The Eveleth-Gilbert
School District is in the first
year of implementation of a
five year strategic plan. One
of the goals for the first year
of implementation is to
provide more professional
development opportunities for the teaching staff. Professional
development for teachers is valued by the district as a means of
empowering staff effectiveness.
Elementary teachers meet in grade level meetings on a monthly
basis. During the grade level meetings teachers examine student
data for the purpose of improving instruction. They share and
discuss interventions they are using to help students who are
experiencing difficulty in learning new skills. They work
cooperatively to develop additional interventions that will
develop, refine, or enhance all students’ skills. At the present time,
district administration are exploring the use of Viewpoint, a data
warehouse, that would make individual student data more readily
available to staff.
Secondary and Elementary teaching staff have participated in
technology training this year. Interactive white boards were
purchased for twenty-one classrooms this year. The teachers
receiving the interactive whiteboards were trained as to how to
use the whiteboards and are now incorporating their use in
classroom instruction. Teachers have found the use of interactive
whiteboards in the classroom increases student engagement. I
encourage parents, grandparents, and other family members to
ask the students if their teacher has an interactive whiteboard and
what they think about it as a means of delivering instruction. It is
administration’s goal to have interactive whiteboards available for
use by all classroom instructors by the 2011-2012 school year.

E-G Senior High
Participates in Robotics
Competition
Mr. Haraden assists a student
Students begin taking apart small engine
Nearly a dozen Senior High students will
participate in the FIRST Robotics Competition
mentored by Mr. Tim Strasser. The
competition began on January 8 with a local kick
off event held at University of Minnesota Duluth
Campus.
The FIRST Robotics Competition challenges teams
of students to solve a common problem using a
kit of materials and a common set of rules. The
team has six weeks to build robots from the parts
and compete in games designed by a committee
of engineers and other professionals.
Discovering Small Engines
Everyone will own a small engine at one time or
another and at E-G Senior High there is a class
designed to give the basics of trouble shooting and
general maintenance. The Small Engine class is a two
period class located on the Gilbert Campus.
The purpose of the class is to understand the working
of a two and four cycle engine. Students learn
systems such as: compression, lube, fuel, and ignition.
The projects begin with taking apart two school
engines, one of which includes an overhead valve
engine. Once students have completed working on
the school provided engines, they can bring in their
own projects to work on.
The E-G small engine shop has new equipment a
portion of which was provided by a grant from
Minnesota Power.
Students look on as the instructor
explains the process
It is anticipated that 55,000 high school students
nationwide will participate in this years
competition.
Participation in this robotics competition was
made possible with a grant received by the JC
Penney corporation.

Growing a Salt Crystal Garden
The 8th grade Earth Science class, instructed by Mrs.
Zupancic conducted a Salt Crystal Garden Lab.
On the first day of the experiment, students poured
water, salt, bluing, and ammonia over pieces of sponge.
On the second day salt was added. By the third day,
crystals were beginning to form and students added more
salt, water bluing and ammonia. Food coloring was added
to colorize the salt crystals. Students documented the
changes in the crystal formations after each day.

Crystal Garden, visit the district website at:

We have successfully
completed semester one of
the 2010 - 2011 school
year. A lot of exciting things
have been happening on the
Gilbert campus since early
September. I would like to
thank staff, students, and
community members that
have helped this first
semester go so well. The second semester will be very exciting with new
schedules and new opportunities for our students.
One of the great things that happened on the Gilbert campus during
the first semester was an all campus food drive competition put
together by our student councils. The Nelle Shean and junior high
councils set up a giant graph to keep track of food items brought in by
each competing class. They also had individual prize drawings for
students that brought in food items or cash donation, and a pizza party
for the winning class. The students had a lot of fun with it as did the
staff. We were able to deliver 1881 pounds of food and $238 to the
Quad Cities Food Shelf. When we dropped of the items at the food
shelf, a staff member said she believed it was the largest single donation
they had ever received in her 23 years at the food shelf. I would like to
thank Danette Seboe and Jodi Thompson who put this together and
made it possible for our communities. I would also like to thank our
students, parents and staff for being so generous.
Also at the junior high, we had our first Youth Frontiers Courage
Retreat for all students on January 6th
. Our students participated in
activities and discussed the difficult decisions they are faced with
everyday as young people. They also discussed ways to help and
support each other in making the sometimes tough decisions to do the
right thing. At the end of the day our students were asked to write
down one act of courage, on their part, which would make our school a
better place for everyone. They were also given a chance to come
forward to share their act of courage with the entire junior high. I am so
proud of the many students who had the courage to share with the
whole school, and those that didn’t share their act of courage but had
the courage to support those students that did. Thank you again to
Danette Seboe who put this very powerful day together for our staff and
students. Also, thank you to all of the staff members that took such an
active role in the days activities and the senior high students who came
over to be our small group leaders for the day. You were all amazing.
As we look forward to the second half of the year, I would like to put
out a few reminders that will help your students be successful this
coming semester. Don’t hesitate to contact any of the teachers with
questions or concerns. They are here to help and they are very good at
what they do. You may also use the PowerSchool parent portal to keep
up on your student’s progress and attendance. If you do not yet have a
login and password please notify the office and one will be provided to
you.
Thank you all again for a great year to this point. We are looking
forward to the second semester and are hopeful that we will continue to
see parents and community members stopping by to see what’s
happening in our schools. Thank you for your continued support and
efforts to help make our schools the best they can be for our
communities.

NEWS FROM THE FRANKLIN
-By LYNN BOL, Principal
The Franklin students and staff
are adjusting nicely to the new
office. We love the space and
the wonderful sunny side of the
building. Just a reminder you
now enter the building through
the pink doors on both the east
(door 11) and west (door 10) sides.
December was a busy month with classroom craft days,
skating, sliding parties, and the wonderful holiday concert
presented by the kindergarten -3rd
grade classes.
January brings cold days and more snow, but the students
don’t seem to mind they just love to be outdoors and slide.
February is, as always, my favorite, “I Love to READ Month,”
and we have wonderful school activities that challenge the
students and get them reading. We will celebrate the month’s
activities with a magician and carnival for the students. Happy
Reading!!

The Eveleth-Gilbert 7th
grade industrial technology
students apply the skills they
have learned in class to
construct a Co2 powered race
car. Students use a basswood
car blank to design their car to strict weight and size
specifications.
Students incorporate sketching, drafting,
engineering, physics, and aerodynamic principles in
the construction of their race car. “The students are
excited to learn”, said Mr. Clouse, Eveleth-Gilbert’s
industrial technology teacher. Research shows that
students have greater retention
of knowledge if they apply that
classroom knowledge to real life
applications.
This semester’s winner was
Trent Rolstone with an average
top speed of 123.6 miles per
hour. Thomas Koskela had a second place finish
with an average speed of 120.8 miles per hour.

Flat Stanley Arrives at
Nelle Shean
The Flat Stanley
Project is an
international
literacy and
community
building activity.
Ms. Young’s third
grade class participates in the project each year.
Students first read the book “Flat Stanley” by John Brown.
Then each student chooses a person somewhere in the
world to send their own Flat Stanley to. The friend or
relative keeps Flat Stanley for one to two weeks, designs
him, then sends Stanley back to the classroom with pictures
and different information about their community.
This year, Stanley visited several interesting places like:
different communities in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan,
Texas, Missouri, Arkansas, Indiana, Washington, California,
Florida, Las Vegas, Hawaii, Germany, Spain, and even
Thailand. The students had a great time doing this project.
They really looked
forward to the day that
their Stanley arrived in
the mail.
Once Stanley arrived
back to the classroom,
students shared their
letter, pictures, and
information with the class and made a poster board to
display in the hallway. Not only was this a fun project, but
also a great learning experience for the entire class!
Senior High Update
-By JAN MESICH, Principal
Introducing the Newest E-G School Board Members
I'm Mona Putzel and am a graduate of Eveleth
High School (prior to the consolidation). I've
been married to Frank for almost 40 years
and am a mom and grandma. I have a degree
in business and my background has included
corporate accounting as well as many years as a
public employee. I'm looking forward to the privilege of
working with the other members of the School Board as well
as our entire Administration. My focus is on students,
families and community support. Our staff, at every level, is
the very best. Communication among all stakeholders is
improving and with the addition of Denise Berry as our
primary communications person I'm sure we'll see a
dramatic growth in shared information.
My name is Beth Collins Wedge and I am
one of the new Eveleth-Gilbert school
board members. My husband and I live with
our two sons in Gilbert. I am a graduate of
Eveleth-Gilbert high school and Gustavus
Adolphus College. I am a fifth grade teacher at
Roosevelt Elementary in Virginia. When I am not in
school I like to ski, continue to try to keep my balance
on a snowboard, garden, officiate high school swim
meets, or read. As a former teacher for Eveleth-
Gilbert, I am very excited to be in a leadership role for
our district.
What’s new at EGHS?
Eveleth-Gilbert students
are currently involved in
the FIRST Robotics Com-
petition! Tim Strasser, our
Chemistry/Physics instruc-
tor, has volunteered to
serve as an advisor. The
goal of the program is to inspire students to pursue a career
in science or technology. Students have been given the di-
rective to build a sophisticated robot capable of participating
in a game that changes annually. The main event will be held
at the DECC in Duluth on Thursday, March 10 through Satur-
day, March 12.
The second semester begins on Tuesday, January 25. The
office has been busy as students pick up their schedules and
make preparations for their new classes. Report cards will
be mailed home during the first week in February.
Students will begin registering for 2011-2012 classes during
the first week of February.
The National Honor Society assumed responsibility for
some impressive projects this year. The winter clothing
drive resulted in the delivery of 102 coats to the Salvation
Army. NHS students also volunteer weekly at Willow Wood
(a memory care facility) and help with the Elk-o-Gram for the
Elk’s Club. They will work with elementary students during “I
Love to Read” month and will organize the annual Memorial
Day program. Thank you to Liz Biondich, NHS Advisor, and
her students for the many contributions made to our school
community.
Snow Week is scheduled during the week of February 7-11.
An enthusiastic group of staff and students are working hard
to ensure that this will be the best snow week ever!
Parent-teacher conferences for 7-12 grade students will be
held on February 28 from 3:30 – 7:00 PM in the gymnasium.
Please mark your calendars and plan to attend!

National Education Leader—Youth Frontiers—
Partnered with EG Jr. High on Character Development
Program -By Danette Seboe & Youth Frontiers Staff
To help build a more positive school community, on January 6th
, Youth Frontiers,
the leading character education organization in the Upper Midwest, partnered with
the Eveleth-Gilbert Junior High to host a comprehensive Courage Retreat for the 7th
and 8th
grade classes. Through initiatives that focused on the importance of being
respected and valued, Youth Frontiers delivered a program designed to improve
school climate and strengthen student character, as they have for hundreds of
schools across the country.
For over 23 years, Youth Frontiers’ successful and highly regarded retreats have
sought to teach students how to incorporate the values of kindness, courage, re-
spect and integrity into their personal and school lives. The organization aims to
strengthen core values, confront negative behaviors and enable students to recog-
nize the consequences of their actions. Last year, the nationally renowned, Twin
Cities-based nonprofit held over 600 retreats for more than 90,000 students and
educators. Since its inception, Youth Frontiers has reached more than one million students.
Youth Frontiers staff clearly understand the challenges students face every day in their oftentimes compli-
cated lives. They also know that at the root of one’s character lies values.
“We teach values unapologetically. Our mission is to change the way students treat each other in every hall-
way, lunch line and classroom of every school in America,” says Youth Frontiers Founder and CEO Joe Cava-
naugh, who General Colin Powell has described as “a leader in our nation’s effort to rescue America’s young
people.” Cavanaugh says,” we are not succeeding if our children receive an “A” in Math…and an “F” in life.”
Youth Frontiers offers high-impact retreats for schools, using interactive games, music, small discussion
groups and gripping stories to break down walls between young people, and to help them to see each other
differently. Throughout the retreat day, students begin to exhibit traits of true character – mending relation-
ships, stating acts of courage and respecting themselves and others.
30 Eveleth-Gilbert high school students, all juniors and sophomores, were trained by Youth Frontiers staff to
be small group leaders. These students did a fantastic job of keeping all the junior high students involved and
comfortable. This retreat was a very moving experience for everyone involved, including the high school lead-
ers, staff, and all of our junior high students. (continued on page 11)

At the end of the retreat, students were asked to write down one Act of Courage they would perform that
would make our school a better place. They were then given the opportunity to tell the group what their Act of
Courage would be, by placing a pebble in the pond (every act of courage creates a ripple and stirs up more!).
Many students spoke about not judging others, not making fun of others, not
spreading rumors, and stepping in when they saw bullying taking place.
Throughout the year, our school will have Courage activities that will re-
mind students of the changes they wanted to make in our school and keep
the themes of the Courage Retreat at the front of their minds. Some teachers
will be using activities designed by Youth Frontiers to further the learning and
changing that took place on our retreat day.
We feel we were very fortunate to be able to bring this organization to our
school. This Courage Retreat was very well designed for our 7th
and 8th
grade
students. We spent the morning playing large group games designed to get
the students comfortable taking risks and getting to know their small group and high school leaders. The small
group activities provided a chance for our students to connect with high school students to talk about what
junior high is like, including what is difficult and what they would miss. They talked about their biggest fears
and then focused in on how to address them.
We are so proud of our students and the effort they made during this retreat. The entire 7th
and 8th
grade,
and their 30 high school leaders, spent an entire day in the gym, in groups that DIDN’T include their friends,
and they had a fantastic time. They treated each other with respect, took chances that required courage, and
took a good hard look at how they treat each other during a normal school day. Some of our students took the
opportunity at the end of the day to apologize to their peers for pick-
ing on them or bullying them. Special thanks need to go to the senior
high students who worked hard (and were incredibly successful) to
make sure every student was comfortable and every student partici-
pated.
We look forward to seeing these Acts of Courage happen in our typi-
cal school days and will use what students learned in this experience
to talk through things that come up in school from now on. We expect
that this retreat, combined with ongoing activities and conversations
with each other, teachers, staff, and parents, will decrease the severity
and frequency of bullying and lessen hurt feelings caused by kids who
think they are just “being funny.”
The staff at Eveleth-Gilbert Junior High want all of our students to
feel comfortable in school, to be confident enough to get help when
they are being bullied, to be strong enough to stand up for those who are, and to be courageous enough to
know when they have crossed the line and become the bully. This retreat was a dynamic way to address all of
these things and more.
