The profits from the carnival will go toward the school library. Thank you to all the wonderful adults and students who volunteered their time running the games, and setting up or cleaning up. Here are some photos from the event.

PBIS Team Meeting in Mankato
Today in Mankato PBIS staff members were completing the final day of training for implementation of PBIS. We were able to share our philosophies and brag a little bit about our implementation. We also were able to take some time to discuss Functional Behavior Assessments which are used to identify and deal with repeated problem behaviors. These plans are for students with a history of severe problem behaviors and resistance to intervention. The FBA's allow for a system of support that allows for a team of well trained and have direct experience, behavioral expertise in dealing with the student. What the FBA allows is a method to increase positive behaviors and removal of problem behaviors. Here are some photos of the entire cohort sharing their bulletin boards and collaborating.

Olweus Bullying Prevention Program Staff Training
During our two hour late start on March 12th, staff members were participants in the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program (OBPP). Staff members also spent time on more safety and awareness training sponsored by the LP fire department. We were trained in proper use and care of fire extinguishers. The OBPP team meets every other Thursday morning and discusses the proper steps of implementation to seamlessly bring this program into our school. We are working toward creating rubrics, rules, policies, and other parts of the program. Each member of the team will be leading a group of other staff members in our discussion groups as we get to the spring of the school year. Below are some pictures from the training.

WEM Outstanding Educator Awards Program
The WEM Outstanding Educator Awards Program was
created in 1998 by the WEM Foundation in support of teachers and their
important role in helping all students achieve academically and seeks to bring
recognition to the often "unsung heroes" who meet the challenges of
teaching in a variety of settings. Synergy & Leadership Exchange (Synergy),
formerly the Center for Academic Excellence, in partnership with the service
cooperative members of The Minnesota Service Cooperatives (MSC), administers
the award program on behalf of the WEM Foundation. Educators and
administrators from Minnesota public or non-public schools and educational
institutions are eligible.
Each year a call for nominations is issued.
Parents, students, administrators or colleagues are invited to nominate
educators who they believe make a difference in the lives of students. We
encourage you to participate in the nomination process for the 2013 program by
completing a nomination form now for Teacher
Achievement, Academic Challenge Coach or Ethics in Education. You may also
download a nomination form, available as a PDF or Word doc and mail or fax it to us.
To nominate someone for the Excllence in Education
award, please complete this nomination form. This award follows a
different process than the other three awards and is a "lifetime
achievement award." It is not presented every year.
The WEM Outstanding Educator Award program honors
educators in four areas:
Nominated educators are required to complete an application
packet to become eligible for the Teacher Achievement, Ethics in
Education and/or Academic Challenge Coach awards. Following review by a
preliminary evaluation panel, the applications are evaluated by a Blue Ribbon
independent panel of judges representing business and academia. Panelists
adhere to specific judging criteria
while selecting state honorees. In honor of the 15th anniversary of the
program, the 2013 honorees will receive a crystal apple and an unrestricted
$15,000 gift at the awards brunch in the fall. Regional honorees receive an
unrestricted $1,000 gift, trophy and the opportunity to compete in the state
competition the following year.
