The basic principal behind setting up a School Site Council at Warm Springs Elementary is that those people who are affected by the school should have a major role in decisions about how the school works. This involvement happens through the development of a school improvement plan, including a bud get which is supportive of the plan. Once the plan is implemented, there is an on-going assessment of how the plan is improving student achieve ment so that it can be updated and modified each year. The bottom line is student achievement. If you are interested in learning more, another meeting is scheduled for Monday, November 30, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in the Warm Springs Library.

This was in response to a "no marbles" rule be gun three weeks ago because of stu dents' unsafe behavior with marbles. Students' ideas and those of par ents gathered on conference day re sulted in what will, hopefully, be a way that our students can enjoy this play and, at the same time, be safe. Guidelines include the following. Marbles must come to school in a bag that closes with the student's name on it. Students may only bring marbles to school on Mondays and must be left at school until the school yepr ends. The only time students should, bring marbles is when they lose all of their marbles during the week. They must still wait until the fol lowing Monday to bring more. Students should only bring some II -I -In illlHIHM 3 Students learn beer, wine harmful to Students of Lori Nelson, Seventh grade teacher at Nichols Jr. High A PREGNANT WOMAN NEVER DRINKS ALONE v high school students, "Don't give Larry Spino who is just over a month old, along with (wo sisters, Shelly Greene-Boise age 6, and Leanna Boise age 1 .

Summary of P.L. 81-874 Applica tion for FY 92 Jefferson County School District 509-J plans to submit its 1993 appli cation for Federal Impact Aid Funds under Title I of Public Law 81-874, due by January 31, 1993. Funds re ceived under this program are in lieu of local property taxes that would be received if the property was not ex empted by the Federal Government. These funds are included in the District's general fund budget and are used for regular operating pur poses. The law does not designate any specific expenditures from the entitlement, however, some restric tions are placed on funds generated by handicapped student enrollment. Last year's FY 92 application (summarized below) was based on educational services that were pro vided for students in six categories, and qualified the District for an en titlement in excess of two million dollars, for operating purposes dur ing the 1992-93 school year. unborn child their fellow students and adults to ward alcohol. First, the students took a true false test themselves to see how much they knew about the effects of alco hol ingested by a pregnant woman. Most of the students knew most of the correct answers. One of the most common mistakes that students made, however, was thinking that a baby is safe from the effects of alcohol before the mother "shows." The students then took an attitude poll. Twenty-five percent showed high-risk attitude, twenty-five per cent had medium-risk attitudes, and fifty percent had low-risk responses. Next, the students polled 10 stu dents and 10 adults each. Of the 22 students, 17 reported significant re sults. Seventy percent of the adults answered each question correctly. A question that both teens and adults often missed dealt with the type of alcoholic beverage consumed. The question read: "Only hard liquor will hurt the baby. Beer and wine are OK, especially when used in mod erate amounts." The statement is false. Students learned that the amount of alcohol the mother drinks determines her risk, not the type of drink. This class activity was part of a project. Preventing Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, sponsored by the Asso ciation for Retarded Citizens of the United States.
