How To Get Kids Excited About School
In a perfect world, all children would be enthusiastic about starting a new school year. But in the real world, some children will be reluctant, nervous, or annoyed about exchanging their summer fun for the classroom. How do you get kids motivated about going back to school?
While you can’t dole out pep talks during the school day, you can take steps at home to get kids excited about school:
• Set an Example Off to work? If you act grumpy about the day ahead of you, your kids will take your cue. Over breakfast, be positive and upbeat. If your kids have apprehensions about school, their friends or after school activities, talk to them in a constructive way about what’s bothering them.
At dinner, remember to check in with them again. Tell them about what you did that day and ask them about what they learned.
• Make Schoolwork Fun
Cool school supplies can inspire your kids to stay organized and motivated. Think colorful and cheerful
designs and personalized back to school supplies, which can give kids a sense of ownership and pride over their school work.
• Go the Extra Mile
Encourage your kids to do more than just go to school and come home. It’s in their art classes, on the basketball court and playing in the concert band where they will discover their talents and interests they didn’t know they have.
Extracurricular and after school activities provide a great social outlet for kids and are where some of the best memories of school days are made. If the school doesn’t have programs that interest your child, investigate other classes, teams and activities offered locally.
• Customize Lunch
Add a little flair to lunch room drudgery. Remember to always pack a favorite snack or dessert to give your kids something to look forward to midday.
From pirates and princesses to dinosaurs and trains, ditch the paper bag in favor of a lunch box featuring your children’s interests.
From brighter moods to better grades, getting kids excited about the school year will have positive consequences.

How Parents Can Pitch In At Their Children’s Schools
Giving back to one’s community can take many forms. Some may give back by supporting legislature to make communities more inclusive, while others may volunteer with their local fire departments. Parents of school-aged youngsters can typically find many opportunities to give back through their children’s schools.
Parents who volunteer with their children’s schools often get a unique glimpse into their children’s life at school. Such parents may see how their children interact with educators and
classmates and gain greater insight into the school community where kids spend so much of their time. Volunteering at school also can benefit kids, who may recognize the importance of education more readily if mom and/or dad are spending their free time on campus. That recognition can leave to improved performance in the classroom.
Parent-teacher associations can be great resources for parents who want to volunteer with their children’s schools. Each year, students graduate and move on to new schools or colleges, and that means schools are in fresh need of parent volunteers each school year. Though each school has its own unique needs, the following are some roles parent volunteers
may be able to play at their children’s schools.
• Tutor
• Mentor • IT support: Parents with significant experience in tech or information technology can offer to lend a hand or provide advice or insight in support of a school’s IT staff
• Organizer: Schools host many functions in a typical school year, and officials typically ask parents to pitch in so such events can be successful. For example, parents can help organize school fundraisers, dances and holiday bazaars.
• Chaperone on field trips
• Assistant coach: Many schools pay stipends to the head coaches of their athletic teams, but parents can serve as unpaid assistants or support staff during the
season. For example, parents can volunteer to work as gameday staff, taking tickets at the gate or directing ticket holders where to park.
• Administrative support: Parents also can pitch to help with behind-the-scenes administrative duties like letter-writing, grant pro-
• Club official: Extra curricular clubs also can benefit from parents willing to work as volunteers. Parents can help students who want to start new clubs or serve as moderators or helpers in existing clubs.
• Speaker: High schools may host periodic career days throughout the school year to help students on the cusp of applying to college uncover potential career paths. Parents with sig nificant professional experi ence in a given field can offer to speak to students on career days, sharing infor mation about their careers and industries and answering any questions students may have.
The Many Benefits Of Arts Education
Why does art matter? This is a question that has given philosophers and artists food for thought for centuries. It’s also been a leading question in many school districts when budget cuts have forced school administrators
to put various curricula on the chopping block. Very often arts programs are the first to be cut. From their earliest years, many children communicate and learn through artistic expression. Songs help them learn words and repetition to develop speech and reading skills. Drawing, painting and crafting helps to solidify motor skills. Though 88 percent of Americans consider the arts part of a
well-rounded education, an American for the Arts public opinion survey found that the percentage of students receiving arts education has shrunk dramatically over the last few decades.
Houston’s Arts Access Initiative, in conjunction with Houston Education Research Consortiums,
Students who participated in arts education experienced a 3.6 percent reduction in disciplinary infractions, an improvement of 13 percent of a standard deviation in standardized writing scores, and an increase of 8 percent of a standard deviation in students’ compassion for others. Compassion trans-
The Nation’s Report Card, the largest ongoing assessment of what students in the United States know and can do, shows that American students continue to score lower than many of their peers in Europe and Asia.
Seeking to improve performance in reading and math may be as simple as including arts education.
Researchers from the Johns Hopkins University School of Education say that instruction becomes more effective when educators integrate creative activities.
Encouraging creativity and imagination across all disciplines can help shine light on new concepts and help students discover connections and innovative ideas.
To bolster support of arts in the classroom, parents and educators can point out the following benefits of arts education.
• Improves academic performance: A report by Americans for the Arts indicates young people who regularly participate in the arts are four times more likely to be recognized for academic achievement than non-participants.
• Develops motor skills: Arts helps foster motor skills, which are essential for writing letters and words, playing musical instruments, using paintbrushes, and much more.
• Helps one appreciate numeracy: Art involves patterns and problem solving. Learning these skills translates into many different disciplines, including mathematics.
• Increases creativity: The arts let students express themselves in different ways and offer outlets for all types of skills.
• May accelerate brain development: Bright Horizons, a child care provider, reports learning to play an instrument has been found to improve mathematical learning, boost memory and lead to improved academic scores.
Did You Know?
Extracurricular activities have long been touted as a great way for prospective college students to bolster their college applications. Students may be surprised to learn just what participation in such activities may suggest to college admissions officers.
According to The Princeton Review®, scattered involvement in an extracurricular activity, regardless of what that activity is, may give college admissions officers a poor impression of applicants, suggesting a student lacks the commitment and passion of applicants who were more deeply involved in their extracurricular activities.
While students should not continue to participate in an activity they don’t enjoy, they may benefit from spending more time researching certain activities to ensure they choose one they’re willing to commit to long-term. Such a commitment suggests to admissions officers that a student is willing to go through the ups and downs that typically come with engaging oneself in an activity. An ability to handle those ups and downs without giving up suggests students will be able to handle the ups and downs of college life as well.
The Princeton Review® also notes that students who choose to work instead of participating in an extracurricular activity should not downplay such decisions on their applications, particularly if they were helping to support their families. The decision to help support a family demonstrates character and can indicate maturity to college admissions officers. Each of those traits can bolster an applicant’s candidacy.

Dutch Words From Leroy Miller (formerly of Holmes County) Chesapeake, VA
This week we want to print some words kindly sent to us
by Leroy Miller of Chesapeake, VA after a long telephone conversation several months ago. Leroy’s letter was dated March 30, 1987.
If I recall correctly, Leroy Miller is native to Holmes County, Ohio, so we are most likely dealing here with Holmes County terms.
es Schtelli may be the diminutive of Schtall. It might also be the diminutive of Gschtell meaning “a large or imposing structure.” Cf. “Sie hen en gross Gschtell vun en Haus.” (They have quite a large house.)
die Uffschtelling - here we need some illustrations. Lambert’s dictionary gives the verb, “uffschtelle,” with the meaning “to put up, to erect,” but he does not list the noun “Uffschtelling.” We assume this refers to a barnraising. der Debbich was used by L. Miller’s paternal grandmother referring to a “floor covering.”
es Hundsschtelli = dog pen.
es Bieblischtelli = a small brooder house for chicks. schtroie (l), pp. gschtroit = to bed with straw. “Schtroi die Kieh!” (Bed the cows!) “Er hot die Kieh gschtroit.” (He bedded the cows.)
schtroie (2) = to scatter. “Die Kinner hen Schpielsach deich (darich) es ganz Haus gschtroit.” (The children have scattered their toys all over the house.)
raubaschdich = mischievous. “Die raubaschdiche Buwe hen mei Schuhbendele vergnippt.” (The mischievous boys have tied my shoestrings in knots.)
unbasslich = rough, undisciplined, usually in reference to children. “Die unbassliche Buwe hen unwer Wegli verbroche.” (The rough boys have broken our wagon.) verdeitsche, pp. verdeitscht = to set someone straight with an emphatic lecture. “Verdeitsch ihm mol gut weeich sei huddliche Schtubb.” (Give him a lecture about his disorderly room.) “Die Memm hot uns blendi verdeitscht fer deich der Gaarde schpringe.” (Mom scolded us for running through the garden.) “Ich zehl ihm mol ebbes verdeitsche.” (I’m going to read the riot act to him.)
Yohles = howling, moaning, complaining. “Des Kind hot some Yohles geduh, wo der Dokder die Nodel nei hot.”
(This child let out a howl when the physician stuck in his needle.)
yohle, pp. gyohlt = to howl. “Ich hab gyohlt, wo er uff mei Zehe gedredde is.” (I howled when he stepped on my toes.)
veryohlt = prone to howling. “Selli veryohlde Hund hen mich wacker ghalde letscht Nacht.” (Those howling dogs kept me awake last night.)
griwwlich = in a nervous, agitated state. “Ich hab waarde misse bis ich schier griwwelich waar.” (I had to wait so long I was fit to be tied.)
Eselschtreech = prank or pranks. “Es waar yuscht en Eselschtreech.” (They were just pranks.) “Seller Kall is voll Eselschtreech.” (That fellow is full of pranks.)
iewel ab = to be undecided; to be in sad shape. If the weather threatened rain, Mom would say, “Ich bin yuscht so iewel ab weeich Wesch naus henke heit.” (I’m really in a bad way today. I’d like to hang out my wash, but the weather is against me.)
(sich) verkeffere, pp. verkeffert = This verb was always used in the past tense by my parents. It referred usually to a woman who was gushy sweet about something. “Die alt Fraa hot sich schier verkeffert weeich dem Hundli.” (The old woman gushed about the puppy.)
es Lodder = a person lacking integrity. “En alts Lodder.” loddere, pp. gloddert = to fail to tell the truth. “Sie hot mir graad ins Gsicht gloddert.” (She told me an untruth right in my face.) ***
A million thanks to Leroy Miller for his timely letter. We need many, many more letters of this sort providing additional words and sentences for our revision of Lambert’s Dutch Dictionary.

Many Infallible Proofs
by Dr. Arthur Birkby
Continued from last week’s issue.
Going on to another section of the Bible: The book of Joshua details how Israelite soldiers marched around the city of Jericho seven times in a day. Sir Charles Marston’s book, New Biblical Evidence, reports that the excavations of old Jericho show walls to be only 650 yards—which is a third of a mile—in circumference, enclosing an area of only seven acres. Thus a seven-lap march in one day is entirely feasible. Excavations of other ancient cities such as Troy, and even Jerusalem, show that the walled sections were places of refuge to which people could flee in time of trouble, and did not enclose the entire city where people regularly resided.
The Bible quotes Joshua as cursing anyone who would rebuild Jericho (Josh. 6:20), declaring that any such person would suffer the loss of his oldest as well as his youngest son. When the book of I Kings was written centuries later, it recounts how the evil King Ahab endeavored to rebuild the city (I Kings 16:34). Listen to this detailed description of the rebuilding: “The builder was from Bethel, and was named Hiel. As the foundation of the city was laid, Hiel’s first-born son, Abiram, died; and as the gates were set up in the walls, his youngest son, Segub, died.” It seems unreasonable to assume that a duplicitous plot between Bible writers who did not know each other, and who lived centuries apart, could have manufactured such a tale whose pieces fit together so perfectly. Anyone, or any group of conspirators attempting to plan a story like this by deceit would certainly be doomed to failure. But because the Scriptures are all divine in their authorship, one needs never to worry that close
scrutiny will reveal anything but absolute truth.
Probably the most boring part of the entire Bible is, at the same time, a most revealing evidence of its being God’s truth. I am referring to the book of I Chronicles. I have read it through, and if you do not want to read it through, at least leaf through it to see the genealogies. No one— absolutely no one—would contrive such a book as a self-serving act with the pretext of promoting some religious dogma. One thing such a book does show is God’s personal concern for everybody—each individual who was ever born.
Today’s thinkers, philosophers, and so-called intellectuals place great importance on secular intellects of the past such as those of ancient Greece. Concerning the earth, those presumed masterminds came up with the most bizarre, hare-brained ideas as to be laughable by any civilized intelligent standard; and still the Greek scholars are revered today by those who refuse to recognize the wisdom of God and His
Holy Book. If the Bible were to assert that the earth was carried on the shoulders of the god Atlas, who stood on the backs of giant tortoises, which stood on the backs of elephants, this would be more than sufficient reason to discredit the Holy Scriptures as being of God. What does the Bible say about the earth? What keeps it up? Job 26:7 states that God spreads the skies over empty space and suspends the earth on nothing. The Bible is not a book of science; yet in not even one point does it contradict any principle of modern science that has been established as fact rather than mere theory.
There are in this country, and in several European countries, chapters of the Flat Earth Society, whose members are convinced that the earth is not round. Up until the 15th century, centuries after Isaiah lived, no one knew, nor would many people believe, that the earth was not flat. Without benefit of a telescope or a knowledge of the physics of astronomy, Isaiah wrote in chapter 40, verse 22, that the Lord sits enthroned above the circle
of the earth. Noted Bible teacher, J. Vernon McGee has stated that the word, “circle,” is synonymous with “globe,” a round geometric figure.
Moses was not an oceanographer, but in Genesis 7:11 he wrote that fountains, or springs, of the great deep burst forth, at the same time the rains fell from heaven, flooding the earth. Only relatively recently have our scientists discovered that there are, indeed, great water fountains erupting from the ocean floor.
There was a time when Babylon was where mighty kings exalted themselves above the God of heaven; and that Babylon might ultimately become only a memory would have been unthinkable. However, Isaiah prophesies in chapter 13, verses 20-22 that Babylon, the jewel of kingdoms, the glory of their pride, will be overthrown like Sodom and Gomorrah; she will never be inhabited throughout all generations; no Arab will pitch his tent there; no shepherd will rest his flocks there; jackals,
owls, wild goats, and hyenas—only desert creatures—will lie there.
In contrast, the city of Tyre according to Isaiah 23:1418, was to be devastated and desolate for 70 years, and then restored. What actually happened was that Tyre was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar and was left in ruins for 70 years, but rebuilt by Alexander the Great. The 18th verse goes on to say that Tyre would return to a life of commerce, and the profits would not be hoarded, but instead be consecrated to God. Eventually, true religion did return to Tyre. Jesus visited Tyre as did Paul, as we can read in Matthew 15:21 and Acts 21:3-6. The historian Eusebius wrote that when the church was founded in Tyre, much of the city’s wealth was dedicated to God; and Jerome, another noted historian of the 4th century A.D., wrote that the wealth of Tyre’s churches was not stored away, but given to those of the church who were in need.

New Pastor Welcomed In Ephrata
Pastor Unterberger began his new pastorate at First Church Ephrata on Sunday, July 7, which was followed by a welcoming breakfast and dessert reception on Sunday, July 14.
It’s been a strange and wonderful ride for Pastor Walt so far. For one thing, he received Christ 16 years after his bar mitzvah. It came as a huge surprise to him and to all who knew him. He spent much of his adult life working as a professional musician in all sorts of venuesbars, nightclubs, casino showrooms, Broadway theater production, Carnegie Hall, recordings, TV shows, etc. Along with playing music, he operated a oneperson sales and marketing consultancy. But he has always loved pastoring far more than any of these other occupations. He received his MDiv at Asbury Theological Seminary.
Pastor Walt is married to a wonderful woman, Karen, who has demonstrated tremendous gifting in the unique ministry of being a pastor’s spouse. They have great joy in doing ministry together.
He is convinced to his core that we serve a God who can and does do miracles even today. He’s seen too many miracles to ever be
convinced otherwise.

Holy Trinity Trini-Mini Summer Camp
The week before school starts is hard to fill with something new and exciting for kids. Consider the free, Monday through Friday Trini-Mini Summer Camp, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon, Monday, August 19 to Friday, August 23. It’s for children entering grades one through six.
Held at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, 167 East Main Street, please use the entrance at the back of the building. Parents/ guardians should come into the church with their children. There will be a registration form to fill out that contains emergency contact information plus health information, such as any allergies.
Come for crafts, games,
snacks and special events. If you have plans that conflict with one or two of the days, come when you’re able. You’ll be welcomed and glad you came.
On one of the days, a Lancaster Police K-9 unit will present a special program. Children will see demonstrations of what these beloved, four-legged officers do when on duty.
Most mornings end with water games outside. All indoor facilities are airconditioned. For safety reasons, please have children wear sneakers. Flip-flops and crocs can be slippery when wet during water games with water balloons. Children can more easily fall and injuries could result. You may pre-register
children and ask any questions you have by calling the church at 717733-4134. Pre-registration is not required. It’s useful for us to know how many children for which we need to plan.
This popular, summer program is over 15 years old and most volunteers are retired teachers. Don’t miss these five, free, fun mornings!
