Hi Zona, My name is Felicia Harrison! My friends and I go to Rena Backers School of Ballet. We all attend Benchmark Elementary School too. The cool thing about us is that we are all in the same grade, school, and attend the same ballet school.

On Monday, December 16, Backers of Ballet, a Non-Profit Organization is having a Nutcracker show specifically for school children. The great thing about this Nutcracker is that we give back to the community by collecting for the Marine Corps “Toys for Tots” campaign. We also expose kids to the arts. Benchmark is going to be over half of the audience. Although Benchmark has gone a few times in the past, they still are eager to go each year and watch their friends dance in the ballet. I really love dancing because you can express yourself. I’ve been dancing at Rena’s for five years and every year I’m glad that I didn’t quit.

Benchmark is the most fantastic school in the world and I think that it is really cool that my friends get to see me dance.

By Felicia Harrison, 5th grader at Benchmark Elementary

If you want to come see our Nutcracker performance, we have two public shows: Saturday, December 14th, at 7pm and Sunday, December 15th at 2pm at Shadow Mountain High School. Admission is $5.00 plus one unwrapped new toy.

educator Corner

by: Sarah Boeder, Executive Vice President of Operations, Grand Canyon University

This time of year, students and parents are busy visiting campuses, meeting with college representatives and sending

off the first wave of applications. As exciting as college preparation is, anticipating and managing higher education costs can be overwhelming. Several factors, from procuring funding sources to making smart decisions about studies, impact the bottom line. Some essential financial considerations for students to contemplate include: Scholarships. Most schools have robust scholarship programs – some which are automatically offered and many more that require formal submissions. Gathering materials and preparing the applications can be time consuming, but the extra time could yield huge savings. For example, Grand Canyon University students can shave thousands off their tuition costs with just the basic scholarships available. After scholarships, annual tuition at the private, Christian university shrinks to an average of $7,800 per student – which is comparable to public state universities and well below other private universities. Financial aid. Loans have long been a go-to source for education funds. Whether pursuing federal or private loans, students have many options when it comes to selecting the type that best suits their individual circumstances.

After conducting initial research, students should speak with college enrollment advisers to better understand the finer points of financial aid. Tuition rates. Some schools, including GCU, have frozen their tuition rates, giving students the chance to pursue a college education without worrying about rates increasing from semester to semester. Close to home. Some students dream of immersing themselves into college life, which includes living on campus. But moving four states away may be cost prohibitive due to out-of-state tuition costs. Staying in state is a significant money-saver, even if a student chooses to live on campus. Career plan. Committing to a career can be unnerving, particularly to new college students, but not committing may result in unnecessary classes and added costs. The key is to realistically focus on general areas of interest. Unless the field is highly specialized, each degree program provides students with many different career options. Resources and self-assessment tools such as GCU’s Career Compass can match students with careers best suited for them. While individual situations may vary, a range of options are available to help students and their parents determine the best choices in higher education, while easing the financial impact.

doing Homework is Key to anticipating, Managing college costs

WHAt you Will need:• Apples in your choice of

color with a steady, even base. Red and green make for great Christmas decorations!

• Lemon juice• Tea light candles• A cookie cutter the same size

as your candles or if you’re doing a lot of apple candles, it might be worth investing in a candle carver.

Step 1Using your cookie cutter or candle carver, place your shape on the top of the apple, ensuring it is in the center. Push down to create your shape. If using a cookie cutter, remove it and carve out enough of the apple

so your candle can sit without having it’s sides exposed.

Step 2Pour lemon juice into the hole and let it sit for five minutes then pour out excess. This helps the ap-ple not turn brown and keeps your candles fresh for longer.

Step 3Push your tea light into the hole making sure the edges align with the edge of the hole

Step 4Light!

4th grader at freedom academy

TEll US ABOUT YOUr jOUrnEY SO FAr AS A FEnCEr. My aunt is a Sport Psychologist who works with a lot of college fencers. She told me that with my personality and sport sense that fencing would be a perfect fit for me.

HOW OlD WErE YOU WHEn YOU STArTED? WHErE DO YOU SEE YOUr FUTUrE AS FAr AS FEnCInG GOES? I started at the age of 7 as a left-handed fencer, which is not as common in Fencing. I am working towards Nationals next year to compete in Y10 Epee.

WHErE DO YOU FEnCE? I train at Phoenix Falcon Fencing Club with Rolly and Robin Arroyo. They are great because they know exactly what I need to get

better and make me a top fencer. Rolly is truly the best at what he does!

WHAT HAS BEEn THE HArDEST THInG THAT YOU HAVE HAD TO lEArn? The hardest thing I have had to learn is to perry and repost.

WHAT WOUlD YOU SAY TO SOMEOnE THAT WOUlD BE InTErESTED In lEArnInG HOW TO FEnCE? Fencing is fun, fast paced and with

each bout brings on a new challenge to figure how to win.

WHEn YOU ArE nOT PrACTICInG, WHAT ArE YOU DOInG? When I am not fencing, I am playing soccer and spending time with friends and family. Fencing has helped my footwork in soccer and soccer has helped my speed in fencing.

YOU AlrEADY HAVE COllEGE AMBITIOnS, TEll US ABOUT THEM? I decided that I wanted to go to Stanford University and be the Captain of their fencing team. We were on their campus last year and I loved it. I have Stanford stickers on my school folders to remind me what I am working towards in 10 years.

WHErE DO YOU GET YOUr DrIVE AnD MOTIVATIOn TO DO SO WEll? I get the drive from my coach Rolly, my mom, dad, aunt and uncle.


Q. What do you suggest if I don’t know what I want to get my

degree in, and what’s the most generic degree for someone who doesn’t know what they want right now?

A. Actually, most community college students are undecided on a major and/

or career when they begin college. Choosing a major or degree is a process that happens over time. At SCC there is help to ease the anxiety and to assist you in making an informed choice. Undecided students should use the services of both the Academic & Career Advisement Center and Counseling Services to do research early in their academic career. By doing research early

you will be better prepared to plan your education so you are truly prepared for the areas that interest you. The Academic and Career Advisement Center has several resources to help students assess their interests, abilities, and work values to help decide on a major and career path. We also help students research information on:

• Job descriptions

• Employment outlook

• Two-year, four-year college and graduate school information

• Personal characteristics helpful for job satisfaction

• College majors and related careers

• Salary information and education levels

As for a generic degree, we still recommend that you talk with an advisor at SCC to explore all your options, but the Associate’s degree in Arts and the Associate’s degree in General Studies are a couple to consider as a good foundation.

The Tesseract kindergarten class has been introduced to the innovative “MindUp” program, allowing them to gain a deep-er understanding of their own mental processes. The curricu-

lum starts with an introduction to brain physiology and then broad-ens into how the parts of the brain interact. These five and six year old students learn how to reconcile what goes on ‘inside’ with their actual experiences. The outcome of this enhanced awareness is a group of resilient children whose awareness of their impulses, thoughts, feelings and behavior boosts their confidence, pleasure, and sense of agency in their own learning process.

tHe beneFitS oF mindup For cHildren Are:• Improved self control and

self-regulation skills• Strengthened resiliency and

decision-making• Bolstered enthusiasm

for learning• Increased academic success• Reduce peer-to-peer conflict• Positive social skills, such as

empathy, compassion, patience, and generosity

• Infuse the classroom learning with joy and optimism

The culture at Tesseract fosters interactive collabo-ration between grades and to that end, the fourth grade students were provided with the op-portunity to interview the kindergarten class and learn more about mindful behavior and the MindUp program. Here are some

of the questions and responses that were provided:

Q. WHy iS your brAin importAnt?A. You need a brain for thinking and to stay alive.

Q. WHAt doeS your brAin do?A. It helps you remember thingsA. Day dreamsA. It thinksA. Plan for stuffA. It helps you make good choices.

They help their students see their dreams come true.”

Tesseract is honored to welcome a representative from AZ Cape, who will be presenting the Tesseract nominees with their nominations on October 18 and October 21 at the Tesseract School.

The final winners will be announced at a reception held in the finalists’ honor on the evening of October 22, 2013 at the Goldwater Institute at 500 E. Coronado in Phoenix. AZCAPE is an affiliate of The Council for American Private Education, a coalition of national organizations and state affiliates serving private elementary and secondary schools. There are over 33,000 private schools in the United States; in fact, one in every four schools in the nation is private.
