Holiday Food Baskets 

11/21/2007

‘Tis the season of giving and students at Remington Elementary School take it seriously. The school’s Student Council has started a collection for holiday food baskets. Started November 19, the effort runs through December 2.

Every class is participating by bringing non-perishable food items for the baskets, with the goal of filling at least 15. The baskets will then be given to the Salvation Army, which will distribute them to area needy families. The project is the brainchild of Clara Southerland, multi-age teacher for third, fourth and fifth graders.

 

Middle School Soccer

Do you know a future David Beckham? How about Brandi Chastain?

If there’s a budding soccer star in your family, you might want to check into the Tulsa Soccer Club (those folks you always see on the weekends playing on Riverside Drive). They're getting together with parents from the Tulsa area to talk about forming soccer leagues in middle schools. The meeting takes place at the Nimitz Middle School soccer field at 3111 E. 51st St.

Art Ambassadors on the Move 

4/9/2008

Beth Howard, art teacher at Mark Twain Elementary and mentor of the Art Ambassadors, continues to blaze a trail of creativity. Her workshop proposal has been picked for next year’s 19th Annual National Service-Learning Conference, Youth for a Change.

The conference is billed as the largest gathering of youths and practitioners involved in the service-learning movement. The 2007 conference drew attendees from across the United States and 19 other countries. The event provides access to new ideas and networking opportunities, with more than 200 workshops and countless opportunities for informal meetings.

The conference runs from April 9-12 in Minneapolis. Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa and urban educator Pedro Noguera are delivering the keynote addresses.

Howard is used to awards. In 2006 she was named the Oklahoma Elementary Art Teacher of the Year. She mentors the Art Ambassadors, an organization of students attempting to bridge the gap between school and community with art that beautifies and teaches us all to give back.
