Memories of Tuscarora Indian School By Sixth grade…

As we come to a close of our 2013-14 school year I want to thank parents, grandparents and

guardians for working together to support our school. I am so proud of all the graduates and I

look forward to our celebration tonight. I am hopeful that our sixth grade class will take the

wisdom and knowledge they learned at Tuscarora School and achieve their dreams as they move

through ETMS and the High School. Please know that I believe in all students. Tuscarora School

is here to support dreams and we are here to help students achieve their goals. Tonight at 6 PM

we will create memories as we honor our 6th grade graduates, High School graduates, and College

Graduates.

I wish our graduates at all levels the very best in life. We shared many great times

together so now that everyone is moving on I wish all students courage because courage

is when you are able to take the next step in your life. My advice… never give up … find a

purpose in life and set goals. You can do anything you put your mind to.

Thank you to Dr. Darryl Tonemah for hosting Awakening the Ordinary Miracle of Healing

sessions for faculty, staff, parents and the community. Dr.Tonemah hosted day and evening

sessions giving insight on how to cope with stress and/or trauma. The sessions helped everyone

develop tools to empower kids to a healthier future. I am so thankful for Darryl’s wisdom and

enthusiasm. We have incorporated many techniques from the book Trauma Through a Child’s

Eyes – Awakening the Ordinary Miracle of Healing into our school day. I highly encourage

parents to read the book by Peter Levine and Maggie Kline. Dr. Tonemah’s time spent at

Tuscarora School has helped many people over the past three months. I am hopeful Darryl will

be back to work with us next year.

Summer School registration forms are available so please get your forms in early. We have one

bus this summer so the earlier you sign up the better.

Parents … Engage NY has a new, improved website so please visit www.Engageny.org it is a

wonderful resource.

From EngageNY…A critical component of a student’s success in school is dependent on what and

how they learn at home. The Toolkit for Parents and Families in EngageNY.org is a collection of

materials and resources that will help parents and families understand the New York State

education reform initiatives and how the changes will help your child graduate from high school

ready for college and careers. We encourage parents and families to use these tools in

conjunction with resources and information you receive from your child’s school and teachers. We

will continue to build upon this toolkit as we receive feedback from educators and families.

We have a full day of school tomorrow, Friday, June 20th and a full day on Monday, June 23rd

followed by three half days. Our last day of school is Thursday, June 26th at 11:30 AM.

Shoot for the Moon From: Nurse Marilyn

It’s easy to recognize our children’s gifts & get excited &

involved in developing them. Since it is so much fun to see the

progress our kids can make isn’t it strange that the same optimism about developing a

new skill or finding a gift doesn’t always spill over to us?

Maybe one reason is that when we look at a child, we see nothing but a blank slate,

ready to be filled with whatever outrageous & exaggerated dreams they can think up.

Anything is possible. As we get older our slate is no longer clean –we have

“responsibilities” and “obligations” that leave no room for larger than life dreams. We

foster the belief that if we can’t have it all, it’s not worth trying.

What a shame and a waste!! If we were limited to the gifts & talents we developed as

children, many of us would never discover the wonderful things in store for us. Anna

Mary Robertson (also known as Grandma Moses) never even picked up a paintbrush

until she was in her mid seventies. The year before she died, at 101 years old, she

painted 25 pictures. What a loss it would have been if she had decided she had too

many things preventing her from fulfilling her dream!

Sadly, that’s what many people much younger than Grandma Moses believe…when in

reality, the possibilities for them are limited only by their own self-made barriers.

During the next few weeks challenge yourself to break the pattern of self destruction.

You have built in role models in your kids to observe & emulate –really watch how their

excitement, zest for life and their built in desire to excel propel them to unlimited

possibilities. Then, try to harness even a little of that enthusiasm into your own quest

to achieve your goals and dreams. True, with your busy life you may not attain

everything you desire immediately. But the results are bound to be better than the

status quo! After all, as Les Brown reminds us, it’s always better to “Shoot for the

moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars!”

3 Summer Safety Tips for Kids (by Maria Trimarchi)

Help keep your kids safe by following these summer safety tips.

The National Safe Kids Campaign estimates that every year, one in four kids ages 14 and younger will sustain an injury that requires medical attention. Forty percent of all injury-related emergency room visits and 42 percent of all injury deaths happen between May and August, they report, but it's not all bad news. We can keep kids free from about 90 percent of these accidents by educating ourselves and our kids on how to stay safe while still enjoying summer vacation

POOL SAFETY

They don't hang those "No running!" signs poolside for decoration. According to SafeKids, in 2006 more than 3,700 kids younger than 5 years old were injured in near-drowningincidents, and every year, more than 830 kids ages 14 and younger die due to unintentional drowning.

It should go without saying but we'll say it anyway: Never leave kids alone near the pool, no matter what their ages or swim capabilities are. Parents can and should take precautions around home pools, in addition to closely supervising kids while they swim. Installing fencing around pools, at least 5-feet high, all the way around and with a self-closing, self-latching gate, can prevent 50 to 90 percent of accidental drowning incidents. Pool and gate alarms -- they alert you to when the pool water becomes agitated and when the gate is opened -- add another layer of protection.

PLAYGROUND SAFETY

More than 205,000 kids visit emergency rooms with playground-related injuries every year, estimates the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Many of these injuries could be prevented with a little precaution and adult supervision.

Check the playground equipment before letting kids play on it. For example, surfaces that are too hot can cause burns, and loose ropes -- ropes that aren't secured on both ends -- can cause accidental strangulation. The ground should be covered in a protective surface such as rubber mats, wood or rubber mulch or wood chips, never grass, asphalt or concrete. The right surface materials could reduce the risk of head injury or other severe injury in the event of a fall.

Also, be sure that your child's clothing is playground-friendly: Remove any strings, such as those on hoodies, only let them wear closed-toed shoes at play and avoid clothing that is loose enough to catch on equipment.

SUN PROTECTION

According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, getting one blistering sunburn when you're a kid doubles your chances of developing melanoma.

Regardless of age and skin type (whether or not you burn easily), the American Academy of Dermatology recommends that everyone, adults and kids alike, apply a water-resistant sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays every day of the year. Yes, even in winter and on cloudy days. Choose a sunscreen that is at least SPF 30 and apply it 15 to 30 minutes before going outside.

When using sunscreen, apply as much as would fill a shot glass -- and if you're using both sunscreen and insect repellent, apply sunscreen first and then repellent.

We’ve

Doing

As we have continued to explore with

perimeter (the distance around a shape),

the students had fun with our square tile

manipulatives. We worked to see how many

rectangles we could make with an area of a

given number. Then, we calculated the

perimeter of each rectangle to see how

the perimeters varied.

I’d like to take a moment to thank all

of the third graders for helping me to

have such a wonderful first year at

Mr. Schiffert Çwé:øn nwane:ruø aske:nè hè? Naheøúøy awúhsteh çaøúhshèø yunúkt! Another year is almost over! It’s hard to believe how fast it goes by. We’ll be saying, “Èßkekèø.” to our 6th grade students very soon. There is also summer school at Tuscarora where the theme will incorporate gardening. Our 5th and 6th grades have planted 3 plots. The “3 Sisters” garden is to the west of the school in 2 separate plots. We have the rare Tuscarora Red Flour corn growing there. It’s about 8 inches high so far. Well on its way to being “knee high by the 4th of July”. There is, however, something taking bites out of our young corn stalks! We need to put a stop to that. We now have our heirloom Iroquois beans sprouting near the corn as well. Each 3 Sisters garden has a winter squash plant (or 2) growing in the middle as well, to complete the agricultural partnership. 5th grade is planting the pole beans now that our corn is tall enough to support their vines. 6th grade has planted the garden plot in front of the school. They chose a wide variety of crops to plant. We have Potato Beans, Turnips, Beets, Swiss Chard, Watermelons and a Winter Squash (Delicata). We will also plant some Sunflowers as well. The 3rd plot is a pole bean only garden by the fence. Look for the poles! All beans here are Iroquois beans as well. 5th and 6th have both worked on this plot. All 3 gardens will need weeding over the summer. Feel free to stop by anytime & enjoy spending time in the gardens!

Summer is Coming and School is Ending

Another academic year is drawing to an end quickly…

As always it has been a pleasure to teach the young people of Tuscarora. Students have worked hard and demonstrated a desire to learn our history and culture.

I would like to give a special nyá:wè to our Edward Town Middle School students Jessa, Brier,

Wile, Greg, and Clint who chose to continue their cultural education by voluntarily coming back to Tuscarora each week. We enjoyed reading Eric Gansworth’s tenth publication If I

Ever Get Out of Here.

We did a lot of extra things this year such as going to the historic Seneca site Ganondagan. We watched the re-enactment of LaSalle’s visit to Ganondagan. We prepared for the visit by

reading primary documents recording the historic event.

Students wrote letters to the future one hundred years from now as part of a time capsule buried at the War of 1812 monument in Lewiston. Fifth grade students were featured on the

front cover of the Lewiston paper THE SENTINEL holding their letters to the future.

This year’s yearbook was a collaborative effort between Language and Culture to bring Tuscarora’s history of helping the Lewiston people fleeing for their lives from the British at a

cost of having our homes burned.

We enjoyed visits from Neil of the Tuscarora Environmental Program on spearing, fishing, and our waterways in grade three.

Nyá:wè to Tim McKie, Eli and Lena Rickard for rototilling our garden once more. The garden

has been planted and we look forward to the fall harvest.

Have a safe, healthy and enjoyable summer. Hope to see everyone at our National Picnic, Border Crossing, Six Nations Pow-Wow, lacrosse games and all of the activities we enjoy.
