ost adults have a favorite educator or two, someone who they remember as being a great influence on their lives. I remember my high school writing teacher and the high school librarian, who encouraged me to write and to read great books. We also have those educators who we don’t remember so fondly. I remember two such teachers. In seventh grade, my geography teacher left the students alone each day with their colored pencils and plain paper on which to trace and label maps of various continents. In 10th grade, my world history teacher sat at the front of the room and had the students read the textbook and answer questions printed at the ends of the chapters each day. Every once in a while, he would show a video for a change of pace. What I remember is their lack of energy for teaching. Our Exemplary Educator this round, Kendra Steiner, is one who will not be remembered for this. While some Exemplary Educators are chosen for awards they have won or ingenuity in the classroom, Steiner was chosen based on her boundless energy and “can-do” spirit. Our Super Student, Dylan Folda, is known at Westside High School for being friendly to younger students, and is an enthusiastic supporter of school sports. This issue’s Young Hero, Millard South High School student Kali Herbolsheimer, has been involved with several Unified Sports programs. She has also helped in special education classrooms and hopes to become a special education teacher someday. Herbolsheimer, like Steiner, has an abundance of energy. In fact, energy was the comon denominator between many of my favorite educators. Perhaps Herbolsheimer will one day be remembered as a favorite teacher.

ur 71 Catholic schools continue to be the top choice for many Omaha families across the 23 counties of the Archdiocese of Omaha. Nearly 20,000 children thrive in these communities that prioritize faith, family, service, academics, and coor extra-curricular engagement. Some of our achievements this year include increases in: • Innovative programming, such as Roncalli’s Career Academy • National Blue Ribbon Award winners • Campus ministry offerings, such as Skutt’s discipleship program • Extra-curriculars, such as St. Philip Neri’s LEGO robotics team (which is going to the championships in their first year) • Impact from our graduates, such as the Gross Catholic alumni heading ReRUNS R Fun • Inclusion of students with intellectual and developmental disabilities, as enrollment in Madonna School & Community-Based Services expands into St. Robert Bellarmine and St. Pius X/St. Leo Omaha natives are familiar with the long tradition of excellence in our schools, like ACT scores that are above the state and national averages, and a 99% graduation rate. What people don’t know is how hard we strive toward our ultimate goal of being accessible and affordable for every Nebraskan. With the help of donors, churches, and organizations like the Children’s Scholarship Fund, we are able to continue serving more students from families in poverty, non-English speaking families, and students with diagnosed learning disabilities. Visit our website and follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram (@ArchOmahaSchool) to see good news from all of our schools: There is a convenient school finder, a listing of career opportunities, and access to countless stories of good news from our families and faculty.

s one school year comes to a close, we move into summer mode. Learning, however, is a year-round activity. BPS offers two summer programs. Summer school is offered for students entering K-sixth grade for three weeks in June. Secondary summer school will be offered for students entering grades seven12 for four weeks in June. There is no cost to enroll student(s) in the program. Science, technology, and math camps provide in-depth curriculum experiences at high levels for incoming sixth and seventh grade students. All three camps integrate engineering into the classes. The camps are offered in three one-week sessions from the end of June through first part of July. Cost and registration details are available online. Reflecting on the great accomplishments for Bellevue Public Schools this year… • Work is underway on our strategic plan—a road map to help us toward even greater success. • We continue to renovate, rehabilitate, and improve facilities through our bond program—providing students with access to new technology, educational and recreational resources, and safe, secure environments. • We are in year two of our $1.4 million grant from the U.S. Department of Defense. The grant supports advanced STEM and the three-year College Readiness Program from the National Math and Science Initiative. • We are also in year two of a five-year, $1.25 million grant from the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) Partnership that has allowed BPS to provide elementary teachers access to STEM resources, curriculum, activities, and professional learning. It takes everyone being an advocate for the students of the Bellevue Public Schools—that makes us Champions for Children.

lkhorn Public Schools is grateful for another year with many celebrations in the classroom, through extracurricular activities, and in our supportive community. Our staff continues to believe in the potential of all students and remains dedicated to maintaining a sense of community while managing the challenges that come with our continued, unprecedented enrollment growth. Some of this year ’s many high lights include: • EPS was again the only district in the state to maintain the Nebraska Department of Education’s highest AQuESTT rating of “Excellent.” • For the eighth consecutive year, EPS was named to the Advanced Placement Honor Roll. • We remain committed to system-wide, continuous improvement models that ensure we are purposeful about always getting better because helping students prepare for their future matters to us. EPS continues to be dedicated to preparing students for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead while shaping them into responsible, lifelong learners. We are already looking forward to the upcoming 2020-2021 school year, another year of excellence in all facets of our students’ education, when we will add a third high-performing high school to our system with the Elkhorn North High School Wolves.

hen you look at Millard’s history, one thing is clear. The people of Milla r d have al w ay s p u t education first. Even before there was a town of Millard, records show the first school was established in 1868. George Potwin was the teacher, and he had six pupils. If only Mr. Potwin could see our schools today! We just marked the final phase of our one-to-one technology roll out. Five years ago we star ted by giving each student in our Early College program a laptop computer. This past January we issued iPads to every third-grader. Now in Millard every third through 12th grade student has his or her own digital device. Students can complete research on the internet or connect with teachers and classmates through Google Drive. They can let their creativity flow with access to the full Adobe suite of tools. Snow day? The instruction continues through eLearning. While you are there, remember to #BeKindOnLine. We are partnering with our families to start the conversation about the importance of good digital citizenship. We’ve transformed through the centuries from a one-room schoolhouse to learning anytime, anywhere. Millard may look different than it did in the mid-1800s, but we still want the same thing—the best opportunities possible for our children. We are thankful for our community’s support and we are #Proud2bMPS!

s this school year comes to a close, we take note of the exceptional opportunity before us to focus our work, expand excellence, and see our young people achieve. This year, Omaha Public Schools finalized and launched our Strategic Plan of Action, which will drive our collective work on behalf of students. Research, reviews by educational experts, and more than 680 hours of input from stakeholders across our community guided the development of our plan. Priorities focused on academic achievement, recruiting and retaining the best staff, financial accountability, and demonstrating an ethic of care for those we serve, which unites us on behalf of 54,000 young people. This roadmap will guide our district through 2025, and I am excited to continue the journey forward. We celebrated the completion of work at several schools with gratitude for the Omaha voters who supported both the Phase 1 and Phase 2 bond programs. Renovations and cons tr uc tion will continue, offering students vibrant and engaging spaces to learn. Driving through the community, you’ll see construction progressing on five new schools: two new high schools, two new elementary schools, and one new middle school. As our students and families prepare for summer break, we encourage everyone to continue learning. At least 20 minutes of daily reading for students supports a strong start to the next school year in August. Thank you for your support of our students, staff, and district community. We are stronger because of it. I am grateful to serve and I wish you a wonderful summer.

As we head into the 2020-21 school year, our future is brighter than ever. Our commitment to helping ALL children remains our top priority. We are proud that the demographics of our 6,000 children mirror that of the city of Omaha. We are excited that we have the programming and highly qualified staff to help our students earn acceptance into prestigious colleges and universities, directly enter the workforce, pursue community college degrees or workplace certifications, and anything/ everything in between. We have something for everyone. From early childhood through 12th grade programming, from fine arts to athletics, from math to science and language arts, from career preparation to special education—all with activities, clubs, and educational support for the whole child— Westside is ready to lead the way. We continue to promote the “We” in Westside. We remain focused on being a place where anyone and everyone feels welcome, accepted, and part of the District 66 family. One of our themes and focuses for this school year is to “make an impact.” Westside Community Schools is committed to making a positive impact on each of our students and their families. As a school system, we are committed to making a positive impact on the great city of Omaha. We wish all of our fellow metro school systems a safe, successful, and amazing school year. Together, “We” can all help make Omaha even better.

IGH SCHOOL can be an intimidating place, especially as a freshman. Learning where classes are located, finding a locker and learning the combination, and, of course, the “scary” seniors—intimidating, indifferent, insensitive. Westside High School senior Dylan Folda wants to break that stereotype. “My whole senior year, my philosophy is just trying to meet new people and be a friendly guy,” Folda said. “I’ve kind of just dedicated my senior year to trying to connect with other people and make their high school careers more enjoyable.” One way he’s been working toward that goal is through his role in Westside’s student section, known as Red Shield. There are seven leaders in the group, and they are chosen by the previous year’s outgoing crew. In an email, Folda said all the leaders are seniors, and the next round of leaders is chosen from the juniors by the graduating class. “We keep an eye out for outgoing and loud juniors that are involved at WHS and essentially pass the torch to them when we graduate.” As student leaders, their roles include organizing, working concession stands, and emceeing pep rallies. This year’s crew added the goal of branching out and attending more games, such as softball, baseball, and diving meets, to cheer on the Westside competitors in those sports. Folda said it was mostly the “big sports” before. “We’re trying to get to a bunch of other sports,” he said. “[We’re] just trying to show support to everyone else.” Besides being a Red Shield leader, and participating in basketball and track himself, Folda has been a member of Henry Doorly Zoo’s youth volunteer program, known as Zoo Crew, since he was 15. He also takes classes through Zoo Academy. The academy provides students with knowledge and career explorations relating to life sciences through STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) experiences. Folda’s leadership abilities and genuine interest in helping others is evident in his volunteer work there. The youth volunteer coordinator at Henry Doorly Zoo, Troy Solberg, said Folda stands out in the program as someone who works well with the younger volunteers. He said while some high schoolers can be awkward around them, Folda balances being an authority figure with being a mentor.
“Dylan’s funny,” Solberg said. “The little kids really look up to him…Boy, he just rolls up his sleeves and dives right in. I’m not sure who has more fun, Dylan or the kids he’s working with.”
“BOY, HE JUST ROLLS UP HIS SLEEVES AND DIVES RIGHT IN. I’M NOT SURE WHO HAS MORE FUN, DYLAN OR THE KIDS HE’S WORKING WITH.” —TROY SOLBERG Last May, Folda experienced one of his most memorable moments thus far—watching baby giraffe Zoe being born. “It was kind of gross, I’m not gonna lie,” he said. However, he added, “It was the coolest thing I’ve probably ever seen in my life. And the cutest thing.” This experience is just one of many perks of participating in the zoo academy, and Folda said he’s been talking to a lot of underclassmen to try and get them interested. Solberg said some of the kids who become involved with the program have natural leadership ability, while others need help cultivating leadership skills. “[Folda] seemed to be one that was a bit more innate,” Solberg said. “He’s [a] very outgoing, charismatic guy. I think it came much more easily to him to move into a leadership role.” Folda said his original interest in volunteering with the Zoo Crew was simply to learn more about the animals. "But as I spent more time there, it really opened my eyes to the bigger picture of what conservation meant and what the zoo was doing to help all of these different plant and animal species and their habitats," he said. Folda added that while he doesn’t think he will become a veterinarian, he does plan to explore related fields when he attends the University of Nebraska-Lincoln this fall. In the meantime, he is currently working with the hoofstock crew at the zoo and shadowing at Rockbrook Animal Clinic. “It’s just a cool opportunity to get good experience,” he said. Plus, one day “in like, 20 years or so,” he can tell his own kids, “I was there when that giraffe was born.”

ENCOURAGING STUDENTS TO TAKE HIGH-LEVEL COURSES AT BELLEVUE SCHOOLS

T
HE CHILD of an active-duty military member moves between six and nine times over the course of their education. That means they attend six to nine different schools—making and leaving six to nine different groups of friends, often in different parts of the country, or even the world. While studies have been done regarding the effects on children’s mental health and success in making and keeping friendships, just as important are the effects on their success (or lack of) from being moved from one school to another. Bellevue Public Schools, which has a high percentage of students with parents in the military, has been working with a grant from the Department of Defense and National Math and Science Initiative. This grant helps level the playing field so students can walk into a school confident they are getting a good education and potentially walk across the graduation stage with college credits already in hand. Superintendent Jeff Rippe, Ed.D., had been working on a NMSI grant for a while, but the schools were able to implement it in 2018 with the help of assistant superintendent Robert Moore, Ed.D. Moore had experience with NMSI through his previous position at Rogers Public Schools in Rogers, Arkansas. “We had NMSI before, as funded by EXXONMobil,” Moore said. “I had seen what it did with 1,200-2,500 students at that school. I also saw that we had opportunity here that was not being met.” The school district brought NMSI teachers to BPS to show them what the school system is able to achieve at this time. The NMSI staff were able to see that BPS is underserved, and that many students in the system who could take high-achieving courses were not. Bellevue received the three-year NMSI grant last year, and in that first year of assistance, the teachers and the students have seen tremendous success. “We couldn’t begin to give our teachers the resources that NMSI enables them,” said Fran Pokorski, assistant principal at Bellevue West High School. “About 60 teachers get training. They get a mentor. There is a student management system, and they supply a budget each year.” Breck O’Grady is a senior who is benefitting from the program. In his physics class, O’Grady is able to use sensors that allow him and fellow students to look at force, velocity, and more with objects such as a basketball. In another experiment,
the students use smart cars with a spring that enables them to move on their own. Students can then track position using the technology. They can crash the cars to see the impact. It isn’t one vehicle or one sensor—the program enables the classroom to purchase several of each supply so students can work on the same project at the same time. “That’s been great,” said Susan Jensen, assistant principal at Bellevue East High School, who works with Pokorski on this program. “Before we would have had one car, one sensor…if that.” The program also builds in study sessions on 12 Saturdays throughout the school year to enable those students in the program who wish to excel in the AP exams to expand on their knowledge. NMSI flies in experts on those days to work with students. “They want students to learn more than just study skills,” Pokorski said. “They want kids to learn how to collaborate, how to study in groups.” The study sessions are held in one facility and alternate between Bellevue East and Bellevue West, depending on availability. The combined hands-on work and extra help is encouraging more students to go into high-level classes. “Kids can be scared to go into AP,” Jensen said. “Sometimes the extra work is scary for students, and sometimes the extra work for teachers seems tiring.” The NMSI program, however, works to allow students of all abilities, from all areas of the country, the same opportunities. As the teachers become more aware of AP opportunities, more middle-school teachers are thinking about higher-level classes, and they are starting to encourage students to look at higher level classes. Instead of looking at those students who achieve straight As and encouraging them to pursue AP and higher-level classes, they are starting to see potential in students who may not achieve straight As and encouraging them to pursue those higher-level courses as well, because the built-in support enables all students the ability to learn in this system. “We rely on middle-school teachers for course recommendations,” Jensen said. “It’s been nice to have them know what this program is and that any student is capable of working in it.” When it comes to taking the AP tests, the students and staff are more ready than ever to succeed. Students and teachers take the mock exams and the instructors use them
for feedback. They go through the exams with the students and find out where the inefficiencies are, then help students learn to correctly answer the questions. “In chemistry, when we took the mock exam, I barely passed,” O’Grady said. “A lot of things we covered in the beginning of the year I had forgotten. Two to three months later, knowing what was coming, I took the actual exam and I did well on it.” The result of all this emphasis on higher learning has been a culture shift in the schools from a thought of AP courses being scary or only for 4.0 students into the idea that anyone can have the ability to take these courses. The effects are visible. In the 2017-2018 school year, before implementation of this program, 1,179 students were enrolled in AP courses. In the 2018-2019 school year, 1,478 students enrolled in AP courses; and in the 2019-2020 year, 1,643 students are enrolled in AP courses. While taking AP courses is beneficial for knowledge, the potential monetary payoff comes from the exams. With a qualifying score of three or higher, students can earn college credits, exempting them from paying for those classes in college. O’Grady has earned four college credits in chemistry and four in calculus at the University of Nebraska by taking, and excelling in (earning a score of 3 or higher), the AP examinations. In spring 2019, 671 students enrolled in AP courses took a total of 1,222 AP exams. As of December 2019, the district projected that 943 students would take 1,643 exams this school year. Part of the reason for this uptick in exams is the stipend that the grant gives for the fees. The exams cost around $90 each, which is offset for three years by the grant. At that point, the hope is that the culture shift is encouraging people to continue taking these exams, but the money is still important to many students. “If I could have one thing, it would be a continued stipend for paying for these exams,” Moore said. “[We are] thankful for having the ability to have this,” he added. “This is taking time, energy, and effort after hours from staff. Fran and Susan are the lifeblood of this program—their passion has driven the success.”

YOUNG HERO written by LINDA PERSIGEHL photography by BILL SITZMANN
ILLARD SOUTH High School student Kali Herbolsheimer immediately makes an impression on people. Confident, driven, and sure of what’s important to her, this young woman is all about making an impact. “High achiever” also comes to mind. In addition to maintaining a 3.75 GPA, the high school senior and longtime dancer performs and competes with MSHS’ show choir. She’s made varsity all four years on the girls’ golf team, and also serves on student council. As a junior, she was elected student council state president, representing Nebraska on the national level. The position had her coordinating with state chapters across the U.S. to raise funds for Make-AWish Foundation. “One of my high school advisers approached me about the position and encouraged me to go for it,” Kali said. “Giving opportunities to kids who have diseases that might not be able to travel because of their illness or money… standing up for them so they’d have a chance to go on life-changing trips…” It seemed important, she said. Maybe most impressive is Kali’s dedication to Millard South’s Unified Sports programs, participating as a player and other times as a coach. Unified Sports bring together students with intellectual disabilities and students without on the same team, with the goal of fostering understanding and friendship between the two groups. The number of Unified programs at Omaha metro middle and high schools is growing, and Kali is leading the way at Millard South. The past four years, she’s participated in Unified Basketball, Unified Bowling, Unified Cheer and Unified Volleyball. “I also coached a middle school Unified Track team for a while, and this past summer I had a Unified Softball team,” Kali added. “A friend and I together coached a skills team, which didn’t compete but focused on catching and hitting and other parts of the game.” The driven teenager lives with her parents, Jason and Sarah; twin brother, Kohl; and younger brother, Owen. Kali said spending time with close family friends with teenagers who had disabilities while growing up is how she first discovered her affinity for working with special needs children.
“Being around [these children] and seeing how much they’re capable of…I felt I wanted to spread the word throughout the community,” she said. “And I wanted to advocate for them.” Kali has also spent some time in special education classrooms, serving as a special ed teacher’s aid while in middle school. These days, she enjoys dropping into MSHS teacher Leigh Beltzer’s classroom and watching her interact with special needs children. “Ms. Beltzer is one of my mentors and was one of my biggest influences in pursuing Unified Sports,” Kali said. Like Beltzer, Kali plans to become a secondary special education teacher and will study education at the University of “THEY’RE ALL VERY Nebraska at Kearney beginning fall 2020. SUPPORTIVE OF EVERYTHING Another mentor is I’M DOING,” KALI SAID. “IF friend Carly Renken. “C a r l y s t a r te d a I NEED IT, THEY TELL ME TO nonprofit youth music TAKE A NAP, AND REMIND program in Omaha for ME I’M CHANGING LIVES kids with disabilities called Special MusiAND IMPACTING PEOPLE IN cians,” Kali said. “They CRAZY WAYS.” now have three locations in the state. She’s just one year older, but she’s really guided me and given me opportunities where I learned a lot.” Kali said her busy schedule can get a little overwhelming. “I have to color coordinate everything on my calendar so I can keep organized,” she said. “And I’m up late at night, sometimes midnight, doing homework and up early for school a lot. Time management is what gets it done.” She credits her family and close friends’ support for helping her stay motivated. “They’re all very supportive of everything I’m doing,” Kali said. “If I need it, they tell me to take a nap, and remind me I’m changing lives and impacting people in crazy ways.” That’s plenty to keep Kali going.

Viewing Service as Life The Wolfe Family Gives Back
T Left to right: Benton, Ryan, Chris, Paityn, Jaime, Maisyn (in Jaime’s arms), Logan, Camryn, Deacon, and Lincoln Wolfe.
HE WOLFE PACK does something many families envy these days—they sit down and eat dinner together nearly each night. “It’s not as though we have an hour,” said father Chris Wolfe. “Often it is about 15 minutes. We go around the room, and everyone talks about their favorite part of the day.” It’s a fast 15 minutes, as the family includes Chris, mother Jaime, and eight children ranging in age from 13-year-old Ryan to Maisyn, who turned 1 on Jan. 24, 2020. The important part, however, is that they focus on family and positives in life, important values to Chris and Jaime. Chris, an optometrist, works side-by-side with his father, Steven S. Wolfe, who founded Exclusively Eyecare in 1989. He enjoys being able to be part of a family-run organization, which allows him time to see patients and spend time with his own family. The Wolfes belong to St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church, and six of the eight children are students at St. Wenceslaus schools. (Maisyn and 4-year-old Benton will attend when they are able.) They have been sharing their family stories, and their faith, through a YouTube channel over the past two years. “I really wanted a YouTube channel,” Ryan said. “For my birthday two summers ago, I got one.” While the sisters on channel babyteeth4 (who have 959,000 subscribers) post candy reviews and toy videos, and the 9-year-old who goes by EthanGamer (and has 925,000 subscribers) plays video games for viewers, Jaime was insistent that Ryan’s channel reflect their family’s values. “She said she wanted it to be Catholic-appropriate,” Ryan said. “I wanted it to have a good message,” Jaime emphasized. New media isn’t new to the family. Chris runs a podcast on Eye Code Media, a channel set up specifically for optometrists and ophthalmologists. He helped Ryan figure out how to post. Ryan has since discovered she enjoys editing. The channel has been showing the family’s participation in a giving project. Last fall, the kids participated in the Archdiocese schools’ annual “Shine the Light on Service” challenge, for which they created and submitted a video outlining what they would do to help others. The Wolfe family decided on 20 days of giving—spending one month doing good for others. The clan did not win the $1,000 prize to help initiate the challenge, but they have instead taken on the project as a family.
Although they started with 20 ideas, in the end, the five oldest Wolfe children chose one project they were passionate about, and the family has been going through these projects. Lincoln, who turned 12 in early January, chose an animal-based service project. “We went to the animal shelter and brought green beans and marshmallows for the dogs,” he said. The family delivered donations of food and toys to Promise 4 Paws, which takes in older dogs. Logan “Lolo,” who will turn 7 in May, chose a project called “Take Time to Read.” The family bought books off of Amazon during winter break, which they donated to the St. Wenceslaus School’s library. Camryn, or “Camy,” who will turn 9 this May, chose to donate items to Children’s Hospital & Medical Center. The Girl Scout enlisted her friends. The scout troupe went caroling over the holidays, and Camy asked them to bring items before they went caroling. The result was an outpouring of coloring books, board games, and art supplies to help those staying at Children’s Hospital & Medical Center find a bit of fun in their lives. Ryan chose to make a meal for a priest. She cooked enchiladas one night and they took them over to the parish priest’s residence. Paityn, 10, has not completed her day of giving yet, but she knows what she wants to do. “I want to pay for someone’s meal,” she said. “You know, like in the drive-through, or just at a restaurant when they don’t realize it.” The second word was the operative one. “These kids want to do stuff for others,” Chris said. “A lot of it has to do with the fact that their school requires service, but we think it’s important, too.” “It’s easy for Chris and I to make a monetary donation to somewhere, but the kids never see who benefits from that,” Jaime said. “In a lot of ways, we’ve been blessed with opportunities and we want the kids to make sure they know that.” And with the YouTube channel, it will be easy for others to see how the Wolfe family has made an impact on others’ lives. At many of the family service events, Ryan was there with camera in hand. Videos on the site include the family taking supplies to the dog shelter, library, and Children’s. Other videos include a VSCO girl music video the sisters put together for fun, and a video of the family taking a hike up a mountain, looking for signs of God along the way.

ONDAYS HAPPEN. Whether one works in a dream job or one they dislike, everyone has a day where they are low on energy. Everyone, except, perhaps, Kendra Steiner. “School has to be our happy place,” she said. “Even if we come to school tired or sad, we have to leave those feelings at the door and make it a positive day.” She prac tices what she preaches. Steiner gives each student a high-five as they enter and leave the classroom. Steiner had taught kindergar ten at Masters Elementary School with Omaha Public Schools for two years when a statement she made to a new principal came to fruition. “Whatever you need, you let me know,” Steiner said to principal Lynnette Keyes as soon as she was hired in summer 2019. As Keyes settled into her job, she realized she needed a fourth-grade teacher. Keyes asked if Steiner was serious about helping, because she had a big request for her. Steiner immediately said yes. When she star ted teaching four th grade, it felt overwhelming. “This was a big change for me,” she said, “I was suddenly back to teaching fractions and decimals, that, of course, are not taught in kindergarten.” Keyes realized the request was unusual. “It’s not easy for a teacher to switch grades,” said Keyes, “and she didn’t even hesitate.” Steiner's energy is boundless. Keyes was previously principal at Standing Bear Elementary, where Steiner taught summer school. Keyes said Steiner is known for helping students. “Kendra goes out of her way to make sure that she’s connecting with each and every student in her classroom,” Keyes said. “She has even offered to go to other classrooms to work with former students who she connected with in the past if they are struggling.” She knows students sometimes need encouragement. “I struggled with learning to read at your age,” Steiner said to a student who was having trouble with math, “and now I’m teaching it.”
Her path to teaching was non-traditional. She started as a preschool teacher at La Petite Academy. While working there, she earned a degree in education, then continued to earn two master’s degrees. After several months of teaching fourth grade, she said she is glad to be teaching again at the higher level. “It’s exciting to see how kids at this age are blossoming,” she said, “and to help them reach their potential.” Steiner thinks it’s important to create a family community in her classroom where ever yone can feel safe to talk about anything and ask questions without fear of ridicule from their classmates. To reinforce this idea, Steiner has placed a “burden box” in her classroom for students to fill with notes about anything that’s troubling them. Damia Parker, one of her students, likes being able to express herself in this way. “Once I wrote about someone who was being bullied, and Miss Steiner talked to the class about how wrong it was to bully someone,” Parker said. Keyes also described Steiner as a “team player,” as evidenced by the way she made the switch from teaching kindergarten to fourth grade this year. “Mrs. Steiner is a dedicated, hard-working and flexible teacher,” Keyes said. “She is always looking for new strategies to use in the classroom to ensure success for all her students. Mrs. Steiner is a positive role model to both students and staff.” On a snow day in February, Steiner found a way to keep the children engaged and learning even when they were out of class. She sent the students an assignment through her classroom online learning application and awarded her first three students to complete the assignment a free T-shirt. Steiner said walking into her classroom every day makes her happy. “You know in your heart when you’re doing exactly what you’re supposed to be doing,” she said. “It just feels right.” For Steiner, teaching “feels right,” even on Mondays.
“SCHOOL HAS TO BE OUR HAPPY PLACE,” KENDRA STEINER SAID. “EVEN IF WE COME TO SCHOOL TIRED OR SAD, WE HAVE TO LEAVE THOSE FEELINGS AT THE DOOR AND MAKE IT A POSITIVE DAY.”

Many parents will soon need to sit down and have “the talk” with their children. This serious discussion could have an impact on a child’s entire future. The subject matter—what summer camp should they attend? This is a right of passage and tradition for some; for others, it is an introduction to what will become a career or lifelong passion. The following special advertising section highlights several summer camps around the area. Campfires, canoes, and “Kumbaya” are associated with some, while others focus on the arts, sports, and other activities.
GIRL POWER is about TEAMWORK not competition.
