Regional Science Olympiad
Last month, members of the Pisgah Forest Elementary School Science Olympiad Team traveled to Lenoir-Rhyne College in Hickory for the Regional Science Olympiad Competition. The PFES team competed against 17 other schools in eighteen different events ranging from creating a pasta tower to launching a water rocket. Students trained and practiced for months after school to prepare for the competition, learning about the laws of physics, dinosaurs, botany, landforms, outer space, and other areas of science. The team finished with medals in Circuits, Forces and Motion, and Biomes. Medalists were Jeremiah Shook, Chase Bishop, and Bain Brown. Money for materials was provided by the Transylvania County Schools Educational Foundation. The PFES Science Olympiad is open to fourth and fifth graders and is coached by teachers Bob Dinsdale and Keisha Dawalt.
Congratulations, Dr. Sutton
On May 3, David Sutton, Director of Human Resources, successfully defended his dissertation at Western Carolina University. Our congratulations go to Dr. Sutton for his outstanding achievement.
Local Spanish Students Score Well
Congratulations to students from Rosman High School who attained national recognition for excellent performance on the 2012 National Spanish Examinations. Five students from RHS earned honorable mentions: Megan Anders, Austin Curto, Logan Hogsed, Samuel Johnson, and Tiesha Pressley. Additionally, freshman Samantha Anders earned a bronze medal, scoring high enough to be eligible for a scholarship to attend Concordia’s Language Village in Minnesota next summer. The National Spanish Examinations are administered each year in grades 6-12, and are sponsored by the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese. The exams are the largest of their kind in the United States with 143,641 students participating in 2012. Julie Queen and Linda Carrillo are the RHS Spanish teachers.

N.C.G.S. 115C-50 requires all local board members to receive a minimum of 12 clock hours of training annually. The North Carolina School Boards Association sponsors workshops and training activities throughout the year as an avenue for board members to comply with this requirement. In addition, members may attend local or other non-sponsored training activities to earn CEU hours toward the required total. The applications for local, non-sponsored CEU credit require board approval.
A motion is in order to approve the following application(s) for non-sponsored credit:
1. Shelia Norman, 10 clock hours, “NC CAP Mayoral Summit on Afterschool”, April 16-17, 2012, Charlotte.
2. Cindy Petit, 10 clock hours, NC CAP Mayoral Summit on Afterschool”, April 16-17, 2012, Charlotte.
