From the principal’s desk… 

Dear Families… 

It is hard to believe that our school year is almost over. It has been a whirlwind year full of learning, 

growing and lots of fun! 

Congratulations to our state PTA Reflections Award of Merit winners. Logan Littell (film/video) and Emily 

Fichera (photography) were recently recognized at the April 27 th School Board meeting. 

Teacher Appreciation Week is May 3-7 and May 4 is designated as National Teacher Day. Our Tomoka 

teachers devote their time, energy and hearts to our students. Please take the time to thank your child’s 

teacher. The Tomoka teachers are Volusia County’s finest. 

National Nurse Appreciation Day is May 12. Stephanie Roddy, school nurse, is a knowledgeable and 

caring member of the Tomoka team. Nurse Roddy, we appreciate you. 

Planning for the 2010-2011 school year has begun. If you would like to provide input regarding next year’s 

teacher, you are welcome to submit a letter to me. In the letter, please describe the learning environment 

that is best for your child, as well as any other information that is relevant to your child’s educational needs 

or learning style. Do not submit a specific teacher’s name. If there is information that is pertinent 

regarding non-placement in a particular classroom or non-placement in a class with a particular student, let 

me know that specific information. You may also include social, behavioral and/or community issues that 

should be addressed. Please include your child’s name, the 2010-2011 grade level and your signature. 

Letters will be accepted through May 28, 2010. Remember, classes must be balanced regarding 

performance, race and gender. 

W.L. Mullens, the founding principal of Tomoka Elementary, passed away in February. W.L. was an 

exemplary educator, a visionary leader and a truly phenomenal gentleman. His dear family designated 

Tomoka Elementary as the recipient of the remembrance donations. Because of this kind gesture, we were 

able to purchase Elmo Document Cameras for our teachers. W.L.’s giving spirit and love of Tomoka lives 

on. 

Report Cards for students in grades K-5 will be mailed on June 18. The Parent Portal is open 24 hours a 

day, seven days a week, and is always a great way to access your child’s report card and other school 

information. Remember to “Get Connected with the Parent Portal”. 

Many thanks to the Tomoka PTA under the leadership of Nicole Gillespie. The Fall Festival and Health 

Fair were both tremendous successes. Membership is at an all time high and five state PTA awards were 

received. Many special projects were funded including technology, PE needs, tutoring, club sponsorships, 

student planners, postage for final report cards and a dining room aide. You and your parent organization 

are phenomenal! 

As our 2009-2010 school year comes to a close I want to thank the dynamic faculty and staff, the fabulous 

students and you, the wonderful parents, for a successful school year. It has been a pleasure to work with 

you and your child. On behalf of the Tomoka staff, thank you for another great year of support and success. 

Have a delightful summer. 

Best regards, 

Julie Johnson

Dear Parents, Volunteers, Teachers, Faculty, Staff, and Ms. Johnson, 

It is so hard to believe that the school year is coming to an end. “Time flies when you are 

having fun”, and it has been a fun and rewarding year. The children have gotten taller 

and smarter and as we say goodbye to our wonderful 5th Graders, we are welcoming 

new Kindergarteners for next year. 

As each year comes to an end, it is bitter sweet. Our children are a year older, but they 

are more mature. We have to say goodbye to the teachers that were responsible for 

filling their minds and hearts with a desire to learn, but they have fond memories of a 

wonderful school year. Our duties as volunteers come to an end, but there are always 

opportunities and needs to be filled. 

This year has been so rewarding for me as your PTA President. I was truly blessed with 

an amazing group of people who served along with me as your PTA Board. They are to 

be commended for all their hard work and dedication, because of them your PTA was 

able to provide programs and funding that helped to enrich learning and provide 

positive experiences for our children during their most informative years. It is also the 

support of our parents, our volunteers, our teachers, the faculty and staff, and our 

principal. All these things combined make for a wonderful school, which we can proud 

of in our community. 

As your soon to be Past President, I cannot express in words my appreciation for the 

opportunity that you provided me with this year. It has been an honor serving as your 

President with such a fine group of individuals that makes up our PTA Board. It has 

been a fun, full year, and although I am sad that my term must come to an end; I leave 

with so much more than when I began and for that I am truly thankful. 

On behalf of the Tomoka PTA and myself, I would like to thank you for all your support 

throughout the year. It is your commitment and dedication that enabled us to have 

another successful school year!!! It is our hope that you will continue to support our 

PTA, as we strive to advocate for the children and provide opportunities to enhance 

their learning experience. May you enjoy the remainder of the year and have a safe and 

wonderful summer. 

Fondly, 

Nicole Gillespie 

Tomoka PTA 

President

PTA News 

*Grandparents Day ~ April 9, Tomoka invited grandparents to come and visit 

with their grandchildren. The PTA provided coffee and breakfast and thanks to 

Tina Kuykendal our Hospitality Chair and our many volunteers it was a huge 

success. The chorus provided entertainment for our guests and under Mrs. Ray’s 

direction left quite an impression. The program was wonderful and very heartfelt 

as well as the kind words from our Principal Ms. Johnson and a few of our 

students. The grandparents then had the opportunity to visit their grandchild’s 

classroom. This is a memorable event for both the students and their grandparents. 

*Health Fair ~ “Be Brave and Be Healthy” was the theme this year and despite 

the rain everyone had a great time. Sheri Bowling was the coordinator and did a 

fabulous job lining up all of our participants. Thank you to Sheri for all her hard 

work. Also, thank you to Adam Lindquist, who coordinated the “Healthy Lifestyle” 

Media contest. Mayor Fred Costello was on hand to announce and congratulate our 

winners at the event. Congratulations to the winners and thank you to all those 

students who participated, as well as, our wonderful judges!!! It was a huge success 

thanks to our hard working volunteers and the many participants who came out to 

share information with our families and educate them on maintaining a healthy 

lifestyle. 

*Reflections ~Recently it was announced that two of our students’ Reflection 

entries went on to win at State. We are so proud of Logan Littel and Emily Fichera. 

This year’s them was “Beauty Is …”. Logan, who is a kindergartener, won for 

primary film. Emily who is a fifth grader, won for primary photography. 

Congratulations to the both of them. This is a wonderful program that the PTA 

sponsors to encourage children and teach them an appreciation of art and 

literature. Next year’s theme is “Together we can…” 

*Yearbooks ~ The 2009-2010 Yearbooks are available for $10 each. Please fill

CLASSROOM NEWS 

SENSATIONAL SECOND GRADERS… 

It is hard to believe that Our Sensational Second Graders are ready for third grade! We 

have learned so many exciting things this year. Learning about the Native Americans at the 

Pioneer Art Settlement and visiting with the manatees at Blue Spring State Park were 

among the highlights. 

We will culminate the year with Field Day on May 14 th and Dinosaur Day on June 4 th . We will 

need volunteers, so please mark your calendars. 

Our last units in math are measurement and fractions. Science lessons will include the 

dinosaur study and even a story in our reading book about how they travel. Florida will be 

the final topic of study for Social Studies. 

All of the second grade teachers request that our students practice reading a book, writing 

complete paragraphs, and complete math word problems and computation problems during 

the summer vacation. It would be a great idea to make a summer writing journal to share 

with your third grade teacher. Create some math word problems about the exciting events 

happening in your family, and best of all, read a book about something you don’t know 

anything about! 

We will miss our students, but know they all have bright futures ahead of them at Tomoka 

Elementary or wherever their education takes them. 

TERRIFIC THIRD GRADERS… 

Third graders have experienced a busy, fun-filled month. First, we all enjoyed a trip to the 

Peabody Center to see Charlotte’s Web. It was a standing room only show and the children 

were excited to be in a theater setting. Students were able to compare and contrast the 

different approaches to the story taken by the author in the original book, the two movies 

and the play. Next we’re off to the Sanford Zoo on May 5 th . This is a wonderful 

opportunity for the students to not only enjoy the beautiful zoo, but also do some hands on 

learning about reptiles, mammals and amphibians. Our classes celebrated earth day in a 

variety of ways and we hope those lessons carry over into daily life. 

We ask that you help your child remember that school is not yet over, even though the year 

is winding down. It’s important to stay focused and keep trying to do their best work. 

There is a lot left to learn this year!

*ART SMART 

Busy Artists… 

Miss. Kinsler wanted to congratulate the following classes for 

earning their 3-D marshmallow sculpture special project in her class 

for good behavior and excellent creative skills in their projects: 

Fitzgerald, Gill, Sherwin, Horn, Meredith, and Wyland. 

* Crimestopper Poster Contest: The theme this year was very 

positive: Make your World, Your School, a Better Place. Mrs. Sander 

sent in 3 entries from our school. Tomoka 4 th grade students Shelby 

Cox, Madison Reese and Nicole Sarro had their entries selected. 

Several other wonderful entries are on display in the office. 

*Twenty eight Tomoka students had their ARTwork 

digitally submitted to the Florida Art Association K-12 Digital 

Art Exhibition. This is the only state wide Art Exhibition held 

to support the visual arts. Students will receive a certificate 

stating their rating based on a 4-point rubric by the end of May. 

* Ten of our students have their work on display in the 

DeLand School Board facility through the month of May. 

*Fifth grade is gearing up for graduation and will be tie 

dyeing T-shirts in Art for their group party. 

* Art in the Atrium- Sixty of our students in grade K-5 will 

have their artwork on display in the Ormond Beach City Hall 

Atrium in May. The opening for the show will be on Friday April 

30 th from 4:30-5:30. This show is sponsored and hung by the 

Ormond Memorial Art Museum and Gardens.

Media Madness 

FOURTH ANNUAL BOOK SWAP 

During the week of May 24 th , FFEA students and the Media Center 

will host Tomoka’s Fourth Annual Book Swap. What a great 

opportunity for our students to share in the joy of reading! 

Here’s how it works: 

We are asking our students to clean off their book shelf at home and 

find a book that they are no longer reading. They can bring the book 

to school on “Swap Day” and will have the opportunity to trade that 

book for another book. (If you have several books that you would 

like to donate for the swap, we will gladly accept them. Please, know 

that the students will only be able to swap for one book). The Swap 

will take place in the media center during scheduled special area. 

Those classes that don’t have media for a special area will be 

scheduled in during the day. 

Any books remaining after the Swap will be donated to a local 

organization. 

Thanks so much for your continued support for children’s literacy! 

Happy Reading! 

Your bookworms, 

Michelle Hall, Media Specialist

PE Sports Page 

The PE department has been very busy this spring. Have you seen our spring cleaning and beautification of our 

PE area? Students from the art club and Mrs. Sherwin’s class helped paint murals for our equipment shed. 

On Earth Day, April 22 nd , we celebrated the earth by planting trees around our PE field. Coach Vollinger 

headed up this program. Each 5 th grade class planted a tree with Coach Vollinger. A big thank you goes to Chase and 

Abby Burnett’s dad for donating the trees to Tomoka Elementary. 

Our Tomoka students have been representing us very well in area fitness festivals, track meets and community 

5k races. It’s wonderful to see young athletes competing and enjoying being fit. Nikki Schedivy (a 2 nd grader in Ms. 

Music’s class) won her age division in the Daytona Beach Easter Beach run. Dennis Filipovski won 1 st place in the 

softball throw at the Hersey’s District Track and Field event. Steffan Mallory won 2 nd place in the softball throw. 

Steffan also went on to win 1 st place in the 100 meters, 200 meters, and 4x100 relay. They both qualify to compete in 

the State track meet this summer in Miami, FL. 

The Tomoka Mile Event was an exciting event the whole school came out to watch. We had more students 

qualify to be in the mile run this year than in the past 3 years. Our Tomoka students are getting stronger, faster and 

tough competition for area schools. 

Girls top three finishers were 1 st . Danielle Handel, 2 nd Jordan Diverniero, 3 rd Kiley Rogers 

Boys top three finishers were 1 st Kyle Broll, 2 nd , Brody Loynd 3 rd Dennis Filipovski

Tomoka student athletes won big at the Volusia County Fitness Festival. Tomoka students won many ribbons 

and were the team to beat at the event. The girls 4x100 relay had interference during one of the exchanges. But that did 

not stop them, they pulled ahead and won over all the competition. The girls time was even faster than any of the boys 

times. Way to go Moira Thorpe, A’Nisha Shavers, Calponia Martin, and Shaelynn Commette. 

All the official results have not come in, but we hope to hand out all the ribbons in May and the 5 th graders will 

receive their ribbons at the 5 th grade awards ceremony. Congratulations to all the students who qualified to be in the 

County Fitness Festival. You all represented Tomoka well.

“BE BRAVE, BE HEALTHY” HEALTH FAIR A SUCCESS! 

Despite sporadic rain drops nothing could hold back the local families for 

coming out to the Tomoka Elementary PTA “Be Brave, Be Healthy” Health 

Fair on April 13th. PTA President Nicole Gillespie and Principal Julie 

Johnson were both thrilled by the number of families that attended. Event 

organizer Sheri Bowling said “It is a good day when the school and 

community can come together and help educate and encourage good health! 

Hopefully it will become a Tomoka tradition that is carried on for many years!” 

A wide variety of health and safety booths from many local firms were 

present educating the community about various topics. Florida Hospital 

Memorial Medical Center was there with their Wellness on Wheels bus 

performing free blood pressure checks and body mass index screenings. Florida’s Blood 

Centers’ Big Red Bus was also in attendance receiving 15 units of much needed donated 

blood for the blood bank. Hawaiian Tropic was on hand giving away samples of sun screen 

and educate about the dangers of skin cancer while Parks Dermatology performed free skin 

cancer screenings. 

The Ormond Beach Fire Department gave tours of a large fire hose truck. Simultaneously, 

Volusia County Beach Patrol was out educating families about the dangers of rip currents and 

how to swim out of one if you were caught. The Florida Licensing On Wheels (FLOW) Bus 

was present issuing Florida Child Identification Cards to parents who brought in proper 

identification. They also did driver’s license renewals on site for adults. 

Dr. JoEllen Salce Rogers, Ph.D. led a great “Positive Parenting Workshop” with lots of 

practical tips and methods. 

Ormond Beach Mayor Fred Costello was on hand to present the ribbons to the winner from 

each grade level (K-5) in the “What Health Means To Me” media contest. 

An impromptu dance off competition occurred between the Chick-Fil-A Cow and Truman the 

Dragon! 

The kids did some spectacular rock wall climbing and bungee jumping complete with their free 

temporary tattoos. Many kids participated in a soccer kicks competition sponsored by Ormond 

Beach Soccer Club. 

Parents had the pleasure of receiving much appreciated complimentary 

massages from students at Daytona College and Okarski Chiropractics. 

Barr & Associates Physical Therapy gave free posture assessments. 

Larry’s Giant Subs, Papa Johns, and 

Sonic provided food and refreshments 

for the crowd. 

Thank you to all of the wonderful 

volunteers, staff, and faculty who helped 

to make this event a success!

THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR WONDERFUL SPONSORS & SUPPORTERS!

FROM THE DESK OF THE 

BOOKKEEPER 

It has come to my attention that some of our 

local banks in the area have a problem when 

checks are written in “red” ink. This makes 

them difficult to scan with electronic 

imaging. At this time I am requesting that 

parents and staff use only blue or black ink 

when writing checks made out to the school. 

The Federal Reserve Clearing process 

recommends only black or dark blue ink. 

Thank you for your help with this matter.

Business Advertisers Needed 

Dear Parents, 

It is time to begin planning for our 2010-2011 Student/Parent Orientation Folders. These folders 

include important information along with the school calendar and early release dates. 

These folders are prepared at no cost to the school, by BG Enterprises, a well-respected company 

that serves many schools in the Volusia County School District and has been servicing our school for 

over 20 years. This company will solicit advertisements from our local community to cover the 

printing costs. If you are involved in a business that would enjoy high advertisement visibility among 

families with school age children, please let me know, so that I may give your name to Ms. Diane 

Grathwohl, our ad representative. 

I do not want to overlook anyone who is interested in being represented in the 2010-2011 Orientation 

Folders, but ad space is limited, so please contact me soon. You may use the tear sheet on this 

letter to indicate your interest. 

Sincerely, 

Sandy Russell 

Assistant Principal 

(Return to Tomoka Elementary Office)

2010 Census – Everybody Counts! 

With the 2010 Census underway, the Florida House of Representatives has launched 

www.myfloridacensus.gov to make sure that every Floridian gets counted. Each Floridian not 

counted means between $900 and $3,000 a year in missed federal funds. These lost funds will 

have to be made-up by local taxes or less services. 

MyFloridaCensus is a simple online tool that allows anyone in Florida to tell the state whether 

or not they have been counted in the 2010 Census. With that information in hand, the Florida 

House of Representatives is able to work with other census partners to help analyze (and 

thereby minimize) which streets, neighborhoods and communities may go missed in the 2010 

Census. 

Here are the ways you can help: 

1. Go to www.myfloridacensus.gov and put in your address, then click on the button to that shows 

you have been counted by the census or not. This will put a point on the map to show where 

people have and have not been reached by the census. 

2. Post our www.myfloridacensus.gov link on your website or social network site. 

3. Go to our MyFloridaCensus Facebook page and become a friend and then ask your friends to 

join as well. 

This communication and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the

Under Florida law, our e-mail addresses and communications are public records. If you do not

request, do not send electronic mail to this system. Instead, contact this office by phone or in

El Censo 2010 – ¡Todos Cuentan! 

Con el Censo del 2010 en marcha, la Cámara de representantes de Florida ha lanzado 

www.myfloridacensus.gov con el fin de asegurar que cada persona en Florida sea contada. 

Cada persona de Florida que no sea contada significa la pérdida de entre $900 a $3,000 de 

fondos federales al año. La pérdida de estos fondos podría necesitar que sean recuperados por 

medio de los impuestos locales o la disminución de servicios. 

MyFloridaCensus es una herramienta sencilla en línea que permite a cualquier persona en 

Florida informarle al estado si ha sido o no contada en el Censo 2010. Con esta información en 

la mano, la Cámara de representantes de Florida puede trabajar con otros socios del censo 

para asistir en analizar (y de este modo reducir) las calles, los vecindarios y las comunidades 

que podrían ser omitidos del Censo 2010. 

Las siguientes son algunas formas que usted puede ayudar: 

1. Vaya a www.myfloridacensus.gov y ponga su dirección, entonces haga clic sobre el 

botón que muestra si ha sido o no contado. Esto pondrá un punto en el mapa para 

enseñar dónde las personas han sido o no contactadas por el Censo. 

2. Ponga nuestro enlace www.myfloridacensus.gov en su página web o sitio de red 

social. 

3. Vaya a nuestra página MyFloridaCensus en Facebook, hágase amigo y pídale a sus 

amigos que se unan a nosotros también.

Nutrition Note: Slow Down When You Eat 

While eating on the run is common for many of us, eating slowly may be better for your health and your enjoyment of food. Food involves more of your senses than 

just taste. If you eat quickly, you might short-change yourself on the full experience: the visual presentation of the food on your plate; the combination of smells and 

the anticipation of goodness to come. 

• Always eat from a plate. 

• Sit at a table. 

• Eat only when you’re hungry. 

• Enjoy what you eat. 

When you eat more slowly, you can better sense when you are full and stop before you overeat. Produced by ADA’s Public Relations Team 

“Parents can pre-pay by credit or debit cards for student meals and ala carte. Please visit myLunchMoney.com to see if your child’s school is participating.”

Nutrition Note: When Shopping, Know Your Nutrients 



Food manufacturers are adopting labeling and rating systems they say will make it easier to shop for foods that are good for you. 

These labeling systems use stars, checks, lights or flags. Still, much of the most useful information for making healthy food choices is found on the food’s Nutrition 

Facts Panel. 

Look for nutrient-rich foods that provide variety and a large percentage of vitamins and minerals, especially compared to the calorie count. 

Visit the Nutrition Facts Panel section for more information on reading food labels at your grocery store.
