Local Hero!
Elijah Mead was recognized by the
Oregon City Council for his actions.
A Starr student was recognized
by City Council and the Oregon
Police Department in September
for making a very responsible decision. Elijah Mead came across
a gun while out and about in his
neighborhood. He immediately got
the help of an adult, and the gun
was safely removed from the area
and disposed of properly. Starr
School is very proud of Elijah for
realizing the potential danger of
this situation and for taking the
proper action.

Superintendent’s Message
Focus On The Common Core State Standards...
Big changes are on the horizon for
public schools in Ohio and around the
nation. Beginning in the 2014-2015
school year, student assessment will
be based according to a new set of
standards. New Common Core State
Standards (CCSS) have been adopted
by forty five states and represent the
most sweeping change in the history of
public education in America. The new
standards are significantly more rigorous and require students to perform at
a much higher level. To put it simply,
the new standards are a game changer!
An example of the increased level
of rigor is to compare a current kindergarten math standard to the Common
Core standard. Presently, kindergarten
students are expected to be able to count
to 20 and backwards from 10, and know
their shapes, colors and numbers. The
Common Core standard for kindergarten requires students to count to 100 by
1’s and 10’s, to count forward from any
given number 1-99, to compose and decompose numbers, to think abstractly,
to manipulate 2D and 3D shapes, and
to understand that 3+2 = 4+1. Expectations for student learning will be significantly increased at every grade level
in the academic core subject areas. As
you can see, the Common Core State
Standards are a big deal!
In anticipation
of the new Common Core State
Standards, the Oregon Schools have
been busy preparing teachers and
principals for the
transition
from
the current Ohio
Michael E. Zalar
Achievement Tests
Superintendent
to the Common
Core Assessment. The Race to the Top
(RttT) grant has provided professional
development funds for activities to assist teachers and principals in mapping
and aligning grade level curriculum to
the new Common Core standards. In addition, new teaching strategies are being adopted by teachers throughout the
district to better focus and standardize
their instruction.
The district is also considering the
possibility of re-configuring grades 5-8
in an effort to better meet the demands
of the new accountability system. The
Board of Education has been gathering
feedback from the community regarding
the potential reconfiguration of our two
middle schools into 5/6 and 7/8 buildings. The various Community Forums
conducted throughout the district have
provided an opportunity for parents
and community members to engage
in conversation with the board about
the benefits and challenges of restructuring. The questions and concerns
raised from the forums is an important
part of the information the district has
been collecting so they can make an informed decision based upon what is in
the best interests of the students.
These are exciting times for the
Oregon Schools. While school funding continues to be unstable, we have
reduced operating costs and improved
student achievement. This has happened because the community is supportive and because staff is committed
to making the sacrifices necessary to
ensure a high quality education for all
students. We have a great opportunity
to position our students for success as
we transition to the new Common Core
Standards. I am confident that together
we will rise to the challenge of preparing our children for college and career
readiness and for success in the 21st
century global economy. I look forward
to continuing our work together on our
“Journey towards Excellence.”

School Board President's Message
Oregon Schools Are Back!!!
P.J. Kapfhammer, President
Oregon Schools Board of Education
As a lifelong resident of Oregon
and as a proud graduate of Clay High
School, I am pleased to announce that
Oregon Schools are on the right path
to Excellence! The district has been
through some tough times with the
loss of tax revenue from state and local sources. Bad economic conditions
forced the district to make some difficult reductions in programs and services, although that is now in the past
as we move forward.
We as a district are excited about
the future of Oregon Schools. The community survey we conducted last spring
told us the community wants the Board
of Education to listen more and we are
doing exactly that! The Board conducted six Community Forums since school
began this year. Our meetings are more
open and transparent, and the board
encourages public participation. Every
decision we make is based on doing
what is right for your kids. This Board
of Education believes that the schools
belong to the community, and this
board is proud to represent the you!
I want the community to know
that we have great people working in
Board members: Front Row: Diana Gadus, Vice President; and Carol Molnar.
Back row: Jeff Ziviski; P.J. Kapfhammer, President; and Mike Csehi.
our schools, working hard every day to
make this district great! We are focusing on investing in the future of your
children. With community support,
the board is confident of establishing
the goal of Excellence! Oregon City
Schools belong to the Oregon community. The Board of Education is here to
work for you and thanks you for your
support!

New Teacher, Same Tradition
The Clay High School DECA Chapter participated in the I.A. Competition
at the University of Findlay on September 25. This was the students’ first
competition since being enrolled in the
marketing program. They participated
in a variety of competitive events. Eight
of the thirteen members were involved
in team management case studies. Each
team was given a scenario of a business
problem and worked together to solve
it. The teams presented their solutions
to a set of judges made up of college
professors and business experts. Two
other students went through the job
interview process and were judged on
how well they answered personality
questions and filled out an application.
The last three students competed in
practice competitions for running for a
state office.
“Since this was our first competition, I wasn’t expecting us to do as well
as we did. We all worked very hard and
earned all of the awards we received,”
DECA member Riley Shull said. DECA
members placed in the following areas:
• 1st Place
o Kyrie Amirol and Alexia Bryant in
Buying & Merchandising Team Event
o Tylor Brummett and Carly Calevro
in Sports Management Team Event
o Aaron Rizo in Parliamentary Law
o Todd Klewer in Public Relations
• 2nd Place
o Hanna Carr and Sydney McQueary
in Business Services Team Event
o Jenna McGrady and Riley Wasserman in Travel and Tourism Team
Event
• 4th Place
o Riley Shull in Public Relations
• 5th Place
o Brent Baker in Job Interview
This competition also helped prepare five students who then competed
at District Competition at Bowling
Green State University on October 5.
Recess Rocks!
Phase 2 of Starr's playground is
completed.
The 2nd phase of playground
equipment was installed at Starr
this summer! After waiting for the
mulch to arrive, the students are
loving the newest additions to the
playground. The completion of the
playground project was possible
due to Permanent Improvements
Funds and ongoing fundraisers
supported by the community. The
renovation of the playground is an
ongoing project.
The green and yellow playground equipment was purchased
in 1997 and has had many updates
over the years. Soon this structure
will need to be replaced. There is
also a need to update the swings on
the playground. Fundraising will
continue and renovations will occur as the budget allows.
Great Strides
During the month of October,
Coy Elementary students participated in an annual fundraiser for
the Cystitis Fibrosis Foundation
named “Great Strides.” The fundraiser increased awareness of the
disease and raised money for research to combat its debilitating effects. Students walked and jogged
for donations and also collected
loose change from friends and family. A total of over $900 was collected! Great effort, Coy students, and
good work!
The DECA IA Competition Team is pictured.
Jimmy Murphy and Brent Baker both
participated in the job interview event
and both received fourth place. Aaron
Rizo competed in Parliamentary Law,
where he gave a self-introductory oneminute speech, completed a test over
parliamentary procedure, and an interview, earning a fourth place award.
Todd Klewer and Riley Shull competed
in the public relations event. Both gave
a self-introductory one-minute speech,
created a press release, and completed a
test and interview. Ms. Vallie Robeson,
DECA advisor, was extremely pleased
with these final results. “I know that
the competition was tough and the students worked very hard. I couldn’t be
more pleased with their efforts. We
have had a great start to the year!”
Ms. Robeson is the new Marketing
Instructor at Clay High School. A Clay
Alumna, she is a 2002 graduate of the
Marketing Education Program and has
taken the place of her high school teacher Mrs. Anna Diekman, who worked at
Clay High School for thirty-one years,
retiring this past spring. Marketing student Jenna McGrady said, “I know she
has big shoes to fill, but I think she is
doing a great job. I can’t imagine the
amount of pressure she has on her, yet
she makes teaching us look easy. We
have fun in class and we learn a lot.
I’m glad that Ms. Robeson is our new
teacher.”
The first time that some of the students met their new teacher was on
their trip to Carrollton, Ohio, for Ohio
DECA Camp in July. Eight of the thirteen students enrolled in the Marketing Education Program attended camp,
where they were separated into different groups with other students from
schools all around Ohio. They partici-
DECA students competed at the District
competitions.
pated in team-building activities, developed leadership skills, and played
recreational sports in their free time.
“DECA camp was so much fun. I met
a lot of new people, and I found out
things about DECA that I didn’t know,”
Hanna Carr said.
The next event the students are
looking forward to is the Ohio DECA
Fall Leadership Conference in Columbus in November.
DECA prepares emerging leaders and
entrepreneurs in marketing, finance,
hospitality and management in high
schools and colleges around the globe.
It is a component of the Marketing Education Program at Clay High School for
seniors interested in careers in the business industry.

Eisenhower Eighth Graders Learn About Dating Violence
On Wednesday, October 3, the
eighth grade health classes at Eisenhower Middle School welcomed a guest
speaker from Victims Forum. She was
invited to the classes to talk about Teen
Dating Violence. Students watched a
DVD about how these relationships
sometimes get started and also how
they often escalate into violence. The
students were also given a handout on
the warning signs of abuse and contact
information. A great website for both
students and parents to begin this very
important discussion is www.cadv-
ohio.com and www.loveisnotabuse.
com. Please have the discussion with
your son/daughter about the dangers of
Abusive Relationships (before they begin dating).

Do You Know What Is Going On In Your Child’s School?
Oregon City Schools is working
hard to improve communication with
parents. As part of their efforts, they
have recently implemented Power Announcement, an automated communication tool which allows parents to
choose how they want to be contacted
for various types of district communications. Parents can choose to be contacted via text message, e-mail and/or
phone (cell or home) for each of the following types of messages: Emergency
Notifications, Student Bulletins, Attendance Notifications, School Cancellation Messages, and General Messages.
Power Announcement is tied directly
to the PowerSchool parent portal. The
district is confident overall communication will improve by allowing the
parent to choose which modes of communication are most convenient.
It has become evident to the district that traditional ways of communicating with parents are becoming
outdated and less effective. Therefore,
the district is using social media to
connect with the community. You can
like “Oregon City Schools” on FaceBook and follow “@ClayHS” on Twitter.
The district is simultaneously cutting
costs and improving communications.
Power Announcement replaces the old
automated attendance calling system at
roughly half the cost while the social
media outlets are free! Additionally,
the district is in the process of scaling back printed communications to
reduce printing costs and postage. As
part of this cost reduction strategy, the
district will continue its’ transition to
electronic grade cards. According to
Technology Director, Nathan Quigg,
“Schools have to change with the times
to make sure we are effectively sharing
information in ways our parents and
students utilize. Today’s society expects information as soon as it is available. Parents and students don’t want
to wait a week for us to print and mail a
gradecard when they can simply login
on their phone and get the information
instantly through PowerSchool.” The
same as last year, parents can sign up to
receive their student’s grades e-mailed
to them in the PowerSchool parent portal.
Parents love the online parent portal and the new iPhone apps, “PowerSchool for Parents” and “PowerSchool
for Students”! Access letters for Power
Announcement and the parent portal
were mailed home in September. In
the last two weeks of September, parents and students logged into the system almost 20,000 times. During that
time span, “over 60% of our students
had records checked by parents and/or
the student themselves” Quigg said.
The district needs to get the word out
to those who have not logged in. If a
parent did not receive a letter or needs
assistance getting their account setup, they should contact Linda Toth at
419-693-0661 x 3273 or via e-mail at
[email protected]. Parents and
students will undoubtedly be logging in
this week as Oct. 5 is the second grade
entry date of the quarter.

submitted their original artwork. Art-
work was selected based on suitability
for public display, original artwork, advanced work for student of this grade
level with regard to craftsmanship, design and composition, technical skills,
uniqueness and creativity, and a variety
of ages and Ohio regions. Tori’s work,
Kingston’s Art, was created last year,
and she is in the grades 5-8 division.
One student in this division will earn
a scholarship award. Tori will be honored at a “Meet the Artists” reception.

Geology students search for fossils at Oleander Park.
On October 12, thirty six CHS
geology students collected Devonian (375 million year old) fossils
from Fossil Park, which is part of
the Olander Park System in Sylvania, OH. The fossils are abundant
in the shale, or mudstone, slag piles
that are unusable by the limestone
quarry.
After that they traveled to Blue
Creek MetroPark in Waterville, to
see the old, working/farm jail made
from Devonian aged limestone, the
onsite quarry from which it was
excavated and glacial groves that
were on the property.
This was followed up by viewing the Oak Openings region, which
is the 22,000 year old beach of Lake
Erie. It was a rare opportunity to
see what kind of local geology exists in northwest Ohio.

Twenty-nine Clay High School Environmental & Agricultural Technologies students earned FIRST PLACE
TEAM in the District One FFA Agronomy Career Development Event held
recently at the Williams County Fairgrounds. One-hundred-seven students
from seven counties in northwest Ohio
participated in this competition.
These students were tested on
their ability to identify common crops
and vegetable plants and seeds, as well
as over 40 weeds common to Ohio,
insects, and plant diseases. They also
were tested on their knowledge of soil
conservation, plant fertility, insect and
disease control, and pesticide use.
Finally they completed a team activity which included determining plant
variety selection and fertilizer needs,
interpreting soil test results, selecting
appropriate pesticides, and determining expenses, returns, and potential
profit associated with growing a specific crop at a specific location.
The Clay High School students on
this team were:
Nick LaRue - FOURTH Place Individual, Morgan Bourdo - SIXTH Place
Individual, Amanda Tolliver - EIGHTH
Place Individual, and Javier Salazar NINTH Place Individual

used the knowledge they learned during class and after-school practices to
prepare for the competition, and to
prepare for college and careers relating
to botany, turf management, landscaping, entymology, soil science, conservation, pesticide application, environmental sciences, and wildlife management.
Honoring Veterans
Oregon/Northwood Rotary present
dictionaries to Coy third graders.
Third grade students throughout the Oregon school district can
thank the Oregon/Northwood Rotary Club for making sure they know
the word-of-the-day! Annually, the
Rotary presents every third grade
student in Oregon with a personalized dictionary for work at home,
and school, demonstrating the Rotary’s commitment to students, and
education. Coy’s presentation took
place on October 18. Coy’s heartfelt thanks go out to the Oregon/
Northwood Rotary for their continued support and generosity.
During the 2011-2012 school year,
many schools in the district held fundraisers to benefit the Honor Flight project of Northwestern Ohio. At Starr Elementary School, the fifth graders in
Mrs. Hook’s, Mrs. Lewis’, Mrs. Mitchell’s, and Mrs. Nadolny’s classes collected pennies to contribute toward the
memory books given to the veterans going to Washington, D.C. to visit the war
memorials.
Along with the donations toward
the memory books, each student wrote
a letter to a veteran, which incorporated the writing process used in the 5th
grade curriculum. Final copies were
written on patriotic themed stationary
and expressed the students’ appreciation for each veteran’s service to our
country. A representative from the pro-
Fassett 6th graders Jaron Henry and

gram then hand-delivered the letters to
the veterans at a breakfast held on the
morning of their flight. Two veterans,
Robert Fuller and Thomas Schroeder,
both Army Veterans of the Korean War
serving the 24th Infantry Division, received letters. They were so moved by
the letters written by current Fassett
6th graders Madison Curavo and Jaron
Henry that they took the letters with
them on the trip. Pictures of the veterans holding their letters were delivered
back to the two students this September, bringing the connection between
student and veteran full circle.

Coy
students
get hooked
on reading.
The staff at Coy Elementary wants the student body to “Go Wild
For Reading.” That was the theme of this year’s annual Right to Read
week, and students took part in all types of events to help get them
hooked on books. Fostering a love of reading helps a child’s academic skills and introduces them to new and exciting worlds. Every day,
students participated in DEAR time or drop-everything-and-read.
On Monday, kids went bananas for reading by munching on a
banana while enjoying a book, and later got up close and personal
with some entertaining Rain Forest friends. During an assembly,
they enjoyed the antics of a monkey who could play dead and a
talking bird. Tuesday’s agenda included a visit from the Toledo Zoo.
More daring students had the chance to pet an alligator!
On Thursday, everyone brought their favorite stuffed animal to
read to - less daring, but more cuddly! Guest readers from the administration building joined in the fun, entertaining classes with a
good story.
The week concluded with a visit from the author of “Critters,
Flitters and Spitters: 24 Amazing Ohio Animal Tales.” Mr. Rich Sowash spent the day at Coy School talking about his experiences as a
writer and sharing his knowledge about Ohio’s awesome creatures.
Thanks to everyone for their work in organizing a week of reading fun! Read on!

alarm sounds. A highlight of the week
was a visit to the Fire Safety bounce
house and a tour of a fire truck. Starr
students and staff thank the Oregon
Fire Department and Cleaner and Dryer
for sponsoring this event. The kids
learned many beneficial lessons which
will keep them and their families safe
for years to come.
"Super U" Assemblies
The Super U! Challenge (Super
YOU!) came to Oregon City Schools in
October. Coy, Jerusalem and Starr were
treated to an action-packed assembly
that promoted a bully-free school environment by encouraging students to
build positive character traits and identify (and stop!) bullying behavior. Being
a Super You is all about being your own
“personal super hero” and letting your
best traits shine – at school and at home.
The Super U! Challenge was designed after exciting children’s game
shows from T.V., such as “Minute to
Win It.” During the 45-minute show,
contestants from the audience were invited to take part in imaginative, funny, and wacky interactive challenges
that involve oversized props, creative
costumes, and yes…even some slime!
Each exciting challenge was
based around a specific message
about bullying and positive character traits that reinforced what students hear in school. The fast-paced
format and a hilarious show host ensured that all grade levels had fun!
Students were able to participate in
the show – and as soon as they saw the
wild challenges, there was never any

shortage of eager volunteers. In addition to helping kids identify bullying
behavior and encouraging positive char-

promoted teamwork, good sportsmanship, and cooperation among students.

Erek Hansen, age 12, a student
at Eisenhower Middle School, has
been chosen as the winner of the
2012-2013 Nicholas Green Distinguished Student Award given by
the Ohio Association for Gifted
Children (OAGC). He attended
a luncheon on October 15 at the
2012 OAGC Conference at the Hilton-Easton in Columbus. This is an
exceptional honor. There is only
one student selected to represent
the state of Ohio each year. Erek is
currently a 7th grade student in the
Oregon City School District.
The Nicholas Green Distinguished Student Award Program
was launched by NAGC in 1996
with a contribution by Reg and
Maggie Green, of Bodega Bay, California, in honor of the memory of
their seven-year-old son Nicholas,
who was killed in a drive-by shooting while visiting Italy in 1994. The
Greens donated the savings from
their son’s college fund with a request that NAGC create a program
to support the accomplishments of
bright children who were approximately Nicholas’s age at the time of
his death. With this lump sum contribution of $15,000 (and another
$5,000 in 2005), NAGC created
the Nicholas Green Distinguished
Student Award Program, which
recognizes the accomplishments of
one child in each state, each year.
These students must demonstrate
excellence in visual or performing arts, academic achievement, or
leadership.
Erek was nominated in the
spring by his 6th grade Language
Arts teacher, Mrs. Leigh Ann Kesling. Erek was nominated because
of his superior leadership abilities
and initiative. He has been collecting denim for recycling since
2009 and to date has collected over
13,000 pairs of denim. Additionally, he is collecting shoes for recycling and hoping to reach another
Guinness World Record. Mrs. Kesling stated, “Erek serves as an outstanding role model to young people who want to make a difference.
He has found his passion at such
a young age that he inspires me to
help other students find theirs.”
The National Association for
Gifted Children (NAGC) is an organization of parents, teachers,
educators, other professionals, and
community leaders who unite to
address the unique needs of children and youth with demonstrated
gifts and talents as well as those
children who may be able to develop their talent potential with appropriate educational experiences.

skills.
3: Practicing
bus safety.
Jerusalem kindergarten students got
a “jump-start” on kindergarten life the
week of August 13-17. Teachers rode
the bus along with the students to help
teach them about bus safety, and to
feel more comfortable overall. In the
classroom, students enjoyed activities working on fine motor skills while
learning about classroom and school
rules. The JumpStart program allowed
students to become familiar with classroom routines and building procedures
in a more relaxed atmosphere.
A big thank you again to BP/Husky
for the financial support to support and
continue this successful program for
another year!

$ Jog-A-Thon $
Top left: Jerusalem joggers racking up some
miles.
Bottom left: Top joggers were awarded gift
cards.
The Jerusalem Parents Group held its 3rd
Annual Jog-a-Thon fundraiser on Friday, October
12. Started by Melissa
Lammers, this schoolwide event involved students grades K-5, as well
as many dedicated volunteers and staff members. The goal of this
fundraiser was to promote physical fitness,
teamwork, and healthy
competition, while raising money to benefit
Jerusalem Elementary.
Of the funds donated,
100% will be used for
the school. This year’s
monies are slated for additional equipment for
the library, as well as
various events and supplies. The students had
a lot of fun getting outside and showing their
school spirit during this
worthwhile fundraiser.

Clay High School
would especially like
to thank the American
Legion Christ Dunberger Post 537 for working
to raise the funding that
sponsored Clay High
School’s students and
for organizing a dinner
for all the participants
and their parents.

Jerusalem Elementary students got an introduction to cross country running this year by joining the Jets Running Club coached by Jeremiah
Przybylski. This group was open to all students
in grades 2-5, and met every Tuesday and Thursday morning before school for the first quarter.
In all, we had 55 students participating. Most of
those students took part in at least one of a series
of three cross country race events sponsored by
the Lake Young Runners, which is an elementary
cross country group out of Lake Schools. An additional focus of training was to prepare for the
Eastside Turkey Trot 5K run on Thanksgiving Day.
The kids are training hard right now to prepare for
this final event to complete the season.
