MPES wins architectural award According to Superintendent Don Fielder, McPolin Elementary School has been selected as a model architectural school by the National School Boards Association. Architect Gary Acord, who designed the building, also designed the school at Jeremy Ranch which is currently under construction. TMMS advisory group drawing mixed reactions by SUSAN VITTITOW Record staff writer Treasure Mountain Middle School Principal Mona Briggs presented a report on the school's advisory program to the Park City Board of Education at its meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 11. For twenty minutes out of every day, TMMS students meet in an advisory group. The time can be used to distribute non-academic non-academic materials, hold inclusive activities or just provide time for students to spend with each other and with their advisory teacher. The idea is to provide a small family atmosphere within the context of a larger school. According to Briggs, research shows that the advisory group concept is difficult to implement, but beneficial to students of that age group. All exemplary middle schools, she said, have an advisory program. Briggs has been seeing the same difficulties starting the program here as she did at Woodland Junior High in Fayetteville, Ark. where she worked previously. Treasure Mountain's teachers are doing an exceptional job, but many have mixed feelings, she said. Eighth grade language arts and history teacher Ginny Eggen chairs the Advisory Committee at TMMS. She reported that most teachers are supportive of the concept, but are dismayed at the amount of additional preparatory work it entails, without additional compensation. The time, she said, has become a good place to take care of business such as distributing policies and fundraising materials. Community of Caring activities have also been common. Eggen cited problems with the lack of in-service training and the surplus of students in each group. For example, her group has 26 students. An ideal number, she said, would be no more than 20. Teachers also felt it would be better to meet less often. Eggen said if the advisory group concept were put to a vote right now, the staff might not r 4 ttm C I t ' V " A. ,&k - mszmmJsszHS! f 1 Photo by Susan Vrttitow n a. tQrn Kindergarten students gathered on Tuesday for their first lOini dJl class in the elementary school ski program.

Since it is not graded, some of the students do not take it seriously. In her class, more students wanted advisory than not, although they liked it best when it was loosely structured. The students enjoyed planned activities, but did not want the class to be too directed. However, they also said they would rather have recess. Assistant Principal Carta Hunt explained that the advisory program was initiated to catch the kids who were "falling through the cracks" in the rapidly growing student body. She also hoped it would serve as a forum to deal with declining morality in adolescents and td bring in the Community of Caring. Although she said the ideal advisory group would only consist of ten to 12 students, she said the Community of Caring, which involves students, teachers and parents in service and interpersonal activities. Hunt said the Community of Caring has been very successful at the middle school. According to her, the Salt Lake City School District has been in contact with her for advice on how to begin a similar program.
