On September 29, 2017 St. Mary Catholic School had their 11th annual Walk-a-thon for technology.

For the past eleven years, the students have raised money by walking for an hour to raise money for technology needs for the school while giving back 10% of their earnings to Gleaners Food Bank. Students enjoyed the fresh air and beautiful sunshine ZKLOH ZDONLQJ DURXQG WKH VRFFHU ¿HOG )ULGD\ DIWHUnoon. “This is a great fundraiser for our school,” said Principal Veronica Kinsey. “Students get outside for some fresh air and exercise while raising money to keep up with technology needs of St. Mary School and as a bonus we raise money for Gleaners Food Bank in Howell.” The goal was to raise $5,000.00 to purchase new iPads for the Kindergarten and First Grade classes.

Cross Country Skiing For Kids!

Cross country skiing is a fun winter sport that is easy to get involved in, especially when you live in a place that gets lots of snow! The snow can be in a school field, your back yard or some trails. Cross country skiing also has many health benefits. It is an aerobic exercise and works the muscles in your legs, back, chest and stomach. Plus, its a fun social activity with your family and friends.

The equipment you need includes a set of skis, poles, warm clothing and boots. Make sure your warm clothing is also waterproof!

The following paragraphs offer some information on techniques, but the most important advice is to make sure you take lessons from a qualified instructor before you begin.

At first when you are learning how to cross country ski, make your outings short distances. You'll naturally end up using a technique some people call the "shuffle". It involves nothing more than sliding one ski ahead of the other, and repeating the entire process over and over again. Without even thinking about it, you'll be pushing off with a kick stride, moving forward with a glide stride, and vice-versa. At the same time, you'll intuitively use your poles for balance and to help push yourself forward with every stride. It's very easy to do, and you will get in the swing of things after five or ten minutes. What's more, you'll fit in with the many skiers who show up at popular trails on sunny weekends and use nothing more complicated than this shuffle technique.

Going up hills: Once a hill gets too steep, you will have to use the herringbone technique. You do this by pointing the tips of you skis outwards and walking up the hill. The trick to successfully using this technique is to make sure the inside edge of the ski is angled down. This allows the edge to dig into the snow giving the necessary traction to walk up the hill. Don't forget to simultaneously use your poles to help push you up the slopes and hills. It's called the herringbone technique because it leaves a herringbone pattern in the snow. You will probably find it awkward the first time you use it, but you'll get used to it after a while.

Going down hills: Going down a long gentle slope is fun and easy.

Keep skis in the tracks and enjoy the ride. But coming down a relatively narrow trail on a steep hill can be scary and dangerous. Under these

conditions, it is important to use the snowplow technique to reduce your speed. You do this by keeping the tips of the skis pointed inwards. Again, the trick to successfully using this technique is to keep the inside edges of the skis angled downwards.

This allows the edge to dig into the snow and maximize your breaking power. As a beginner, you should start applying the snowplow technique at the very top of a hill before you have had a chance to pick up too much speed. If you do find yourself going down too fast, your only option may be to sit down.

Leaf Rubbings Are Great Fun! An artist looks at ordinary things and sees hidden treasures. As our trees around us lose their leaves, many people see brown dead looking branches for the winter. An artist looks at the leafless trees and sees beautiful lines. Many people look at fall leaves as a mess to be cleaned up. An artist picks up the leaves and sees lines and texture and beauty. Look at our world with artist’s eyes and see hidden treasures everywhere.

Here’s how to create a fall treasure!

1. Collect 1-5 different leaves. They can be different by size of leaf or by kind of leaf.

2. Place a leaf on a flat smooth surface with the roughest sides of the leaf pointing up.

3. Take a piece of paper and place over the leaf.

4. Using the flat end of a crayon or a broken crayon with paper removed, rub in a back and forth motion on the paper over the leaf.

Since 1960

5. Do this again placing other leaves under the paper and use different crayon colors. Repeat this until all of the paper is full. Hint: Let your rubbing go off of the page for a neat look or slightly over lap colors and leaves.

6. When you are finished, take a moment to study the lines and textures of each leaf. You are seeing a hidden treasure in your world with your artists’ eyes.

7. What else could you make using leaf rubbings? You could fold your beautiful leaf paper in half to make a fall card for someone special. You could you make an animal, butterfly or silly monster placing your leaving in different ways. Be creative and have fun!

I Want To Be A Park Ranger!

A park ranger is a person who duties are to protect and preserve protected parklands, forests (then called a forest ranger), wilderness areas, other natural resources and protected cultural resources. Some countries use the term "park warden" to describe this occupation.

The duties of the modern park ranger are as varied as the parks where they serve and in recent years have become more highly specialized. Regardless of the regular duties of any one job, the goal of all rangers remains to protect the park resources for future generations and to protect park visitors. This goal is accomplished by the professionalism and sometimes overlapping of the different divisions of the job. For example, an interpretive ranger may perform a law enforcement role by explaining special park regulations to visitors and encouraging them to be proper stewards of natural and cultural history. Law enforcement rangers and other park employees may contribute to the mission of the interpretive ranger by providing information to park visitors about park resources and facilities. The spirit of teamwork in accomplishing the mission of protecting the parks and people is underscored by the fact that in many cases, the U.S. National Park Service in particular, park rangers share a common uniform regardless of the work assignment. * Dispatcher: Some rangers work as park dispatchers, answering emergency calls and dispatching law enforcement rangers, wildland fire fighters or Park EMS crews by radio to emergency calls.

Dispatch rangers are assigned to the Park Protection Division. * Park Guards: Guards check to see that gates are locked, that closed roads are not in use, that unauthorized persons keep out of closed or sensitive areas, etc.

* Law enforcement: Law enforcement rangers have police powers and enforce federal and state criminal laws and park regulations to provide a crime-free environment both for the safety of the visiting public and the protection of park resources. * Interpretation and education: Park Rangers provide a wide range of informational services to visitors. Some Rangers provide practical information—such as driving directions, train timetables, weather forecasts, trip planning resources, and beyond. * Emergency response: Rangers are often trained in wilderness first aid and participate in search and rescue to locate lost persons in the wilderness. * Firefighting: Rangers are often the first to spot forest fires and are often trained to engage in wild land firefighting and in some cases structural fire fighting. Rangers also enforce laws and regulations regarding campfires and other fires on park lands. * Maintenance: Some rangers perform routine maintenance on facilities or equipment - especially in preparing for winter closures and spring re-openings. * Administration: In many cases administrative staff members are categorized officially as park rangers and may wear the distinct park ranger uniform while working "behind the scenes" to ensure the continued operation of the parks.

Ouch! My Head Hurts!

Lots of kids have headaches from time to time.

But what are headaches? Even though it may feel like it, a headache is not a pain in your brain! Your brain may tell you parts of your body hurt, but it can’t actually feel pain. Most headaches are located outside your skull, in the nerves, blood vessels and muscles that cover your head and neck.

Sometimes the blood vessels and/or muscles swell up. They can also tighten or put pressure on the surrounding nerves. The nerves send a message to the brain and you end up with a headache.

What Causes A Headache?

The most common type of headache is a tension headache.

This happens when head or neck muscles keep squeezing too hard. The pain is dull and constant.

Pain that is sharp and throbbing can be a sign of a headache called a migraine. These are not common headaches for children to have. Just before a migraine, kids sometimes see wavy lines or bright spots of light called an aura. Migraines can also make a child feel sick to their stomach.

A headache can be part of another illness like a cold or flu. When the child gets better, so does the headache.

If you’re not sick, other things may cause a headache. Here are some examples: staying up too late, skipping a meal, playing in the sun, worry, stress, riding in a car, straining your eyes, strong odors (such as perfume), smoke, or fumes. In some kids, foods can cause a headache such as: caffeine in sodas, chocolate, coffee, tea, bacon, bologna, or hotdogs. Some families are prone to more headaches than others.

What Helps A Headache Go Away?

When you get a headache, rest sometimes helps. Tell a responsible adult (like mom or dad) that your head hurts. A cool, moist cloth across your forehead or eyes may help. A grown up can give you a pain relief medicine, either acetaminophen (uh-see-tuh-minuh-fuhn) or ibuprofen (ahy-byoo-proh-fuhn). If your headache doesn’t go away or you get them often, it is important to make sure your doctor knows about it. Your doctor can help you and your parents figure out why they are happening, and find the best way to get rid of your headaches.

School Experiment Usually when you think of an experiment, you think of science. Well, last year my school life was an experiment. I tried a school that is uncommon online school. What I noticed is that online school is actually almost the same thing as a brick and mortar school: curriculum, teachers, classmates, and learning. The biggest difference though is that online school is more relaxed. I noticed that for online school, I had to be more responsible because there weren’t people around me reminding me of the work I needed to do. The thing that worries people the most about online school is that it may be lonely, but for me it was the opposite.

Coming back to the Islamic school brought back P\ IDPLO\ VXSSRUW DQG FXOWXUH , FDQ QHYHU ÂżQG that in an online school. In conclusion, a mix of both types of schools is the best.

What Is Hibernation and Migration?

Winter is very cold. There is snow and ice on the ground. We live in warm houses. What do animals do?

The biggest problem for most animals is finding enough food.

So, some animals sleep all winter! It is a very deep sleep called hibernation. They need little or no food and hibernation allows them to conserve energy. Bears and chipmunks hibernate! So do frogs, snakes and even some bugs.

Most hibernators prepare in some way for the winter. Some store food in their burrows or dens, to eat when they awake for short periods. Many eat extra food in the fall while it is plentiful. It is stored as body fat to be used later for energy. Hibernators have two kinds of fat: regular white fat and a special brown fat. The brown fat forms patches near the animal's brain, heart and lungs. It sends a quick burst of energy to warm these organs first when it is time to wake up.

True hibernators go into such a deep sleep that they are difficult to wake and may appear dead. Their body temperature drops and their breathing and heart beat slow down significantly. If an animal lives in an area where the winter is mild, it may hibernate only briefly, or not at all. However, even when the weather is severe, hibernators may wake up for short periods every few weeks to use their "toilet rooms" and eat if food is available.

The largest hibernators are the bears. Although a grizzly or black bear's heart rate may drop from a normal of 40-50 beats per minute down to 8-12, its temperature drops only slightly, allowing it to wake up quickly. These bears are also unique because, unlike other hibernators, they do not eat, drink, or excrete at all while hibernating, which can be as long as six months.

Other hibernating animals do not experience major changes in temperature, heart rate and breathing. Animals such as skunks, raccoons and some chipmunks are the light sleepers, easily awakened. They may sleep during the most severe weather and wake to roam and eat during milder weather.

Some birds fly south for the winter. We call this migration. You can often see them gathering because most birds fly together.

They go to a warmer place to find food when the weather starts

getting colder and the food supply becomes less. Other birds stay here all winter and we can help by feeding them!

PROJECT - FEED AND OBSERVE WINTER BIRDS SAFETY NOTE: Please read all instructions completely before starting.

Observe all safety precautions.

What you will need: • An empty plastic milk or water bottle, or a milk carton • Scissors, string, bird seed What to do: 1. Wash the bottle or carton and rinse it well. Cut several small (23") holes in the sides, about 2" from the bottom. Cut or poke two small holes near the top and thread a long piece of string through them.

2. Fill the bird feeder with seeds and hang from a tree or shrub.

Scattering some seeds on the ground can help the birds find the feeder. Watch the birds. Be patient. Try different types of seeds and different locations. Record your observations.

The harp is not like any other member of the string family. It is a plucked or strummed string instrument that is usually triangular in shape. The plane of strings is perpendicular to the soundboard unlike the guitar, violins, zithers and auto harps which have their strings running parallel to the sound board.

Harps come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and weights. There are small ones that sit on your lap and large ones that sit on the floor. All of them consist of three parts - the resonator, the neck and the strings.

pedals. This new double-action system allowed harpists to play a wide variety of music without having to re-tune their harp for each piece. By the middle of the 18th century, the harp had become so popular, composers began to include parts for the harp in their compositions for the symphony orchestra.

A person who plays the harp is called a harpist or harper. Typically, folk/Celtic musicians prefer the term “harper,” whereas classical/pedal musicians prefer “harpist.”

Harpists use all of their fingers, except for the last finger on each hand. It is thought to be too short and weak to effectively pluck a string.

Each finger is given a number, one through five to help in the performance of printed music.

Different types of harps are found in Africa, Europe, North and South America, and a few parts of Asia.

The harp is one of the oldest instruments.

It was very popular in ancient Egypt - the oldest depictions are from 4000 BCE.

Concert grand harps have seven pedals - one for each of the seven notes of the scale. Three pedals are controlled by the left foot and four pedals by the right foot. To change the pitch of individual strings, either up or down, the player presses any one of seven pedals with their feet.

The pedals shorten or lengthen the length of the strings to provide the harpist with the ability to play sharps and flats. Each pedal has three positions. Each position is held in place by notches in the base of the harp.

During the Renaissance in Europe, large floor harps began to be built. Then in 1782 in France, the double-action harp was invented, allowing the player to raise and lower the pitch of the strings with foot
