And it doesnt have to be on a construction crew. Simple work. Everyday work. current claim My to fame is that he wears a mens size 14 shoe. There should, by the way, be juvenile criminal penalties for any child who allows his feet to get that big. Im convinced he did it just to irritate me. And since I did not intend to waste another day driving all over town looking for new shoes for him only to find that most stores limit their stock to regular human sizes, I made his fingers do the walking through the phone book. He called specialty shops, found price ranges and wrote down the addresses we needed. He did it himself. In the grocery store Ill give my boys half my list. They compare prices, check the sugar content on breakfast cereals, weigh the bananas and estimate the cost. They do it themselves.

He didnt -- ol - -- look happy at the time, but he did it. And he got his car in just three days thanks to the weatherman. Its a wonderful feeling for a parent to be needed. But it's even more wonderful to know that your kids are learning to stand on their own two feet. Give them every work and opportunity to do real-lif- e earn their own way.

In a brief report to the board, North Sevier High School principal Larry Shumway introduced Marty Trapp, state wrestling champion in the class, who showed a tape of his winning match and told the board that participation in wrestling had helped him learn to set goals and work conscientiously toward meeting them. Principal Larry Shumway thanked the board for their support of the restructuring process at NSHS, and said progress report meetings were being held for local parents to discuss the adjustments that need to be made next year. Referring to Governor Mike Leavitts Centennial Schools proposal, Shumway said the key issue in making it work will be deciding what decisions a school board can legally move to a local school level. Shumways restructuring was made possible when the board gave the school community council more control over fiscal and personnel matters. In reporting on how money from the Educational Technology Initiative has been used at his school, Shumway showed the board the computer system that has broadened student research capability in the media center. Through a program called Magazine Article Summaries, (MAS), students have access to full texts of 100 magazines and sum 125-pou- mary information from 300 others. Through Social Issues Resource Series (SIRS) students can access periodical articles from thousands of journals carefully selected to be relevant to current social issues, from clear cut logging to nuclear energy.

Varied agenda for District School Board last week at NSHS Phil Johnson and Debbie Sorensen, of Richfield High reported to the board on efforts of the site based organizational tactic team to create a model that includes educators, parents and students and will open lines of communication, influence policy making, enhance morale, and improve what happens in classrooms, which is the bottom line of all school reform initiatives. The goal of these programs is to set up guiding pnnciples to help guide decisions about staff, scheduling, curriculum, and the allocation of funds. The schools will continue to work with the District. The board approved the Richfield model and complimented the teachers and committees for their efforts to involve parents, students during their restructuring process. In other business: Purchase of a school bus was approved; Funding was allocated from the state for a Driver Education car; Participation in the BYU Leadership Preparation Program was approved; Bid for removal of the old bus bam went to Sevier Valley Salvage, who is slating no charge, and would salvage and remove all materials, leaving the concrete in place. Lamb & Sons and Coleman Excavating have agreed to remove all concrete. Completion time has been increased to 45 days. The south end of the block where the old bus barn is located will be sold for residential building, and the north side will become additional parking space for Richfield High.

The highest is S2.64 in the Salt Lake District, and the lowest is 92 cents in the Beaver District. Supt. Brent Thorne discussed providing incentives such as lane change credit for teachers taking staff development classes offered by the district.
