On its way to its successful 2nd
year, the Warm Springs Elementary
summer academy went underway
June 5, 2000.
This year summer academy runs
from June 5-June 28. The main fo
cus for the summer academy is en
richment. The staff of Warm
Springs Elementary came to the
consensus that having the children
i during the summertime would boost
ri i academic achievement. They also
. . j . .i i ' i i .

A The summer academy curriculum
sfJJ f is different then it is in a regular
tt4,-", crhnnl vpar Fnrh oraH IpvpI c-

rooms. Here are the topics each grade
level is learning about:
1" Grade: Plants and rocks (it is
their duty to tend to the garden)
2nd Grade: Rainforest (a mock
rainforest is displayed in the WSE
hallway)
3,d and 4,h Grade: Specific coun
triescultures (Japan, Hawaii, Scot
land, Australia, Egypt, Mexico and
Jamaica)
The reading writing and math are
taught in different ways, coinciding
with each grades main topic.
A typical day at Summer Acad
emy starts with breakfast in the
Warm Springs Elementary Cafeteria
from 8-9, and then class begins at 9
am. The day ends at 3 pm.
There was on limit of the number
of kids enrolled, but certain restric
tions applied. The child must have
been enrolled at WSE during the
previous school year or spending
the summer on the reservation.
There are approximately 280 stu
dents k-4 enrolled this summer.
The classes are taught by the
same teachers that taught through
the regular school year which varies
with 3-4 from each grade level.
Principal Dawn Smith saw major
changes in students who were en
rolled in summer academy last year
throughout the school year. She said
in the fall the kids came back ready
to go, it was like they never left.
They didn't loose ground in read
ing, writing or behavior because
they dealt with the normal school
rules throughout the summer.
Smith accredits summer Acad
emy as one of the major reasons
that achievement scores are up this
year. She also praised the parents
of the students enrolled in Summer
Academy. She said she knows that
they could have been somewhere
else like the boys and girls club, but
their parents wanted them in Sum
mer Academy. She said, parent
support made a strong difference at
the improvement of the school this
year.
Teachers were invited to give it a try.

Use knife safety!
1 . Never put a knife near your face.
2. Keep knife pointed away from body.
3. Use a sawing motion for control.
4. Cut in your "cutting spot."
More Fun Ideas! Use parrots to decorate breakfast, lunch or
dinner plates. Make parrots out of different fruit: grapefruit, kiwi,
lemon, apple, pear, even a grape. Teach your family: you can show
them how, then share a snack together. Imagine families of birds and
make a fruit salad.

Never eat together as a family.
Never have family traditions which occur weekly,
monthly or annually that your children can look for
ward to.
Never listen to your children talk at them but not
with them.
Never let your children experience cold, fatigue, ad
venture, injury, risk, challenge, experimentation, fail
ure, frustration, discouragement, etc.
Convince your children of the danger of drugs while
you drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes.
Never give your children any spiritual training, but
emphasize the ritual of religion, the outward appear
ance, and the letter of the law.
When confronted with the choice of either spending
your time or money on a material pursuit or on a fam
ily activity, always choose the material object.
Continually tell others in front of the child, what
great things your "little boygirl is doing" and always
expect himher to win.
Show your children that you disregard the "minor"
laws of the land, or of your church because of
"expediency" or because "no one will know."
10. Never correct your children appropriately, but uphold
them before the law, school, church, and friends, "not
my little boygirl."
11. Undermine the role of the father in the home never
have the father's influence in the home stay together
for the sake of the children or better yet, get a di
vorce. 2. Go to the medicine Cabinet for relief continually.
3. Always pick up after himher never let himher take
any responsibility.
