Rampant Family, February 14th marked more than Valentine’s Day
for many schools, including those in Pitt County, as it was the
100th Day of School. In elementary schools one could find a variety
activities celebrating the day. With the spring semester being in
full swing at the high school level commemoration of the 100th Day
of School is not seldom recognized. However, there is plenty of
activity to go around during this time of year, especially at Rose
High. And, that includes Valentine’s Day not going by without the
J.H. Rose Chorus conducting their annual event. The chorus
delivered entertainment and joy to students and staff alike with
their Singing Telegrams. A week prior, J.H. Rose hosted the Chamber
of Commerce’s Leadership Institute for the third year in a row. Our
Culinary Arts program served a gourmet meal while Link Crew members
provided informative tours. The organizer shared the following:
“Thank you for an excellent day today! From lunch to the
information and tours, you all did an outstanding job, as always.
As we were riding on the bus, many participants were talking about
how much they didn’t know about J.H. Rose and how impressed they
are with all you offer in and out of the classroom.” Later that
week, faculty members were able to share our course offerings with
rising 9th graders and current students at the J.H. Rose Curriculum
Fair. Our students have been active in competition as well with the
Rose Book Wars team placing 2nd in the county competition. The Mock
Trial Green Team will advance to the state competition after their
recent regional win. The school also received recognition from The
Printing Industry of the Carolinas, Inc. (PICA) for student’s
graphic design work. The piece was awarded Best of High School
Division. I close with a special congratulations to Ms. Adina
Midgette for her recog-
nition as Pitt County School’s Cafeteria Manager of the
Year.
For your reflection:
“
Goals are the links in the chain that connect activity to
accomplish-
ment.”

Academic Boosters Fund Spring Semester Grants
Academic Boosters February 2017
...enhancing teaching and learning
Ninth and 10th grade English teachers received an Academic
Boosters grant in the Fall for Vocabulary Power Plus for the ACT
workbooks. Other high schools in the district had implemented these
workbooks into their lessons and seen great success in student
assessments.
Mrs. Medlin, 10th grade English teacher, reports that “these
workbooks are valuable resources for our students (not just those
college bound or planning to take the ACT). Our students see and
use the words in context, enhance critical reading skills with
inferences, and use the words in various writing practices. These
lessons are also cross-curricular because passages involve topics
from science, social studies, literature, and humanities.”
The use of these workbooks does more than get students ready for
college, they help students improve vocabulary skills for all types
of testing, like benchmark tests and End of Course tests, as well
as the ACT and SAT. The workbooks also help to lay a foundation for
students in English I and II classes so that they will be better
prepared for upper level English classes. The English department is
highly appreciative of this grant money and all that it provides
for
our students. Thank you, Academic Boosters members, for your
contributions that make this
valuable resource possible for ALL 9th and 10th grade students
at J. H. Rose!

Exciting New Opportunity: AP Capstone
February Spirit Award Congratulation to Terry Claiborne the JHR
Rampant Spirit Award winner of the month! Ms. Claiborne gets this
award for her outstanding service as JH Rose’s bookkeeper for 19
years. Ms. Claiborne expertly manages the finances at JH Rose with
integrity and in the best interest of the school. Ms. Claiborne
counts it a joy to work with the students, staff, and parents
through the years; having made so many lasting friendships. Ms.
Claiborne believes that, "All of us at this GREAT SCHOOL are
devoted to being the very best! Faculty, Staff, Students, Teachers,
Parents-ALL!"
Ms. Claiborne shared that, "The Academic Boosters and the
Advisory Council work hard & tireless. They give so much. They
are devoted to making a difference in the lives of our students and
teachers. The Boosters and Council Members appreciate excellent
work and reward the students and teachers throughout each school
year. I am happy & humbled to be in this role to serve members
of both groups in any way possible." Ms. Claiborne believes that
careful planning and budgeting of finances are skills that every
person should master to be successful.
Mrs. Jacobson, Mr. Flinchbaugh, and Mrs. Hutchinson worked
together have applied to be an AP Capstone school, and
were recently approved. JH Rose is the first school in the East
to get this designation! We are so proud of your efforts!
"AP Capstone™ is a College Board program that equips students
with the independent research, collaborative teamwork,
and communication skills that are increasingly valued by
colleges. It cultivates curious, independent, and collaborative
scholars and prepares them to make logical, evidence-based
decisions."

PRESIDENT VOLUNTEER SERVICE AWARD
The President's Volunteer Service Award is a way of recognizing
student volunteerism on a national level. It is an award that
celebrates the spirit of the community and the dedication of those
members who offer their time and service to others. What: It is a
national award recognizing outstanding commitment to volunteerism
in the community. How: Students keep track of their volunteer hours
during the calendar year and complete the form found on the JHR
PVSA website. They have their qualifying supervisor sign off on
their volunteer hours on the forms after filling out the form.
Students submit all completed forms by February 28th. Dates: JHR
uses the calendar year for PVSA appli-cants, Jan 1-Dec 31. All
volunteer hours accumulated during that time frame is then
submitted and verified. Forms are due by Feb 28th, however
exceptions can be made. The paperwork is sent off in March to
ensure students have the opportunity to receive their awards and
recognition during awards day. Forms: Here is the JHR website for
PVSA, where the forms can be found:
https://sites.google.com/a/pitt.k12.nc.us/jhrpvsa/home
Why: Many students are already volunteering in the community.
This award recognizes their commitment to volunteerism and the work
they have put in bettering their community. Aside from
strengthening the bonds of the community and helping those in need,
many colleges and jobs look for students that are well-rounded and
committed to serving others through volunteering or non-profit
work. It is a benefit to both the community and to the student.
Whom: Submit forms to Stephanie Noles, [email protected] or
in person, room 314. JHR is one of very few certifying
organizations in Pitt County. There have recently been other
chapters express interest, but aside from Pitt Community Partners
and St. Peter’s, JHR has been a leader in this area, recognizing
5-10 students each year with the PVSA.
Special Thanks to our Corporate Sponsors!
