfish Name Is Scaley" Is What We Say at Home: Code-Switching--A Potent Tool for Reducing the Achievement Gap in Linguistically Diverse Classrooms. PUB DATE 2001-11-00 NOTE 16p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the National Council of Teachers of English (91st, Baltimore, MD, November 15-20, 2001). PUB TYPE Reports Evaluative (142) Speeches/Meeting Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Achievement; Applied Linguistics; Classroom Communication; Classroom Research; *Code Switching (Language); *Diversity (Student); Ethnography; Grade 3; Inner City; *Language Patterns; Primary Education; *Standard Spoken Usage; Teacher Researchers IDENTIFIERS Virginia ABSTRACT Correctionist models of error, problem, and omission presume that Standard English (SE) is the sole language variety of America. America's classrooms, however, are neither culturally nor linguistically monolithic. Instead, they are diverse, and current teaching metaphors do not reflect the linguistic and cultural realities of the classrooms. This paper offers a path through which the linguistic and cultural diversity of American classrooms may be affirmed, all the while assuring that children learn to command Standard English, a key tool required for full participation in the broader society. The paper tracks the story of Rachel's (the second author) journey as a third grade language arts teacher, showing how she moved from a correctionist to a contrastivist model of the language arts classroom. In doing so, the paper first presents evidence that the achievement gap Rachel witnesses in her own classroom and school is seen not only around her state of Virginia, but throughout the nation, across decades.
