School Trends Impacting Planning for Future Facility Needs
By Jeffrey Olson, Superintendent of Schools Our school district is in the process of completing a facilities study with the purpose of developing a set of recommendations to address the capacity and adequacy of our buildings and grounds for both the short and long term. The task force charged with this goal will complete their work by mid-June with a report to the Board of Education set for July 15, 2013. There are several trends that they will need to consider in developing their ideas and plans. First, and perhaps foremost, technology will be dominant in the delivery of instruction. More instruction will rely on 1:1 devices such as iPads, there will be an emphasis on accessing and evaluating information via the internet, and students will create and publish their work through technologybased devices. School facilities will need to accommodate educational instruction provided through technological means. Second, it is highly likely that school spaces will need to be used by community groups, organizations, and businesses. School buildings will require access and use for meetings, after-school classes, recreation and fine arts activities, and for social
meetings or events. School facilities will need to double as community centers. Third, students may spend more time in school. As we move further in to the 21st century, I believe that the length of our school year will increase and perhaps move to a yearround calendar. The result is that there will be less time for summer repairs and operational costs for utilities and the like will increase. School facilities will need to be more durable and have greater operational efficiency. Finally, there will be even more options for parents and students to chose from for school attendance. School district consolidation is a possibility and more options will be available in terms of charter schools, on-line schools, and home schools. School facilities will need to be adaptable and expandable to meet unpredictable enrollment changes. Effective facility planning for the 21st century requires “thinking ahead.” I am confident that our Facilities Task Force will be considering all possibilities as they craft a set of recommendations to provide educational facilities that adequately address the current and future needs of our students and community.

Academies Provide New Experiences and Opportunities By Lexy Smith, Grade 12 In recent years Saint Peter High School has offered many new classes to the students. There are two really popular ones in particular. These two academies are the High-STEP Academy and the Agricultural Science Academy. Both of these academies are through South Central College. They provide the chance for students to participate and further their education in fields that most do not have the opportunity to do in their high school career. Students wanting to join these programs must fill out an application the year before describing their accomplishments whether they are academic or non-academic. The students also have to provide reasons why they want to be accepted into an academy and why they are the best candidate for it. They have to provide information on their grades and a recommendation from a teacher. The applications received are then processed and the students for the next year are selected. Amanda Bell, in charge of the High-STEP Academy stated, “I started with the High-STEP Health Science Academy three years ago. We started with 25 Saint Peter students and two classes (Health Science and A&P). Now we have 80+ students from six different school districts involved in the program, with six different courses and multiple industry and post-secondary partners. It is a wonderful opportunity for students to explore different health care professions, meet health care professionals and learn about the human body. I love to see the success of students after they have completed the program earning professional certifications, starting their college

career, and working in the health care field.” The High-STEP Academy or Health Science Academy is two courses put into one. It is health science technology where the students wear scrubs and go to River’s Edge Hospital here in St. Peter. The students get to learn about the different occupations at the hospital such as the job of the nurse all the way to the job of the EMT or the surgical procedures. The other half of the course is anatomy and physiology which is the course through South Central College. This portion of the class is online. The students get online assignments then have tests to take at the end of the week. The program is all year round. The Agricultural Science Academy program meets all of the school year as well. The students had to apply for FFA, which is an agricultural group, to be accepted into the program. The course covers plant science as well as animal science. This course consists of in-class activity and field trips to dairy barns, farms, vet clinics, fertilizer plants and much more. This program is set up through FFA. The most interesting part of both of these courses is that the students come from multiple surrounding schools like Le Sueur, Cleveland, St. Clair, and Tri-City United. The experience and the opportunity that these programs open up to the students are unbelievable. The connections the students are able to make and the skills they learn are remarkable. These two programs have only been up and running for a few years but have been rapidly growing. Students love the classes and the opportunities they face. Hopefully the programs continue to grow and more new courses come along.

Weather Conditions Affecting Spring Sports By Lexi Smith, grade 12 This has been an uncommon year for spring sports. The snow has been interfering with the spring sports practices and games. Normally there are a few game or practice cancellations due to the weather in the spring but this school year, spring sports have had an especially hard time running into bad weather. The coaches have had to plan practices and games around the weather conditions. Softball coach Bill Herr says, “The weather has really been hard to deal with. We have only been outside on a diamond 2-3 times. Fundamentally, we have been able to work on things inside, but it’s not like playing on a regulation game field. It has made us all be creative in how we handle practice. By season’s end, we hopefully will have enough games in to make us as competitive as we can. The good news? All teams are in the same situation. As of late April, we have not played a game yet. I think we had 6 games canceled or postponed. Practices have been primarily inside or on pavement somewhere. We did go to Eden Prairie to scrimmage in their dome and we went to Mankato West to practice against their team in their gym. We are lucky enough to have had the armory and a building at the fairgrounds to help vary our routines.” Track coach, Jeff Portugue, states, “I think it is affecting track athletes greatly. It has been very difficult to get in our conditioning workouts. Our distance runners have been toughing it out in the weather but middle distance and sprinters have had a tough time getting outside. We have no area for our athletes to pole vault or throw the discus indoors. We can work on some of the techniques needed in those events but have not had many chances to throw and jump outdoors. I think the largest impact has been on our junior. high athletes or those new to the sport. I think you will see times, distances and heights not as far or fast as in the past few seasons. I think fewer athletes will qualify on standards to the state meet. We have lost four meets this season which is 25% of our season. We have not been outside for many practices which has caused problems due to the fact that other teams need practice space indoors as well. We have worked well together and things seem to be running as well as can be expected at the high school. We have adjusted by using the pool and weight room more this season than any other.” Golf coach, Neil Doose, commented, “Golf has been affected greatly this spring by the weather. We do hit balls indoors, but it is not near the same training you get outside. End of the season tournaments will also be affected a little bit. All teams will be in the same situation and it will be up to the athletes on the team to use weekends and nights to make up for lost time outside and improve their games by tournament time. We have had only one meet canceled at this time, and have had nine postponed. Our first meet is Thursday, April 25 at New Ulm. The weather has not allowed us to work on short game, accuracy, form or various distances and we have not been able to hit our
woods or drivers indoors. We can only practice eight kids at a time indoors so the athletes only practice every other day which is not very ideal. We had been practicing at North gym, but that gym has been unavailable to us since April 18th. We are really lacking spring indoor facilities in St. Peter and this spring has been hard on the golf team. We do as much as we can to simulate real golf shots indoors, but it is just not the same. The good news is that most teams are in the same situation as the St. Peter golfers.” When Kurt Moelter, the Saint Peter High School baseball coach, was asked the same questions he said, “I really don’t see it affecting the end of season tournaments. It has really slowed us down in terms of development. As a coach, it is nearly impossible to assess a team or player when there just hasn’t been the opportunity to see that team or player perform in game situations. We have had to postpone 11 games thus far. Out of 20 games we are allowed to play, five of them will not be rescheduled. The biggest problem we have is indoor space, or the lack of it. There are only two gyms (High School and sometimes North) that are available for ALL spring activities. That makes it very difficult to find practice times/space for all levels. Unfortunately, our lower levels (7-9) are losing valuable practice opportunities. Baseball practices at the high school, but we usually start at around 5:30 p.m. and go for a couple of hours. Luckily, we have access to the barn down at the fairgrounds where we have an indoor batting cage. That has really helped us this past spring.” Jim Kruger, athletics director for Saint Peter High School said, “Things have been pretty hectic and this has provided quite an opportunity to become adaptive and flexible schedulers. We have five sports in the spring and so far we have had 22 cancellations and 40 postponements requiring rescheduling involving them. Communication is one of our greatest concerns regarding the changes. It is quite a task to inform all the people involved with each activity. There are coaches, players, opponents, officials, bus company personnel, media people, and workers to alert. There is then the task of arranging practices for each activity once their event has been called for that day. Another concern that we have centers on when rescheduled games will be played. One has to keep in mind not to loadup too many games in a week. We have to be aware of
the academic needs of the athletes as we near the end of the school year. Too many events in a week could lead to lower grades for an athlete, something we do not want to happen. Careful scrutiny takes place in the attempt to place games in the best position possible so the athletes can still perform well in the classroom. We are very fortunate at Saint Peter High School to have such a great staff to work with as well as all the people who provide service for us, including our media people, workers, officials, and Saints Bus Service. There are always some cancellations and postponements during the spring season, but this spring has been extra challenging due to the extreme weather events. One thing for sure, this difficult spring will allow us greatly appreciate the very nice, early ones we will have in the future.” Morgan Schwarz, one of the softball captains for the 2012-2013 school year, was asked the same questions and responded saying, “It is horrible! There is only so much a team can do practicing inside. It is difficult for coaches to see what positions fit each player because pop flies can’t be done indoors. It is giving us a chance to condition more than usual along with spending time team bonding and team building activities. Many games have been either postponed or cancelled completely. Some games that did get postponed once got postponed again due to the weather conditions. The weather has just been keeping us indoors besides a few days where we have been able to slip outside and throw long, hit a ball, and do infield and outfield practice. We definitely take advantage of being outside when we can! We have been practicing in the Armory or the barn mainly. Like I said, if it is nice out, we would slip outside but that has only been a few times. Overall, this weather is horrible. All teams want to do is get outside and play their spring sport. Never in a million years would I have expected the season to start like this! Hopefully the weather will continue to get better as the days go on! Also, we played our first game tonight, on April 25th against Fairmont and came out with a win. It was a bit nerve racking walking out on that field with only practicing on that field once!” All of the students here at Saint Peter High School that are going out for spring sports have had their fair share of poor weather conditions this year and cannot wait to get outside to play their sport!

TECHNOLOGY MAKING A BIG IMPACT “The students at North simply are the best at figuring out smart boards and I-pads. We now can travel the globe and find resources from many parts of the world on any topic in our standards. It makes learning fun, unique, and challenging.” — Ms. Preheim
“In my classroom I use many different forms of technology. Ipads and student response clickers have allowed the students and me to get instant feedback on what the students understand. I have recently started creating math videos and posting them on my Edmodo site for the parents and students to view to help them better understand the concepts.” — Mr. Helget “Technology has been motivational for students and has made my job easier in many ways. Whether I use technology directly with kids or indirectly as I prepare for students and parents, it has made my work more effective.” — Ms. Walker
“Technology has made me a better teacher. It has made me think outside the box when teaching. There are so many resources to use and create now that we have technology. Technology helps allow me to reach all learners.” — Mr. Landsteiner
“With technology, I am able to get instant data on student learning and achievement. It also gives me the ability to continue to work and collaborate with students outside of the classroom on sites like Edmodo.” — Mr. Snell
“Technology has changed the way I teach. It has changed the way students learn. It allows students more freedom to take control over their learning and move at their own pace.” — Ms. Hughes

Kids Blog on Kidblog
Ms. Gareis “Gets Caught Reading” at North
South Elementary, ELC and Saint Peter Public Schools, continues to use technology to engage students in a variety of learning opportunities. This month, Mrs. Pierret’s second grade students began to publish student work on a kid’s blogging site, properly named Kidblog. On this site, students are encouraged to publish a variety of writing genres as well as support the learning of their peers through reading and commenting on works in real time. The blog site is motivating and provides students with an authentic audience who encourage and support a high level of learning. Kidblog is one of many Web 2.0 tools utilized by
Saint Peter students and staff. Using web based tools to create, collaborate, edit and share is proving to be an engaging and sustainable way to increase student achievement. In the future, as our district continues to increase access to mobile technology, our students will be able to connect and learn in so many different, meaningful ways. Web 2.0 tools, such as Kidblog, are easy to use, access and navigate making them a valuable resource for students and teachers alike. Please visit www.kidblog.org for more information about that specific site or http:// web2012.discoveryeducation.com/web20tools.cfm to learn about other engaging Web 2.0 resources.
Interviewed by: Sami Hill, Mady Bryant, Maria Estrada (4th grade) Ms. Gareis, a fifth grade teacher at North Intermediate, enjoys reading because she can pretend she is someone else for a while and likes going on adventures. Her favorite series as a child was the Nancy Drew series because Nancy Drew was a cool ,smart role model. Anthony Horowitz is Ms. Gareis’ favorite author because he writes very suspenseful mysteries. Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt is her favorite book to read with her students because they drink magic water out of a well and never grow old. In her free time, Ms. Gareis likes to read realistic-fiction because they are usually happy books she can relate to. When asked what advice she would give students about reading she said, “Read as much as you can and read as many different types of books as you can.”
Alexa works diligently on her blog during writer’s workshop time.
MARCH MANNERS During the month of March, students and staff at North Intermediate were on the lookout for individuals exhibiting good manners. Paper basketballs were handed out to deserving individuals and each grade, along with the staff, had a basketball court posted in their respective hallways on which to display these basketballs. The winning grade level received classroom basketballs along with individual water bottles. All grade levels were commended for their good manners at an all-school assembly, with 5th grade taking top honors. All basketballs earned were also put into a drawing for a pair of Timberwolves Representatives from each 5th grade class pose with the basketballs each classroom earned. tickets.

PBIS Endorses Going Green!
The PBIS team supported our earth and celebrated Earth Day this month by extending students’ respectful, responsible, and safe behaviors outside of our school walls. This month, students were encouraged to show respect for the world around us. Students demonstrated respect for our earth in many different ways this month and truly showed how responsible they can be reducing, reusing, and recycling. Mrs. Walters, a first grade teacher at South who serves on the PBIS team along with her student teacher came up with our Earth Day, Star Pride theme. Mrs. Walters and her student teacher were looking for a new and fresh Star Pride idea for the month of April. When asked about the idea, Mrs. Walters replied,
“I wanted the PBIS mission to expand outside of the classroom and school walls. My student teacher had done an art project where the kids reused recyclables and made new things. One student made a purse out of cheese. She used a box and braided garbage bags for the handle. It was very creative.”
This got Walters thinking about citizenship and Earth Day and the idea was formed. The students saw a video at the last assembly about “Mr. Can” and classroom teachers were given ‘Taking Care of the Earth’ certificates to give to students. Students were encouraged to write about how they reduced, reused, and recycled during the month of April and bring the certificate back to the office. Classrooms also chose a daily person to wear a “recycling

security monitor badge”. The student wearing the badge was responsible that day to make sure his class was putting recyclable materials into the blue recycling bin. To reinforce the excitement surrounding this project, Mr. Doherty acknowledged student efforts during morning announcements.
Here are some other ways students at South learned about caring for our earth: “We talked about everyone having a “hand” in keeping our earth clean and safe. If we all work together, our world will be a great place to live.” -Mrs. Rands
“Earth Day and our kindergarten farm unit go hand in hand as students in kindergarten learn about how crops grow and how plants help our earth stay healthy.” -Mrs. Hartfiel Mrs. Hartfiel’s students help the earth by growing plants!
“Our kindergarten class painted an Earth and wrote about what they could do to help take care of the earth.” -Mrs. Wenner Edgar from Mrs. Wenner’s room shows off his Earth Day writing!

St. Peter Community & Family Education Takes Part in World Book Night
World Book Night is a celebration designed to spread a love of reading and books across the globe. The goal is to engage people who don’t typically read for pleasure. It is also a way to create connections, to reach out to one another in the simplest of ways – through the sharing of stories. This year’s event was held in the U.S. as well as the U.K. and Ireland on April 23. In communities all over, people spread the joy and love of reading by giving half a million free World Book Night paperbacks. These books are specially produced, not-for-resale copies. Each year, an independent panel of booksellers selects a range of books that meet the guidelines of high quality writing, recently published or an established classic, and paperback availability. The panel picks titles with a balance between gender, ethnic, and geographical location. The authors agree to waive any royalties to help further
offset the costs. St. Peter was one of the lucky communities that participated in this annual event. Community and Family Education Director, Tami Skinner was a ‘book giver’ recipient. Mrs. Skinner applied for 20 copies of Michael Perry’s Population 485: Meeting Your Neighbors One Siren at a Time. “We were so excited that our application was approved. The books were given to individuals in our GED, high school diploma, and ELL (English Language Learners) programs. In addition, we gave copies to Minnesota Valley Action Council to distribute to some of their clients,” commented Mrs. Skinner. The Gustavus Book Mark also played a part in the event by distributing the copies to Mrs. Skinner. World Book Night is a nonprofit organization that exists through the generous donations of book givers, book sellers, librarians, printers, paper suppliers, publishers and trade sponsors. For information about becoming a book giver, visit http://www.us.worldbooknight.org/ books/2013.
Adult Basic Education students, (L-R) Amina Yusuf, Maria Montoya, Khadro Adam, and Ana Cerritos were recipients of the book, Population 485: Meeting Your Neighbors One Siren at a Time, by Michael Perry. In celebration of World Book Night, free copies of the book were distributed by Community & Family Education.
