STV voters support J.O. Combs and pass the bond Bond approval heralds many changes at Combs High School including a new auditorium

Alexis Williams Student Journalist

Watching a school play in an auditorium.

Riding to school in a bus that won’t break down.

Using computers that aren’t as old as middle school students.

Though these may sound like things students can do any old day. They haven’t been available to CHS students for some time, but will be soon. After one other failed attempt, a $36.8 million bond has finally been approved by the San Tan Valley voters that live in the J.O. Combs Unified School District boundaries.

The approval brings with it many changes in and around the CHS campus and community.

“There will be an auditorium built near the bandroom,” said principal Brooke Davis. “It will be a multipurpose auditorium, used all day long for different activities, there will be classroom space, presentation space, meeting space, [room for] performances and concerts. [In addition to the auditorium] our agriculture department will be receiving a land lab, where they can actually have classrooms and facilities built for their burgeoning programs that are growing.”

Along with the new developments on the CHS campus, there will be some changes in technology and in school transportation.

“New school buses, new technology, and computers will be here at CHS,” Davis said.

Teachers are optimistic that the improvements and additions will have other positive side effects.

“I hope that [the bond] will help with enrollment and

get more kids coming here, if we could offer [better technology] to them, and better books,” social studies teacher Tiffanie Carlson said.

With all of these changes to the school district expectation and anticipation are already high.

The bond approval is already having a positive impact on community relations.

“I think [the bond passing] will help bring the community closer, I think it will connect the outside community members with the community of the school,” math teacher Lydia Munoz said. “I think having that auditorium will help the community to rely on us and be able to communicate with us more.”

While teachers and students see certain changes in the Combs District more important than others, there is one thing they all agree on. “[The bond passing] is going to allow things to be built that the students need and want and [it will] increase pride in the school,” Miller said.

Creative Writing at CHS: balancing art and learning Seniors only class moves students’ artistic sensibilities away from the ‘hobby’ category

Jess Burnquist CHS Creative Writing Teacher Some things never change in Creative Writing class at CHS. For example, students who take the course must be seniors. Class size is typically small. Often, a student will sign up for the course thinking that it will be a laid back elective. He or she quickly finds out that that the opposite is true.

Course of Study Creative Writing students explore various genres of writing. So far this year, students have written poetry, short stories, narratives, and a screen play. They have studied contemporary and classical writers from all over the world. One of the goals I have for my students is to learn how to develop their own styles and voices based on informed exposure to great literature.

I’ve been teaching Creative Writing at CHS since 2011. When I began as an English instructor here, I inherited a Creative Writing club that had about 5 members. As a teacher who holds an MFA in Creative Writing from Arizona State University, I didn’t want students at CHS who shared a passion for the writing arts to feel marginalized or to have their artistic sensibilities placed under the category of ‘hobby’. My second year at CHS, Creative Writing became an approved class for seniors. Currently, seniors can take the course as an elective or English credit depending on student need.

Community Creative Writing students in the inaugural class at CHS suggested that they host an evening of poetry during Poetry in April in order to showcase their work. Thus began the tradition of CHS Poetry Night. The event has grown into a wonderful celebration of the writing of CHS students and members of the community.

Annual attendance at Poetry Night has grown each year and now features musicians and artists on campus and in the community as well. Students like to plan the event around a theme. This year’s theme is “Chapters”—with an emphasis on the important chapters in our lives (such as graduation) and for the first time ever, Poetry Night will feature the CHS Dance and Arts Department for an artistic extravaganza.

All students and members of the community are welcome. Besides hearing my student read their work on Poetry Night, my very favorite thing is seeing former students attend the event and often share their work with current students during the open mic portion of the

evening. These visits are the glue in the model of tradition we strive to create.

Poetry Night 2017 will be on Saturday, April 22, from 6-9 p.m. at the CHS cafeteria.

Admission is $2.

Scholarship Each year, students from around the United States participate in a poetry recitation competition known as Poetry Out Loud. Students must learn and recite 2 poems that the organization has approved. Students begin with classroom competition, and advance to school wide competition. The winner of the school competition advances to regionals. The winner of regionals advances to state. The state winner competes in Washington D.C. against students from every state in the nation for scholarship awards upwards of fifty thousand dollars.

Learn more about Poetry Out Loud by visiting the national website: poetryoutloud.org.

CHS Creative Writing students are currently preparing for their classroom competitions.

Their school wide competition will take place in January. The benefits of participation in this competition are immeasurable. Student confidence soars over being able to retain and perform the words of revered writers. An appreciation for language is deepened as well as student ability to speak in public. Best of all, I think, is watching students in my class ban together and form an incredible unit of support for one another through the process. I love how they show up for each other. Many of the students I taught five years ago and who forged friendships in my class still keep in touch and even share their current writing with one another—such a beautiful feeling.

Literary Arts Journal Since its inception, the Creative Writing class has produced a platform to share student work.

The first year, students coined the name IMPRINT for a journal that would feature student poetry, short stories, photography and artwork.

They named the journal IMPRINT (the all caps is a tradition too!) to symbolize the artistic marks CHS students are making in the world.

The first edition of IMPRINT was a shareable pdf. Now, it is a thriving website.

Visit: imprintaz.weebly.com Submit: Either submit directly through the website or submit your poetry, short stories, non-fiction, visual art (jpeg), or moving art videos (youtube link) to cwimprint@gmail.com.

IMPRINT IMPRINT is the Combs High School Literary Arts Magazine produced by Mrs. Burnquist’s Creative Writing senior class.

Each year, the Creative Writing students put their stamp on IMPRINT. Some classes opt to have very traditional leadership roles for production. Others like to collaborate with fewer constraints. This year’s crew has opted to form genre committees and appoint an editor-in-chief but they have also created new categories of focus such as Moving Arts—a page that features mini-performances by CHS students. They have also set the goal of seeking submissions in all genres from students beyond the immediate community. Later this year, students will collaborate with a class in Seattle, Washington and New York, New York.

Collaboration While the course is currently only offered to seniors, members of the class lead and facilitate Creative Writing Club. Here, the seniors get to translate writing activities from class to the general population of juniors and underclassmen with an affinity for writing. It’s always thrilling to hear from club members how excited they are to take the course once they become seniors. And, watching the collaboration between grade levels is a joy.

Many who love to write will also recognize the need for solitude or quiet space to mine

one’s thoughts into a cohesive piece of writing.

Creative Writing class at CHS is unique from the other English classes I teach in that I designate extended periods of time specifically for free writing. On any given day, my students can be found writing in their notebooks in a half-lit classroom with music playing. These free writing sessions are the foundation for the structured assignments and collaboration that is required as well. One thing I hope to never change or stop striving for in my course preparation is the precise balance of personal writing and collaboration in the course. I truly believe it is this balance that enables students to learn how to produce greatness together while also making important self-discoveries along the way.

Jess Burnquist was raised in Tempe, Arizona.

She is a recipient of the Joan Frazier Memorial Award for the Arts at ASU as well as a Sylvan Silver Apple Award for teaching. Her work has appeared in The Washington Post, Time.com, NPR.org, Redbook Magazine, Good Housekeeping, Ed Week, Edutopia, and various other online and print journals. Her poetry chapbook You May Feel Your Way Past Me is forthcoming from Dancing Girl Press in the spring of 2017.

Social studies abound at Combs Middle School

Students to showcase social studies work at mock Congressional district hearing Mark Mauro CMS Principal Combs Middle School students are involved in a number of Social Studies related activities this school year. At the beginning of the year, students formed a Social Studies Club on campus. At each student-led meeting, discussion takes place on a particular aspect of history and a particular aspect of geography. The club is making plans to attend the American Heritage Festival in Queen Creek in November. In September, students participated in a number of activities in their Social Studies classes surrounding the Constitution and the election process which included a visit from Arizona Representative Doug Coleman.

When asked if students were looking forward to the Representative’s visit, Seth Fernandez (8th Grade Honors Student) responded, “I’m excited because I’ve never met a government official besides a cop.” Students asked excellent questions to the Representative during his visit. Hayley Allen, 8th Grade Honors Student, asked: “Would you say that kids our age, such as middle school and high school, should really care about elections such as the presidential elections going

on right now?” Representative Coleman encouraged students to study the issues now so that they are ahead of the learning curve when they are of age to vote and know what’s going on at the capital.”

One student asked the Representative if he liked his job to which he smiled and replied, “I do!”

In addition to these great activities, CMS students participated in a number of activities to celebrate our veterans and participated in the election process in November as well as getting involved with the We the People program in December.

We the People is an American government program sponsored by the Center for Civics Education. The program focuses on the evolution and function of the national government. Within the program, mock Congressional hearings occur at the high school level. The middle school teams do not formally compete in these hearings; they showcase their work and growth over the year. CMS is currently planning to organize a team to showcase their work during the mock Congressional district hearing taking place in December.

Combs celebrates Esperanza Award winner, nominees

Ellsworth’s teacher Iris Telfer one of four in state to win

Kelly Guerra Community Education Four teachers across the state of Arizona were selected for the 2016 Esperanza Latino Teacher Awards, and Combs is very proud that Iris Telfer from Ellsworth Elementary is one of those four. Two other Combs teachers, Brenda Bencomo from Ellsworth Elementary and Lydia Munoz from Combs High School, were also nominated.

Esperanza Award Winner Iris Telfer was inspired to become a special education teacher when her brother, suffering a learning disability, was told by a teacher that he wouldn’t amount to anything. She has since made it her mission to ensure that every child feels empowered and valuable. She treats her students as individuals and works at home and on the weekends to ensure that she addresses every child’s specific needs. She learned long ago that forming relationships with her students and focusing on their strengths allows her to capitalize on how they best learn and demonstrate learning.

Iris was born in Brooklyn, N.Y. of Honduran parents.

When she was 18, her stepfather, who was the sole bread winner of the household of six, passed away unexpectedly.

Devastated by the sudden death of her husband, Iris’s mother suffered a major health crisis of her own resulting in Iris becoming the head of the household for her younger siblings. Although numerous friends and family members advised her to quit her studies and work full time to assist the family, Iris stayed true to her plan and took on the roles of parent and sole provider while earning her degree.

Mrs. Telfer is also community minded and coordinates the “Make A Difference Week” at Ellsworth Elementary, a campus-wide initiative teaching all students about the uniqueness, likenesses and differences of their peers receiving special education services. Iris Telfer’s outstanding impact as a Special Education teacher at Ellsworth Elementary stems from her compassion and willingness to work tirelessly for her students.

Nominee Lydia Munoz knows that for many of the Combs High School students in her classroom, learning math is not the top priority for them on any given day.

She has always enjoyed learning mathematics and about the mathematicians that discovered the patterns that we now hold as truths. When a student walks through the door to Lydia’s classroom, they are expected to become mathematicians. There are times that Lydia will “flip” her classroom and assign students a topic to learn and practice with hints around the classroom to guide students. She believes this fosters an individual connection to the group, and a group connection to the whole class. Ultimately, she wants to open students’ minds to the world.

Lydia’s paternal grandfather was born and raised in Honduras and moved to the United States when he was 25. At age 14, Lydia and her family returned to Honduras

and reunited with family members, and she noticed the Honduran culture held a greater focus on people and less on things. When Lydia was 18 years old, she again returned to Honduras as part of a mission trip with members from her church to build a school building for Hurricane Mitch survivors. Witnessing their gratitude and appreciation for education inspired Lydia to go into education with the desire to rekindle that spark and appreciation in American students.

As a result, Lydia builds personal relationships with her students and is mindful that she is not always aware of the hardships her students are enduring each day. Students often come to Lydia to share their stories because they know that she cares and has opened that door of communication.

Nominee Brenda Bencomo has been a public education teacher for over 15 years and began teaching 2nd grade in the J.O. Combs Unified School District in 2007. She is a compassionate and gifted educator who is dedicated to being the best possible teacher for her students. She believes every student can learn and strives to ensure that all students realize their potential. She is able to turn even the most reluctant student into a lifetime learner.

Brenda’s passion for knowledge and strong commitment to helping others was ingrained in her from an early age by her parents.

Brenda grew up in a low income family and learned English as a second language when she began elementary school. While Brenda’s parents were very supporting of her education, they spoke limited English and the language barrier presented a challenge. As the oldest of five children, she assisted with translating for her parents at parent teacher conferences and doctor’s appointments.

Her parents taught her from an early age that she could do anything she set her mind to and encouraged her to never settle for less than you deserve. This support and encouragement led to Brenda being the first in her family

to graduate from high school and college.

Seen as a campus leader, Brenda is often approached by teachers for suggestions on instructional strategies for not only English Language Learner students but all students.

She is patient and kind to everyone in need and always offers assistance without hesitation. Brenda’s focus is always on what is best for students.

Combs is proud to have amazing teachers such as these three highlighted. Iris, Lydia and Brenda were also recognized at the November Governing Board Meeting.

Their dedication and professionalism is what makes a difference in the lives of students, staff, and families.

“ Ranch Roadrunners Rule!”

Students partner with design www.jocombs.org Ranch.JOCombs.org group to build sustainable garden 480-882-3530

Offering: English Language Arts Free All Day Kindergarten Gifted Program Math, Science & Social Studies Band, Orchestra & Music Before & After School Child Care Library Physical Education Preschool Technology COME FIND OUT WHY: RANCH ROADRUNNERS RULE!

Ranch Elementary sixth graders learn firsthand about community service and environment Sixth grade students at Ranch Elementary partnered with the design firm DLR Group and McCarthy Building Companies for the Green Apple Day of Service on Nov. 12 and built a sustainable garden. Students have been learning about environmental sustainability and building the garden provided a hands on opportunity to participate in a project.

According to Premnath Sundharam, Global Sustainability Leader for DLR Group, “As an interdisciplinary design firm, DLR Group | Westlake Reed Leskosky is committed to bringing forth innovative and sustainable designs. The Green Apple Day of Service provides an opportunity to educate the community about the importance of sustainable practices in our environment, as well as be able to service our community.”

Leading up to the event, 6th graders planted flowers in egg containers in the classroom to see how they grow and

adapt to their environment and started their own potted garden. “This project builds off several standards in the science curriculum, as well as coincides with our literature study of The Secret Garden,” shares Ranch 6th grade teacher Mrs. Jackie Cross.

Student Marissa Thomas was ready to start the project early that morning. “Having a green source to help stop pollution in the air is a great thing. I’ve always loved planting, pulling weeds, and just working in the garden.”

She also shared that younger students will use the garden for activities such as measuring the growth and graphing the plants’ progress. Some of the items planted include squash, tomatoes, and edamame so students can enjoy the “fruits” of their labor.

Principal Sue Kruse said that she appreciated this great partnership and looks forward to other opportunities in the future.

Combs students honor veterans

Students say thank you to those who served

Kelly Guerra Community Education Students across the J.O. Combs Unified School District honored Veterans on November 10th with breakfasts, assemblies, and ceremonies.

Combs High School T.V. and Production students created and aired a special Rundown video titled “Tribute to our Veterans” featuring staff members who have served in the military or who had family members who served. Students concluded the video with thank you messages to veterans.

CHS student Kody Kilgore shared, “I have a lot of family members in the military and Veterans Day means a lot to me and my family. I’d like to say thank you to all the veterans who have ever served in our military.”

Combs Middle School students invited veterans to breakfast and were treated to patriotic songs and speeches. Art students created a number of posters and thank you

hearts that were displayed throughout the cafeteria.

Combs Traditional Academy began their day with students and families gathering around the flag pole for a flag raising ceremony, the Star Spangled Banner performed by students Jessica Valdez , Samantha Bourland and Shelby Walag.

Ranch Elementary, Harmon Elementary, Simonton Elementary, and Ellsworth Elementary each held school-wide assemblies with guest speakers and performances. The Combs High School ROTC presented the colors at many elementary sites, and veterans were asked to stand or were brought on stage to be recognized for their service.

“I was honored to be with my granddaughter on Veterans Day,” says Retired Marine Donald Desimone about attending the ceremony at Simonton Elementary.

RESPECT Combs Traditional Academy students observed the raising of the flag and recited the pledge.

SPEAKING UP CMS Students Hayley Allen, Tawny Johnson, and Laine Wise celebrated Veterans Day with speeches.

GRANDFATHER Retired Marine Donald Desimone and granddaughter Destiny Larson celebrated at Simonton Elementary.

SCHOOL PRIDE CHS student Nathan Jacobs and Douglas Geng proudly show off the A+ School of Excellence banner.

In April 2016, Combs High School students and staff received notification they were awarded the 2016 A+ School of Excellence from the Arizona Educational Foundation (AEF).

This prestigious award was given to only 40 schools statewide. Schools are selected after an extensive evaluation process including an application and site visits.

Brooke Davis, Principal, said, “For Combs High School, being awarded the A+ School of Excellence means we have developed a strong foundation for teaching,

learning, and accountability. It drives what we do every day for a constant cycle of improvement.”

“I’m truly proud of the students, staff, and administration at Combs High School,” states Dr. Gayle Blanchard, Superintendent. “This is such an accomplishment as Combs High School opened just a few years ago.”

Combs High School received $500 and an A+ School of Excellence banner. In addition, all staff are eligible for partial scholarships from Argosy University Phoenix.

Hours and hours of rehearsal pays off for Combs High School Marching Coyote Regiment Looking to the past, present and future of band students

J.J. Mixdorf CHS Band Director In June, Combs High School students started to craft their 2016 marching band program entitled “God Only Knows,” which features that song by the Beach Boys in addition to additional music composed by San Tan Valley resident, Travis Larson.

The idea behind the show was to look at the past, the present, and the future of the band students. The hope was that by the end of the third production, ‘God Only Knows,’ the audience would feel a sense of nostalgia, hope, and sentimentality from

the performance.

The band has worked hard this year to make this show spectacular. By the end of the competitive season, the band has learned, tweaked, and perfected this show over a period of five months.

Grueling summer, evening and weekend rehearsals equaling roughly 200-300 hours of practice time was worth it.

The Combs High School Marching Coyote Regiment received the bronze medal at both the Arizona Band and Orchestra Director’s Association (ABODA) State Marching Band Championships and the Arizona Marching Band Association (AzM-

BA) Championships.

This is a school record for the MCR. While the band has qualified for the State Championship for the last five years, this is the first time they have ever had a podium finish.

In addition to their competitions, the MCR performed at the home football games, marched in a Veterans Day parade at Canyon Vistas RV Park for a wonderful group of veterans, and they will be marching in the Queen Creek Holiday Parade and the Loop of Lights.

It is important for the students to experience and participate in these important local events in order to give back to the community that supports them. In the spring semester, the band students will switch gears to concert band, where they hone their craft, audition for honor bands, and participate in adjudicated concert festivals.

For the Combs Band Program, this is the beginning of a tradition of excellence that will continue for years to come.

HARD WORK PAYS OFF Combs High School has an award winning marching band. Students put in 200300 hours of practice over the summer, evenings and weekends

Local business owners convened at Combs High School, hoping to partner with Career and Technical Education (C.T.E.) classes the school offers.

The event was hosted by J.O. Combs Superintendent Gayle Blanchard, C.T.E. Department Coordinator John Scrogham, and Community Education Coordinator Kelly Guerra.

As the event began, attendees from around the Valley gathered in the CHS library to watch a video on students impact on the economy once they graduate from high school, then an overview of C.T.E. programs was delivered by Scrogham.

“It was so informative but it’s also really exciting, that’s probably the biggest thing I’m feeling right now,” Sarai Case said. “I had no idea that the programs existed here and I think that there’s so much potential for interaction multi generationally in our community (through C.T.E.).”

Next, attendees went on a tour of the C.T.E. facilities and programs offered. One thing that many attendees noticed was how the programs have evolved over the years.

“I think back to when I graduated high school, there was nothing really like this.

They taught you the book knowledge, and as far as it went teaching you a job or a skill, it was still book knowledge. It wasn’t hands on,” Case said. “You didn’t actually practice working with a patient and you didn’t actually get to handle the cameras that you might handle later on. It was all just out of the reach of the school system.

So that’s a huge asset to students today that I think will change our society if we continue down that road.”

Technical theater teacher Nicholas Smith, early childhood education teacher Alice Goodrick, computer graphics teacher Paul Schreel and C.T.E. department chair Brian Taylor sat down with attendees and talked about the programs offered and the many ways locals could help the students.

“Obviously in any classroom you get just

the basics. When you get outside, that’s when you really see everything else and you get to enhance what you learned inside the classroom,” James Stewart said. “Because you guys are doing things hands on other than just sitting down in a classroom and taking a test, it makes the transition easier for you guys when you get into the workforce.”

Some people saw the benefits of partnering with the school for C.T.E. classes.

“They see what actually has to happen; for hands on people in the industry whether it be someone teaching or doing masonry, [students] learn from people who are involved in it,” Mike Summers said.

“It’ll get them on the right road, and then they have to decide on where they’re going with that, what level they’re going to take.”

More so than your general ed courses, C.T.E. programs are meant to prepare students for placement in the workforce in addition to post secondary schooling and life after high school.

“Whether it’s putting their ads on craigslist or trying local businesses, going to work freelancing for chambers,” David Malton said. “It’s a fantastic way for them to have a career that they can actually make a living without going to college, because we’re an age in demand and it’s going to be in demand forever now with all the websites. It’s never going to go away. So I think it’s fantastic.”

CTE classes, like medical professions, aim to make the transition from high school to the students profession of choice easier.

“There’s three educations in life. The first one is what your parents teach you, the second one is what you get through school, and then the third one contradicts everything that the first two educations teach you: the real world,” Jimmy Parent said. “CTE is as close as you can get to a segue, the closest you can get to a transition. I think all students should participate in CTE in one way, shape or form.”

Combs students getting CPR certified

CPR certification prepares students for saving lives on and off the campus

Taylor Cochran Student Journalist “Getting CPR certified affected the way I look at an emergency. I now feel more useful so if there really was a situation where someone needed help I’ll know what to do,” first year medical profession student, Gianna Brown said.

Students from the Medical Professions, Sports Medicine, and Early Childhood Education programs recently earned their CPR certification, from Heart Savers Inc., preparing them to save the lives of those on and off campus.

“Being able to help save a life in any situation is a good thing,” Principal Brooke Davis said. “This certification may be needed at home, church, a store, restaurant or one of hundreds of other community based places.”

CPR is a life saving technique used to restart the heart or keep a person alive and stable in an emergency situation.

CPR can also be used on someone until authorities arrive.

“Our nurse can run and get to the gym if

someone is having a cardiac emergency, but the quickest response is the people in the space,” Davis said. “She’ll run, and she’ll get to where she needs to go, and we as administrators will run, but those vital seconds of the first initial incident are super important for someone to step in and begin those basics.”

CPR is a certification that you never know if or when it will come in handy.

“I fished in Alaska for 21 years… I’ve had to use it on the boat several times,” Kishpaugh said. “It’s helped me all the way through my work” Not only can students help a student in distress they can also add the certification to their resume or job application.

“Students who are looking for jobs should highlight any certifications they have,” Davis said. “In a competitive job market, it might be the difference for one of our students to get a job over another person.”

Equally as impressive as the certification is the way the Medical Professions

PRACTICING Combs High School students practice skills learned in CPR certification class. program is impacting the lives of its students.

“As a student at Combs, I was one of the worst kids freshman year, and I [have] hope that when people see me doing my best and getting certified [it] is hope to

them to never give up on their dreams,” Brown said.
