New directory lists online sources
for
corporate grants
[DEC.
11, 2002]
MIAMI, Fla. -- For
educational and nonprofit organizations seeking program funding,
private companies can be a major source of philanthropy -- even in
tough economic times. To help grant seekers identify and locate
opportunities for corporate grants and giving, Miami-based Resource
Media Group, Inc., has published the fall 2002 issue of its serial
directory, "Corporate Grants and Giving on the Internet: A Directory
of Web Pages."
|
Directory listings include individual
Internet addresses for the actual grants-and-giving website pages of
over 600 major national and regional corporations which, together,
have branches or do business in virtually every local community.
Each listing also provides a headquarters location, an industry
description and a summary of the corporation's charitable areas of
interest -- from education and community programs to the arts, the
environment, health and human services, medical research,
technology, and youth development. Internet addresses for the
companies' home pages are included to facilitate research on
products and services, branch and plant locations, financial
results, and contacts.
"Online research is becoming ever more
fruitful for grant seekers," says William Scheer, CEO of Resource
Media Group, publisher and distributor of titles on grants and
funding. "Companies have placed a great deal of information on their
websites." And with the value of private-sector largesse estimated
to reach $9 billion to $10 billion per year, corporate gifts are well worth
pursuing.

"Even in recession, big companies
continue to make cash grants," says Scheer, "as philanthropy is a
key part of public relations. And non-cash gifts, such as employee
volunteering and product donations, are also a priority, as they
further enhance a corporation's standing as a good citizen."
Updated quarterly to accommodate new
listings and frequent address changes of Web pages, "Corporate
Grants & Giving on the Internet: A Directory of Web Pages" is
offered at $16.95 for a single issue or $57 for an annual
subscription of four issues.

IMSA
launches Internet skills program for Illinois schools
[DEC.
6, 2002]
AURORA -- The Illinois
Mathematics and Science Academy launched the 21st Century
Information Fluency Program for schools throughout Illinois. The
program builds the capacity of middle and high school librarians,
teachers and students to locate, evaluate and use Internet
information resources productively.
|
School librarians participate in an
online course and use a rich array of Web-based learning materials
and software tools. Librarians then recruit teachers from their
schools to develop lesson plans that integrate Internet resources
into learning experiences. Participating librarians and teachers
become members of an online network that connects them to Illinois
colleagues dedicated to online learning and to timely information
about online resources.
The 21st Century Information Fluency
program is made possible through a $900,000 grant from the U.S.
Department of Education that covers 89 percent of costs. The balance
of funding is provided by IMSA.
Congressman and House Speaker J. Dennis
Hastert secured the grant dollars for IMSA, calling the program "a
potential national model."
"Once again IMSA has stepped forward to
meet an important state and national need," Hastert said. "This
program will ensure that more teachers and students have the
knowledge, skills and dispositions to use the Internet to improve
learning. This is especially critical in urban, rural and small
towns where the digital divide is most pronounced."
The program is led by Dr. David Barr,
director of online learning at IMSA. He states, "To continue to
serve teachers and students in the 21st century, schools need to
support the development of libraries without walls, providing access
to digital multimedia information."
[to top of second column in this
article]
|
Program partners include the Illinois
School Library Media Association, the Illinois Virtual High School,
the Illinois Digital Academic Library and the Illinois Century
Network.
The program involves partnerships with
100 Illinois middle and high schools during the 2002-2003 academic
year. Applications for the spring semester will be accepted
beginning in December 2002. Participants pay no fees unless
university credit is desired. Interested applicants can learn more
about the program by visiting
http://wizard.imsa.edu/learn.
Located in
Aurora, IMSA is an internationally recognized pioneering educational
institution created by the state to develop talent and stimulate
excellence in teaching and learning in mathematics, science and
technology. IMSA's advanced residential college preparatory program
enrolls 650 academically talented Illinois students in grades 10-12.
More than 14,000 teachers and 20,000 students in Illinois and beyond
have benefited from IMSA's professional development and enrichment
programs. IMSA serves the people of Illinois through innovative
instructional programs, public and private partnerships, policy
leadership and action research.

ambassadors at Lincoln College
[NOV.
25, 2002]
Amy Humbert and Kelly
Dowling, both of Lincoln, have been selected to serve as admissions
ambassadors for the admissions office at Lincoln College.

Lunch with the chief
[NOV. 15, 2002]
The two fifth-graders who
left Washington-Monroe School at 11:30 a.m. Thursday with Police
Chief Rich Montcalm hadn’t been doing anything they shouldn’t.
|
It was just the opposite. They’d been
doing exactly what they should — showing leadership and taking
responsibility — and their reward was to take part in a new program,
"Lunch with the Chief."
Jeff Owen, in Kate Ewing’s class, and
Chris Bernhardt, in Martha Holland’s room, left school with the
chief of police to have lunch at Bonanza. Chief Montcalm
also gave the two boys black T-shirts that said “Lunch with the
Chief” on the front and had a picture of a Lincoln police car on the
back. He told them they were the only people in town with
those shirts.
Jeff and Chris were the first two fifth-graders to be part
of the new program initiated by the Lincoln Police Department, and
Washington-Monroe School is the first area school to have its
students recognized.
![](../images/111502pics/lunchwchief.jpg)
[Photo by Gina Sennett]
[(From left) Police Chief Rich Montcalm, Chris
Bernhardt, Jeff Owen and Principal Rebecca Cecil.]
The police department is rewarding
fifth-grade students who have shown leadership or great improvement
in the classroom, said Principal Rebecca Cecil.
"Both boys have been very responsible
in completing homework and assignments. They are maintaining high
grades, A’s and B’s, and serving as models for other students."
She said fifth-graders are excited
about the program, and parents are very supportive. Chris and Jeff’s
parents were honored that the boys were chosen.
"We like involving the police in a
positive way instead of as people who arrest other people. We like
the proactive collaboration police have with us, and we really
appreciate their support," she said.
The new program fits right in with the
Washington-Monroe emphasis on values, too.
[to top of second column in
this article]
|
Cecil and her teachers work hard to
promote two academic values, reading and studying, and two character
values, respect and responsibility. That includes respect for all
other classmates and for teachers. The school also promotes a lot of
parental involvement.
Classrooms compete to win the flag and
trophy for the highest percent of homework completed each week,
Cecil said. Winning classes in two categories, primary and
intermediate, get to fly the flag outside their classroom.
"Students are very proud to get the
trophy and fly the flag," she said.
Students also compete individually to
be included in the "Party with the Principal," held every nine
weeks. Winners, those who have completed all their work, get to play
games, watch videos, and have treats and snacks. Cecil usually has
about 100 students who qualify for the party every nine-week
session.
The school has worked out a program for
students in grades 3-6 to help them keep up with their schoolwork.
For the past four years, these students have been keeping planners,
writing down assignments each day and having parents sign their
planners each night when they have finished their work.
"Parents like the program," Cecil said.
"That way they know what the homework is."
Washington-Monroe also welcomes
volunteers who can help students in the school setting. This year,
AmeriCorps volunteers and National Honor Society members at Lincoln
Community High School are coming in and working with students as
mentors and tutors.
Even though
more than half its students come from low-income families,
Washington-Monroe has a record of academic achievement. Last year 75
percent of its students met or exceeded state standards in reading
and mathematics, and the school won a Golden Spike award for showing
that students from low-income families can close the "achievement
gap." It was one of only 59 out of 920 low-income schools in
Illinois to get the award.

Lincoln school presents workshop
at statewide conference
[NOV. 14, 2002]
NAPERVILLE — Parents and
staff members from Washington-Monroe Elementary School were among
teams from 15 schools from across the state chosen to present their
effective school improvement strategies at the statewide
"School-Family Partnerships Make a Difference" conference on Oct. 25
in Naperville.
|
The Washington-Monroe team included
Principal Rebecca Cecil, teachers Leslie Singleton and Debbie
Turner, and parents Crystal Alley, Dawn Frye and Candy Boulb.
The Washington-Monroe team jointly
presented a workshop entitled "Focus on Literacy — Engaging all
Family Members in Learning" with the Creal Springs Elementary School
from Marion. The two schools discussed ways that families can foster
their children’s reading at home to reap benefits in school. The
presenters showed their workshop participants how to organize Family
Reading Nights, Family Resource Libraries and out-of-school
opportunities for families to complement school instruction. Both
schools have successfully implemented the Solid Foundation parent
engagement program for their kindergarten through fifth-grade
families.
Washington-Monroe is also the winner of
the Golden Spike Award for raising test scores three years in a row.
[to top of second column in

The
"School-Family Partnerships Make a Difference" conference was
sponsored by the Academic Development Institute, the Illinois Family
Partnership Network, and the Collaborative for Academic, Social and
Emotional Learning at the University of Illinois at Chicago. The
one-day symposium was designed to allow school and parent leaders to
learn from other Illinois schools that have successfully integrated
school-family partnerships and social and emotional learning to
enhance the school and life success of their students.

Sex, drugs and lies
[NOV. 8, 2002]
Two minutes after Dr.
Stephen R. Sroka began speaking, Cindy Crawford could have walked
across the stage and the students wouldn’t have noticed. OK, maybe
they would have noticed. In fact, they did, as a stunning picture of
Crawford in a sleek dress and Sroka with his arm around her waist
illuminated the picture screen.
|
This guy really knows how to grab
attention and how long he can hold it for, especially amongst young
people. They hung on his every word, as unbeknownst to them, the
high-energy guest speaker swept their thoughts and cleaned their
thinking.
Sroka led the 900-plus LCHS voices
chanting Thursday’s message:
My body
My choice
I am the power of one
He craftily picked them up using
tried-and-true Madison Avenue strategies and pop culture messages
and then deftly led them through the true realities using facts,
examples and statistics on sex, drugs, alcohol and violence. Using
an overhead projector and transparencies, he rapidly fired visual
images, slowing down to gather the students’ thoughts and then
speeding up as appropriate to lead them through less-than-pleasant
real-life issues, ultimately leading them to healthier thinking.
![](../images/110802pics/speaking.jpg)
[Photos by Jan Youngquist]
With the grace of a master, he grasps
their minds and enters their hearts by telling stories and using
humor. Recalling the story of a haughty young man wearing expensive,
name-brand tennis shoes, he points out that "the power of you"
is not the [brand] name on your butt or chest. Buy some reasonably
priced shoes and put the price difference in a college fund where it
will make a difference in who you are and will become. "Learn
something, be something," he says.
Using the lyrics of sexually charged
popular songs, he starts the lines, and in unison students finish
them. In the last song he says, "It’s getting hot in here." "So take
off all your clothes?" they respond.
Now they’re in the moment, and he runs
sexually transmitted disease facts past them. It isn’t pretty.
Eighty percent of the population has herpes. One-fifth of all teens
are stuck with the lifelong disease. Forty-six percent of the girls
get genital warts. He gives statistics that are teen-specific, not
general population.
There’s no dodging truth about sex and
its consequences. He makes it clear that oral sex is definitely sex
and it carries all the disease dangers of intercourse. In fact there
is no safe sex. A condom will not protect your real sex organ, the
one between your ears: the brain. It won’t protect your reputation,
and most importantly it won’t protect your heart.
The effects of drugs, alcohol,
violence, sex and addictions are addressed, supported with facts and
illustrated with familiar examples. He polls the students, and with
not the slightest hesitation, they raise their hands high. Yes, many
have seen the family member that used to be funny after a couple
beers and a few years later has become belligerent after a couple.
He asks, "Who knows someone in this room that has had sex?" The
auditorium is instantly filled with raised arms.
![](../images/110802pics/drugguy.jpg)
[to top of second column in
this article]
|
He interweaves stories and pictures of
people, some first-time users of any substance — inhalants, ecstasy,
meth, crank, heroine, steroids and over-the-counter stimulants. As
we all know now, some can’t take them. They can cause heart attacks.
Early alcohol use leads to alcoholism,
potential rape and violence within relationships.
Last year 1,800 youth committed
suicide. One in 10 teens made suicide plans last year. The acronym
"SUICIDE" acts as a guideline for friends to be aware of when
someone may be in trouble.
Substance
abuse
Undergoing
a loss
Isolation
Change
in behavior
Ideas
of suicide: If someone says they feel suicidal, do not dismiss it.
Get them to help immediately.
Depression:
They are acting sad.
Education:
Be aware of the signs.
The national suicide hot line is 1
(800) SUICIDE.
Important
life skills:
Can’t do
drugs
If you see someone doing drugs, alcohol
or violence, recognize these are all cries for help.
Get
involved
Whether it is in sports, clubs,
hobbies, art or bands, do things.
Call on a
higher power
As in "see you at the pole." Practice a
faith.
Practice
stress relievers
Such as deep-breathing exercise with a
steady pursed lip; release like you’re blowing bubbles.
Lighten
up
Have a little fun from time to time.
"Who lives in a pineapple under the
sea?" Sroka asks. And the kids all replied, "Sponge Bob Square
Pants."
This is from a TV cartoon, for those of
you who might be a little behind the times.
Think
first
Practice conflict management.
Sroka says that if we’re going to make
it as a society, we’re going to have to stop the hate.
Another chant breaks forth in cadence:
Stop the violence
pump up the peace
Knowledge and love
for you and me
Sroka left the students with a final
message to have awareness and sensitivity toward one another,
especially when parting. You always want to be conscious of your
words, as they could be the last that are spoken between you.
He showed them the strength that each
and every one has to make healthy choices. Showed them that they
hold the power to influence some one else. And drove home the
message that you should always tell people you love them before
parting.
Following
his presentation students flocked around him to speak. They liked
what he had to say. A group of boys all said, "Ya, I liked his
presentation. He was good." They all thought they didn’t really hear
anything new, but a couple liked the new perspective he brought to
some of the issues. Another said, "I liked the statistics,
especially the percentages." They put new meaning on things for him.

Speaker
addresses students
and community leaders
[NOV. 8, 2002]
Not your run-of-the-mill
speaker, but the times call for not your run-of-the-mill actions.
Shaken by the numbers of youth that have been involved in accidents
and other destructive behaviors in the last year, our community
leaders brought a nationally renown speaker and consultant, Dr.
Stephen Sroka from Lakewood, Ohio, to town Thursday. Sroka spoke to
students at Lincoln Community High School in the morning and at
Lincoln Junior High in the afternoon. He took a couple of hours
speaking with community leaders over the noon hour.
|
The father of three girls and a retired
teacher from Cleveland Public Schools, Sroka has been a national and
world leader in health education. As a visionary he has paved the
way, writing about current health issues with today’s youth, and has
spoken all over the nation. He has been called to consult in
communities as both a preventative measure and to those in the
recovery process.
He was inducted into the National
Teachers Hall of Fame in 1996. He continues to teach at the School
of Medicine, Center for Adolescent Health at Case Western Reserve
University and Cleveland State University. He also serves as
president of Health Education Consultants.

[Photo by Jan Youngquist]
[The Healthy Communities Partnership; Alcohol,
Tobacco, and Other Drugs Task Force; Lincoln Community High School;
Lincoln Police Department; and Dick Logan worked together in
bringing Sroka to town.]
At the noon-hour community gathering
Sroka shared perceptions of the LCHS student body and the responses
he got from students following his talk. He said, "You walk into
LCHS, and you feel respect in the building. The kids are
well-behaved, and the teachers have discipline." He liked how
teachers sat with students in the auditorium.
He was mobbed by kids following his
talk. They told him they liked what he had to say. Some had tears in
their eyes. He handed out about 50 cards with his name and e-mail
address on them and expects he will hear some serious messages from
some of the students
LCHS vice principal Todd Poelker said
students and teachers liked the presentation at the assembly.
Students said they liked the facts they got in short amount of time
and he was entertaining. The most common response was about facts
and stats on sexually transmitted diseases. Some were shocked at
what is out there. They said they didn’t realize all of it.
[to top of second column in
this article]
|
Sroka doesn’t hold back, much,
in his talks. What he does hold back is only because adults usually
have concerns about it. The kids want more. He grabs their thoughts,
using the newest teaching and learning technique, brain-based
thinking. He meets them where they are and then gives them the
facts. You have to reach their hearts and then show them they have
choices, he says. Kids need options.
He recommends building up clubs.
One-third of the kids are going to choose right. One-third will
choose wrong. It is the other one-third that sit on the boundary
that can be reached if you offer them something to do.
One thing he wants to emphasize it that
it is not up to the law enforcement or the schools to handle youth
issues by themselves. It takes "total community immersion," all
community agencies and families, every one working together on all
sides of our youth.
He advises that when dealing with
youth, "Treat them with the respect that you want to be treated
with." And he encouraged, "Go out and do the best you can, every day
you can." They will remember you all the rest of their lives if you
make them feel special. "It’s not what you tell someone, it’s how
you make them feel that does not change."
There were
about 30 in attendance at the noon meeting, including Lincoln mayor
Beth Davis, Logan County Board chairman Dick Logan, Lincoln DARE
officer Tim Butterfield, LCHS and LJHS administrators, Lincoln Park
District, Logan/Mason
Mental Health Department, Logan County Health Department, Healthy
Communities Partnership and others. The general consensus was that
everyone would have liked more time to do more things with Sroka.
Particularly having time for interaction and brainstorming. Kristi
Lesson, prevention specialist at Logan-Mason Mental Health, said,
"We hope to have him return for an open community forum." The public
will be invited.

LCHS speech coach receives
Outstanding Young Teacher Award
[DEC.
3, 2002]
Carrie Schreiber, in her third year of
teaching at LCHS, received the Illinois Speech and Theatre
Association's 2002 Jerry Mathis Outstanding Young Teacher Award at
this year's annual ISTA conference in Deerfield. The award honors
the accomplishments of educators in their first years of teaching
and coaching in the field of communication.
|
After graduating from
Eastern Illinois University, Ms. Schreiber, a 1995 graduate of LCHS,
returned to the high school in the fall of 2000 to teach English,
advanced public speaking and drama. She also co-coaches the highly
successful LCHS speech team with Ed Jodlowski and teamed with
Jodlowski last year to achieve a berth in the state final
competition with their contest drama cutting of "Of Mice and Men."
Schreiber and
Jodlowski will serve as co-editors of the ISTA Newsletter this year,
and in February they and Connie Link of Heyworth High School will
serve as co-hosts of the IHSA state speech finals in individual
events, which will be at Lincoln Community High School.
|
Schreiber's former speech coach, Dan
McLaughlin, presented her with the Outstanding Young Teacher Award,
recognizing yet another of his former students who have achieved
early success in their teaching careers. For "Mac," seeing Schreiber
receive recognition for her efforts in helping to revitalize the
LCHS competitive speech program was especially gratifying.
