Show 2A Lakeside Review, Wednesday, August 27, 1986 Mae Asm IHeimdleirsem celebrates CLEARFIELD This culture celebrates firsts. And Rae Ann Henderson celebrated a first on Monday. She taught her first day of school. The first day of her first year and, no e at Holt Eleless, teaching mentary. Starting with the first boy who walked through the door, Henderson greeted each student with a warm hello as she hid her terror and her cold TUT "V x , v t. ,, 4tV 5 an first-grad- ' 'ilY t Before school began that morning, she said she was scared to death. I feel I don't know anything even after four years of college. But her training and enthusiasm took over as students settled into their new year. , v : finr hands. After answering 1SK. questions about JV. lunch money, she started the class with the Pledge of Allegiance but only after a short discussion of which was the right hand to hold over the heart. J 'X. i - She then gave a tour of the classroom, showing the sink, closet hooks, reading area, her desk and a bulletin board that was all about me. On the board were photos of Henderson and headlines shouting she loved ice cream, green beans and teaching. With the class at her feet she said, I need your eyes and ears up here, as she told the story of her life. Then they went through the class rules that included treating each of the other students with kindness. When students became restless sitting at their desks, Henderson asked them if they had ever heard the WigOff in a corner of the gle Woggle. room, they played the tape and danced out their wiggles. Every first day includes a tour of the building. Stops were made at the drinking fountains, restrooms, play ground, portable classrooms east of the school, cafeteria and, of course, the principal's office. During the tour Henderson asked if the boys and girls were in straight lines. They weren't. A couple of ABC songs and a worksheet with the alphabet wound up the morning session. And the worksheets were revealing. I'm already seeing problems. Some of them don't know their ABCs and some are writing backwards, she said. The hardest thing is going to be to make it challenging enough for the bright kids and not so tough to lose the slow ones, she said. So, after lunch, the students practiced their names, finished a coloring project, and summarized the day. With the kids on their way home Henderson slipped off her shoes and sat down for the first time that day.

I ' 'ty S ' ' Story and photos by Robert Regan Vandals From page 1A In 1982 the school district experienced 104 burglaries, which amounted to an estimated loss in school property of $70,500, he said. In 1985 the district reported five burglaries, totaling $4,241 in property loss. Property loss damage from reported cases of vandalism has also decreased. In 1982 the district sustained more than $60,000 worth of property damage stemming from vandalism, compared to $32,000 worth of damage reported in 1985, Penrod said. During the last six months we have had eight school burglaries, 'with 16 people involved. All the people involved were apprehended by local law enforcement agencies, Penrod said. He referred to the multiple sensor security system as being error free. Penrod said the system also serves as a deterrent to juvenile crime. Just think how fewer kids are apprehended and have a police record, he said.
