Fifth Grade Day At Choconut Valley

The Choconut Valley Elementary School fifth grade held a Conservation day June 8th. It was a beautiful day as the students were very attentive and the presenters did a great job with their environmental demonstrations.

Cathy Hynes and Yvonne Lord from the Master Gardener program explained how to start plants from seeds and transplant those plants to your garden. The Master Gardeners helped the students plant sunflowers into a cup. Students were allowed to take their new project home, to transplant with their family.

Jodi Anderson, from Susquehanna County Recycling Center, told the students that in one year, 1000 tons of garbage was recycled in Susquehanna County and didn’t end up in a landfill. Jodi also described the types of plastic that can and cannot be accepted at the recycling center. Different types of plastic products that are generated from recycled plastic were explained to the fifth grade. The students were then divided into two groups for a recycle relay race to test their knowledge of what they learned and put trash into recyclable and non recyclable containers.

District Forester, Jim Kessler did an excellent job explaining forest management by pointing out seedlings on the forest floor. He described why if one unproductive tree were cut it would allow the new seedlings to thrive. Jim invited the students to name all the products in their homes that derive from forest products and to imagine if all those products were gone how different life would be. Mr. Kessler ended his program by using a boring tool to drill a small hole, causing no damage to the tree and bringing a small core out to count the rings of the tree.

Sue Chance, Friends of Salt Springs, used an enviroscape, which is a three dimension landscape that illustrates residential, recreational, agricultural, industrial and transportation areas, all representing sources of pollution. Students used powdered drink throughout the model community to see how their actions and those of others affect our water quality.

Steve Fisher, Susquehanna County Conservation Watershed Specialist, was the hit of the hot day. Steve and the students walked the stream using a screen searching for aquatic life in our streams. Steve also explained to the students the importance of leaving our streams undisturbed so that stream life may prosper.

The SCCD encourages Susquehanna County schools to contact Roger Sherwood at 278-4600, ext. 285 if they would be interested in a Conservation Environmental Day.

Mt. View Student Polishing Career

It’s not often you see a woman working in an auto body shop. Burman Collision, in Gelatt has one they would like to keep. 17-year-old Rebecca Rose spent a good part of her junior year at Mountain View High School learning the automotive collision repair trade as a Northern Tier Industry Education Consortium Youth Apprentice and she says she absolutely loves the business.

Also a student at the Lackawanna County Career Technology Center, Becky worked at the company one day a week throughout the school year learning the trade from technician John Paone. With a duties list that included learning about painting, frame work, and detailing, Rose says she hopes to make a career of the business after graduation. When asked what she liked most about her training as an auto body technician, Rose answered, "Absolutely everything. I know what I learned will better my skills in any future work I do."

The daughter of Sherri L. St. Clair and Ronald Rose, Becky enjoys fishing and four-wheeling, and like most teenagers, likes to hang out with her friends.

Becky has made such an impression on the staff at Burman that they have added her to the company website. "Her enthusiasm and love of collision repair was evident from the moment she joined our team. She now has had the opportunity to put what she has learned into practical experience under the watchful eye of and guidance of one of the area’s leading technicians." Owner Ivan Burman predicts a very exciting and successful future for Becky.

Mt. View Enjoys 6th Grade Trip

The Mountain View Elementary sixth grade students enjoyed their annual trip to Baltimore Inner Harbor and Washington, DC on May 18–21.

The 91 students and 30 adult chaperones, under the direction of trip coordinator Bill Whitney and the sixth grade faculty, began by visiting the National Aquarium in Baltimore with its exciting dolphin show and educational aquatic exhibits. The group then proceeded to learn about life on a tall ship during the pre-civil war era with a hands-on tour of the USS Constellation.

During the next three days the group experienced many of our Nation's Capital sites including the Smithsonian Institution Museums, the Capitol Building and class picture with Congressman Don Sherwood, a visit to Mount Vernon with a boat ride on the historic Potomac River, and a tour of Arlington National Cemetery where the class presented a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns.

In addition the group was invited to attend the "Twilight Tattoo" military pageant, presented on the ellipse of the White House by the Army 3rd Infantry Old Guard of Fort Meyer. The military pageant was followed by a beautiful evening visit to the Lincoln Memorial, Viet Nam Memorial, Korean War Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, and FDR Memorial.

This year's trip was capped off with a view of the Washington area from atop the Washington Monument and a thrilling visit to the recently completed World War II Memorial. And, of course, any visit to Washington would be incomplete for young people without seeing the pandas and other animals at the National Zoo.

Once again the sixth grade students of the Mountain View School District have been provided with this exciting and valuable educational experience through the cooperation of the Board of Education, administration, community, and faculty, and have gained insight and memories that will serve them for years to come.
