My report tonight, as always, recognizes various members of the Park City School community who have achieved or contributed in different ways to making this a great place to five and work. It can only represent a portion of the talent, tal-ent, hard work, and positive contributions contri-butions being made on a daily basis by our administrators, teachers, students, parents, staff, and community com-munity members. I would like to begin my report this evening by thanking The Park Record, particularly Madison Furrh, for his efforts to cover many of the accomplishments and events that occur in the school system. We truly appreciate the time and care that he and his colleagues give to providing ongoing recognition to students, teachers, and others. It gives me great pleasure to recognize rec-ognize Merry Haugen, principal at Jeremy Ranch Elementary School, who has been accepted as a fellow at the 1997 Harvard Principal's Institute. This institute will be held on campus in Boston this summer and is a sought-after and competitive competi-tive opportunity for principals from throughout the United States. We have been giving you reports on the work being done by the staff of Ecker Hill Middle School to prepare for the first year of operation. In particular I wanted to let you know and give public recognition to the great work the new staff did with the fifth-grade orientation for the first sixth-grade class at Ecker Hill and of the sensational sensa-tional job that the Treasure Mountain Middle School Jazz Band did in support of the orientation. orienta-tion. John McDonald, teacher at Treasure Mountain Middle School, told me a story that I thought you would like to hear. Shea Stickrod, a student in the sixth grade at Treasure Mountain, became a guest lecturer in John's eighth-grade eighth-grade classes this year. As a part of his unit on Civil Rights, Mr. McDonald tries to help his students gain a better understanding of disabled dis-abled individuals and the laws that protect their rights. This year. Shea gave guest lectures in five classes related to his real life experiences with the physical challenges he faces on a daily basis. He talked about school, hobbies, and his skiing ski-ing experiences, and then responded respond-ed to questions and answers from other students. I was impressed with both Shea's courage as a sixth-grader sixth-grader speaking to eighth-grade classes and with the positive learning learn-ing that John reported to me as a result of Shea's presentations. To quote John McDonald: "Shea Stickrod represents all that we as educators can hope for. He is an incredible student and deserves recognition for his efforts." I would like to thank John for sharing the story with me and congratulate Shea for doing an excellent job with his presentations. Congratulations to Tami Schwalbe, physical education teacher at Treasure Mountain Middle School and part of the new staff at Ecker Hill Middle School. Ms. Schwalbe has been selected as one of fifteen physical education teachers nationwide to develop new national physical education standards. In addition to this honor, Ms. Schwalbe has also been awarded award-ed a $10,000 grant from Rollerblade. Inc., for Ecker Hill, only one of the two schools in Utah and 250 schools nationwide to receive this grant. 'These funds will provide the school with a full array of in-line skate equipment to support sup-port the new physical education curriculum. You probably know that we have some more or less dedicated marathon runners on our staff, but we have one who is very dedicated and has accomplished one of the ultimate marathons. This is a belated belat-ed but well-deserved congratulations congratula-tions to Susan Shultz, one of our bus drivers, who qualified for, ran in, and completed the Boston Marathon this year.
