    Students are guest speakers at Rochester Museum & Science Center
    A grant from the New York State Archives/Education Department enabled the Nunda­Area Veteran’s
    Project (NVP) to get under way. The project will honor local veterans through the collection, preserva­
    tion, and presentation of records, documents, and data relating to their military service. Doing the
    research are volunteer Keshequa Middle School students, parents, and volunteers, under the direction of
    KCS history teacher Tom Cook. The project will take the entire school year.
    The NVP team is currently surveying local organizations, libraries, and historians for pertinent
    information. Also, the students will soon begin contacting and interviewing local veterans. Collected
    KCS students and volunteers – ready to research the Nunda­Area Veteran’s Project. The students were also guest
    speakers at the Rochester Museum and Science Center. Pictured are (L to R) Sarah Burris, Kristin Hanley, Patty

    Superintendent’s Corner
    Dear Parents, Faculty, Staff and Community Members,
    Many exciting activities are happening this fall. Our athletic
    program continues to make us proud. The Middle School is quickly
    developing it’s own identity. Teachers that were hesitant to teach one
    subject all day are finding the experience refreshing and satisfying.
    Our elementary students are becoming wonderful ‘peacebuilders’
    and parents tell me their children are attempting to bring some of
    the principles into the home.
    The school year began with some significant changes from the
    government regarding education. Many mandates are included in
    the new law known as “No Child Left Behind.” In September, the state education
    department identified schools that were not performing adequately. While we were not on
    that list, there are implications for all schools. I have been asked to use this article to give
    a brief description of some of the provisions of this federal law.
    On Jan. 8, 2002, President Bush signed into law the No Child Left Behind Act of
    2001 (NCLB). The act contains the President’s four basic education reform principles:
    stronger accountability for results, increased flexibility and local control, expanded
    options for parents, and an emphasis on teaching methods that have been proven to work.
    Accountability for schools continues to be an expectation at the federal & state level.
    According to NCLB, an ‘accountable’ education system involves several critical steps:
    States must create their own standards for what a child should know and learn for all
    grades. Standards must be developed in math and reading immediately. Standards
    must also be developed for science by the 2005­06 school year.
    With standards in place, states must test every student’s progress toward those
    standards by using tests that are aligned with the standards. Beginning in the 2002­03
    school year, schools must administer tests in each of three grade spans: grades 3­5,
    grades 6­9, and grades 10­12 in all schools. Beginning in the 2005­06 school year, tests must be administered every year in grades
    3 through 8 in math and reading. Beginning in the 2007­08 school year, science achievement must also be tested.
    Each state, school district, and school will be expected to make adequate yearly progress toward meeting state standards. This
    progress will be measured for all students by sorting test results for students who are economically disadvantaged, from racial or
    ethnic minority groups, have disabilities, or have limited English proficiency. In New York, the state sets a score for school
    districts that informs schools what their adequate yearly progress figure will be (Here at Keshequa Central School, our test scores
    do meet adequate yearly progress).
    School and district performance will be publicly reported in district and state report cards. Individual school results will be on the
    district report cards. If the district or school continually fails to make adequate progress toward the standards, then they will be
    held accountable.
    No Child Left Behind will target education dollars to research­based programs that have been proven to help most children learn.
    As schools select programs such as reading programs, it is expected that decisions will take into account the research backing the
    effectiveness of the program. No Child Left Behind offers many new ways to help students, schools, and teachers. It also gives parents
    options for helping their children if they are enrolled in chronically failing schools. These new parental choices became available this
    school year for students already enrolled in schools that have been identified as failing under current law. Parents with a child enrolled
    in a failing school will be able to transfer their child to a better performing public school or public charter school. For the first time,
    parents with children in a failing school will be able to use federal education funds for what are called “supplemental education
    services.” Those services include tutoring, after school services, and summer school programs. The NYS education department has not
    provided regulations for how this will happen in central schools where there may only be one school in the district.
    Finally, there are implications for release of demographic information of students. Military recruiters are to be given names,
    addresses and phone numbers of students upon request. If parents or students do not want such information given, they merely need to
    inform the school. Parents in our district should have received such notification in the beginning of the school year.
    I hope to see many of you at our holiday events. During this time of holiday celebration, It is
    my hope that you will spend time with friends and family creating memories and passing along
    traditions. Season’s Greetings!

    There Auto Be A Law
    Keshequa students were
    treated to an interesting
    lesson which integrated
    technology with law and
    geography curriculum when
    they took the “There Auto Be
    A Law” mystery quiz,
    sponsored by Hyundai
    Automotives.
    The mystery quiz was
    placed on the CourtTV. com
    website and had students match the law with the state integrating
    geography into the lesson. It also explained numerous unique and
    weird laws.
    A sample question asked, “What mode of transportation
    incurs a fee in the Sunshine State no matter how many peanuts
    you give the meter maid?” Answer: An elephant, because under
    Florida state law, if an elephant is left tied to a parking meter, the
    parking fee must be paid just as it would for a motor vehicle.
    Sophomore Rachel King was one of the students that took
    the quiz. She earned a perfect score on the Auto Law quiz. After
    taking the quiz, Rachel said “It was really cool, I liked taking it. I
    wish we could do more stuff like this.”
    “Making learning fun and engaging is one of my goals,” said
    her computer teacher Shawn Bielicki. “I also enjoy linking the
    lesson with integrated technology and curriculum. I enjoy multi­
    facet learning; I always try to use computers as a vehicle to other
    learning. Today it was geography and automotive laws.”
    “I also like using things that are real to kids as an aide to
    reaching them. Because they recognize Court TV, they felt
    motivated and engaged in learning. Furthermore, since Hyundai
    sponsored it, kids thought it was bigger; more exciting than if it
    was in a normal workbook. Opportunities like this are free and
    exist all over the internet.”

    Rags-to-Riches Tale Impresses Small
    Business Class
    Dale Bielicki, president and general
    partner of Buffalo’s Carolina Furniture,
    visited the Small Business class taught by
    Rick Riggi. Mr. Bielicki shared with the
    students how, seven years ago, he started
    in business with only a little more than
    lunch money, and how it grew from a
    $60,000 business to a $6,000,000 one in
    such a short period of time. Carolina
    Furniture currently has three locations in
    the Buffalo area.
    Mr. Bielicki’s discussion of his
    humble beginnings dispelled some of the
    student’s misbelief that entrepreneurship
    was the good life on easy street. He
    began his furniture career as a twenty­
    something youth by sinking every dollar
    he had and could borrow into renting an
    old, big truck. Then he, and his two
    partners, drove down to North Carolina
    where they filled the truck full of sofas
    and recliners built by the local manufac­
    turers. The merchandise was purchased
    on credit. They then drove all night long
    for home, hoping the truck wouldn’t
    break down or run out of gas.
    They pulled into Buffalo with only a
    few dollars left and started selling
    furniture on street corners. Every
    morning by six, they had unloaded the
    furniture to catch commuters on their
    way to work, and remained there until
    sunset. At the end of the day, they loaded
    up what wasn’t sold, got a few hours rest,
    watched the weather channel, and back
    up and at ‘em on the corner.
    Each day’s goal was to sell enough
    product to put a few bucks away for a
    return trip to the Carolinas and to earn
    enough to eat.
    “Humble beginnings are how some
    of the greatest entrepreneurs started,”
    said Mr. Riggi, after finishing an object
    lesson on the successful confectioner
    Milton Hershey.
    Mr. Bielicki added that he never will
    Weather Channel said rain in the late
    morning, he would set up for a few hours,
    hoping to make at least one sale. When it
    rained for several days in a row, he would
    get really nervous and really thin,
    because he had no money for meals.
    Everything he had was invested in the
    truckload.
    Student Nikki Baylor asked, “Why
    didn’t you have a tent to set up?”
    Mr. Bielicki replied that was a great
    idea, but “I had no more money than you
    do now, and I simply couldn’t afford a
    tent.”
    When it got cold in the fall he and
    his partners started a small catalog
    showroom that got him through until
    spring. This took off and has today grown
    into three showrooms of more than
    20,000 square feet, a staff of more than
    20 people, a 15,000 square­foot ware­
    house, semis and delivery trucks, rental
    properties, a hauling / moving business,
    and an increased product line that
    includes carpeting, bedding, warranties,
    and accessories.
    At the end of the lesson another
    student asked, “you used to work fourteen
    hour days on the street corners; now that
    you are successful how many hours to
    you work?”
    “Sixteen hour days,” Mr. Bielicki
    replied. “Being an entrepreneur is a
    lifestyle choice that doesn’t give you the
    luxury to turn off your business. You
    are
    the business.”
    Mr. Bielicki was brought in as a
    guest speaker to show the students that
    the American Dream is still alive and well
    and open to all of them. His visit was
    sponsored by the School­to­Work
    program.
    He is also the younger brother of
    Keshequa’s School­to­Work coordinator,
    Shawn Bielicki, who said he hoped “the
    students learned that hard work, dedica­
    tion, perseverance, and planning can
    make almost anything possible.”
    forget his beginnings of fourteen­
    hour days and especially the days
    that it rained. He said if the

    Signs of Courage is this Year’s Theme
    The student entry deadline is approaching for the National PTA Art’s Reflection
    contest. Entries are due on Friday, December 6.
    Student work can be entered in four categories (music, visual, photography, and/
    or literature) to illustrate what this year’s theme, “Signs of Courage,” means to them.
    Judging will be done by area professionals and experts in each discipline. All
    participating students, and their families, are invited to the December 19 reception
    and awards presentation, which will take place prior to the Elementary Winter
    Concert. Selected works will then be advanced to the Genesee Valley District
    competition, where they will be considered for advancement to the state and, possi­
    bly, national level.
    Details of entry requirements may be obtained from art
    teachers Michael Bucur, Julie Morrison, or Linda Strathearn. Last
    year’s Reflections Program national award winners can be viewed
    in the Parent Involvement area (Family Fun section) of the
    National PTA’s website at www.pta.org.

    Students interested in a healthcare
    career recently attended an open house
    sponsored by Genesee Community
    College. Information sessions on
    individual health career programs were
    offered at the event.
    Among the careers highlighted were
    nursing, alcohol and substance abuse
    studies, fitness and recreational sports
    management, occupational therapy
    assistant, physical therapy assistant, and
    respiratory therapist. Students were also
    treated to a tour of the college and
    facilities, including program labs.
    Refreshments were served.
    Student Jessica Doyle attended and
    reported, “I visited the nursing seminar.
    College students guided us on the tour
    around the nursing wing, cafeteria,
    bookstore, gym, and pool. They also
    showed us what they did. Some students
    were putting IV’s into a mannequin’s
    arm. In one room they showed us what it
    would be like to be an in­home nurse. A
    professor told us what credits we would
    graduate with and what actual experience
    we would end up with.”
    The morning student tour lasted
    several hours and ended with question and
    answer session.
    Shawn Bielicki, KCS’ School­to­
    Wo rk Coordinator, helped set students up
    for the tour. He met with prospects
    individually prior to sending them to
    GCC. He said “sometimes you have to
    sell the students on what is in their best
    interest, and make sure that the opportuni­
    ties are available and make it easy for the
    students to say yes.”
    Jessica Doyle stated, “At first, I
    didn’t want to go, because I thought the
    program would be only about regular
    hospital room nurses. I learned that my
    choice of nursing was available, which is
    called the preoperative cooperating room
    nurse.”
    “One thing I want to do is make sure
    students get exposure to programs before
    they make their choice,” said Mr.
    Bielicki. “GCC did a great job for these
    kids. I know because Jessica told me that
    if she decides to go there, she’ll get a
    great education and end up in the nursing
    job she wants. What more can you ask
    from a college tour?”
    two aspects of my job,” he said. “Some kids can’t leave school
    early and only have one study hall, so we use them right here.
    For example, business students can report to the school business
    office and answer phones, make copies, or sort paperwork.
    “It gives students experience and training in something that
    they can put on their resume. Obviously, we are selective in
    choosing the students that participate, but those that are given
    the opportunity really take advantage of it.”
    Student Jamie Fox works in the business office making
    copies, sorting packages, etc. She has proven herself a real asset
    by getting small jobs done in a timely fashion. KCS has been
    doing this kind of student office placement for several years.
    Students with an interest in elementary education have been
    placed in the Dalton Elementary School with a participating
    teacher. There they can help work with the kids or help the
    teacher with everyday tasks.
    “For the last few years, students have been placed in Dalton
    by Debra Beaumont and Tom Wiggins of the guidance depart­
    ment,” said Mr. Bielicki. “The elementary school teachers are
    wonderful in taking students and making the internship a
    valuable learning experience.”
    Senior Kristin Kramer is working an internship in Cathie
    Gehrig’s classroom. Kristin leaves the high school during her
    afternoon study halls to work in Dalton.
    KCS alumni who participated in this program have
    credited it as an enriching experience and as a great prep
    for higher education or training.
    In-School Internships
    KCS students don’t have to leave campus to get valuable work experience. Some
    get it as part of their everyday curriculum.
    Upperclassman, with schedules that include one or two study halls, are finding
    themselves busy this school year. KCS School­to Work Coordinator Shawn Bielicki has
    been placing interested students into internships located right inside the school.
    “Taking advantage of resources and getting students valuable work experience are

    AHERA Compliance
    Activities
    AHERA is a federal law enacted in
    1987 which requires all school districts to
    reinspect facilities for asbestos­containing
    building materials.
    Our facilities have been inspected and
    response actions are planned to ensure a
    continued safe environment for our
    students and employees. Activities include
    training of maintenance staff to prevent
    disturbance of asbestos and periodic
    reinspection and surveillance activities by
    trained personal.
    Details of such activities are described
    in the district’s AHERA Management Plan,
    which is available for your review in the
    district office.
    If you have any questions or concerns
    in this regard, feel free to contact Superin­
    tendent Neil A. Rochelle or Business
    Administrator Brian O’Connor.
    No matter what the subject, teachers
    still get inundated with one common
    student question, “when am I ever going
    to use this?” One way for teachers to
    answer this is by relating work­based
    activities to their classroom content.
    However, making this connection is
    sometimes easier said than done – and
    sometimes the connection isn’t made
    until much later in the curriculum.
    KCS has begun finding more
    immediate ways to reach students and
    answer the question. One is to
    prominantly display the answers. Over 40
    posters answering how education ties into
    the workplace have been provided by
    Genesee Livingston Orleans Wyoming
    County School­to­Work (GLOW STW)
    chapter.
    The posters are specific to course
    content and they explain how each
    activity can tie into a workplace activity.
    The poster series is called “Linking
    Earning to Learning” and were made
    available at no cost to the district.
    One example is tying English class
    to business needs. On a poster Liberty
    Pumps advises, “It will be difficult to
    achieve a high level of success in
    business without mastery of the standards
    in ELA.” Wyoming County Government
    adds, “Good communication skills are
    essential. Being able to comprehend the
    job and understand what you are reading
    is important.”
    Shawn Bielicki, KCS’ School­to­
    Wo rk Coordinator, has done numerous
    work­based activities with area employ­
    ers to help tie in education standards. Mr.
    Bielicki states, “answering the never­
    ending question of ‘When am I ever
    going to use this?’ is one of the key
    aspects of education. If we cannot make
    links of relevance with the real world, we
    will lose the kids.”
    “The standards themselves have no
    key ties, so it is our job to motivate
    students and keep them reaching for a
    goal,” he continued. “One way to do this
    is to make the connections real to them.
    These posters that are up put it in their
    face during class. Hopefully, the students
    immediately realize that what we are
    teaching is important and that it creates a
    sense of urgency in learning. Imagine
    what a child, who is focused, can do
    when he knows the importance of why he
    doing it.”
    The Linking Earning to Learning
    posters were generated by area school­to­
    work coordinators and local business
    professionals led by coordinator Betty
    Powers of GLOW STW.

    by Gary Collichio, Middle School Principal
    We are well into our academic year in the middle school, with many interesting developments. The newly
    elected Middle School Student Council is organized and already brainstorming ideas for this year’s activity
    schedule. The students voted into office by their peers are:
    Kari Buchinger and Adam Sullivan…Presidents
    Ashley Candie…Vice President
    Lorelei Kujat…Treasurer 8

    Stephanie Kreuzer…Treasurer 6

    The Middle School Student Council provides a vital communication conduit between the students and the school, which contrib­
    utes much to our social and academic community.
    Our KCS Middle School welcomes Mrs. Jacqueline Noble, our newly hired French teacher. Mrs. Noble
    brings a wealth of experience to our Foreign Language Department and hopes to provide our students with a
    unique look into the French culture. We have been fortunate to enlist the help of
    Mrs. Cassidy, a parent and community member, for substitute help in this hard to
    fill vacancy. She has been a positive influence on the program and developed an
    interest in furthering her own professional growth. She will spend time with our
    new teacher for additional support in this problem area.
    One of our first year teachers, Jamie Rivenburg, is involved in a unique project
    with her 6
    th
    grade classes. In their study of ancient life, they have constructed
    prehistoric tools and cave paintings (pictures included). Mrs. Rivenberg has
    brought excitement and significance to her standards based lesson with this
    original idea.
    Parents and Homework
    Many parents are surprised by the amount of homework their middle school student is assigned. Homework helps kids learn
    important lessons by reinforcing standards­based content they learn in school. But homework can be a hassle for parents. You may feel
    you are constantly nagging your child to do homework. You may not find out there is homework until it’s almost time for bed. Or you
    may wonder whether the time spent on homework is helping your child.
    To address these issues, I think it would be useful to explore
    WHY
    teachers assign homework.
    Homework boosts achievement. If a student is having trouble with a subject, time spent on homework can often make the
    difference between mastering a subject and just getting by.
    Homework builds self­discipline. It also aids the development of independence, personal responsibility and time­management
    skills.
    Homework helps teachers see which students need help, and where they need help.
    Homework helps parents know what is going on at school. If you check your child’s homework regularly, you’ll have a good
    idea of how well your child is learning.
    When your child doesn’t have time to do all the homework:
    Look at your kid’s after school schedule. Some students have schedules that are busier than a business executive’s. School is
    your child’s most important job. Dropping or rearranging an activity or two may give your child more time for homework.
    Make sure “study time” is spent on homework. Some kids waste a lot of homework time by daydreaming. Others develop
    distractions that continually decrease their homework time. Help your child identify these obstacles and suggest alternatives.
    Limit TV time. Most children spend more time watching television than they do on their homework.
    Set a regular homework time, with a schedule that works for student, parent, and family.
    Remember, as much as you would like to expedite the homework process, if parents help too much,
    teachers can’t see what a child is and isn’t learning. You may need to help your student get organized, or you
    may need to sit nearby to answer a few questions, but let your child do the work.
