Holiday Gift Boxes for Needy Children<br />
This year, <strong>Cal</strong> <strong>Young</strong>’s woodworking, art, and leadership<br />
classes will again collaborate to create holiday gift<br />
boxes for needy children. Small wooden boxes are<br />
being made in Mr. Bliss’ woodworking classes, which<br />
students in Ms. Harpole’s art classes and Mr. Schiff’s<br />
leadership class will decorate and fill with trinkets and<br />
treasures donated by CY students. These “Blissful<br />
Boxes” will then be included in the food boxes provided<br />
by the CY community for needy families in our<br />
area. Thank you for supporting your students’ participation<br />
in this CYMS community service project.<br />

No Name <strong>Cal</strong>ling!!<br />
This is an issue we take seriously at <strong>Cal</strong> <strong>Young</strong>, where part<br />
of our motto is Respect All. In October, Homeroom<br />
classes did a lesson on this important issue, learning<br />
about things like bullies, bystanders, and allies. Each<br />
class then created and filmed a skit showing how<br />
students might deal with name calling if they witness<br />
it. This video footage is now being edited by <strong>Cal</strong> <strong>Young</strong><br />
students, and the plan is to show the skits as part of<br />
the morning announcements during National No-<br />
Name-<strong>Cal</strong>ling Week at the end of January.<br />
Way to STEP UP, <strong>Cal</strong> <strong>Young</strong>!
CAL YOUNG MIDDLE SCHOOL DECEMBER 2008<br />
From the Assistant Principal<br />
Hello from Brian Beard,<br />
I am currently filling in for Sara Cramer who is away on family leave. We look forward<br />
to her return as school starts up after the winter break.<br />
Geography Awareness Week just ended with a lot of new geographical information,<br />
guest speakers, and a fun homeroom challenge. This year’s homeroom winners were<br />
Ms. Ketsche’s and Ms. Hohenemser’s classes. We focused on the countries of North,<br />
Central, and South America. Homerooms competed to see who could use the other<br />
homerooms’ clues to guess their countries. Students will be competing at the end of<br />
December in our annual Geography Bee. I would like to thank Ms. Terri Simons for all the<br />
work and effort she put into making Geography Week such a success.<br />
Currently, we are gearing up for our annual Food Box project. Each year at <strong>Cal</strong> <strong>Young</strong>, students and staff<br />
work together in homerooms to develop several menu plans along with the food to complete each menu.<br />
The food and other needed items are collected in homeroom. The items are placed in decorated boxes for<br />
needy families in the Bethel area and some of our own <strong>Cal</strong> <strong>Young</strong> families. Just prior to our Winter Break,<br />
the boxes are delivered to the families. We held our first Activity Night this year and students brought in<br />
food for the boxes. That night we collected more than 200 lbs. of food. If you would like to provide a gift<br />
or item for the food boxes, please talk to your students. They will know the number and ages of those in<br />
the family their homeroom is supporting.<br />
OAKS (Oregon Assessment of Knowledge and Skills) will be an ongoing activity at <strong>Cal</strong> <strong>Young</strong> in the<br />
coming months. These test results are one way of indicating student progress and help us to place students<br />
in classes in the upcoming school year. Please ensure students get plenty of rest each night. Even with a<br />
later school starting time, some students arrive quite late and miss valuable instruction. We all appreciate<br />
your continued support with all attendance concerns.<br />
I would like to welcome Ms. Leslie Maahs as our newest staff member. Leslie, as many of you might<br />
know, has been a friendly face around here for many years. I’m are excited to have her here and the energy<br />
and talents she brings. She will be filling in for Ms. Hillary McClintick, who, by the way, just had a baby.<br />
Congratulations to Hillary and Ryan and their new baby girl.<br />
I speak on behalf of all the <strong>Cal</strong> <strong>Young</strong> staff extending a heartfelt thank you for allowing us to be a part of<br />
your children’s lives while here at school. We send our warmest regards for a wonderful holiday season for<br />
all of our <strong>Cal</strong> <strong>Young</strong> families. See you at school!<br />
Have a safe and happy holiday season,<br />
Brian Beard<br />

From the Library – The Reading Thing<br />
Many thanks for making the Book Fair Safari a success!<br />
This year’s Scholastic Book Fair Safari was a great success on many levels. Over $4,000 worth<br />
of books were sold, and $500 was donated to students to purchase books through the Book Fair’s<br />
scholarship program. The “One for Books” program earned a total of $88, money that is donated to<br />
Toys for Tots and KIDS (Kids in Distress Situations). Congratulations to the 7 th grade who came<br />
in first with donations.<br />
The proceeds of the Book Fair support essential library services, including the purchase of books<br />
and funding an author visit. The Book Fair cannot happen without the help of volunteers. I want to extend a huge thank you<br />
to Kathy <strong>Young</strong> and Missy Lathon for coordinating this year’s Fair. They are a dynamic team! They were joined by Susan Kelly,<br />
Terri, and a number of student helpers. Many thanks to you all! If you are interested in being part of a committee to run next<br />
year’s book fair, contact Sam at 687.5459 or arnold@4j.lane.edu.<br />
Many thanks to Kathy <strong>Young</strong> and Missy Lathon! Students browsing at the Book Fair<br />
Two of<br />
Rick Riordan’s<br />
suggestions<br />
Winter reading suggestions<br />
Two popular series at <strong>Cal</strong> <strong>Young</strong> are The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan and Twilight by Stephenie Meyer.<br />
If you’ve heard your student mention these books, you might be interested in some of the books on one<br />
of these two lists. The first list is Rick Riordan’s recommendations, which are available in the <strong>Cal</strong> <strong>Young</strong><br />
library:<br />
http://www.rickriordan.com/index.php/books-for-children/recommendations/<br />
Next month, I will publish the second list, After Twilight, for students who like<br />
the series by Stephenie Meyer. This list is currently available in the library, thanks<br />
to Vanessa, one of our Library Assistants.<br />

Tdap booster shot REQUIRED for 7 th graders<br />
By February 18, 2009, all 7 th graders will be required to have documentation of this shot.<br />
Courtesy notices were mailed in November, if we do not already have the date on file. The<br />
Health Department will issue Exclusion orders in February.<br />
We do need written verification of booster shots in order to update the required Oregon<br />
Certificate of Immunization Status in the school health records. If you received a courtesy notice, please return it as soon as<br />
you can, signed and dated.<br />
This vaccine contains protection against pertussis, or whooping cough. Pertussis is a disease that can be transmitted by<br />
adolescents and adults to babies and can cause severe illness, even death. The vaccine protection that Kindergartners have<br />
against pertussis generally provides little, if any, protection by the time a child is in 7 th grade. Doctors have already been<br />
recommending this booster shot for several years<br />
This vaccine is also available for adults as the next tetanus booster is due, so ask your health care provider for more<br />
information!<br />
