By Mrs. WeimerVocalists from Jr. High Cho-
rus participated in the NYSSMA Zone 1 Area All-State Chorus in early November. The festival was hosted by Frontier High School in Hamburg. Representing RCS were Rachel VanRensselaer, Bethany Durow, John Brown and Marcus Miller.
Sr. High Area All-State was at SUNY Fredonia. Representing RCS was Jeffrey Nagle and Mrs. Weimer was the chairperson of this year’s festival for the NYSSMA Mixed Chorus ensemble.
Students in each group per-formed in a 200+ member chorus with students from 75 schools lo-cated in Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, Erie and Niagara counties. Stu-dents must audition in the spring to be eligible for this honor. They are selected based on scores from those auditions. Practices are held Friday night and Saturday during the weekend of the festival ending with a fabulous concert on Saturday afternoon. Well done musicians!
Selected for Jr. High Area All-State Chorus were: (l-r) Rachel VanRensselaer, Bethany Durow, John Brown and Marcus Miller.
Chosen for Sr. High Area All-State Chorus was Jeffrey Nagle.

By Mrs. ShawIn October and November the Cattaraugus County Health Department invited several of our middle school students to attend
the Houghton Ropes Course. Attending the overnight camp for girls were Abigail Matteson, Makayla Miller and Brianna Ash-down. Dante Harrigan, Joe Holdridge, Holldan Martonis and Dakota Harmon attended the day camp for boys.
The ropes course is a set of ground and climbing obstacles that can be very diffi cult and challenging. In order to complete it students must reach outside their comfort zone to give new ideas a try. The ground activities require a lot of teamwork while the individual climbing activities require much trust and faith in yourself. Students must also be able to communicate well with others and set attainable goals. The camp is also a place to make new friends. Much time is spent during the weekend getting to know each other through various activities such as making dessert together, storytelling or spending the night in a lean-to.
Overall, this camp is a great place to learn about yourself and what you can do when you put your heart and soul into it! A special thanks goes out to Makayla Miller for help with this article and Tara Leonard from the Cattaraugus County Health De-partment for organizing a fantastic weekend for our students!
We’re pleased to share some exciting news about a new fundraising program for our organization. It’s called “scrip”, and it’s the fundraising program that works while you shop.
Scrip is simply a word that means “substitute money” – in other words, scrip is gift certifi cates from national and local retailers. They’re the same gift certifi cates that you buy at the store. Many popular retailers participate in our scrip program including JCPenney, The Gap, Shell, Pizza Hut, Red Lobster and many, many others.
You’re probably asking yourself how these stores help us raise money. It’s simple -- scrip participating retailers agree to sell gift certifi cates to our organization at a discount. Member families like yours
buy the certifi cates for full face value, they redeem them for full face value, and our school keeps the difference as revenue. And scrip is exciting, because everybody wins:
The retailer gets cash up front and repeat business…
You get a powerful fundraising alter-native that involves no selling…
Our school gets a regular source of revenue.
The beauty of scrip is that you put your regular household shopping dollars to work. You earn money for our school without spending a single additional penny. Just spend your regular shopping dollars with scrip at the stores that partici-
pate in the scrip program! And scrip can be used for just about any household pur-chase including food, clothing, entertain-ment, gasoline and even dining out.
The Hilltop scrip program promises to be a simple and effective fundraising program. Thanks for your support, please check the school website for more infor-mation to follow.
Sincerely,
Michele Swan

Bullying at RCS? Food for ThoughtBy Mary Rockey, Ph.D., BCBA, Director of Pupil ServicesWith all of the headlines regarding school bullying, one has to
ask “Does it happen at Randolph?” The answer is unfortunately “yes”. Four times this past week, I sat with students who were bullied or who were bullying students. When asked why, most students will tell you that they don’t know why they chose a certain student to pick on. But when you look at the underlying reasons, almost every single time, it is because a child thinks that someone is different from him. I often wonder why, as a society, we seem to hone in on our differences. We all have the same general confi guration of our bodies; two eyes, two ears, etc. We are all thinking beings. We all want to be accepted. Yet for some strange reason, we look at someone who is just a tiny bit different than us and make a big deal of it.
What exactly is bullying? Education.com says: (http://www.education.com/special-edition/bullying/school-
bullying/)• Bullying is an intentional act. The child who bullies wants
to harm the victim; it is no accident.• Bullying involves repeated occurrences. Bullying is not
generally considered a random act or a single incident. Rather, a child is repeatedly picked on by another child or is the target of harassment from a whole group of children. It is the repeated nature of bullying that causes anxiety and apprehension in victims, such that the anticipation of bully-ing becomes as problematic as the bullying itself.
• Bullying is characterized by a power difference; an unfair fi ght where the child who bullies has some advantage or power over the child who is victimized. Bullying is not the same as “playing around,” it is about the abuse of power.
I see this in the school when a child isn’t as good at a par-ticular sport, or may need a little extra help in reading. Maybe
someone doesn’t speak as clearly as another child or needs to have extra help in math. But don’t we all have certain things that we are really good at, and certain things we could do better? I can play a fairly good rendition of a Bach Intervention, but I can’t do an oil change on my car. Should that make me the target of bullying?
What can we do? A longitudinal study in Colorado schools found that “positive adult-student relationships and a school culture of trust and fairness not only reduce bullying, but also are linked to schools with better student achievement. Students who reported a sense of belonging in school, and who said the staff treated them fairly and with respect were signifi cantly less likely to report bullying others and more likely to ask adults to intervene in bullying situations. They told evaluators that bullying occurred less when students trusted teachers and other adults, and felt that the school was responsive to their needs”. (http://www.education.com/refer-ence/article/positive-adult-student-relationships/?page=2)
We, therefore, as the adults in the lives of our students, need to model the behavior we want children to exhibit. Do we see each child in our class, or on our sports team, or in our brownie troop as a valued member of the group? Do we look for opportuni-ties to help those who struggle gain value? Do we point out the similarities and celebrate the differences in our children? Please talk to your children about this at home. If your child is a victim, talk to him about his options. If you sense your child may be the bully, talk to her about how to treat others and what you expect. And let the adults here at school know there’s a problem so that we can help.
As always, we welcome your thoughts and opinions. Contact any administrator or your child’s teacher if you want to talk about this topic.
On September 24, 2010, The Hill Brother’s Band visited Randolph Central School to kick off the new school year with an Anti-Bullying message with students in Grades 4-9.
The Hill Brothers provided an uplifting musical celebration packed with singing, humor and great messages about bullying in school. Students were empowered to take a stand against bullying in all of its forms as they chanted “There’s No Place For Bullies in Our School!”
Special attention was also given to techniques for responding to bullying situa-tions, both as a victim AND as a bystander.

Workshops were held on how to plan a program of activi-ties, involve all members and work as a team. Kristen and Amelia are shown with Brandon the State FFA reporter and Brit-tany, District 8 president.
Thirty-three members of the FFA trav-eled to Alfred State College for the annual Agricultural Skills contests.
Students participated in either a Stock-man’s contest; judging dairy, identi-fying breeds,answering questions on farm management, identifying crops, seeds and tools and evaluat-ing hay and corn samples; trac-tor driving - completing a tractor knowledge test and driving through a course with a 2 wheel wagon; or Companion and small animal care where they were quizzed on proper handling techniques, anatomy and physiology, breed identifi cation and vet tech tools. Complete results are not yet available.
Kassandra Erdmann, Amelia Neal, Josh Draves and Ashton O’Brien of the Randolph FFA travelled to Cornell on a Saturday
in November to take part in a leadership training hosted by the Cornell collegiate FFA . They attended workshops on tackling Tome, opportunities in the FFA, Etiquette for the plugged in Gen-eration, Finding your Strength and perfect Solutions. To wrap up the day, they were treated to a Cornell - Dartmouth football game.

As part of a required heath examination, a student is weighed and his/her height is measured. These numbers are used to fi gure out the student’s body mass index or “BMI”. The BMI helps the doctor or nurse know if the student’s weight is in a healthy range or is too high or too low. Recent changes to the New York State Education Law require that BMI and weight status group be included as part of the student’s school health examination. A sample of school districts will be selected to take part in a survey by the New York State Department of Health. Our school is selected to take part in a survey. We will be reporting to New York State Department of Health information about our students’ weight status groups. Only summary information is sent. No names and no information about individual students are sent. However, you may choose to have your child’s information excluded from this report.
Grades included in this report will be this year’s K, 1st, 3rd, 5th, 8th and 11th.If you do not wish to have your child’s weight status group information
included as part of the Health Department’s survey this year, please print and sigh your name below and return this from to:

Early Dismissal for EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT DRILL
Thursday, December 23Elementary - 11:20 a.m. High School - 11:30 a.m.
All too often, when we look for ways to become involved we can have diffi culty fi nd-ing the right “fi t”. We ask ourselves, will I have the time? Do I have the knowledge? How can I make a difference?
We, in the CSE offi ce are looking for volunteers in several different areas and perhaps one of these will be right up your alley.
First, we are in need of folks to serve as surrogate parents. The role of a surrogate parent is to act in a child’s best interest in special education if the parent cannot be located. This has never really happened because we always know where our parents and guardians can be found, but in the event that a child would end up in Randolph, need special education services, and have absolutely no one to act in their best interest, a sur-rogate parent is required by state law.
Qualifi cations include:You cannot be an employee or agent of our district or of the State Education
DepartmentYou shall have no other interest that would confl ict with you allegiance to the
student you would representYou attend a training to enhance your skills and knowledge so that you can
adequately represent the childYou would be approved by the Board of Education and your name would be placed
on a list of surrogate parents to be used if we have a student who has no one to represent them.
Second, we are in need of folks to serve as parent members on our Committee on Special Education and our Preschool Committee on Special Education. The role of a parent member is to assist parents when their child begins the process of special edu-cation. Like surrogate parents, a parent member is a required part of the initial CSE meeting. If you have experienced a CSE meeting, you know that it can be a bit daunting for a parent the fi rst time. The parent member helps to ease this feeling. Having been through the experience, a parent member knows, fi rst hand, what a parent is feeling. The commitment would be less than a few hours a few times each year.
Qualifi cations include:You have a child who is currently receiving services or who has received special
education services in the last three years.You attend a training to enhance your skills and knowledge so that you feel
comfortable advocating with parents.So, if either of these volunteer opportunities is the right “fi t” for you, please contact
the CSE offi ce at 358-7034 or 358-7033 for more information. We look forward to hear-ing from you.
CSE office seeks volunteers who want to make a difference
Academic Fair may be go-ing digital! Our students will be moving towards 21st cen-tury skills and showing our community their enthusiasm to learn with passion, innova-tion, and leadership! Look for more information soon, or contact the Academic Chair-person, Ms. Addie Albano in the high school.
