Shining Star Scholarships

Pile Up for Seniors

Coming up with a way to pay for a student’s college education is not an easy task. Earning a scholarship can certainly sweeten the process, whether it is for an amount to cover the cost of books or a full ride – every bit helps.

Franklinton High School senior Hannah Kienow is a standout student but was beginning to think her family was going to have to some-how find a way to fund her way to a quality university to pursue her dream to major in zoology. That all changed drastically after Kienow learned she received not

W hen done correctly, teaching is

one of the most demand-ing jobs on the planet.

Maintaining a passion to teach over an ex-tended period can be even more difficult, but that doesn’t stop Kim Pace, 2010-2011 Frank-lin County Schools Teacher of the Year, from continuing to push for-ward and help children learn and progress.

The 30-year Bunn High veteran was humbled by the award.

Students at 106 North Carolina elementary schools will have more access to fresh fruits and vegeta-bles during the school day next year thanks to a $2.7 million grant from the United States Depart-ment of Agriculture (USDA). Both Laurel Mill Elementary and Frank-linton Elementary are included in that group.

The primary purpose of the grant is to promote healthier food choices by introducing a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables as daily snacks for students and helping teachers incorporate nutri-tion education in lesson plans.

This is the seventh consecutive year North Carolina has had the opportunity to participate in the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. Elementary schools use the funds to purchase and serve a variety of fresh fruits and vegeta-bles to all enrolled students in participating schools. Schools that have previously participated in the program used the funds to provide fruit baskets inside classrooms, kiosks in the hallways, and other innovative approaches to give stu-dents the opportunity to grab fresh fruit or vegetable snacks during the school day. Participa-tion in this program also promotes a healthier school environment.

“What better way to reinforce the message of the importance of maintaining a healthy diet than to provide our youngest students with opportunities to put those lessons into action? We hope that the more students are exposed to fresh fruits and vegetables the

more times they will choose them over less nutritious snacks,” said State Superintendent June Atkin-son. “We want these healthy hab-its to extend beyond the school house doors.”

North Carolina Department of Public Instruction Child Nutrition Services Section Chief Lynn Har-vey agreed with Atkinson adding, “Childhood obesity is a huge con-cern for not only North Carolina, but for the nation. Anything we can do to teach our children the importance of a healthy diet brings us one step closer to ad-dressing this increasing health concern.”

Schools participating in the pro-gram will also make nutrition edu-cation a priority so students will learn how fresh fruits and vegeta-bles are a critical part of a healthy

diet. This program creates an opti-mum environment for students to develop healthy snacking habits because it incorporates all the senses – sight, touch, smell, sound and taste.

The NCDPI's Child Nutrition Ser-vices Section is partnering with the NC Department of Health and Human Services’ Division of Public Health and the NC Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services to implement the program in the participating elementary schools for the 2010-11 school year. For more information on the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Pro-gram, please contact the NCDPI Communications Division at 919.807.3450.

Fruits and Vegetables Flow In Laurel Mill, Franklinton Elementary Receive Healthy Grant

Thanks to a grant, fresh fruits and vegetables will be more plentiful at Laurel Mill and Franklinton Elementary.


Franklinton High School sophomore Angela Sneed has big plans for this sum-mer. She’ll attend the National Student Leadership Conference in July at the Uni-versity of Maryland to further study Fo-rensic Science.

Sneed is openly excited about the op-portunity and will receive the opportunity to attend specialized workshops and classes designed to develop the skills and traits that define a leader. Leading professionals and professors from top colleges facilitate the programs and en-gage the students in hands-on activities that provide students with a day-in-the-life understanding of a prospective ca-

reer. Trips and tours also enhance the student’s experience by tailoring them to their specific conference.

She will also have the opportunity to meet with and learn from recognized leaders. Past special guest speakers include Secretary of Education Rod Paige, US Surgeon General Richard Car-mona, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, CIA Director Michael Hayden, Secretary of Veterans Affairs James Nicholson, Supreme Court Justices An-thony Kennedy, David Souter and San-dra Day O’Conner as well as US Sena-tors, US Representatives, Governors and Ambassadors.

Styers Nets Grant Maria Styers, a family and consumer science teacher at Franklinton High School, recently received a $1,800 grant from Delta Kappa Gamma Interna-tional to fund three mini laptops for classroom activi-ties. The laptops will bring the total to five in Styers’ classroom, allowing for larger groups of independent studies. The grant allows Styers to continue her drive for more resources for her students. She originally requested more laptops but is grateful to receive the amount of $1,800 for her grant titled Creating a Community of Learning. The grant is renewable for additional resources for the next school year; that has Styers optimistic about potentially receiving more laptops in the future.

Tiffany Wright, also known as Redd, recently had her first book published.

LHS Graduate’s Book Gets Published As a student at Terrell Lane Middle, Tiffany Wright could always be found writing a story. That continued through her time at Louisburg High School and has resulted in a full-blown publica-tion for Wright. Her first published book, Should Be Mines, cred-ited to Wright to her alias Redd, was recently published by Pub-lish America. Wright, who is a sophomore at Fayetteville State University, is already working on her next publication. She hopes to get her second book published as soon as it is ready. Wright, who graduated from Louisburg High in 2009, is the daughter of Louisburg Elementary Cafeteria Manager Wendy Crudup. Wright is still sorting out what she will do in the future, but it is safe to say it will involve writing. She is majoring in both Psychology and English. For more information on her book, visit www.publishamerica.com.

Wall Nets $1,000 Scholarship for Student Teaching Bunn Elementary student-teacher Whitney Wall recently earned a $1,000 scholarship from Delta Kappa Gamma for excellence in student teaching at Bunn Elementary School. Wall can use the money to her lik-ing. Wall recently earned her North Carolina Teaching Certificate through Barton College. Wall has worked for FCS as a distance learning facilitator for Bunn High in recent years. She’s hoping to become a classroom teaching in the near future. Whitney Wall recently received a $1,000 scholarship.


Resourcefulness Results in New TLMS Lab It’s amazing the difference

21 computers can make. Rather than going to the lab once or twice a month due to availability, Terrell Lane Middle School students can now ven-ture to the lab multiple times a week.

The nice part about the new lab is that it was built from ex-isting resources. Parent Teacher-Student Organization President Faye Weiner inquired with the Franklin County Schools’ technology about us-ing some existing old com-puters to create a lab. After a little research and piecing parts together, the lab became a reality.

“Mrs. Brown (TLMS Principal) said there was a need for an-other lab so as PTSO Presi-dent, I made that a goal,” Weiner said. “I’m very excited – it will be greatly used. This is really big for the kids who do not have computer access at home. It’s nice to see this facil-ity, and I hope to continue to work with the school in a posi-tive manner. It’s nice to help out.”

Terrell Lane Middle teacher Dominick Petrosillo is thankful he can bring his students into the lab multiple times per week.

“We’re really maximizing re-sources this way,” Petrosillo said. “It’s so important to have an eighth-grade lab. I was lim-

ited to coming here a couple of times a month before, but now we can come two or three times a week. This really opens a new window for projects and assessments. We are incredi-bly grateful, and this really is essential for this generation.”

School Principal Brown is equally grateful for the new lab.

Dr. John Cubbage, TLMS As-sistant Principal, praised the FCS Technology Department for piecing the lab together. Technology facilitator Sondra Ayscue played a big role in set-ting up the computers as did Leamon Brantley (FCS Technol-ogy Coordinator) and Layne

Denton (FCS Technology Tech-nician.

“This is a great use of re-sources, and I hope the stu-dents of Terrell Lane benefit from it,” FCS Technology Direc-tor Chris Shearer said.

In addition to using the lab for in-class activities, the lab is also being used for afterschool enrichment.

Each grade level now has its own lab.

In addition, TLMS received a mobile cart of netbooks earlier this winter as part of a $60,000 FCS Technology grant.

Terrell Lane Middle School student Marcus Hawley works diligently on a class project in the new computer lab.

one, but two scholarships to attend North Carolina State University.

She earned the NC State Goodnight Scholarship which covers tuition for four years at the school and also earned an additional $20,000 Chancel-lor’s Leadership scholarship to pay for additional services. The second schol-arship will be paid in $5K increments over her four year stay at the univer-sity.

“This is a really big stress reliever,” Kienow said. “I’m surprised to get two after thinking I wasn’t going to get any-thing.”

Kienow, who is quite active in the community with the SPCA and a pet adoption program through a local vet-erinarian in Franklinton, wants to at-tend veterinarian school at NCSU after earning a degree in zoology at NCSU.

Other multiple scholarship winners from FHS include Diedre Joyner, Kris-tin Hedrick, Jared Wright, and Dustin Newton.

At Bunn High School, Tayla Ricks received a $10,000 scholarship from the State Employees Credit Union (People Helping People Scholarship), and at Louisburg High School, Devonte Keith received the same honor. Frank-linton High’s Crystal Burkett also re-ceived the SECU scholarship. Keith received a multitude of scholarships and will have to decide which ones to

keep and which ones to pass on (as will many students as shown below in a list). Kim Baker received a full schol-arship from the North Carolina Depart-ment of Veteran’s Affairs to attend UNC Chapel Hill. In addition, Brianna Mitchell and Jasmine Manley received full scholarships to attend Winston-Salem State University. Mitchell, much like Keith, also received multiple schol-arships and will have some decisions to make.

Eva Khallaf, a former LHS social studies teacher who lost her life during her first month of teaching, is remem-bered each year through a $1,000 scholarship her father Emil Khallaf pro-vides. Kristen Edwards, who was also voted the school’s Most Valuable Ath-lete, received the Khallaf Memorial Scholarship this year.

Grant Madison will have a little extra kick in his step after earning a nearly $40K scholarship to attend Methodist University through the college’s Presi-dential Scholarship.

While just a few students are high-lighted above; there are many more scholarship recipients (full and partial scholarships). Many students received multiple offers and will have to decide which ones to actually accept.

Also keep in mind that some students are still in the running for major schol-arships.

BMS Honors Veterans

Bunn Middle School recently honored United States Veterans as stu-dents and staff pre-pared for Memorial Day weekend. The Memorial was on display in the main lobby at the school. As you can see at left, the school put quite a bit of time into the display.

FHS Red Rams Hold Poetry Contest In observance of School Library Media Month and National Poetry Month, the Franklinton High School Media Center Staff sponsored a school-wide Poetry Contest to promote the creative writ-ing and reading of poetry. Nearly one hundred students submitted poems, and of the one hun-dred, three winners were chosen with several poems receiving honorable mention. Guidelines for the contest were that poems could be in any form, must have been the original work of the stu-dent, and must not have exceeded twenty lines. Judges for the contest were former FCS English Teachers Mr. Robert Taylor and Mrs. Joseph Pearce as well as Librarians Alice Kidd of the Franklin County Library and Mrs. Lavonia Taylor, former FCS Librarian. Pictured in front are: Eliza-beth Sample, (1st place) and Albert Lyons, (2nd place). Standing are; Hillary Dimig, (3rd place), Deshawndra Glasco, and Taniqua Hanson hon-

orable mention recipients. Timothy Robinson and D’An-tionette Johnson are honorable mention recipients not pictured.

Forest Nights By: Elizabeth Sample

The trees bend back and whisper

the wind plays with my hair

I sit down and gaze at

the beauty to which none compare.

The moon is a luminous pearl

giving of great light

while the stars are all diamonds

shining in the night.

A creek gurgles quietly

as it flows farther away

and the forest breathes collectively

marking the end of the day.

I smile serenely

at the calm green here

for in this magical place

I have nothing to fear.

For nature holds more power

than a human could ever possess

and in her comforting arms

finally I can rest.

WAR ON THE STEREOTYPE BY HILLARY DIMIG

We are the ones; you’ve probably heard:

Not knowing what we stand for ‘cause to think’s to be a nerd.

We shriek our hatred of our enemy, lay on them the blame,

Even though our societies are really just the same.

Oh yeah, and we consort with each swipe of our credit cards.

You have to stay manicured to keep looking diehard.

Believing each one’s simple soul can be seen

in the thickness of eyeliner and the skinniness of jeans

To be a “rebel” is to be a follower; To be an outcast is to be popular; To be weird is to be normal

We are the ones; the overlooked originals:

Loners, unrelatable connoisseurs of the unnatural.

We watch as part of our identities is taken

Twisted, corrupted, “til we wander ‘round shaken.

Called goody-too shoes, but we challenge all we know

Don’t they realize, it’s their own rules that oppress them so?

We wait in the corner, hoping this fad, too, shall pass

But know one thing remains the same: We’re still the outcasts.

SHE WAS THE WALL

By: Albert Lyons

She was the wall that no one could get to,

She was the wall that no one ever knew.

A gun, a knife, and a blade,

The ingredients to go completely insane,

She tried so hard to get through life,

But her whole mind was set on strike,



Alone in her room, in the dark abyss,

With a gun pointing toward her chest,

All she wanted was a chance,

For a full life of true romance,



She tried to struggle for a chance once more,

She was told no, and it beat her to the core,

Doomed to know rejection for the rest of her life,

She stumbled home and turned out her light,



FHS Poetry Contest Winners


Freelance writer, poet and UNC Chapel Hill lecture Michael Chitwood recently visited Bunn High, Franklinton High and Louisburg High as part of a cooperation program between Frank-lin County Schools and the Franklin County Arts Council. Chitwood offered students tips on becoming better writers during an assembly in which poet laureates were named for each high school. This program is being funded through a grant which is designed to promote poetry as an art form in Franklin County. The named local poet laureates were determined by the quality of the poetry that they submitted for a school-wide poetry contest. Alyssa Frye (Franklinton High School), Sean Hines (Louisburg High School) and Rafeal Ramos (Bunn High School) were all named poet laureates of his/her school. The laureates read their poem to an assembly of 11th grade students. These students will represent their high schools during visits to middle schools and elementary schools to help spread the joy of poetry.

Poet Michael Chitwood (left) poses with new FHS Poet Laureate Alyssas Frye (center) and FHS drama teacher Lisa Lawrence. Lawrence led the process to earn the grant for the FCS Poet Laureate program.

Poetry—Pass It On


“I was very surprised,” Pace said. “After attending the ban-quet and listening to the acco-lades of all the other teachers, I was surprised. All of these teachers do many wonderful things.

“You always try to do your best. It’s an honor to feel like someone feels like you do a good job and that you deserve an award. You don’t really teach for this. You teach for your stu-dents. When your peers recog-nize you, it is like getting an ex-tra pat on the back.”

“This is always my favorite award,” FCS Superintendent Dr. Eddie Ingram said. “I’m very happy for Mrs. Pace. She truly deserves this recognition. She’s a special teacher and we are very fortunate to have her teach-ing the children of Franklin County. Her dedication and care make her a top notch teacher.”

Pace, who graduated from Zebulon High School and earned degrees from N.C. State Univer-sity and East Carolina University, is an exceptional children’s teacher and is continually praised by Bunn High Principal

Robin Faulkner. “In my 25 years as an educa-

tor, I have never known a teacher who works harder or who cares more about the stu-dents,” Faulkner said. “While a lengthy listing of Mrs. Pace’s teaching responsibilities would be a testament to her work ethic and level of endurance, such a list would not convey the es-sence of Mrs. Pace’s exception-ality. She is the teacher of the year because she is first and foremost an excellent teacher in the classroom.

“On a typical day, a visitor to Mrs. Pace’s classroom would not realize that Mrs. Pace’s class consists of students who are the most challenging and diverse group of learners in the school because one would find a class-room of students sitting at rapt attention. The students would be involved in discussions and learning activities that require high levels of critical thinking. Mrs. Pace would be engaging students through her artwork or through her use of technology.”

Pace wasn’t always sure she if she should be a teacher.

“Choosing a major was difficult for me because in my heart I felt called to teach, but I received little encouragement from my

high school teachers and family members,” Pace said. “Each one of them had a long list of rea-sons why teaching was not the vocation for me.”

As a sophomore in college, Pace finally got a nudge that convinced her she really should teach. The nudge came indi-rectly from a college professor who taught U.S. History in an engaging format. After learning from that professor, she knew she wanted to teach. The profes-sor often drew animations on the board to bring the lesson to life. Pace enjoyed it so much she incorporates that in her own les-sons to this day.

“I feel like I was supposed to teach. It just felt right from day one.”

Pace lives in Franklin County with her husband Steve, who is also a teacher at BHS. Bunn High is a special place for both Steve and Kim; they met on the campus in their early days of teaching. Their son Garrett re-cently graduated from UNC Chapel Hill with a degree in Physics and is currently teaching summer courses at Vance Gran-ville Community College.

Night of NCCER

In mid May, Franklin County Schools held the 1st annual NCCER Credential Ceremony at Louisburg High School. NCCER stands for North Carolina Center for Construction Education and Research. Seventy-one trade and industrial students received their Core or Level I NCCER credentials under the instruction of Mr. William Longson and Mr. Steve Pace from BHS, Mr. Clarence Walker from FHS, and Mr. Willie Tabron from LHS.
