Beautiful Sound

CN robotics students make prosthetic
for young musician

CUSD Today

A group of Clovis North students put their STEM knowledge to work to engineer and 3-D print a bow string holder for an Oraze Elementary fifth-grader who does not have a right hand.
Ty Rabena, who also plays football at Oraze, has a “can do” attitude. He didn’t hesitate to sign up for or-chestra this year and knew he wanted to play the bass, just like his big sister did. But the question was, how?
“
I feel so
blessed to have
“We’re never going to tell a student no who wants to learn something,” said Oraze Principal Robyn Snyder. She spoke with music teachers, researched prosthetic 3-D bows, then reached out to Clovis North High robotics and computer-science teacher Mary Allen.
“When I read her email and she asked if I had a 3-D printer and said [Ty] didn’t
have ... well I thought she	— TyRabena was going to say a bass ... I
knew we weren’t going to
print a bass. But when she said a right hand, my heart just sank. I knew between the computer science class I teach and our robotics team, we would have a good amount of kids who would want to try to model something that would help.”
And she did. Forty-six students volunteered to help with the project, assisting in design, measurements and adjustments to var-ious prototypes.
Late October, some of the Broncos came to visit Ty in his mu-sic class to present him with his prosthetic.A red brace that is strapped onto Ty’s arm allowed him to use his right arm to ma-neuver an attached bass bow. Deep sounds strummed from the large mahogany string instrument.
“I feel so blessed to have this happening to me,” Ty said, after trying it out.
Clovis North student designers said the bioengineered 3-D de-vice had to be sturdy enough to handle rigorous and pressured movement of the bow without slipping, while also being comfort-able and stable for Ty to play accurately.
“This is awesome to see,” said CN student Daniel Weng who, as an accomplished violinist himself, brought musical experience to the design team.“Orchestra is something I hold very dear to my heart,” he said.“It’s great seeing [Ty] who didn’t have the chance to play an instrument now having that chance.”
Robotics captain Paige Freeburg said her team loves to help others and promote STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) in the community.“This gave us a chance to make an im-pact,” she said after listening to Ty play.“It is just really heart-warming all the way around.”

CUSD bond measure to be on March 2020 ballot

CUSD Today

At a meeting Oct. 23, the Clovis Unified Governing Board voted unanimously to call for a $408 million facility bond election. The election will coincide with the March 2020 presidential primary election in California and seeks to receive voter approval to fund the district’s on-going facility needs and to build three new schools to keep pace with enrollment growth. “In Clovis Unified we have a long tradition of creating wel-coming learning environments for our students,” said Superintendent Eimear O’Farrell, Ed.D., during a public event to announce the bond
measure held Oct. 29. “That includes
schools and classrooms that are in good repair, up to date, and best-suited for today’s learning.” If approved by voters, the fa-cility bond would pay for needed repairs, maintenance and upgrades at all of the district’s schools. These would include continuing to fix leaking roofs, electrical wiring, fire safety doors and smoke alarms; updating aging science, engineer-ing and math classrooms; and
building new school facilities.
As has occurred with previous bond measures, a citizens oversight committee would be appointed to oversee spending of bond funds. “Local bond measures allow funds to remain in our community and cannot be redistributed by Sacramento,” Associate Superin-tendent ofAdministrative Services Michael Johnston pointed out during the Oct. 29 event. Local facility dollars can also position school districts to receive matching
money from the state.
“Having the ability to provide local matching dollars to qualify for state funds has allowed the district to leverage $751 million to complete $1.3 billion in facility projects over the past 33 years to benefit our students and local economy,” he said.
More information about the proposed bond measure and its impact on each school in the dis-trict is available online at www. cusd.com/2020bond.

Order in the court!
First-year Nelson Elementary teacher Emily Seabury held court in Room 15, complete with a black robe and powder white wig. Teaching her students about Hammurabi’s Laws that includes the structure of courts, the use of evidence and eyewitnesses, and the importance of jurors who evaluate testimony and evidence, Seabury set up her room to resemble a courtroom. Students watched the pro-ceedings and then wrote the verdict with reasons for their conclusion using evidence and statements.
“It was so exciting to see students listening and evaluating with a critical eye. They made excellent connections when evidence supported witness statements, and when it did not. Critical thinking is so important for all students to de-velop, and it’s a tough thing to do. This was fun, effective, and memorable for the students,” said Nelson Principal Kendra Matson.

Jaguars raise $750 for cancer research During October, the Clovis Elementary Jaguars added

pink to their traditional school colors of navy and gold as part of practicing the Positivity Project Mindset that “Other People Matter.” Pink is the symbol of support during October which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
The elementary school held multiple events to honor those affected by breast cancer, while giving students the opportunity to think of others. Custom-made t-shirts were sold with all proceeds going to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
During an all school rally, students got to show off their school spirit, compete in fun games and hear helpful hints from Student Council members like, “Be a good friend. When you ask how a friend is doing, really listen.”
Student Council President, Haley Scharnick, assisted in creating the statements that were shared and said, “It was fun to see everyone in pink even the kids from Gettysburg Elementary [the teams the school played in sports that week]. I felt proud to support people like my great-grand-mother who is a breast cancer survivor.”
The Clovis Elementary football team wore their new pink jerseys, which were designed by now-retired principal Isabel Facio, during their game against the Gettysburg Gen-erals.

classroom activities like parent teacher conferences, creative projects involving fall leaves, and lessons about America’s beginnings.
Come October and November, the hustle and bustle associated with starting a new school year has passed, and students have settled into the year. For educators, and I think for our students, it’s a cozy time of year marked by the comfort of familiarity and routine. That’s why I especially love being on our campuses at this time of year.
As I spend time in our class-rooms and on our school grounds, I am deeply proud of our educa-tional team, who I witness creating those welcoming, warm environ-ments so our students can excel. In and out of the classroom, I see where our employees know our students by name, and care about the little details of their lives, and I see how it inspires our students to be their best.
During October, we celebrated National School Meals Week, and I had the pleasure of joining our Campus Catering teams at Maple Creek and Weldon elementary schools to serve breakfast. It was a flurry of activity as we served hun-dreds of students in just a few min-utes, and I thought how easy it would be to become so caught up in getting food on plates that you lose sight of the students holding those plates.

INSPIRATIONS BY FOR AND FROM OUR CUSD STUDENTS

those which are on a waiting list for completion should our com-munity pass another bond measure for Clovis Unified in 2020.
At Pinedale, the warmth of school took on a different meaning, as I talked to staff about how greatly improved the heating and ventila-tion system at their school was thanks to bond projects completed over the past six years.
It’s amazing how a simple thing like keeping classrooms cool in summer and warm in fall and winter greatly impacts student learning, but it does. Keeping our schools in good repair and up to date not only sends a message to our students that their learning matters, it en-courages our students to feel the security and pride in their school that translates to better perform-ance.
For decades, Clovis Unified and our local community have worked together to create learning envi-ronments that support students and encourage their best work, and in March of 2020 our community will again be asked to cast a vote on a facility bond measure. This is a transparent process, and we have created an online resource for our community to learn facts about the bond measure that can be accessed from any of our district or school websites.
Three new schools over the next 10 years, and modernization projects at every school are on the project list, and I encourage you to learn more about this bond measure be-fore voting next March.
November is a great time to re-flect on that for which we are thank-ful. Our Clovis Unified team, our students and this wonderful com-munity of which we are a part sit at the top of my list.
My wish for you as we enter the holiday season is that you find op-portunities to enjoy the bite of crisp morning air, engage in comfortable routines, treasure the security of welcoming environments, and that your heart is warmed by these ex-periences just as mine has been.

How other parents deal with children’s use of digital devices

Editor’s note: “Screenagers – Growing Up in the Digital Age” and “Screenagers –Next Chapter” are documentaries created and directed by Delaney Ruston, a physician and film director. The films examine what it is to grow up in a tech-saturated time and how balance might be achieved between screen time and screen-free time. Clovis Unified has brought “Screenagers” and follow-up discussion to its high schools. Further insight from Dr. Ruston is offered occasionally in CUSD Today. Taken from her blog “Tech Talk Tuesdays,” the following highlights current trends and offers conversation starters for parents to have with their children. To sign up for “Tech Talk Tuesday,” visit www.screenagersmovie.com.

By Delaney Ruston, M.D. Screenagers moviemaker

Recently a group of eighth-graders was discussing how surprised they were to learn in the film that almost 40 percent of youth and teens with mobile devices in their room report that they wake up and check it at least once a night.
A new study from a survey of 12,000 teens in the U.K. who were asked about their social media use and sleep found that teens who use social media longer than three hours a day were more likely to report going to bed after 11 pm and waking up during the night, as well.
Now, as you read this, I am sure many of you have kids or teens with devices in their room during bedtime, and I am sure many of you have fought to change that and felt defeated. I hear things from care providers, such as:
“I go to bed before my teens, so there is no way for me to make sure they turn them in, so I have given up.”
“They sneak in screens, so why even try.”
“They have to do homework late into the night, so why even have a rule about this?”
Do any of those sound familiar? Today it is all about an-swers.
I believe in an ideal world (and hopefully in the future),

a system would be in place such that all tech that kids and teens use throughout the home, all of them, would auto-matically turn off at a particular time every school night. There would be no more asking our kids and teens, who are increasingly tired as the night goes on, to overcome the need/ urge/ desire to respond to people, check social media, play games, watch shows, scroll YouTube, etc. They would have finished any homework before the turn off time. Of course, in rare situations, they could request tech for a longer time.
I wanted to hear from those who read Tech Talk Tuesday what they do with their children’s devices at night. The fol-lowing are reader responses and ideas of how they keep these out of the rooms at bedtime.
■ We have a docking station in the living room where all the phones go. They stay docked until the morning. My boys are 11 and 14. – C.C.
■ All of it charges in my room at night. We use Bark monitoring. – E.F.
■ School laptop stays in the dining room (homework zone) charging, phone stays on the kitchen counter charging, Kindle can be in bedrooms because reading! – K. M.
■ We have a pretty strict no tech rule for kids’ bedrooms. Only thing allowed are Kindles and mini Google Home (that they use for music or alarms). Computers and laptops are in common areas. – R.H.
■ Electronics are not allowed in their rooms. Cellphone from my teen goes to charge at 6 p.m. and her laptop by 10:30 p.m. Chrome books are charged and inside school backpacks by 8 p.m. for my 9 and 11-year-old. – N.S.
■ Our 13-year-old's iPad charges overnight in our room starting at 10 p.m. – M. M.
■ All charged in the home office. No devices being charged in bedrooms. –G.A.
■ We set up a charging station in our kitchen. Our 14-year-old checks in her devices at 9 p.m. – S.C.
■ Mine are in high school. They use the alarms; no phone in the bedrooms. – M.M.
■ Our 13-year-old’s down time starts at 9 p.m. on weekdays (which has been a lifesaver). He charges his phone and iPad on a shelf right outside of his room, and while he

doesn't necessarily like it, he gets it, and having it close to him has made it easier. Admittedly, he is annoyed that we (his parents) aren't doing the same practice – we are going to reorganize our lives, so we'll do it too. – M.M.
■ Charging station in the kitchen at 9:30 on school nights (kiddo is a sophomore in high school) – if there's resistance, the next night it's 9 p.m. – A.M.
■ We just have Kindle's and Echo Dots (still young – 12 and 10) Echo's are programmed to stop playing at 8:30 p.m. and Kindles are on the family charger by 8:30 p.m. I check the Kindles a few times a week, too, to monitor videos, apps, etc. – T. F.
■ We use old fashioned alarm clocks to get up for school/work. – E. F.
■ At night, it's placed on the kitchen counter with the other phones (my husband and I leave them there as well). We have a service that monitors his activity, and he cannot even use the phone between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m. – E.F.
One question we get often is about how to navigate sit-uations where the kids listen to music, a meditation app, or podcast to fall asleep.
Here are a few thoughts on that question. I would first consider seeing if they might try a few nights without it. Things can shift, and they may not need it – which is great because the less reliant on a sound or other aid, the better. For example, if they go to camp or spend the night at friends and can't have music, this can cause anxious feelings. But if you want to allow music or audiobooks for them to fall asleep, consider running them off a device placed in another room but connected by Bluetooth.

Conversation starters
Here are a questions to discuss with your family:
■ What time do you think is a reasonable time to turn off all electronic devices?
■ What is the No. 1 reason you want your devices in your bedroom at night when you sleep?
■ Where would you suggest devices go at night if they are not in the bedroom?
■ When devices are in your bedroom at night, do you check them some time in the middle of the night?

College ﬁnancial aid applications due now

n Workshops offered to help complete FAFSA

By Carol Shanahan CUSD Counseling Center

High school seniors and their families may begin to complete the FAFSA (Free Ap-plication for Federal Student Aid) or California Dream Act Application in order to get fi-nancial help for college. This application is extremely im-portant, because it determines the amount of financial aid for which a student is eligible. The FAFSA is not just for low income students. It should be completed by all students who are planning to attend a community college for either a career certificate or transfer degree and by all students plan-ning to attend a four-year uni-
versity
There are many opportu-nities for any and all students who have completed the FAF-SA/California Dream Act Ap-plication. (The California Dream Act is used by students who do not have a Social Se-curity Number).
Even if you think you may not qualify based on your fam-ily income, the FAFSA helps students qualify for other kinds of scholarships and grants. Some financial aid programs require a FAFSA even though they award aid without regard to family income.
Students who plan to attend a community college and qual-ify for the Promise Program (2 years of college free), must also complete the FAFSA to be eligible.
For students who don’t want to get a college degree

but who are interested in be-coming certificated in a job-ready skill, community colleges have large numbers of pro-grams that can do just that. Completion of the FAFSA can help with the costs of these short-term training opportu-nities.
For students who are in-terested in a two-year, job-ready degree (nursing, radio-logic technology, fire academy, dental hygiene, drafting, au-tomotive technology, child de-velopment, to name a few), the FAFSA will also be a valu-able tool to defer the costs.
The FAFSA is also required to receive a Cal Grant.
The FAFSA automatically qualifies the student for low-interest and forgivable federal

student loans, which are the most attractive kind of student loans available.
Even affluent families can be “needy” when college costs $65,000/year. Some colleges, state agencies, and scholarship foundations require the FAF-SA/CDA to award scholarships and grants to middle and up-per middle-class students at-tending expensive schools. (The most generous private colleges, for example, award need-based aid to some stu-dents from families earning more than $200,000 per year).

Transition leadership conference attracts more than 350 students

Clovis Unified held the Fourth Annual Transition Leadership Conference in October for more than 350 students from all five com-prehensive high schools and Gateway High. The confer-ence provided students with the opportunity to hear from successful individuals who have overcome challenges, empowered students with leadership skills, and allowed students to meet other tran-sition leadership students.
“Our goal is to motivate students and help them to realize their own potential for success,” said Clovis West Transition	Coordinator Danny Munster.
The district’s Transition Program partners students facing challenges with a transition counselor whom they meet with regularly for input, help and accountabil-ity.
Munster said this year’s leadership conference theme – Inspiring Excellence – summed up what the CUSD Transition Program tries to do every day.“The goal is to support	student	success through     mentoring.     We know when trusted adults team up with students to in-spire excellence, everyone

Liberty principal only recipient in state to earn Bell Award

n National honor presented by U.S. Secretary of Education

By McKenna Gilman CUSD Today intern

Congratulations to our very own Liberty Principal, George Petersen, for being honored as a 2019 Terrel H. Bell Awardee for Out-standing School Leadership. Petersen will be the only recipient from California and one of just 10 from across the nation.
The award is given to principals who have transformed their schools with vision and collaborative leadership styles.According to the U.S. Department of Education, these principals prove that with effective leadership, skilled teaching and high expectations, all students can learn.
For 12 years, Petersen has encouraged and inspired his teachers and students through innovative techniques and successful strategies. As a once unmotivated student himself, he goes above and beyond to ensure that students feel cared about, supported and important.
“George pours his heart into each student that we serve,” said Tiffany Aoki-Chance, Liberty’s senior guidance instructional spe-cialist.“He treats each as an individual and always encourages each person to ‘be the best self you can be’.”
Petersen is not a typical principal and is rarely at his desk. From co-teaching lessons with teachers to greeting students as they walk into lunch, he is always on the move. He will often meet with newly registered families to welcome them and address any specific needs they may have.
Petersen is humble and attributes his success to Liberty Elementary’s “We Lead-ership.” He is quick to point out that his achievement and the success of the school is due to its more than 1,000 parents, 40-plus staff and more than 600 students.
“When they present the award to me, I will smile, not for George and not because I am in Washington, D.C. for the first time in my life, but I will smile for my Liberty family. I will receive it as a ‘We Leadership Award’, not as a ‘Me Leadership Award.’ Liberty’s success was built by a team, not a person. But I’m going to have fun.”
Q: What led you to a career in educa-tion?
A: From kindergarten to fifth grade, I was a horrible student. Throughout those years, my mom was informed that her son (me) was a violent kid with the reputation for fighting and was so low academically

A: When I was a young man, pondering my professional fate, I came across a passage in the Bible, Luke 9:46-48. To paraphrase, the disciples are sitting around talking about which one of them will be the greatest in heaven. In response to their question, Jesus calls a little kid over and says to his disciples, “Whoever welcomes this little child in my name” will be the greatest in heaven. Jesus uses a little kid, how a person values little kids, how a person treats them, he uses that to teach his disciples about God’s standard for greatness. Well, if that’s the standard, I have been given one of the greatest jobs in the world!
