Show i In response to interest of parents and teachers in early childhood education, the Weber School District is offering a series of educational activities highlighting the growth and development of children ages three to eight. This is the result of a needs assessment conducted by the district in the fall of 1977, in cooperation with the regional and local PTA groups, which revealed that parents wanted to know more about the principles of child growth and of development, the characteristics and expectations children at different age levels, and especially wanted to learn how to develop in their children the skills necessary for reading readiness and other early school experiences. The first of three identical sessions will be held Thursday, Nov. 1, at North Park Elementary School, from 7 to 9 p.m., lor parents and educators who live in the Roy High School attendance area. This will be repeated at North Ogden Elementary School on Wednesday, Nov. 7, 7 to 9 p.m., for those in the Weber High School attendance area, and at Uintah Elementary School, Nov. 15, 7 to9 p.m., for those who live in the Bonneville High School attendance area. These presentations are open to the public and parents, teachers, and other interested persons, are encouraged to attend. Those who miss the session in their own area are invited to attend other sessions of their choice. All will be conducted by Dr. J. Lloyd Eldridge, coordinator with the Utah State Board of Education, who has an extensive background in early childhood education and reading. He played a major role in the development of two recent State Department of Education publications: Early Childhood Education Resource Guide, and Principles and Guidelines for Early Childhood Education. The March 1979, issue of a State publication, The Leader, includes an article by Dr. Eldridge entitled Competency Based Graduation Requirements: Implications for the Elementary Christmas tree permits to be issued School. Dr. Eldridge will suggest practical ideas to help parents provide their children with experience to prepare them for success in their early school years.

The cutting site is approximately 80 miles drawing heritage celebrating 8-- southwest of Salt Lake City. Permits will be limited to one per household, according to Salt Lake District Manager Frank Snell. We would like to see as manv families as possible spend the day together cutting their Christmas tree, said the manager. Once the drawing is held, instructions and a map to the tree cutting site will be sent to the 600 recipients. Those who do not receive a permit will also be notified by mail, so other plans can be made. There will be a $1 charge at the cutting site for those who receive permits. In the past, the district has sold the permits on a basis. According to Mr. Snell, The demand is now too great for the limited number of trees, and the lottery will provide an equal and efficient way to handle the requests.

Lectures and discussions centered on the theme of Archives in the Attic will recognize the efforts of Utahs many fine archives and encourage the public to be more aware of the value of the important records which still remain in private hands. . Many Utahns have family photographs, diaries, and letters stored in their attics. These records are the written memory of Utah. The of Conference Archivists is Utahns during Intermountain urging Internation Archives Week to bring these family treasures to their local aron chives for advice By Dr. Daryl J. McCarty law says that public schools shall so arrange and present their instruction, guidance and plans for pupil and student thinking, discussion, decision and the activity as shall give special emphasis to dignity and necessity of honest labor Parents can help educators to do this, and I offer the following suggestions on the subject: Tell your sons and daughters that they should reconcile themselves to accomplish something they probably dont want to do. Once they reach this point, theyre ready to work. Second, persuade them to adopt the attitude that theyre going to do the job well. Should Drew feel good about mowing the lawn if he didnt sweep the clippings A Utah ... ... off the sidewalk? Help your child learn from the mistakes he or she make on the job. If half of Julies garden doesnt get irrigated because she didnt level the soil, ask how she will correct the problem. Provide opportunities for the children to work. If Dad is chopping firewood while young Larry is reading comic books, maybe somethings wrong. Work with your children in developing their attitudes about work. When they say theyd never work at something like bricklaying, tell them about how a sports hero washed dishes to earn his college tuition. Let them know theres dignity in all honest work. Tell them, as John Gardener said, the nation which honors its philosophers more than its plumbers will have leaky pipes and philosophy. Never brag about how soft I have it at work. That kind of statement may lead your children to the erroneous idea that the happiest work they can get is the easiest. Whatever you do, give your children the opportunity to see you demonstrate your belief in the dignity and appreciation for the necessity of honest labor.

The board reviewed the canvass of the Leeway Election, which showed only minor differences from the original results of the vote which was two to one against the leeway tax, stating the district was soundly thumped. Word order requests were presented to the hoard for various maintenance needs throughout the district. The maintenance budget had been reviewed several times and been cut to include only those priorities for safety, health or security. Of the budget for maintenance and operations, ninety-on- e per cent of the funds allocated are encumbered or spent. The budget was very austere and included only which means there is money earmarked for specific items, no money for the work orders, which are for items Dr. Burningham said, We cant afford to let a $2 million building go because of lack of money in the budget. Richard Thornley of the maintenance and operations reported that last year contingency funds for work orders exceeded $30 000 Gary Crompton pointed out that $1,300,000 was lost to the district because of the loss of the leeway vote. This will require the district to cut a million dollars out of next years budget to make it through next year, he said. Until reality Board Chairman Max Malan commented, now on well to From is hard the future picture. very strikes, just have to keep an eye on every buck. When we say to the school Shirley Carver remarked, board tighten your belts, we are they we are the public. The public has to tighten their belts. Superintendent Burningham replied, What youre trying to say is that in order to make it we'll have to cut some programs and services. One possibility is to cut transportation costs in the district. The state pays to transport children 1 1M2 miles to school.

The board voted to table the matter for two weeks while the school looked into alternative ways to finance the uniforms, including renting. Cliff LeFevre represented the band teachers in the district. He presented a proposed agreement which included negotiations and adjustment with the district. The board approved it, subject to short negotiations in early I960. Gary Cromton questioned why choral and band people expect to get paid $400 to $500 more than football or basketball coaches. Darrell Lund, band director at Bonneville High related the difficulty of motivating students to practice 4 hours a day, beginning at 6 in the morning. He said you have to twist their arms, feed them candy, and call their parents. They are not climbing the walls to join the band the way they are the football team. He also told of the hazards of having his life threatened (over early morning practices), having a car d drive through the band, and being chased by a person.
