Celebrate your counselor
National School Counseling Week will be observed from Mon., Feb. 7, through Fri., Feb. 11. This week is
an ideal time to recognize the unique contributions of school counselors and how counselors help students
be successful and plan for the future. Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer signed a proclamation to recognize
Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) counselors’ contributions to students’ lives. “School
counselors work with all students to remove barriers to learning by addressing students’ academic
concerns, personal/social skills, and career awareness in postsecondary options,” says Brian Law, 2010-11
president of the American School Counselor Association (ASCA). “Comprehensive school counseling
programs help to increase student achievement and provide a much-needed resource for students, parents,
teachers, and administrators. School counselors are integral to student success.”

Black History Month
The JCPS Office of Compliance and Investigations offers the following information. In 1926, Carter G.
Woodson, the son of former slaves, established Negro History Week to promote the teaching of African-
American history to blacks and whites. In 1976, 50 years after the first celebration, the first national
recognition of Black History Month occurred. By this time, the nation had recognized the importance of
African-American contributions to the American story. Since then, all American presidents have issued
Black History Month proclamations. During Black History Month, look for events in and around the
community that will celebrate the contributions of African Americans throughout the nation. Also consider
the many opportunities through literature and art that may provide an understanding of what the past
teaches us about our present and future as a nation of diverse cultures.

Writing project builds community
Seventh-grade students at Jefferson County Traditional
Middle School (JCTMS) spent months writing and
illustrating projects to attract the attention of a specific
audience.
Last week, the 140 JCTMS students met their writing
audience: students in P1 through P3 (grade two) at
Cochran Elementary. The middle school students visited
the school on Thurs., Feb. 3, and shared their original
children’s books that were laboriously crafted and
meticulously illustrated. Students read together, and the
older students enjoyed their roles as literary mentors.
Seventh-grade students at JCTMS wrote and illustrated
children’s books for students at Cochran Elementary.
The partnership between JCTMS and Cochran was a mutual benefit for both schools, and organizers hope
to continue the project next year.
“Hopefully, it will inspire some of the little ones to want to write,” says Donna Duvall, seventh-grade
language arts teacher. “They will see students who are 12, 13, 14 years old who have written a book.”
Duvall coordinated the project with the help of Sue Wagner, Youth Services Center (YSC) coordinator for
JCTMS and Cochran. This is Duvall’s first year at JCTMS to operate the literary partnership, but she did a
similar project when she taught at the former Southern Leadership Academy.
Duvall’s students wrote the stories before JCPS Winter Break. Students refreshed their memories of
children’s literature by reading dozens of books from Cochran and noting the length, themes, and tenor of
the books. Duvall’s students partnered with each other to brainstorm about their plots, and each student

wrote his or her own book and illustrated it. Children’s books typically serve
as a lesson in how to deal with an event or handle a new challenge.
“I told them that if they misspell words or make grammatical errors that the
younger students may notice that and point it out,” Duvall says.
Duvall also prepped her students with tips about serving as role models and
treating the younger students with respect. After sharing their stories, JCTMS
students enjoyed lunch at the Student Activities Center at UofL.
Duvall hopes to secure additional funds next year that would allow the
students to duplicate their books and leave a copy with the Cochran students.
The project contained some surprises. Other students who are not strong
writers enjoyed the challenge and demonstrated great motivation.
A handful of the 140 JCTMS books contain such strong plots, characters,
writing, and pacing that they are publishable, Duvall says.
“To them it was not work; it was fun,” Duvall says. “They thought they were playing the whole time.”
Kudos to staff members, volunteers,
and students at Jeffersontown
Elementary. The school hosted a
Veteran’s Day celebration in
November that honored men and
women in the United States military.
PTA parents drew the outline of the
flag on a large white sheet, and then
students wrote their first names in red
and blue ink to create a customized
flag. The school shipped the flag,
along with a substantial care package,
to soldiers in Afghanistan. A
Jeffersontown Elementary parent
directed the package, to a family
friend, who is retired from the U.S.
A detail of this student’s story is set at the
bus stop.

Navy but who is serving in Afghanistan along with his son. The care package included a variety of items
collected by third-grade students, such as nonperishable food items, toiletries, compact discs, toys, playing
cards, and portable electronics. The school also sent drawings and letters from the students.
Kudos to Sarah Bumpas, technology teacher at Cochrane Elementary. Using a gift card donated from
Walmart, Bumpas purchased a video camera. Her students have used the video camera to create
educational podcast videos that they published online at BrainPop, a Web site that features short,
educational videos. Students explored a variety of BrainPop’s offerings about Internet safety and then
decided to create educational videos of their own. Students developed topics based on subjects they studied
in science and social studies classes and information that did not already exist on BrainPop. Bumpas and
her students improvised by creating a green screen using poster board and using sets that they either drew
from scratch or downloaded from the Internet. Bumpas was impressed with the students’ sense of humor,
innovative nature, development of a script, and occasional improvisation while filming. To check out
CochranePop, click here.

Kudos to staff members and volunteers at Roosevelt-Perry Elementary. The school’s PTA hosted the
school’s first holiday book swap for students. Every student took home a book, which had been donated for
the initiative. Parents/Guardians, students, and teachers collaborated to ensure that each student would have
a new book to read over the holidays. PTA members and teacher volunteers gift-wrapped the books. The
PTA organized the books by grade level and delivered the books to the teachers’ classrooms in time for
students to take home before Winter Break. The students enjoyed having a new book to read.
Kudos to Kristine Larson, arts and humanities teacher at Young Elementary. Larson’s fourth-grade
student won Honorable Mention in the Intermediate Division of the Kentucky Derby Museum’s annual
exhibit, Horsing Around With Art: A Student’s View of the Sport of Kings. During February, the student,
