It is hard to believe that we completed the first quarter of school and the opening of the new Administrative building and Media Center is upon us. What a thrill it is to be part of such an awesome school and to see the construction improve our school facility daily. Following winter break, the cafete-ria and field house will be close to completion and the ninth grade academy building will take shape. These important improvements along with our continued effort to raise the academic achievement of students are inspiring. I am very proud to announce the educational opportunities offered to students. Our campus is now a test center for the ACT and SAT assessments so students do not have to travel to take these impor-tant college entrance exams. Tu-toring for students is available four days a week after school and monthly Saturday Boost Camps are held for test preparation and en-richment. Our dual enrollment and Advanced Placement course offer-ings have been expanded, allowing students to earn college credit while still attending high school. Congratulations are in order to the Central Florida Aerospace Acad-emy (CFAA). Students will have the opportunity to downlink with the International Space Station through a very competitive grant award. Each downlink is approximately twenty minutes long and provides students and educators the oppor-tunity to interact with crew mem-bers aboard the space station through a question and answer session. I would like to encourage our parents and community to compel our students to pursue rigorous courses as they prepare for great-ness in everything that they do. Together we make a difference. Please continue to feel the power! It is a great day to be a “Red Devil!”

FFA members have been very active! FFA officers attended the Chapter Officer Leadership Training (COLT) in Haines City. Pictured below, KHS 2010-2011 officers: include Bonnie Tyer, Nicole Green, Morgan Carlton, Ary Folds, Pa-tience Conway, Tyler Wilford, Avalon Warren, Michaela Butler, Megan Yelving-ton, Rachel Branch, and Wanda Chaney. They participated in leader-ship, communication, and team-building workshops. They plan to utilize what they learned throughout the year to help strengthen the FFA chapter. Kasie Myers, Nicole Green, Morgan Carlton and Ary Folds won 1st Place at the District Forest Con-test in Kissimmee State Park. Stu-dents took a 6-part exam: general knowledge questions (50); dendrol-ogy questions (identify 40 tree specimens by sci-entific names); disease and disorders (identify 45 forest diseases), timber cruising (calculate board feet per acre); tool identification (identify tools used in the industry); and they used a compass to measure distance across a given area and take the azimuth reading in degrees. These students will represent Polk County at the state contest in Perry. Their 10+ hours of weekly practice and countless hours of study time will ensure their

FFA Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana. They gathered great new ideas to help KHS FFA grow in service projects, leadership oppor-tunities and career development. Over 55,000 FFA members from across the nation were in atten-dance. “It was a once in a lifetime experience” stated Morgan Carlton. Wanda Chaney and Alexis Stevens competed in the FFA County Creed contest. FFA Alumni hosted a golf tour-nament as a fundraiser at Sandpiper

and raised over $4,200 for the club. Seven teams participated in the event and 19 business partners sponsored holes. The money will be used to pro-vide leadership opportunities for students as well as scholarships for graduating seniors. A special thanks to parents, community members and busi-nesses who made this event a success! Congratulations to Ms. Hall. She has been asked to serve on the state writing curriculum team for Agriculture. We are so proud of her!

Key Club By: Amy Klass

Last month Key Club was asked to volunteer at Camp Fire USA’s annual haunted house. Camp Fire USA is one of the na-tion's lead-ing non-

profit youth development organizations. Their yearly haunted house fundraiser is put together and operated by teen members of Camp Fire USA. This year’s theme was “Bloody Hard Times” and consisted of nine different rooms ranging from the time periods of the Black Plague to Ancient Egypt to the Salem Witch Trials. Key Club members Amy Klass, Emily Klass, Carmen Delgado, Megan Powers, Taylor Thompson, Danielle Runyon,

Kayla Estes, Taylor Ragon, Ruben Aponte, Alexis Gilliam, Alexis Haggins and Faculty Advisor Ms. Arbelo all volunteered and dressed up as these scary characters. “It was

so much fun to dress up and scare people at the same time helping the community and gaining service hours!” said Key Club member Taylor Thompson. This is just one of the numerous service projects that the Key Club participates in. Key Club is an international, student-led organization which provides its members with op-portunities to perform service,

build character, and develop leadership. If you are interested in joining the fun and receiving community service hours, please see Ms. Ar-belo in C-6.

For the second year in a row, students from CFAA of KHS were recipients of the South-west Florida Water Management District (SPLASH) Mini-Grant in the amount of $4950.00. Students will be doing sediment core drilling in two lakes. CFAA/KHS is now officially a NASA Ex-plorer School. NASA invited selected teams to work with education specialists from NASA

centers in an effort to spark inno-vative science and mathematics instructions for students. NASA Explorer schools acquire new teaching resources and technology tools using NASA’s content, experts and other resources to provide exciting learning experi-ences for students. In October, KHS students celebrated a “Night Under the Stars” with Dr. Kevin MacKay. Stu-dents completed a hands-on activity and partici-pated in a discussion with Dr. MacKay. “This was a wonderful evening for our students,” said Mrs. Bradner.

project “Travel the World by Your Tastebud,” is cur-rently underway. This is an interna-tional culture and cuisine project offered to KHS Social Studies and Foreign Language classes. The objec-tives for this event include promoting an under-standing of people in different parts of the world; the cultural influences on the food that people eat and an awareness of how geography and climate affect the food that is available in different coun-

tries. It is sponsored by the Tony Cook Memorial Grant through American Institute for Foreign Study Foundation. The event will take place during 4th

and 5th periods in the Culinary Arts class-rooms on Tuesday, December 14. Admission requirements include canned or nonperish-able foods. The class that collects the most canned foods will receive a pizza party pro-vided by the culinary department in January, 2011. Check out their website http://kildayculinaryart.weebly.com/.

A school that has a school-wide Title I program must have a plan or policy to inform parents on how they become more involved in their student’s education. A compact helps carry out the plan and it was mailed to all student households on Novem-ber 1, 2010. There are three main parts to the Compact. The School Responsibilities section explains what ad-ministrators, teachers and school staff should do to

make school a positive place, the services provided and the opportunities for parents to get involved in their student’s education. The Parent Responsibili-ties section explains why it is important to provide a good place for studying and the importance of regularly checking student progress in addition to reviewing report cards. The Student Responsibili-ties section lists expectations that the student should place on themselves to insure success. These expectations include good attendance, preparation, completion of school work and show-ing respect to all within the school community. Please take the time to read and sign the Com-pact and return it to the front desk. Remember, you are always welcome in your student’s school. Teachers and other school staff want to work with you!

The NASA curriculum, developed and written by PCSB staff and USF/Coalition of Science Liter-acy (CSL) is currently be-ing field tested in twenty schools throughout the dis-trict. Twenty-eight middle school teachers are imple-menting the eleven middle school modules and two teachers at CFAA of KHS are implementing the nine high school modules. Twenty-eight sessions of professional development for the teachers

started in October, 2010 and will con-clude by February, 2011. Dr. Rod Brame, Science professor at USF Polytechnic is pro-viding all the pro-fessional develop-

ment sessions. The sessions take place on Saturdays and Monday evenings.

Our students participated in the Lakeland Linder Regional Airport Mass Disaster Exercise last month which was conducted in preparation for air carrier service at the airport. “It was a wonderful real life learn-ing experience for our students,” said Mr. Smith. About 50 students were victims and the remaining students got a front row seat as ob-

servers of the whole exercise. We received numerous compliments and thanks from the participating organizations such as Emergency Management of Polk County, Lakeland Airport, Lakeland Police, Polk Fire and EMS. “This is a credit to the great culture of commu-nity and service of CFAA/KHS,” said Mr. Smith.

Kaley Cragett started a mission last month to Pay it Forward. She asked three clubs at school to help her raise money for the Leuke-mia & Lymphoma Organi-zation/Light the Night Walk campaign in Novem-ber. They all turned her down as they said there wasn’t enough time. She didn’t take “No” for an answer. She raised over $200 on her own and par-ticipated in the walk. Thank you Kaley for Pay-ing it Forward. You are an inspiration to everyone!
