A Message from the Superintendent

April Issue 2012-2013An Update

to the Community

Noted author Mark Twain once said, “In the spring I have counted one hundred and thirty-six diff erent kinds of weather inside of four and twenty hours.” Th at seems appropriate for how things have been in our part of Ohio over the past few weeks! Finally, now that it seems like the temperatures are going to remain steadily warm, spring is fl ashing past and accelerating toward the end of another school year.

Th e Academic Awards banquet and National Honor Society induction are scheduled for May 9th; both of these will recognize and honor Maysville’s high achievers and seniors who have won college scholarships. Graduation ceremonies for the Class of 2013 will be on May 24 at 6:00 p.m. in the stadium at the MAC. Th e community is invited to attend this commencement celebration. Although I recognize that warm weather and a “countdown” for the last day of school make it more diffi cult to stay committed to school-based demands, I ask that parents and students remain focused on academics. Please join me in keeping your “foot on the gas” and save the downhill coasting for aft er May 29!

Maysville Wins Pre-Calculus Tournament at OU-ZOn Friday, April 12, Maysville students took part in a mathematics tournament that was held at Ohio Uni-versity-Zanesville. Th e tournament was hosted by Dr. Pramod Kanwar, an associate professor of math-ematics at OU-Z. Alexis Bennett and Madison Smith competed in the Pre-Calculus tournament. Th e pair won the tournament by accumulating 133 points, which beat the second-place score by 25 points. Th e other schools who took part in the Pre-Calculus tournament were Bishop Rosecrans, Philo, Buckeye Trail, and Tri-Valley. Jacob Kuhn and Blaine Milam competed in the Algebra tournament that took place earlier that morning. Th ey placed third out of the seven teams that were involved in that tournament. Maysville is incredibly proud of these students, and we look forward to next year’s tournament!

Th e Maysville High School Quiz team has completed another successful season. Th ere were enough students in the fall to take two teams to the Golden Shamrock at Fisher Catholic and compete at the Varsity and Junior Varsity levels. Each team member played four entire matches to start their season. Later , they brought home the second place plaque in the Southeast Ohio Academic Quiz League on December 11th, 2012, fi nishing just behind Lancaster Fisher Catholic. At the MVL competition, on March 16th at Crooksville, the Panthers fi nished in second place. Team members this year include: Captain -Mackenzie Folger, Darren Tyo, Mallory Spring, Sam Law, Logan Paskell, Will Laymon, Brady Tumblin, Caleb Zinn, James Doney, and Austin Harter.

Th e coaches would like to thank the school board, staff , and parents for your support in quiz team’s endeavors. We always have the largest crowd cheering us on!

Quiz team entry fees for tournaments are fund-ed in part by recycling ink cartridges. If you would like to help support our competitions, please send used ink cartridges to the high school c/o Eric or Lisa Wahl.

If you are a student in the Maysville District, and are considering joining quiz team, begin training now: read, read, read!

Th ird Grade Field Trip to Conns Potato Chips and 5 B’sTh ank you so much Conns and 5 B’s!

Th e third grade students at Maysville Elementary got the opportunity to visit a couple of great busi-nesses right in their backyard. Th ey got to experience the delicious art of chip making and the beautiful designs of embroidered shirts. Students around the school have seen or even tried Conn’s potato chips or worn a 5 B’s design. Both businesses were started and formed in Zanesville, OH which the students found very fascinating.

Th anks again to both businesses for allowing our students to come and tour your facilities.

Ski Club“Th e mountains are calling and I must go.” John Muir

Th e Maysville Ski/Snowboard Club has now been in exis-tence for 36 years, providing outdoor adventure for students for fi ve Th ursdays in January and February, then unlimited trips until season end. Th e program, started in 1976 by some of the more adventurous members of our community, takes around 35 students via Muskingum Coach to Snowtrails Ski Area. Lessons, lift passes and equipment are all included in package deals that range from $150 (ski pass only) to $205 (pass, rentals and lessons). Th is deal makes learning to ski much more aff ordable than doing it on you own.

Th is year the club consisted of only 22 members ranging from Middle School to some of our early college students! If you are considering an activity to keep you and your family healthier and active through the winter months you can sign up next year as early as Octo-ber for a great winter adventure. Start saving for next year’s adventure, and watch for our sign up reminder in October’s newsletter.

Th e advisors would like to express their apprecia-tion to the community, administration, school board and staff who help make our adventures happen. If you have any questions, please contact advisors Eric Wahl, Adam King or Brandi Harper at Maysville High School.

A Message from Chris Drake, RN Maysville School Nurse Coordinator

Medications: Parents must get all medications from the clinics on or before the last day of school. All medications that are left will be properly discarded. For next school year, please remember that the Dis-trict does not provide any over the counter medications for students. Th ey must be brought to school by parents in the original, unopened container. Please get forms for prescription and over the counter medications for the 2013-14 school year signed over the summer! Forms are in the clinics.

Immunizations: All students entering the 7th grade are required to have a Tdap immunization; check the information on the report card for more details. Please send the offi cial immunization record to the nurse by the fi rst day of school in August. New kindergartners must also have all immunization records up to date by the fi rst day of school.

We thank you for your cooperation with following these Maysville District policies!

Th e weeks before and aft er spring break, local fi shing and outdoor enthusiast, Tim Smith, instructed the Outdoor Recreation classes on the art of fl y tying. Th e students learned to make their own lures from hooks, feathers, colored animal hair, chenille, foam, bright wires and other materials. Tying a fl y requires a steady hand and some patience from the student, as they have to wrap a delicate string fi rmly around the small hook to keep the dec-orations in place. While some fl ies are natural colors and resemble insects at various life stages through their careful detailing, some are bright and eye catch-ing with their creative designs. Th e fl ies vary in size, shape, usage and color from each other leaving no two the same. Th e project was enjoyed by the classes as an interesting and creative aspect of the class. Th ese lures will be used by the stu-dents when they start fl y fi shing at the school’s pond in the spring.

Students Make Lures

Kindergarten learns about Composting

In recognition of Earth Day this year, the Kin-dergarten students en-joyed learning about composting! Th ey were educated about what composting is and the kinds of items that can be

used for this. Th ey also learned about the importance of earth-worms to our environment. Th ey were able to touch and feel them too! Th is was brought to us by an Environmental Educator

from the SouthEastern Ohio Joint Solid Waste Management District. We would like to give them a big thank you for sharing their lesson with us!

Th e 1 Hour Early Release Dayscheduled for Friday, May 10th has been

rescheduled for Friday, May 17th.

Latchkey Easter Egg HuntTh e Maysville LEOS held an Easter egg hunt for Latch-key students in grades K-5. Th e Easter egg hunt was March 22. About 56 students took part in the Easter egg hunt. Th ere were over 300 Easter eggs fi lled with candy and money. Th e Maysville LEOS hid the Easter eggs on the primary playground. Students were given a decorated lunch bag and told to get fi ve fi lled Easter eggs and then come back inside to look inside the eggs

to see what was inside them. Students had fun and were excited to see what treasures were inside the eggs.

Th e following LEOS took part in this proj-ect: Emily Dietz, Colton Butler, Hannah Ogilbee, Luke Engles, Katelyn Bennett, Jake McGee, Cody Adams, and Trevor Guthrie.

Th e fi rst grade classes performed their program, Mu-sic Matters, on April 10th and 11th. Th e program had familiar nursery rhymes that the children added their own twist to! Th e children changed the nursery rhymes based on what they have learned in music this year. We would like to thank Mrs. Davidson, the students, and their parents for all their hard work! Th e program was GREAT!

Music Matters First Grade Musical

Mrs. Hern and Mrs. Jacolenne’s classes have been learn-ing about the Earth, Moon, and Beyond. One of the re-quirements for this unit was for each student to make a model of the Solar System. Students worked hard on their projects and were very creative in coming up with materials to use to represent the fi ve parts of the solar system: sun, planets, comets, asteroids, and moons. We want to thank the families for helping with these proj-ects. We were pleased with what the students could tell us about what they had learned from doing the project.

We plan on having these on display Success Night, Th ursday, May 23 from 6:00-7:30 P.M.

On April 9th the collective classes of Literature of Sustainability, STEM Principles of Engineering and upper classmen of Outdoor Rec. went to Th e Wilds to plant over nine hundred young sycamore trees. Th e students worked to aid in the preservation of the wetlands area of the expansive park. Th e wetlands of the Wilds have been in severe degeneration as the surrounding areas dried out, but along with the introduction of the near one thousand young trees, the park hopes to restore the wetlands as a ma-jor part of the park when it has suffi ciently reopened water ways to the area and reintroduces the natural wetland wildlife. Aft er planting and tag-ging the trees, the students were given a tour of the park for their service.

Lunch break was taken near the carnivore section of the park, where stu-dents ate in a raised lodge overlooking the Cheetah, Wild African Dog and Dhole enclosures, aft er which the group observed the larger animal enclosures of the Giraff e, Buff alo, wild pony and White Rhino. Th e stu-dents were permitted to stop at the Rhinos fencing area where mother rhinos and their young calves were held away from the rest of the adult rhinos. Th e young rhinos and their mothers leaned against the fencing, allowing the students to pet and scratch their thick rock like hides. Th e youngest calf loved the attention from so many people at once. Ms. Corine Peugh, Restoration Ecology Project Manager at the Wilds and their staff were very appreciative of Maysville students’ eff orts.

Students Aid in Preservation at Th e Wilds

Th e Maysville OTAGS Program is winding down for the 2012-2013 school year. Th is month we have been focusing our studies around the topic of Spring. Th e children have been so excited to have the opportunity to venture outside aft er a long winter. We are pleased to announce that our playground equipment is in and is being put to good use! Th is month we are busy getting ready to transition our pre-schoolers to kindergarten for the upcoming school year. It is always bittersweet to see our students move on. We are always so proud of the progress they all make while in our care. We will welcome back many of our preschoolers next

year and look forward to another exciting year!

Maysville Latchkey would like to send a Big “Th ank You” to the Maysville LEOS! Th e Easter egg hunt was a big

hit and enjoyed by everyone. Th ank you for the time you spent prepar-ing the eggs and hiding them! We enjoy it every year!!

Chloe Wilson, a student in the dual credit Litera-ture of Sustainability class, spent her 18th birthday planting trees at the Wilds, along with Mr. Skinner’s Outdoor Rec class and Mr. Waite’s Yearbook/Photog-raphy class. Th e three classes planted more than 500 trees in a wetlands reclamation area.

L-R: Taylor Pettit, Chase Myers, and Erin Curry plant trees as part of a team project for the dual credit Lit-erature of Sustainability.

Ashley was chosen by Maysville High School because of her persever-ance, goal setting, strength of character, courage and integrity. Ashley is being honored because despite the obstacles she has faced in her life, she did what she needed to do to graduate

from high school and prepare herself for a great future. Congratulations, Ashley!

Rotary’s Phoenix Award

Second grade students have been working hard on many math topics. One topic would be adding and subtracting 2 and 3 digit numbers. Mrs. Crooks’ class had fun matching the problem with the answer on heart puzzles. Th ey each had half a heart puzzle, which might have a problem or an answer. Th ey had to go around to other classmates and try to locate the match-ing heart. It was not quite as easy as it sounds because the heart puzzles had shapes that matched more than one problem. Th ey had to work the problem out on paper and then go on the hunt of the person who had the correct matching puzzle piece. Another topic in math has been fractions. On April 17, the students got to make rectangular pizzas for their lunch. Th en they practiced making equal fractional parts by cutting the pizzas into halves, thirds, fourths, and eighths. Th ey answered story problems about what fractional part of the pizza was still in the dish. Th en they enjoyed eating lunch together in the classroom!

Mrs. Shreve and Mrs. Crooks’ class enjoyed a game day together. One child from each class partnered up and played a game using base ten block cards. Th e children played Addition Top It. Th e goal was to add two cards (each showing a 2 digit number with base ten blocks). Th e player with the higher sum won the cards. Math is even more fun when you get to enjoy it with your friends in other classes. We also want to thank our Maysville High School Ser-vice Learning student. Katie Delong, a senior at MHS, comes every day to help in our classroom. For her end of the year project, she had to do something that would be

benefi cial for our class. To help with our math skill of reading and making a picture graph, Katie made a picture graph poster and ques-tions so that we could practice this skill.

Second Grade Math!

Extended CareFinally Spring is here, the playground is fi n-ished and it’s time to go outside and play. Th e kids have enjoyed playing on the play-ground and also being able to go in the grass to run and roll down the hill. We check out the ducks swimming in the pond and pick lots of beautiful fl owers out of the grass. We only have a few weeks left and we are plan-ning on getting a lot of outside play time.

Panther Press Staff Visits Capital City

Th e MHS Panther Press (PP) Staff visited Columbus on April 5th, touring several sites. Th e tour kicked off with a stop at the Columbus Dispatch, Central Ohio’s largest daily newspaper. Th e staff was greeted by Managing Editor, Alan Miller, who has spent his entire career in journalism, most of it with the Dis-patch. Miller explained the changing landscape of the newspaper, noting that even he uses his phone as a resource when he comes upon news. While the Dis-patch still employs photographers, every journalist is responsible for generating photos and video where

appropriate. Miller explained the paper’s recent change of format and the economics of the newspaper business to PP staff ers. Before departing, he invited the staff to sit in on the daily editorial staff meeting where reporters presented their ideas for the upcoming Sunday edition.

Th e Dispatch tour was followed by a visit to Senator Troy Balderson’s offi ce where staff ers explained their roles to PP staff ers. Balderson’s staff encouraged PP staff ers to pursue a career in politics or, at least, to consider political internships as part of their continuing education.

Finally, the staff visited the Ohio Supreme Court build-ing. Th e Court was not in session due to the recent Easter holiday, but court employee Jay Weubold presided over a tour of the courtroom and visitor center. Weubold ex-plained the roles of the justices and discussed their terms. He also pointed out interesting architecture and artwork in the courtroom. Weubold then escorted the students to the visitor center where students could interact with several displays, including a mock courtroom.

Th e group enjoyed lunch at Haiku Asian Restaurant pri-or to returning to MHS. Complete details on the trip are available in the latest edition of Panther Press which can be viewed on the MLSD website or Facebook page.

Aft er fi ve years of poring over thousands of words from several dictionaries, only 7 words stood between eighth grader Matthew Pitcock and his dream of attend-ing the National Spelling Bee. In his previous two years at the Re-gional Spelling Bee, Matthew had been ousted in round fi ve, devas-tated that one random word had crushed his hopes and nullifi ed his hard work. For in spelling bees there are no second chances. Th is year, if he missed just one let-ter, he’d be out—out of the round, out of the competition, out of spelling bees forever. With his spelling career and years of eff ort on the line, Matthew outlasted 69 other spellers on March 16 to win the Ohio Regional Spelling Bee. Unlike other years, Matthew’s ride home that day would not be full of painful regrets and quiet heartache. It would be full of smiles, relief, and excited chatter...not to mention a coveted trophy and one round-trip ticket to Washington, D.C!

Matthew recently sat down to answer some questions about his spelling bee journey.

What were some of your regional spelling words? Brucellosis, phenology, harfang, and conniption (I knew conniption from reading the comic book, Calvin and Hobbes.)

How did you study for the regional spelling bee? Several years ago I started by memorizing the Scholastic Student Dictionary (10,000 words) and the Spell-It list provided by the National Spelling Bee. Th is year I moved on to Merriam Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary. My mom and I read the entire dictionary, writing down the words I didn’t know, including foreign language words and Greek/Latin root words. I would study the words, and later my mom would quiz me on them.

When is the National Spelling Bee? Th e week of May 26. Th e bee itself is from May 28-30.

What activities are part of Bee Week? Th ere is a sightseeing tour of D.C., a Memorial Day Picnic with games, an Awards Banquet, and a dance on the last night. My sponsor, Ohio University, is paying for all of these activities as well as my 6-night stay at the Gaylord Hotel and airplane tickets. (Th is will be my fi rst time fl ying!)

How are you preparing for the National Spelling Bee? I am studying a book of foreign language words and rules for spelling in those foreign languages. I also need to study a 200-page list of Greek and Latin root words. In addition, my mom reads and pulls out study words from the “Beast”: Webster’s Th ird International Dictionary. Since there is a new vocabulary portion this year, we also have to study a list of vocab words.

What are some examples of national–level words? Chaetiferous, pharmakos, Xanthippe, yperite, ejido

Matthew Pitcock Wins Regional Spelling Bee

What is your favorite word to spell? Borborygmus: the sound your stomach makes when it’s gur-gling from hunger

What are you looking forward to the most in Washington? I am looking forward to watching the fi nals in person (aft er years of just watching it on TV) and competing in or watching the other rounds.

What is your goal for the National Bee? I would like to advance to the semifi nals (top 50 spellers out of 300).

How is the bee run? Th is year there is a major change in the format of the National Spelling Bee. Spellers must now know the defi nitions of the words as well as the spelling. Vocabulary knowledge now accounts for 50% of the bee. Th e bee is run in rounds. Round 1 is a computer test with spelling and vocabulary words. Rounds 2 and 3 are oral rounds where each speller gets one spelling word. (If you misspell, you are out.) Th en, 50 semifi nalists are chosen for the live, televised portion of the bee (based on scores in rounds 1-3). If you qualify for these semifi nals, you take another computerized test (round 4). For rounds 5 and higher, the bee basically proceeds as normal, with remaining spellers receiving one oral spelling word per round until a champion is declared.

Why did you start competing in spelling bees? I started to compete in bees in 4th grade. I learned about them in 2nd grade when I saw an ad for the County Bee at John McIntire Library. We went to that bee to watch, and I was hooked ever since. I started to compete because I was good at it, and I wanted to go to D.C. for the nationals.

What have you learned from them? I have learned that I don’t like daff odils (the word I missed at Maysville in my fi rst spelling bee). Seriously, though, with all my failures I wanted to give up, and I almost quit studying last fall. Aft er all my eff ort, all I got was disappointment. I didn’t think I had a chance of going to Washington. But, when I started studying again this (my last) year, I realized how badly I wanted to win. So, I have learned not to give up on achieving a dream...even if it seems your hard work is not paying off .

What is the hardest part about being in a spelling bee? Waiting for your word. It is nerve-wracking, and I have felt extremely nauseous. It is also diffi cult to lose. You study so hard, but sometimes it’s not about the thousands of words you DO know...it can come down to the ONE word you don’t know. Th e words are so random, and one mistake is fatal. I will remember the words I’ve missed for the rest of my life.

“Take a Kid Fishing Day”

Maysville’s Outdoor Rec. class welcomes all students and families from MES, MMS, and MHS to the 2013 “Take a Kid Fishing Day” that will take place May 5th from 5pm-7pm at “Th e Pond” on the school campus.

Please contact Chris Skinner for more information at 740-454-7999.

Poetry in Your Pocket DayPoetry in Your Pocket Day was April 18th. In celebration, Miss Moe’s College Comp II classes memorized and performed poems in class. Each student chose a poem for which he or she felt con-nected and had two weeks to memorize it. Students had the option to wear costumes and use props. Poems ranged from contempo-rary works, such as “Some Days,” by Billy Collins to "Sonnet 18," by William Shakespeare. To mimic a coff ee house atmosphere, students drank Starbucks coff ee, ate cookies, and had access to bongo drums and other musical noise makers to show their ap-preciation for each performance.
