School and Families Working Together for Student Success
Healthy Habits Help Children Be Prepared for MCT2 Assessments
Mississippi classroom teachers and their students have been working hard all year to prepare for the upcoming Mississippi Curriculum Test Second Edition (MCT2). During the test days in May, both schools and families can help students do well with some simple healthy
habits.
“We know that good nutrition, regular physical activity and plenty of sleep provide the foundation for student success in the classroom,” says Shane McNeill, Director, Office of Healthy Schools Mississippi Department of Education. In order to provide the healthiest possible environments for teaching and learning, our schools have been implementing important enhancements in school meals and physical education (PE) programs. Mississippi schools are becoming national leaders in nutrient-rich meals, healthy vending options, fitness assessments and innovative PE programs.”
Healthy home environments are equally important for student performance. During MCT2 testing, families play a vital role in helping children to be fit, healthy and ready to succeed. According to education experts, four simple habits can help students do their best at school,
especially during standardized assessments.
1. Every student needs a good night’s sleep in order to concentrate and learn at school. While sleep needs vary from child to child, experts agree that a minimum of 9 to 10 hours is best for most kids. Even though teenagers like to stay up late, their need for sleep is just as important as younger children.
2. As parents know, breakfast provides an all-important kick-start for the day. A nutrient-rich morning meal is the best way to fuel child’s brain for both learning and testing. Students can eat breakfast at home or at school. In either case, both carbohydrates for energy (whole grain
cereal, toast or fruit, like bananas) and some protein (yogurt, a cheese stick, eggs or lean meat) are important.
3. Fluids are also critical for brain function. Students need plenty of fluids to stay well-hydrated and on-task at school. Water and low-fat or non-fat milk are the best fluid choices for growing bodies. Children need three 8-oz. glasses of milk and three to five 8-oz. glasses of water.
4. Physical activity is not only good for physical health; it’s also good for academic performance and stress reduction as well. While students participate in physical activities at school, some after-school movement is also important, especially during MCT2 assessments. Any fun
activity fun is great. Families can take a neighborhood walk or bike ride - or shoot some hoops on a local court.Â
“Student success is a partnership between schools, families and the community,” Dr. Tom Burnham, State Superintendent of Education said. “We know that health is academic and that students do best when smart habits are reinforced at home and throughout the community.”
NAMS Students Visit New York City
Thirteen gifted students from New Albany Middle School visited New York City earlier this month. New Albany Middle School Principal Lisa Mitchell and gifted teachers Julie Eaton and Kate Swords, along with seven other adults, accompanied the students on the four-day trip. The group flew out of Memphis and Worldstrides provided them with their tour guide while in New York.
One portion of the tour included a ferry ride to Ellis Island to see the Statue of Liberty. President Lyndon Johnson declared Ellis Island part of the Statue of Liberty monument in 1965. The Ellis Island Immigration Museum stands as a constant reminder of our nation’s immigration history – the largest human migration in modern history. Between 1892 and 1954, 12-million immigrants were processed here. “Ellis Island was interesting because I got to learn all about my family in their research center,” said Reese Neely, a 7th grade student who participated in the trip.Â
Another stop for the students was the Empire State Building. Neely said, “The Empire State Building was cool because we went at dusk and the whole city was lit up! It was incredible!” Seventh grade student Logan Raines added, "I enjoyed seeing the top of the Empire State Building because looking over the city at night was beautiful. We were actually so high it was snowing when it was raining at ground level.”
The Empire State Building is the fourth tallest building in the world, standing 102 stories and 1,250-feet high, or 1,454-feet high at the top of the antenna on the roof. On a clear day, you can see over 50 miles from either observation deck on the 86th and 102nd floors and portions of four different states.Â
The students also visited The Today Show Plaza, the area outside the studio where the hosts talk with the audience. “We were able to speak with Ann Curry,” said Julie Eaton, the Gifted Art Teacher at NAMS who coordinated the trip. “She was very nice to our students and made suggestions about places to visit while in the area.”
The MET was also a stop on the tour that was especially meaningful to Eaton and her Artistically Gifted students. Eaton explained that art spanning more than 5,000 years of world culture can be found among the Met’s 3.3 million piece collection. The MET has 32 acres of floor space, is the largest art museum in the Western Hemisphere, and has about 5 million visitors each year.
“The trip was a great opportunity for our students to learn about art, music, history, and culture, “ Eaton said.  Other sites on the tour included: Chinatown, Little Italy, Rockefeller Center, Radio City Music Hall, NBC Studio, Times Square, Central Park, and Ground Zero. The group also attended the Broadway productions of The Lion King and Wicked.

Becky Thompson: New Albany School District Parent of the Year
Pictured above:Â Jackie Ford, Assistant Superintendent; Becky Thompson, New Albany Middle School/New Albany School District Parent of the Year; Bernice Bailey, New Albany School Board President.
The New Albany School District honored Becky Thompson as the 2010 New Albany School District Parent of the Year at the April 5th School Board Meeting.  Mrs. Thompson was nominated for this honor by the faculty and staff of New Albany Middle School.Â
Thompson has been involved as a parent volunteer since the New Albany Elementary School (NAES) opened in 2003. Her oldest daughter was in the first kindergarten class to attend school at the new facility. Thompson served on the first group of PTO officers and has served in various offices in the NAES PTO including President, Treasurer, Grade Representative, Book Fair Chairman, and Accelerated Reading Store Chairman.
In addition, Thompson has served as homeroom mother for her daughters’ classes for many years. She was instrumental in helping coordinate a water collection drive in 2005 to benefit the victims of Hurricane Katrina. NAES sent more than 1,600 bottles of water to the Mississippi Gulf Coast as a result of this school wide service project.
This school year Mrs. Thompson has begun the process of starting a PTO as New Albany Middle School (NAMS). The school has not had an organized parent group since the 1980s. Thompson is serving as President, a group of officers have been selected, and bylaws are being adopted for the group. Her hope is that the first meeting of the NAMS PTO will be held in conjunction with Open House in the fall of 2010.Â
NAMS Principal Lisa Mitchell has had the opportunity to work with Thompson at both NAES and NAMS. “Mrs. Thompson is always seeking to bring community and school closer together for the benefit of our students and works diligently to involve parents in the education process.”
“Knowing that NAMS had not had a parent organization in recent years and having an understanding of the need for more parental involvement at this difficult time in children’s lives, Mrs. Thompson contacted me and began working to build one for us,” Mitchell said. “We feel that her efforts have been a wonderful start in improving community involvement and communication at the middle school level.”
Â
“It has been an honor to work with our teachers and administrators to make the New Albany School District the number one school system in the state of Mississippi,” Thompson said. “I have enjoyed my years of volunteer service to our school. It is a honor to represent New Albany School District as Parent of the Year.”
Mrs. Thompson is married to Dr. Tim Thompson. They have two children: Mary Kate, a seventh grade student at NAMS and Grace, a fifth grade student at NAES
Gooch to Speak to New Albany Middle & High School Students, FCA Rally
Sheldon Gooch, a motivational speaker, will speak to students at New Albany Middle School (NAMS) and New Albany High School (NAHS) on April 21. Gooch will present “Stepping Up & Defying the Odds”, an autobiographical account of a young life caught in a rapid downward spiral, from self-destructive decisions and peer pressure, that gets turned around at the bottom, that overcame the odds, and is now, committed to making a difference with others.
He will be the featured speaker at the Fellowship of Christian Athletes Annual Spring Rally that evening at 6:30 p.m. at Memorial Gym on the campus of NAMS. NAHS FCA members will provide musical entertainment prior to Gooch’s presentation. Area church youth groups are invited to attend. Parents are encouraged to join their children in attending this important, and possibly, life-changing program.
Sheldon joined DREAM, Inc. in April 2009, and currently serves as project coordinator for the Hinds County Senior Transition Program. In this role he is responsible for building links between a cross section of business professions and graduating seniors in the Jackson Public and Hinds County School Districts.Â
DREAM, Inc (Developing Resources for Education in America) was founded in 1981 and is based in Jackson, Misssissippi. The mission of DREAM is to prevent youth substance abuse and promote healthy life styles through developing and providing effective products and services for schools, communities, and businesses.
For over 20 years, Sheldon has been a motivational speaker on every university campus in Mississippi and has also delivered presentations for Drug Free Schools programs in Mississippi. He has performed and spoken in over 700 churches in Mississippi. His most notable appearances include DATELINE NBC and the Oprah Winfrey Show.
“I am really excited about this speaker and I think that he will make an impact on our students,” said Tammie Reeder, School Health Services Coordinator and Project Director for the John D. Bower School Health Network Grant. “Sheldon will address good health choices and physical activity and how it not only improves our physical life, but also our emotional and mental well-being.”
Sponsors of the events are the New Albany Schools, the Carol M. White Physical Education Program SHAPE Up! Grant, the John D. Bower School Health Network Grant, and the NAHS Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
Sports Physical Screening Event Scheduled for May 6
School personnel from the New Albany and Union County School Districts are working with local physicians, physical and occupational therapists, and athletic trainers to make preparations for the upcoming pre-participation sports physical screening event to be held on May 6th. For the third consecutive year, the physicians of Creekmore Clinic will allow the use of their office for this event. However, Creekmore Clinic is not responsible for required follow-ups.
The Mississippi High School Activities Association (MHSAA) requires all students who will participate in any MHSAA sanctioned event to have a pre-participation physical assessment. This includes all students in grades 7-12 who will participate in any sport, including cheerleading, band, and chorus. This evaluation must take place every year in which a child participates in an activity.Â
Last year there was one major change to the physical evaluation process, which required students entering the 9th grade (current 8th graders) be seen by their personal physician for their evaluation in the physician’s office and not during the screening event.Â
“We feel that last year’s physical screening event was a success and we will continue with the same process this year,” stated Dr. Jason Dees.
School officials and health care professionals encourage all parents with a child entering the 9th grade for the 2010-2011 school year to call and schedule their child for a wellness exam with his or her personal physician as soon as possible. The school districts will make sure that appropriate forms are available in all physician offices.Â
All students who plan to participate in an MHSAA sanctioned activity will soon be receiving a copy of a personal medical history form that MUST be completed, signed, and returned to the child’s school prior to May 6th. Each school will determine when these forms are due. If a child does not have his or her form completed and signed by a parent, they will not be eligible to participate in the health-screening event.Â
School administrators appreciate the continued community support for extracurricular activities in the schools. “Students who participate in these activities generally perform better in the classroom, have fewer discipline issues, and are less likely to drop out of school,” according to Ken Basil, Superintendent of Union County Schools.Â
“Our schools are fortunate to be a part of a community where physicians, healthcare professionals, and so many others are willing to donate their time so that our students are eligible to participate in extracurricular activities” said Dr. Charles Garrett, Superintendent of New Albany Schools.Â
Any parent with questions about this year’s pre-participation screening should contact the child’s school.
