Snow is coming...will schools close?
Community Wellness Event PEPA encourages people to be healthy through consistently being physically active, especially by walking or running. Join us in this community wellness event on Sat. April 25, 2015. Details at www.bcspringinto action.com
Some Lakeview Middle School students enjoyed the early snow while others made their own!
The first snow fall of the year always brings questions as to how, when, and why the decision to close school is made. Recently, I received a request to make public the rationale that goes into closing school. Below I have outlined the process followed when deciding whether or not to close school. Depending on circumstances, the decision making process may vary, but all reflect a desire to keep our buildings open for learning when it is safe to do so. Snow - Our snow watch begins the evening before, as I monitor the weather forecast for our area. When there is snowfall overnight, our transportation director and I begin driving the roads at 4:30AM. We call our neighboring districts, both Harper Creek and Battle Creek. We compare notes as to the road conditions in their areas. Our snow removal crew comes to work at 1:00AM, so I may call for their input as well. Depending on the amount of snow accumulation, I will contact the City of Battle Creek for information on the progress of their road crews in terms of snow removal. After gathering all of that information and taking into consideration the amount of snow, the wind, and the forecast for the rest of the day, a decision is made. Delays - I know that some districts delay the start of school in order to deal with weather-related concerns. It would be a rare occasion for me to make this decision, as I have received extensive feedback that late starts are extremely disruptive to our families, even more so than a no school day. Ice – We use the same process and timeline as for snow except, depending on conditions, I may also contact law enforcement for their input. Ice is an “easier” decision, as it doesn’t matter how much ice there is, if it covers the roadways and road crews can’t salt in time, we close. Wind Chill – We rely more on the weather forecast when considering closing because of wind chill. If the wind chill forecast is significantly below the -20 threshold, we may make the decision to close school the night before, but most of the time, we will make the decision in the morning. Fog - Our district is only 14 square miles. So, it will be very rare for our district to close due to fog or limited sight reasons. Power Outage – In most cases, if a building is without power, we will close. If a power outage occurs during the school day, we will most likely send students home. The final decision is made with consideration to how quickly the power company believes power will be restored and how the outage will impact our ability to serve lunch and maintain a comfortable building temperature. If it is necessary to send students home, we will notify parents using the District’s emergency notification system. Elementary students will remain at school or on the bus until we can verify that someone is home to care for them. Water Main Break - If a water main break will shut water off to the school for an extended period of time, we will close school and send students home using the same protocol as for power outages. We do stay in communication with the City to help make this decision. No water means no restrooms, diminished ability to keep our buildings clean and safe, and it may also compromise our ability to serve lunch. I’d also like to mention that the events or activities scheduled for a given day do not factor into whether or not we close school. Whether there is a play, exams, ball games, etc.; it doesn’t make a difference. It also doesn’t make a difference if closing for another day means that we’ll makeup days in June. In fact, if this winter is anything like last winter, it is very likely that we will need to make-up days in June. I’ve already suggested to staff that they not make vacation plans for the week of June 8th. I hope this helps to answer many of your questions and illustrates how seriously we take the decision of whether or not to close school. I know it is stressful regardless of the decision. If we have school, there is additional concern about safety. If we don’t have school, there is the added burden of back-up plans for child care. We understand that individual circumstances vary, and we respect a family’s decision to do what is in the best interest of their children and family when the weather is poor. Thanks for your understanding and support.
Sincerely,
Superintendent of Schools
School Closing Information Lakeview parents are notified by the emergency notification phone system when school is closed unexpectedly. School closing information is also posted on the District website (www.lakeviewspartans.org) and on Facebook (www.facebook.com/lakeviewspartans) and reported to television stations (Channel 3, Fox 17, Wood TV 8) and radio stations (WBCK and Win 98.5).
The Lakeview Elementary Schools received two Mini Grants through the Calhoun ISD to purchase elementary-level Spanish books for all the elementaries serviced by Lakeview. The grant is funded by the Guido A. and Elizabeth H. Binda Foundation, as well as the Barry, Branch, and Calhoun ISDs. This grant will provide access to reading in another language to all students in grades 1st through 4th. The stories are kidfriendly, with familiar situations and characters to whom students can relate. The goal is to improve their literacy skill in both Spanish and English.
Smart Snacks Guidelines and Fundraising As of this summer (July, 2014) by Federal mandate, schools who participate in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) are required to meet the Smart Snacks in School guidelines. The guidelines cover all foods sold (not given away) on the school campus during the school day (midnight until 30 minutes after the end of the school day). The guidelines affect all foods sold outside of School Nutrition Programs or the Child Care Food Program. What this means for Lakeview Schools: a) Foods sold in schools during the school day outside of the cafeteria and child care must meet the Smart Snacks guidelines.
You can still fundraise:
- Food fundraisers that meet the guidelines (sold during the school day) need to meet the standards. - Non-food fundraisers (there's lots of cool ideas out there) - Food sold more than 30 minutes after the school day is over, such as concessions, do not need to meet the guidelines - Food sold outside of school campus (all day) do not apply - Foods not meant for immediate consumption (e.g., frozen pizza kits, cookie dough), do not apply Please feel free to check with Laura Reynolds with any questions.

Road to Change By Paige Tobin, Editor-in-Chief, The Crystal The following article first appeared in the LHS Crystal in October 2014 and has been reprinted with permission. During the 2013-2014 school year, the main focus for the school was improving the culture. Through a Vision survey taken by students and staff last year, specific problem areas were identified and initiatives sprang from these needs. Some of these initiatives culminated into Link Crew, the Student/Staff get together, Impact 2014 and the revival of Pep Club. Though each attack the issue of school culture in different ways, their common goal is to improve relationships in the school in order to create an atmosphere where everyone feels a sense of belonging. “The thread that connects all of this is that they are all about developing better relationships to each other and the school,” Principal Jeff Bohl said. “Pep Club has done great work in terms of invigorating school spirit and Link Crew fills a gap with the way we bring freshmen into our culture and provides a great growth opportunity for leaders.” I spent a good deal of time last year and throughout the summer working with staff members, administrators, community members and other students on a majority of these projects- and it was DIFFICULT. It was difficult to put myself out there and share my thoughts. It was difficult to think outside of myself and make sure that I represented the rest of the student body. And though I felt passionately about what I was doing, I realized that even though I was being affected, and I knew what was happening, that didn’t mean that EVERYONE else did. There are so many students in the school and the messages we were intent on conveying weren’t reaching the people they were supposed to affect. And getting that message out is the most important part of any movement. It is up to us how we use this information, if we choose to ignore it or choose to use it. The hope is that we will not continue to perpetuate the same culture of apathy and that we will empower others to reach their full potential. To make an actual change, it’s up to us, the students. A few students can’t want it; it has to come from ALL of us.
Impact 2014
By the end of the 2013-2014 school year, Superintendent Dave Peterson-among other community members- identified issues of equity being a barrier to forming relationships in the school. To combat these issues, a group called Pace for Change was selected to help shift the climate of Lakeview. What accumulated from this was a retreat that took place July 10 and 11. At this retreat, students, staff, administrators, parents and community members discussed personal anecdotes pertaining to present day issues and devoted time to planning out ways to solve these issues within the Lakeview School District. “It was really cool to be in a group where everyone wanted the same things. We all wanted to make our school a better place,” senior Laina Upston said. Though discussion was an important aspect of the Impact retreat, action was the next step. Attendees at the Impact retreat were put into groups and brainstormed ways to make Lakeview a more welcoming place for all kinds of people. One of the activities planned was to show the entire staff of Lakeview School District, every teacher and administrator from every elementary and up, what exactly happened at the retreat. To get the message out, they took over the planning of the Back to School breakfast and delivered powerful speeches to the employees of Lakeview. “It was really intimidating. I don’t think any of the teachers really expected us to do that, but I think afterwards everyone was on the same page,” senior Erinn Smith said.

ONE BIG, HAPPY FAMILY - Students and staff sit together in the gym to get ready for an activity to promote better relationships in the school. At the Student/Staff Get Together, the main focus was on the student-teacher relationships. “The whole point of the Student/Staff Get Together is to put on steroids the feeling of connection between the students and staff,” Principal Jeff Bohl said. Photo by Rachel Silverman, The Crystal this, there will be another retreat that will begin accepting registration forms by the end of October.
Student/Staff Get-together During opening week, Aug. 25 through Aug. 29, an event specifically targeting student and teacher relationships occurred. The Student/Staff Get Together was comprised of about 65 students and the entire high school teaching staff. During the Get Together, students and staff did team building exercises, and split off into “families” to dissect scenarios about real issues in the school, such as bullying behaviors. “I really liked how we heard a lot of different voices on each scenario,” junior Rachel Dugan said. The Student/Staff Get Together was created as a way to make stronger connections between staff and students, and ultimately make Lakeview a better place. Though a profound and impactful experience, the message was one that could not reach every student in the school. “I felt like the Student/Staff Get Together was cool, but the problem is that everyone wasn’t there, so those that did go get drowned out by everyone else and we end up doing the same old thing,” senior Erinn Smith said. Though not all of the 1,300+ students in Lakeview High School were able to take part in it, the students and teachers who did experience it were able to apply this experience to their lives and were able to maintain the relationships they made at the Get Together during this school year. “I see Ms. Ouellette differently now. On the first day of school she was talking about ways she could help her students and be available, so it was cool to see her use some of the training points we learned,” Smith said.
Pep Club During the 2013-2014 school year, Pep Club was revived after a year-long hiatus with the installment of a spirit rock and exciting pep assemblies. This year, students have taken the initiative to commit themselves to continue the increase of school spirit at Lakeview. “We are working to build positive school spirit for all groups,” Pep Club advisor Darcy Hassing said. “We aren’t just focusing on sports, but we are trying to support all groups, clubs, teams and the arts.” Pep Club has spent time over the summer and every Friday morning planning and orchestrating football theme days, pep assemblies, a massive ALS challenge, among other activities to promote a better relationship between the students and the school. “I feel like we’re making a real difference. A lot more students are coming to games and there’s a lot more grade interaction in the student section,” junior Molli Gault said.

Link Crew
Modeled after the Web Leader program at the middle school and like programs all over the nation, Link Crew’s purpose is to connect the freshman students with each other and the rest of the high school, and to promote a general feeling of belonging in Lakeview. “Link Crew is a part of an initiative to improve relationships and have better connections within the school,” counselor Lukas Pederson said. Though Link Crew was specifically planned to revolve around freshman students, the counselors and other organizers are looking to expand Link Crew to all new students- not just restricting it to one grade. “This year we were only able to serve incoming ninth graders, but we’re looking to expanding it to all incoming students. So, all new students or school of choice students coming in their tenth, eleventh and twelfth year will be a part of this,” counselor Heather Albee said. “We’re also looking to expand the number of leaders and expand their communication with the incoming freshmen.” To expand communication, the counselors have many activities in store for Link Leaders and freshman to keep up a continuous effort to make freshmen feel at home in the high school. “Later in the year we’ll be having Link Leaders invite freshmen to events, do check-in’s and have more events geared towards Link Leaders and freshmen,” Pederson said.

Riverside students in Jessica Day's kindergarten class wrote letters to area soldiers to thank them for their service. On Veteran's Day, they received a special visit from Master Sergeant Dean Hoskins. Students were honored - and very excited - to read their letters to Master Sergeant Hoskins. "Thank you for fighting for us." "Thank you for fighting the bad guys." "Thank you for your service." "You are awesome." "I want to be just like you when I grow up. You are so cool. Thank you!"

LSEF Grant Monies Awarded to Lakeview Educators Each fall and spring, the Lakeview Schools Education Foundation awards grants to Lakeview educators who present plans for innovative study and learning for both themselves and their students. 2013 fall grants were awarded to the following Lakeview educators: The Rose Ferguson Grant was given to Amy Wichterman, a K-4 counselor, to attend a Theraplay Group Therapy training program to gain information for parents and students who have experienced trauma and other life experiences that will affect their education. The Karl Randels grant for the Arts was awarded to Lakeview Middle School music teachers Jeff Cachero, Sheri Schmidt and Tim Haupt to partially fund expenses to attend the Michigan Music Conference where Jeff was a presenter. The Mary Ellen Vanderveer Grant was received by Sara Johnson of the LHS World Language department to purchase electronic training materials that would allow world language teachers to better assess students’ speaking proficiency levels of foreign languages. Three Riverside teachers, Kathryn Sellers, Patricia Warren, Lindsey Rencoos, and Kasey Ward were awarded the remainder of the Vanderveer grant to facilitate a parent makeit-take-it night to help parents be better prepared to help their children with math problems. The Minges Brook early elementary teachers and ELL support staff were awarded the Thomas Jefferson Fund Grant to purchase independent reading books for emergent readers to supplement other books in the resource library. Spring grants were awarded to the following Lakeview educators: John Burdette was awarded the Mary Ellen Vanderveer grant to help defray expenses for the LHS Robotics team to design and compete in a robotics competition encompassing area, state and national contests. The Dr. Robert E. Spencer Education Grant was given to Shannon Shepard and Monica Crider, teachers at Minges Brook Elementary School, to help with registration fees and materials for a seminar based on Glasser’s Choice Theory in the classroom. Information gained will be shared with staff to help with behavior choices in the classrooms.

Neighborhood Planning Councils (NPCs) are resident-based groups that serve an important and specific purpose in our community. The purpose of Neighborhood Planning Councils is to provide a forum to inform and discuss with neighborhood residents and representatives of the City staff and City Commissioners, issues and concerns of that neighborhood. Generally, the City informs the NPC of facts and potential results of pending decisions, opportunities or other changes. The NPC discusses and decides what, if any, recommendations it would like to make or strategies they would like to develop.

God’s Kitchen hosts 847 guests for annual Thanksgiving feast Doug Allen Assistant Editor With turkeys specially
smoked and prepared by the cooks at Arcadia Brewing Company, Rev. William Stein
and his volunteer staff at God's Kitchen Battle Creek served up a huge Thanksgiving feast for hundreds at First Congregational Church on Wednesday, Nov. 6. “I was stunned by the numbers,” said Rev. Stein. “We served 847 meals with 455 of those being take out and delivered meals for people that are home bound. I'm overwhelmed by the generosity and warmth of people in this city. The meal was traditional Thanksgiving fare, and I heard nothing but praise for the food and those who served it.” Calhoun County Sheriff Matt Saxton noted that community service runs in their family as he posed with his 14-year-old son Landon at the God's Kitchen PreThanksgiving dinner. Landon, along with fellow members of the Battle Creek Bantam Hockey Team, served hundreds of diners during the event, while his father delivered 28 meals in the Verona and Washington Heights neighborhoods.

The line to get into the dining area was huge and stretched throughout the church. Quiet conversation was mixed with the sounds of friends greeting one another and Christmas music played in the background. John Wood brought his karaoke machine and sang along to several Christmas CD's. James Williamson greeted everyone at the door and said 215 people (43 of whom were children) had entered the church within the first 25 minutes. “It's pretty amazing,” he said. “Lots of hungry folks.” Along with Williamson, Chris Brenner regularly volunteers her time at God's Kitchen
Battle Creek. In fact, she and her husband Scott were named recently as the God's Kitchen Battle Creek Volunteers of the Year. “This is our third year volunteering for God's Kitchen,” said Brenner. “Every Thursday night we come here and it's through our 4-H group, the Wattles Park Trailblazers. That's what got us started and we've just continued since then.” Chris' family of volunteers includes her husband Scott and kids Allison, Colin and Emily. “You know, it's just the people that we encounter and see and visit with,” she said. “You see people that are regulars that you get to know, and you form a

camaraderie with them. You ask how they're doing, and knowing that you're helping them by feeding them a meal is very powerful. “They're so gracious and happy to have been served a hot meal,” she added. “Pastor Stein is a fabulous cook and he serves fabulous food every night. It's not like it's peanut butter and jelly, it's a fulfilling meal. It's important work that he's doing and we really enjoy being a part of it.”

Battle Creek SHOPPER NEWS, Delivered Free to Nearly 50,000 Area Homes – December 4, 2014 – Page 50
Christmas party benefits local second graders The Rotary Club of Battle Creek held its 84th annual Christmas party at Full Blast in downtown Battle Creek Monday, Dec. 1, at 11:30 am. The party is a joint community service project of the Rotary Club of Battle Creek and the Cereal City Sunrise Rotary Club. The Sunrise Club has cohosted this event since it was founded in 1992. The party included a visit from Santa, singing holiday songs, lunch and entertainment
from Ronald McDonald. Each attending student has an opportunity to visit with Santa and receive a gift bag. The bags are purchased items using Rotary funds, supplemented with donations from area businesses and organizations including St. Joe Elementary, Meyer's Toy World, McDonald's, and Pizza Hut. This event would not be possible without the generous donations from these businesses. Approximately 140 students and staff from Doris Klaussen
Development Center, Fremont and LaMora Park attended this year's party. Many Rotarians consider the annual Christmas party as the best club function of the year. Rotary District 6360 Foundation contributed a grant to Rotary Club of Battle Creek to provide similar gift bags to 75 second graders at Urbandale Elementary. Additionally, hats, gloves, books and puzzles will be delivered to Verona Elementary next week.
The children's Christmas party is one of many service opportunities available to Rotarians from community service projects to international projects promoting world health, scholarship and service. Their motto, “Service Above Self” is demonstrated daily in the actions of Rotarians in Battle Creek and worldwide. For more information on the 84th annual Rotary children's Christmas party contact Cheryl Beard at (269) 441-1664.

2014 Pennfield Township Winter Newsletter TOWNSHIP LOCAL ROADS: With the passage of the road repair millage proposal, an estimated $5.0 million will be spent on needed road repairs beginning in the summer of 2015. Between now and then, Pennfield Township will be securing necessary legal agreements with the Calhoun County Road Department that will establish a basic level of performance as well as remedies if the work is not up to standards. We are also planning another public meeting in either late April or early May to discuss what work will be done in 2015 and beyond. A copy of the proposed five (5) year plan is available at the Township Office and on our website at www.pennfieldtwp.com. RENTAL AND VACANT STRUCTURE ORDINANCES: The Township Board has completed a review of ordinance language for both rental properties and vacant structures (residential and commercial) within Pennfield Township. It is the intent of the Township Board to introduce both ordinances at our February 2015 board meeting with final consideration coming at the March 2015 board meeting. If adopted, both ordinances would become effective April 1, 2015. A copy of both ordinances is available at the Township Office and on our website at www.pennfieldtwp.com. We welcome public input on both proposed ordinances. TRUCK ROUTE ORDINANCE: With the passage of the road repair millage, the Township Board is working on a proposed truck route ordinance which would prohibit heavy truck traffic on all local roads and certain primary roads. The purpose of the ordinance is to identify a “safe truck route” that will minimize any potential damage to our repaired local roads and certain primary roads. Certain trucks, as defined by the State of Michigan, would be exempt. Those include milk trucks, propane delivery trucks and farm equipment (tractors, trucks and trailers). They do not include garbage trucks traveling to and from the Convis Township Landfill or gravel trucks beyond a certain area. More information on the proposed truck route ordinance will be available sometime after the first of the year. PENNFIELD TOWNSHIP HICKS CEMETERY: Beginning in the spring of 2015, Pennfield Township Hicks Cemetery will be accepting donations for the additional planting of trees on the east side of the cemetery. In return, a contribution marker will be placed at the base of the tree (there would be a variety of trees to choose from) in memory of a loved one or ones who may be buried at the cemetery. For more information, please contact Pennfield Township Clerk Kathy Case at 968-8549. Pennfield Township would also like to thank ITC for its generous donation to the cemetery which allowed us to landscape around the cemetery sign and to replace our current waste containers with brand new containers (new containers will be placed within the cemetery in the spring of 2015). Hicks Cemetery has been part of our community since 1860. CALHOUN COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT: In October of this year, the Township Board renewed its agreement with the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Department for dedicated police services in Pennfield Township for another five (5) year period. PENNFIELD TOWNSHIP FIRE DEPARTMENT: On October 7th, Pennfield Township rededicated Fire Station #2 in honor of Paid on Call (POC) Firefighters Robert Mehaffey and Richard Smith. Prior to his passing this year, POC Assistant Fire Chief Mehaffey had over 36 years of dedicated service to the residents of Pennfield Township. POC Captain Richard Smith, still active within the Fire Department, currently has over 34 years of dedicated service to the residents of Pennfield Township. STREETLIGHTS: If your streetlight is not working, please report it to the Township Office at 968-8549 as soon as possible. We will file a report with Consumers Energy. Right now, it is taking Consumers Energy approximately (28) days to repair non-working streetlights. The Township is actively seeking a quicker repair time from Consumers. TOWNSHIP PLANNING COMMISSION: Beginning in 2015, the Township Planning Commission will begin work on our first ever five (5) year Recreational Plan. Public input will be critical to this process. Stay tuned for meeting dates and times. TOWNSHIP BOARD MEETINGS: Beginning with the January 13, 2015 board meeting, the Township Board meetings will begin at 6:00pm at the Pennfield Middle School cafeteria.
