Christina
School District staff, Board, community members, and
elected officials had the opportunity recently to
tour the District’s new
elementary school being constructed on Porter Road

building is a construction site and is not expected
to be fully completed until late spring. The
school is scheduled to open in August, 2009.
The tour included a walk-through of classrooms,
offices, and hallways, as well as the school
library,
cafeteria,
gymnasium, art and music rooms, and other areas of
the school. The
 District announced last month that
it has named Richelle Talbert to serve as principal
of the new school. She has most recently

Marshall Elementary's Poet in Residence Program
Featured in News Journal |
|
|
Fifth graders at
Marshall Elementary participated in a unique
program recently, which was highlighted in an
article in the Wilmington News Journal on
December 27. JoAnn Balingit of Newark, who
was appointed the state’s poet laureate in May,
was the featured artist in an Artist Residency
Program, which has been offered since 1985 by
the Delaware Division of the Arts.
Balingit made 10 visits to the school, helping
students explore poetry and self-expression.
Sheila Dean Ross, program manager for arts and
education with the Delaware Division of the
Arts, said the residency program is designed as
a supplement for the classroom.
“Sometimes,
artists will add a different perspective to
what’s already being taught at the school,” she
said. “We provide about 75 percent of the
funding for the artist, and the school makes up
the balance.” Balingit is the state’s 16th
poet laureate. Click

West Park Students Experience Hong Kong
Education |
|
|
| West Park Elementary teamed up with
the University of Delaware to give Hong Kong
Education students a real life experience with
education in the United States. Hong Kong
students were invited to observe, learn, and
experience West Park classrooms every Wednesday for
5 weeks. They had many wonderful interactions
with students and teachers. Reciprocal
learning took place and we sincerely missed them
when they had to leave to move on to their next
internship. The third grade team worked on
celebrating cultures in reading class. Mrs.
Laws invited her intern Chris Chan to give a first
hand lesson on life in China to her third grade
class. Mrs. Laws worked with Chan to help her
create a lesson that would help students understand
the culture of China from a native perspective.
Chan did a great job executing the lesson using
technology and facts about her home. |

Brader First Graders Get Moving |
|
 |
First
grade students at Brader Elementary
School in Newark get a little movement
in during a mid-morning break.
Teachers at Brader are encouraged by
physical education teacher Mary Beth
French to get children up and moving in
the classroom, even if it's just for a
few minutes at a time, throughout the
school day. With the emphasis on
academic performance, teachers have many
demands on their classroom time.
But studies suggests that brief
interludes of physical activity may
give students energy and improve focus.
Brader is one
of 19 schools participating in a pilot
project to ensure that students get 150
minutes of physical activity per week (30
minutes per day) while at school.
Nemours Health and Prevention Services and
the Delaware Department of Education are
studying the impact of 150 minutes of
physical activity per week on the fitness
tests given in Delaware public schools,
known as the FITNESSGRAM®.
Results will be released later this Spring.

Fruits and Veggies Take the Spotlight... |
|
|
|
Students
at Bancroft, Brookside, Elbert Palmer and
Stubbs schools have been enjoying fresh
produce in accordance with the new USDA
Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program since
October 2008.
 Did
you know that eating 5 servings of fruits
and vegetables per day can promote a
healthier lifestyle?
That is why schools are is participating in
a new program called Fresh Fruit & Vegetable
Program (FFVP) supported by the United
States Department of Agriculture. The FFVP
allows Child Nutrition to serve all our
students a free mid morning or mid day snack
of fruits and vegetables.
Fruits and vegetables are good low calorie,
low-fat sources of vitamins,
minerals, and fiber.
The FFVP shows children that fresh fruits
and vegetables are healthy and tasty
alternatives to snacks high in fat, sugar,
or salt.
Tips for including 5 a day in your diet at
home
… Serve at least one fruit or vegetable at every meal
and snack. Try all the different
colors. 
… Dip veggies in low fat dressing. Tuck them in whole
grain pitas or
sandwiches. Toss some on your pizza.
…Try and try again. It may take children several
tastings (10 or
more) before they begin to enjoy
certain foods.
Please be
our health partner at school and home.
Let’s make our children the healthiest they
can be!

|
A team of 5th graders from Wilson Elementary

Challenge in the 5th Grade category on January
17. The Charter Challenge is an all-day
tournament style competition hosted by
Wilmington Charter School, and is open to all
school teams wishing to participate. Christina
School District was represented by a total of 20
teams in the 5th Grade and 8th Grade categories
from Brookside, Keene, Leasure, Maclary, McVey,
West Park Place, and Wilson Elementary Schools
and Shue-Medill Middle School. The Wilson team
went up against other schools in seven different
rounds. They lost the first round, won the
second, tied in the third and then won the final
rounds. Wilson’s semi and final rounds were
against teams from Newark Charter School.
Each round of the competition consisted of four
quarters. The first and third quarters
consisted of ten questions on a particular theme
answered only by one school. Questions must be
answered in 90 seconds. Second and Fourth
quarters consisted of twenty questions each that
were given to both of the competing teams using
a buzzer system. Questions spanned many
subjects, including science, mathematics,
literature, history, geography, vocabulary,

National School Boards Association Recognizes
Christina School District and
Nemours Health and
Prevention Services |
| |
|
The National School Boards Association (NSBA)
and the American Hospital Association (AHA)
are pleased to inform the Christina School
District that the partnership between
Christina School District and Nemours Health
and Prevention Services has been selected
for inclusion in a joint NSBA/AHA “lessons
learned” publication focusing on school
district-hospital partnerships that address
childhood obesity (tentative publication
date: Spring
2009). While NSBA will only be able to
publish full features for three sites, they
hope to also recognize “snapshots” of three
additional sites—including your partnership.
NSBA made their selection based on the
information Christina School District
provided to them during a preliminary phone
conversations held on August 10,
2008, with Child and Nutritional Services
staff. They were very impressed with the
activities related to our partnership with
Nemours, as well as our evidence-oriented
approach and the commitment
 of
both the school and hospital staff and
boards to its success.
The selection process was challenging
because they explored many excellent
candidate sites and had to take into
consideration factors such as population
size, geographic location and demographic
profile. For these reasons and given the
high quality of candidates, they decided to
also showcase brief “snapshots” that
recognize additional partnerships.
Kudos to the
Christina School District CNS and school
staff whose work with Nemours has made this
recognition possible. We will keep you
updated. |

records, for a left wing.
Kelly is now the Ambassador of Flyers Hockey, and spends his
