Preschool students receive lesson on catching a leprechaun

By JESSICA HARKER jharker@vindy.com

Poland preschool students received a special lesson on how to catch a leprechaun on March 8.

Students in Joye Bucci’s preschool classroom at Poland Union Elementary School were visited by School Resource Officer Matthew Martinez to help

celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. “He explained to the students to look for clues,” Bucci said. “Leprechauns like shiny green things and love rainbows.”

Martinez visited with students, reading to them and giving advice about the upcoming holiday.

He explained to students the best ways to catch a lepre-

chaun and what they could do if they were to catch one.

“The students w it h t heir trap in hand will definitely use those tips to catch the little green man,” Bucci said.

She explained that this was the kick off of the school’s St. Patrick’s day celebration.

“Thank you, officer Matthew and all of our officers, for keeping us safe,” Bucci said.

Join the Poland library at 10:30 a.m. every Thursday in March for developmentally appropriate books, songs, rhymes, finger plays and other activities that will help your child (ages 2-3) become a successful reader.

Philibin’s project was titled “Turning Milk Into Plastic.”

“My project was fun to turn milk into plastic and I actually had fun learning some cool stuff about science. It was pretty awesome having real science people judging our projects. I actually was able to answer all their scientific questions,” Philibin said.

Dambrogio’s project was titled “Rusting Out.” It was about what causes corrosion and if the paint can stop it and explained why they paint metal on bridges. ”The science fair was a great learning opportunity. I was able to follow the steps of the

scientific method to complete a real life experiment. It was a lot of fun,” Dambrogio said.

The science fair has been offered every year at Holy Family for more than 20 years. The judges for this year’s science fair came from Oh, Wow ! , Youngstown State University, Cafaro Corp, and other area businesses.

Middle school science teacher Mary Rossi is proud of all her students for a job well done.

“Congratulations to the students for a successful hands-on science fair. Students followed the scientific method and created amazing projects. One judge even commented, ‘So many students are thinking outside the box,’” Rossi said.

Student members of the WEB leaders program met with Poland sixth-graders to discuss what being a good leader means.

WEB leaders help sixth-graders transition to middle school

By JESSICA HARKER jharker@vindy.com

P ol a nd M i d d l e S c h o o l eighth-graders are spending time this year working to help sixth-graders through the new WEB leaders program.

Counselor MaryJo Rowan said the initiative was started this school year, with the goal of helping shape eighth-graders into leaders and help sixthgraders transition to middle school.

“We want them to lead in a positive way to encourage kindness, empathy, connection and inclusion. They do this through being visible throughout the school day,” Rowan said.

Thirty-four eighth-graders

are part of the program, Rowan said, which they have to apply for.

Students who w ish to be WEB leaders submit an essay where they answer three questions about their time in middle school and what leadership means to them.

Rowan said that chosen students then participate in training, that starts on May Play Day and continues during the summer.

“Students come in for two days to be trained on how to be mentors and how to run a sixthgrade orientation,” Rowan said.

“These students then run sixthgrade orientation with myself See LEADERS, Page 10

Shepherd of the Valley residents use story telling app Shepherd of the Valley has partnered with OneDay, an instant video platform, to digitally preserve the stories of residents at its four campuses across the Mahoning Valley.

OneDay’s mobile app is an interactive, personalized storytelling tool allowing Shepherd of the Valley staff to capture resident stories and video content. Residents can choose a conversation topic and Shepherd of the Valley staff can record them answering a few questions about it using an iOS or Android device.

The video clips are then compiled into a short video that can be immediately shared with family members via email or text. The videos are preserved on residents’ individual My Story pages and are made available to families long after their loved one has passed.

“The Shepherd of the Valley and OneDay partnership will enable residents, staff and families to build better relationships, improve social connections and

provide person-centered care services. This tool will be available to all residents of Shepherd of the Valley. We want to give them the ability to share their stories or an important message with their loved ones,” said Shepherd’s CEO, Rich Limongi.

There have already been many successes utilizing the app, and family member response has been positive and the app allows families to send messages back to the resident in response to the video.

“We are thrilled at the opportunity to instantly preserve residents’ life stories and strengthen connections between their loved ones using OneDay. Our staff is having a lot of fun creating these memories that will be able to be cherished by the families we work with. Our goal is to enable a new aging experience by improving the way stories are shared throughout the community,” Corporate Director of Marketing, Sales and Communication Danielle Procopio said.

and the other advisors.”

After training, eighth-graders are broken into teams of two and are paired with groups of 8-10 sixth-graders they will work with throughout the year.

“They meet during orientation to complete ‘get to know you’ activities and to plan goals for the new school year,” Rowan said.

Rowan said WEB leaders then meet throughout the year with their sixthgraders.

“The eighth-grade WEB Leaders and sixth-grade students have interactions through social gatherings such as attending a Poland football, basketball or volleyball game together, eating lunch together in the cafeteria, checking in or high-fiving in the hallways,” Rowan said.

Eighth-graders also teach lessons

to sixth-graders, covering topics they learned about through their middle school experiences.

WEB leaders wear bright orange shirts on the first day of school as well, making them easy for sixth-graders who may need help to identify.

Rowan, along with Wendy Butch, Pam Angelilli, Abby Aebischer and David Purins were trained in the program last year.

Rowan said she hopes to see the program continue to grow over the years.

“I’ve noticed a positive difference and change in the culture of the middle school since implementing the WEB Leaders program,” Roawn said. “I definitely am excited to see how we can help it grow next school year.”
