“BE BuLLy FREE” program was begun by fifth-grader Ashley Thomas because “I wanted to help change things.” The BlytheBower Elementary School student is encouraging others to take a stand and be a friend. All students are invited to participate as the group gathers once a week at the end of lunch. Posters are being made and new friendships have begun as students encourage one another each day. Students are asked to sign a pledge to “Be Bully Free.” Ashley hopes to provide role plays, opportunities for discussion, coloring contests and even team shirts. From left, front, are K’Tia Bailey, Azaneth Juan, Alisha Saeed, Gneth Edwin, Venus Cartaya and Layla Vaughn; and back, Kyra Satterfield, Amya Lewallen, Ashley Thomas and Genesis Lowe.

Cleveland Middle School Principal Mike Collier ThE CMS DanCE TEaM recently celebrated the 2014-15 season with a banquet. The talented dance team members competed in seven competitions this year and are the reigning TSSAA state dance champions. They are fierce athletes who have the courage to face their challengers and succeed!
YESC members Joy Douglass and Kathleen Alcock show they have the courage to make our world a better place by recycling. Since the YMCA Earth Services Corps club began its recycling program in January 2011, CMS has prevented more than 65,000 pounds of paper and cardboard from going to the landfill.
STagE frighT is never in the vocabulary of the CMS “Peter Pan” cast, above. In scene 8, the Lost Boys look on as Elizabeth Passavant (Wendy) and Drew Cook (Peter Pan) converse as Chloe Cribbs and Connor (Hook and Smee) lurk behind them. (Left) CMS students Om Patel, Matthew Evans and Nate Schilling pose with Adam, the first robot completed under the Genesis Project. Along with these students, a tenacious and courageous Gavin Evans has worked countless hours in the CMS library afters-school program to make Adam move backward and forward. Their next goal is programming Adam to pick up objects.

dessert of the month CLub and Pen Pals-Santek, Prospect's BEST Partner supports our school so much that we are always trying to think of ways to give back.This year we continued with a Dessert of the Month Club, but added a special Pen Pal project that took place at Christmas. All students were given an employee name at Santek and classes were asked to write a letter of thanks that would be delivered with their desserts. Employees were overjoyed receiving the letters and some even posted the letters in their offices!
Leadership Crew The Leadership Crew traveled to Bradley Central High School on March 31 to greet high school students and to encourage them by handing out "Encouragrams" with mints taped to them. The students opened doors and greeted people with smiles as a simple way to say, "You can lead no matter how old you are!"
students InternatIonaL brought a team of 15 young ladies to Prospect all the way from the Dominican Republic! Prospect Elementary has supported this organization and local graduate, Chelsie Blackburn, by collecting change in order to purchase shoes and equipment for the students on their volleyball team. Students International was able to send this group to America to enter a volleyball tournament, partly because of the support of Prospect Elementary. The team demonstrated a cultural dance and played a quick 5-point game of volleyball for the students! This was part of our initiative to give back locally, nationally, and INTERNATIONALLY!
ProsPeCt eLementary took a different approach this year on our Live Wax Museum. In order to support the Book Fair, students chose a book character or author and were asked to write a 30 second to oneminute speech about that character or author. Parents and students dropped coins and dollars in the character's buckets to make them come alive!
the famILy nIght event for the Book Fair included all 32 characters who served in two shifts by lining the hallways dressed in full costume ready to give their speeches to anyone who donated to the event.

Smithers trained TTU students to create visuals for the conservation game.(Video is available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=630lB-sLEnc. Make sure to check the HD setting.)
Tennessee Aquarium/Tennessee Tech unveil 3D virtual snorkeling for students Chattanooga — The Conasauga River, which flows along the Tennessee/Georgia border about an hour and a half from downtown Chattanooga, is incredibly alive. Within its crystal-clear waters live 76 native fish species, more than the Colorado and Columbia rivers of the West combined. These fishes, and the dozens of other animals that make up the aquatic community, live within less than 1 percent of the area of those other two watersheds. “Whenever we take students snorkeling in the Conasauga, they are changed by the experience,” said Dr. Anna George, director of the Tennessee Aquarium Conservation Institute. “They see all of this life — right here in our backyards — and realize that we live in a special place worth protecting.” Traveling with large groups to the river is impractical. But now there’s a way to bring the river to students at Chattanooga’s Tennessee Aquarium, thanks to a new collaborative project with the BusinessMedia Center at Tennessee Tech University. Oculus Rift goggles allow users to become immersed in a 3D, virtual-reality world that offers high-definition visuals in a 360-degree field of view. Computer processing speeds have become powerful enough to allow Oculus users to look up, down, or behind themselves, and the complex scenery seamlessly follows their motions. The gaming industry has been rushing to develop content ever since Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg purchased Oculus VR for a cool $2 billion in cash and
Facebook stock. “The Rift is highly anticipated by the gaming community,” said Zuckerberg in a Facebook post announcing the acquisition. “But this is just the start. After games, we’re going to make Oculus a platform for many other experiences.” While most developers are rushing to complete entertainment projects by the widespread release of the Oculus Rift system, which is forecast to be available by Christmas this year, others — like Tennessee Tech — have forged a different path focused on education. “When we first started thinking about virtual reality projects, we thought about partnering with the Tennessee Aquarium,” said Kevin Liska, director of the BusinessMedia Center at TTU. “We felt there was a tremendous opportunity to develop the world’s first environmental education virtual reality game.” The idea to create a snorkeling game came from Thaddeus Taylor, the aquarium’s learning specialist. While on a snorkeling trip to the Conasauga River, Taylor wondered aloud, “How can we give all of our aquarium student groups this unique experience without having them travel to this remote location?” Six months ago Liska, and a project team of eight people from TTU, met with aquarium educators and scientists from TNACI to brainstorm how to captivate students with a new virtual reality lesson plan. “It was an ambitious project, but between our team and the aquarium’s, we were drawing on 16 different academic backgrounds,” said Liska. “So the final
product isn’t just a cool game idea, it’s a way to immerse students in an environmental lesson that’s rooted in science.” When school groups book a field trip this fall, they will be able to add the “Stream Scene Extreme,” a classroom program based on the Oculus Rift project, to enhance what they experience in River Journey and Ocean Journey at the Tennessee Aquarium. “This is very much like snorkeling a thriving river,” said Taylor. “Virtual reality allows us to place them in a healthy ecosystem and then create different pollution events for the students to actually experience.” As the water changes from clear to murky, species begin to disappear. It’s up to the students to surface and become environmental superheroes by identifying the source of the pollution. Then they must choose the right corrective action, or actions, to restore the watershed. A group of Red Bank Middle School students seemed engrossed in the game when they “test drove” the Oculus project in March. One student who was initially reluctant to try the Oculus goggles, was very excited by what she saw, saying “It was super cool!” Liska’s team is sharing this groundbreaking Oculus project with the world, hoping it becomes an environmental education game-changer. “In addition to reaching students at the Tennessee Aquarium, we will post this on the Oculus website for everyone,” said Liska. “Making this project publicly available for classrooms and homes across the nation is really exciting, because it may help encourage

Summer camp goes wild: Kids find fun at animal shelters LOS ANGELES (AP) — Children who love to dance, act or play sports have summer camps specialized just for them. But many parents don’t realize that kids who are passionate about pets can have the same immersive experience. Thousands of youngsters ages 6 to 17 will attend day camps this summer at hundreds of animal shelters across the country. The urge to nurture animals starts early — especially with pets becoming key parts of families — giving rise to the popularity of programs that offer budding veterinarians and other young animal lovers a way to help dogs and cats and learn the responsibilities of owning pets. “This is absolutely one of the fastest growing programs at the shelter,” said Christen Benson, executive director of the Humane Society of Sarasota County, about 50 miles south of Tampa, Florida. But, she said, the first question from parents often is: “What are they going to do, clean the kennels?” “These camps aren’t about getting free volunteers in to scrub cages,” said Michelle Ramos, director of education for the Arizona Animal Welfare League & SPCA in Phoenix. They are designed to introduce children to animals and show them how the creatures fit into their world, Ramos said. Campers learn to feed, exercise, wash, train and care for dogs and cats. In some camps, older youths can watch a surgery, help with minor stitches and monitor an animal patient to
test out careers in the field. Caroline Golon of Columbus, Ohio, is building a national database of camps on crayonsandcollars.com, her national blog for pets and kids. So far, she’s found over 250 shelters with camp offerings. “Many parents don’t know it’s an option for their animal-loving kids, and some of the shelters have truly incredible programs,” Golon said. Sisters Taryn and Kayla Alessandrino, 23 and 26, respectively, went to camp in Phoenix over a decade ago when the programs were just getting started. Taryn Alessandrino has since gotten her veterinary technician license and returns to the shelter each summer to help with classes. Kayla Alessandrino is in her last year of veterinary school in Scotland, and her sister awaits the day they can set up a practice. “I thought I wanted to be a vet, too,” Taryn Alessandrino said. “One day, we got to go in where they were doing spay and neuter surgeries, and I instantly realized that was not something I could do.” She enjoys taking temperatures, measuring heart rates or giving shots, so she became a vet tech. “Since I was able to walk, I wanted to be around animals. They are great, so calming and can cheer you up if you are having a bad day. They are therapeutic,” said Alessandrino, who has five cats, three dogs, a leopard gecko and a bearded dragon at home. At the Arizona Animal Welfare League & SPCA, campers get to meet exotic animals at

Guapo, a 5-foot iguana, is the most popular, Ramos said. Some older participants can watch animal surgeries and even help in some minor procedures. More than 700 kids went through the Phoenix camps last summer, and more are expected this year. Most camps last five days, and prices range from $125 for half-days to $325 for full days. In Florida, the Humane Society of Sarasota County launched its camp three years ago to give children ages 7 to 12 a
chance to bond with animals, play animalthemed games, make animal-themed crafts and hear from speakers. When camps start, about half the kids have pets at home, said Benson of the shelter. When it’s over, about two-thirds of the participants own animals, because their families have adopted furry friends. ——— Online: — https://aawl.org — www.hssc.org — www.crayonsandcollars.com/shelterprograms-for-kids-2
Estefan musical finds its stars AP photo
In thIs Photo, Ana Villafane arrives at the Kids’ Choice Sports Awards at UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles. Villafane will make her Broadway debut opposite Josh Segarra in “On Your Feet!”
NEW YORK (AP) — A Cuban-American actress who attended the same Miami high school as Gloria Estefan and an actor who stars on USA’s “Sirens” have been chosen to star on Broadway as Gloria and Emilio Estefan in a musical based on the groundbreaking entertainers’ lives. Producers said Monday that Ana Villafane, who appeared in the film “Magic City Memoirs” and who initially auditioned via video to play Gloria Estefan, will make her Broadway debut opposite Josh Segarra in “On Your Feet!” Segarra has been seen off-Broadway in “Dogfight” and on Broadway in “Lysistrata Jones.” He has a recurring role on NBC’s “Chicago PD” and a guest appearance on Showtime’s “Homeland.” The musical will begin performances Oct. 5 at the Marquis Theatre after a stop this summer at the Oriental Theatre in Chicago, from June 2 through July 5. Jerry Mitchell, who directed “Kinky
Boots,” will helm the show, with Sergio Trujillo choreographing. The story will be written by Alexander Dinelaris. The Estefans were born in Cuba and together became musical luminaries in Spanish and English, winning Grammy Awards and fans across the U.S. with crossover hits like “The Rhythm is Going To Get You,” ‘’Conga” and “Words Get in the Way” They also helped the careers of other artists, including Shakira, Ricky Martin, Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony and Jon Secada. The musical, which will have several members of Miami Sound Machine in the orchestra, will include the hits “Get On Your Feet,” ‘’Don’t Want To Lose You Now” and “Coming Out Of The Dark,” in addition to an original song written by Gloria and daughter Emily Estefan. ——— Online: http://OnYourFeetMusical.com
