AmeriCorps and VISTA Programs Receive Awards

The Waynesville AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps VISTA programs were recognized for their dedication to service and volunteerism on Thursday, April 25, during an awards ceremony conducted by Missouri Community Service Commission in Colombia, Mo.

The commission named Waynesville's Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service the number one Day of Service within the state. Waynesville AmeriCorps VISTA members Joellyn Dean and Markell Mills accepted the award for the Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service. A host of activities took place within the Waynesville R-VI School District during this annual event on Friday, Jan. 18. Approximately 2,800 students in seven Waynesville schools participated in activities such as coloring contests, community outreach, mentoring activities and service-related projects. AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps VISTA members along with building principals, teachers and staff members worked together to plan and execute a successful event.

During the ceremony, Ruth Long of Waynesville received the Senior Corps Service Award for her many hours of outstanding community service and dedication. Second year Waynesville AmeriCorps member Praise Mosley was given honorable mention for her dedication to youth. Mosley tutors during school hours and assists with the Club TIGER afterschool program. Through her ability to connect with youth and relate to their struggles, she has formed a supportive group that helps develop young girls into responsible, self-confident women. Every week she meets with her student group comprised of "Impressionable Ladies" to discuss several topics, including planning for the future, caring for self and community service.

Partners in Education (PIE) groups - Fort Leonard Wood units assigned to school buildings within the district - received the Partners in Service Award. Fort Leonard Wood soldiers logged more than 7,000 hours volunteering in the Waynesville R-VI School District. Volunteer activities ranged from mentoring school children, to painting and construction, to supporting leadership camps. The award recognized the dedication and abilities of the two organizations to bring quality opportunities and experiences to the Waynesville R-VI School District and its surrounding communities.

Sculpture Depicts Nation, Places in Competition

Dakota York placed second in the Missouri SkillsUSA conference at Linn State Technical College with his sculpture, "E Pluribus Unum," or "One From Many."

After asking his family and friends for their ideas about how to depict this nation, York worked with his welding instructor, Alex Neuman at the Waynesville Career Center, to use his skills to showcase America's strength.

The resulting sculpture details the culmination of his thoughts. The sculpture's base is a star and represents the foundation of this country and the strength to support its people. The flag, which rests upon the star, is composed of mild steel and multiple strips of copper and stainless steel, representing the 13 colonies and 50 states. Rising up from the flag are multiple rings - one ring depicting the five armed services who protect the nation and the second with the phrase, "E Pluribus Unum," which appears on the Seal of the United States. The rings are held together by five ball bearings, symbolizing unity, truth, respect, liberty and freedom.

York, a Plato student, used gas metal arc welding, a pulse spray transfer and gas tungsten arc welding processes, along with torchmate engraving and torchmate plasma cutters, to create the sculpture. After sanding the sculpture, he sprayed a clear coat to prevent oxidization.

"This sculpture means more to me personally than being able to compete and show my skills," York says. "This is what my father and his fellow soldiers have fought for to keep the flag flying high above our great nation. This sculpture lets me show my father the gratitude I feel for what he has done for me and my family and this great nation. This nation we live in is the greatest nation in the world. Our forefathers fought for this great nation to have independence, freedom and unity so that we are one from many. Let's remember the past so we can look toward the future to keep this country great!"

Bales Receives Principal Award

Hilary Bales, principal at East Elementary, has been named the Principal of the Year for the South-Central Region. She is one of 12 principals around the state who was honored during the Missouri Association of Elementary School Principals (MESP) this spring.

Bales is responsible for ensuring approximately 900 Waynesville R-VI students in kindergarten through second grades receive a top-notch education at East.

"Mrs. Bales meets challenges head-on, displays enthusiasm, is inclusive and takes a no-nonsense approach to leading East Elementary," says Superintendent Judene Blackburn. "Her knowledge of the learning process and superb communication and organizational skills are also great assets."

East was one of 10 schools in the state to receive the Missouri Professional Learning Communities School Award in 2013. (Partridge Elementary, another Waynesville school, also received the award.) Bales led East's transition to a top-rated PLC school. In addition, Bales is a leader in implementation of Positive Behavior Intervention and Response to Intervention programs.

During the past two years, two other Waynesville principals have been awarded the South Central Region's Principal of the Year Award: Dr. Sonya Campbell of Wood Elementary and Mike Morriss of Freedom Elementary.

Partridge scores bigs on PLC audit

Partridge Elementary teachers scored very well, reaching "deep implementation," on all Professional Learning Community areas evaluated during a recent South-Central Regional Professional Development Center (RPDC) external evaluation.

Dr. Michelle Smith of the RPDC shared with Partridge teachers that when a school has been recognized as an Exemplary PLC by DESE, the next year they normally drop off.

"In the case of Partridge, you have continued to raise the standards and develop innovative approaches to documenting student progress, PLC collaboration, developing programs for student success and focusing on teamwork," Smith says.

Dr. George Lauritson, principal at Partridge, thanked the teachers for continuing to reach higher levels of knowledge to better serve their students.

"I am very proud of each staff member for their achievement and dedication," Lauritson says. "Working as teams, they have reached new levels of collaboration and commitment to each other and their students."

National School Lunch Superhero Day Celebrated

Waynesville R-VI cafeteria staff members celebrated National School Lunch Superhero Day on May 3 with lunch and an afternoon filled with activities.

Cafeteria employees received t-shirts and received thanks through cards, posters and videos from children at each of the schools. They also made superhero capes, which they wore to school on Monday.

First Foundation Scholarship Awarded

The sessions will provide information on how to safely preserve jams/jellies, how to can salsa, and how to pressure can vegetables. Each class will include a hands-on demonstration of equipment and materials and MU Extension guide sheets with recipes will be available for all participants.

The class dates are:
-Boiling water bath canning of jams/jellies - Tuesday, June 4, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
-Boiling water bath canning of salsa - Tuesday, July 9, from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
-Pressure canning vegetables - Monday, August 12 from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
