Reading Pals Program
AGE to age will be bringing generations together
through Reading PALS at Minnehaha Elementary
School. Launching this fall, this exciting initiative
enables elders, adults, and youth to explore how
their generations are both alike and different by
sharing the love of reading.
Pam Carlson will coordinate this after school
program that will match community volunteers
with children for about an hour once a week to
read! Pam has her BS in Elementary Education
and a Masters in Teaching and Learning. She is
beginning her 28th year of teaching having taught
grades K, 1, 5,6 and Title One.
“I am really looking forward to
working with the PALS program
as it will provide our community
with a wonderful opportunity for
people of all generations to
come together for one-on-one
reading, sharing stories, and
Pam Carlson
Reading PALS Coordinator building relationships. The
program will not only provide children with reading
fluency practice, but it will also give our community
members the chance to contribute to the education
of our younger generation,” said Carlson.
Minnehaha Principal Brett Archer
is excited about the program possibilities. “It’s
going to enhance our afterschool programming
and my hope is for this to be the first of many other
programs that are fun for kids and also support
academics in out-of-school time at our school”.
A visioning day was held last spring to begin the
planning for Reading PALS. The goal is to
integrate RP with Community Education offerings
2
including KIDS & Co. and other support programs
such as the PASS program. We are partnering with
the RSVP program of Lake County to recruit
volunteers to become reading Pals.
Are you interested in helping out? Do you love
of kids and reading? A volunteer orientation and
background check are required (no cost to the
volunteer). Seniors citizens can gain RSVP
volunteer hours and teens can earn their
Community Service hours by helping with this
program. If you are interested in reading with
a Minnehaha student, get in touch with Pam at
834-8201, ext 8204 or pcarlson@isd381.org.
AGE to age Reading Pals: Over the past several
school years, the Reading Pals project has been
piloted in the AGE to age sites of Proctor,
McGregor, and Moose Lake. We are excited that
Two Harbors is one of the new communities joining
this effort. Thank you Northland Foundation.

MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT FOR
LAKE SUPERIOR SCHOOL DISTRICT
William Crandall
Our schools are open for the 2016-2017 school year.
We are excited to welcome new staff to the Lake Superior School District. You will be
introduced to the new Lake Superior School District staff in this edition of the Good News.
This year we have a new English Language Arts curriculum for the middle and high
school courses. The English department researched English curriculums and found one
that will meet the needs of our students. Part of the curriculum involves an online
component. Because of this online component all the students in the high schools will
have Chromebooks in the classrooms to work on their English courses. The English
Language Arts staff have been working on getting the curriculum organized and ready
for the start of the school year for our students.
The school board sees the value of smaller class sizes in our elementary level classes.
The district has added additional staff to the elementary schools to lower class sizes in
our elementary schools. These lower class sizes will allow our staff to provide more
individual attention to each child in their classrooms.
A new program we encourage community members to get involved with is our Reading
Pals program at the Minnehaha. Please consider being part of this outstanding program.
The schools continue to offer programming to assist our students. We have Alternative
Delivery of Specialized Instructional Service (ADSIS) and Title One to work on skills,
primarily in reading and math. Targeted services programs are held after school for
students to have fun with math and reading. Community Education has enrichment
opportunities all ages throughout the school year.

TIPS TO GET THE SCHOOL YEAR OFF
TO A HEALTHY START:
• Stick to a healthy sleep schedule. Students need
8-10 hours of sleep each night. Good sleep habits
include having a regular bedtime routine and
turning off electronic devices at least 30
minutes before going to bed.
• We all need to refuel our tank in the morning.
Breakfast really is the most important meal of
the day! Having something in your stomach will
prevent the mid-morning slump that gets in the
way of learning. Remember, there is always
breakfast available at school!
• Bring a water bottle to school and drink water
all day long. School policy allows students to
carry clear water bottles. Adequate hydration
will help keep you alert, minimize headaches and
ward off illness. Remember, up to 90% of our
bodies are water.
• Hand washing is the most effective way to fight
illness! Wash with soap and water for 20
seconds before eating and after blowing your
nose or using the bathroom. Hand sanitizer
works, too, if soap and water aren’t available.
• Finally, if you have a fever of 100.5’ without fever
reducing medication, unexplained rash or are
unable to participate in regular activities at
school, we ask that you stay home.
JUST A FEW MORE THINGS...
Please remember that if a student becomes ill after they
arrive at school, they must be assessed by the nurse
before they can go home. This assures that ill students
receive initial care and we know students are safe.
Medication, even over-the-counter, must be brought
from home and the proper forms completed before
medication can be given at school.
Our goal is to assure a healthier school community
for all. Please let us know how we can help!

ATTENTION THHS AND WKHS SENIORS
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
Seniors will be receiving a current copy of their
transcripts during homeroom in the first few weeks
of school. Students should carefully review these
transcripts and let the Guidance Office know
immediately if they feel there are any errors or if they
have questions. As students apply for academic
programs and scholarships, their transcripts will
serve as the academic record that schools and
committees review, so it is imperative that these are
accurate. While the Guidance Office reviews each
senior’s progress toward graduation, it is also critical
that students review their courses against graduation
requirements and make any adjustments to their
schedules as soon as possible if needed. Transcript
grades are also available on the Parent Portal at any
time for review. Kerri Persons, 10th-12th grade
Guidance Counselor, is available by calling 834-8201
Ext. 8206 or on email at kpersons@isd381.org.
(Please note the email change).
WKHS Counselor Michelle Gagnon, and/or
Principal Joe Nicklay, will be meeting individually
with Kelley students the first month of school to
discuss graduation requirements. If you have any
questions, feel free to call 218-226-4437 ext. 8134
or ext. 8101, email at mgagnon@isd381.org or
jnicklay@isd381.org.
BRAG SHEETS
In preparation for completing college and scholarship
applications, seniors are encouraged to fill out a Brag
Sheet and make copies of this sheet. A Brag Sheet is a
tool available in the Guidance Office that helps
students focus their thoughts regarding their own
strengths, abilities, goals, etc. Brag Sheets can be used
as a resource when students are asked to write essays
for various applications and copies can also be given
to staff when students ask them to write letters of
recommendation on their behalf. While several of the
application and scholarship deadlines are later in the
year, it is a good idea for students to take time now to
fill out a Brag Sheet so that they have it readily
available throughout the year when various deadlines
8
approach. Many teachers find Brag Sheets particularly
helpful when writing letters of recommendation and
will request that students provide a copy for them.
In addition to filling out a Brag Sheet, students should
also compile a list of all the activities (both at school
and within the community) that they have been
involved in during their 9th-12th grade years. Almost
all applications request this information and having a
list already compiled will be another helpful resource
as deadlines approach.
SENIOR MEETINGS
Seniors are encouraged to set up a time with Ms.
Persons, 10th-12th grade Guidance Counselor, to
discuss their post-secondary plans. The Guidance
Office will provide information on scholarship
opportunities, post-secondary application processes,
financial aid, etc., throughout the year via senior class
meetings, daily announcements/Parent Portal
announcements, postings outside the office and
specific evening presentations for both scholarships
and FAFSA preparation assistance. Senior students
and parents are welcome at any time to call, email or
set an appointment with the Guidance Office to
assist in future planning.
PSAT TEST
The PSAT test will be given at THHS and WKHS on
Wednesday, October 19th. This test is recommended
for juniors in the top 30-40% of their class as a
preparation for taking college entrance tests later
this year or next fall. More information will be
provided to juniors later in September regarding this
test, so students should pay attention to daily
announcements and information provided in
homeroom.
ACT
Seniors who would like to retake the ACT should
register online at www.actstudent.org; practice
materials can be found both online and in the
Guidance Offices. The ACT will be offered at Two
Harbors High School and William Kelley High
School on Tuesday, April 18th for any juniors who
want to take it.
The ACT test may be administered in Silver Bay on
October 22, and April 8, if enough students are registered for
the test. If a student misses the testing dates in Silver Bay the
test may be taken on one of the other test dates in Duluth.
The ACT test is also given on the following dates in the
Duluth area:

WKHS STUDENTS AND PARENTS
Senior students planning on attending college next year
should spend time in the career center; talk with the
college recruiters visiting our school, and pay close
attention to the daily announcements. Additional
information and help can be obtained from the
counselor. Next spring there will be a college
representative at WKHS providing a session on how to fill
out FAFSA forms (Free Application for Federal Student
Aid). The WKHS scholarship booklet, containing
information on local scholarships, will be available in the
guidance office or in the high school library.
LSSD #381 COMPREHENSIVE TESTING
2016-2017
Students in the Lake Superior School District are required by
the state of Minnesota to take the Minnesota Comprehensive
Assessments. These assessments are commonly known as
the MCA, MTAS, or ACCESS exams. Prior to the MCA testing,
teachers may also give the OPLA which is a practice test to
help prepare students for the MCA assessments. In addition
to the state required tests, LSSD also administers the NWEA
or MAP assessments. These assessments are used to show
student progress and growth over the course of the year.
Minnesota state statutes also require school districts to offer
during the school day an assessment to determine if
students are college or career ready. In 2016-2017 school
year, we will again be offering all juniors, or seniors who did
not take it as a junior, the opportunity to take the ACT. There
will be no cost to the students for the 2016-2017 school year.
View the full testing schedule for 2016-2017 on the district
website: www.isd381.org

DEAR PARENT/GUARDIAN:
Did you know an oral health program is available at your child’s school?
Just Kids Dental (JKD) partners with your school district at no charge to provide oral
health education and preventive services to underserved children at your child’s school.
The program focuses on economically disadvantaged children enrolled in Medicaid and
low-income children without any insurance coverage per available limited grant funding.
Families covered under private insurance are encouraged to continue care at their
established family dentist. A parental consent MUST be completed in INK and returned
to school prior to your child receiving services. Complete a SEPARATE form for EACH
eligible child.
“By coming in to the school, Just Kids Dental helps students remain healthy, stay in school so
they can learn and develop lifelong healthy habits. Just Kids Dental’s staff is kind, patient and

Smiles at school coming to William Kelley First
Graders this month! Watch for more Info!
Smiles@School is the result of Delta Dental of Minnesota Foundation and Minnesota Department of
Health coming together in 2014 to improve the oral health of Minnesota. Smiles@School is a
statewide oral health initiative funded by Delta Dental of Minnesota Foundation.
First graders are in their formative years when early education can be critical and healthy habits are
properly established. At this age, most have begun to lose primary teeth.
The goal is to bring Smiles@School to every first grade student in Minnesota as part of a back-toschool initiative to remind students—and their parents—about the importance of good oral health
through education and preventive activities. http://deltadentalmn.org/smiles-a-school

Beginner strength training focuses on the basics of
movements, using dumbbells and body weight. This class
is intended to help those who would like to increase their
muscle mass, decrease body fat, and raise metabolism
through a 45 minute session. It also shows the student
how to properly execute a movement properly and
efficiently. Please bring an exercise mat, a set of
dumbbells (weight is dependent on person), a water
bottle, and proper exercise attire. If you do not have
dumbbells, we do have extra. PLEASE NOTE: Oct. 4 and 11
and Dec. 13 class will be held in HS Cafeteria. No Class
Nov. 8.

GROUP CIRCUIT TRAINING
Circuit Training is one of the most effective ways one can
stay in shape and lose weight. It tackles every major
muscle group by challenging endurance and strength. A
single session of CT of one hour can burn anywhere from
400-600 kcals, depending on body type and effort put
into the class. This class will be challenging at first, but
as you continuously attend, you’ll notice you’ll be able to
perform the exercises properly and more efficiently. I
will also help modify movements if they are too
challenging, and please don’t hesitate to take short
breaks when needed. We will be getting on the floor, so
bringing a mat of some sort may be a good idea, but is
not required. Just know that putting something under
your knees or lying on something will aid in comfortably
executing the movement. There will be jumping around,
so if you have any knee problems, back, neck, etc. please
let me know so we can work on modifying the exercise.
Weights are recommended, but not required. We will be
doing lots of weighted activity, multiple reps, so please
bring a weight that you can handle. Water bottles and
clean athletic shoes (or comparable) are required.
PLEASE NOTE: No Class Oct. 20, Nov. 8 and Nov. 24.

Lake County has joined the first Minnesota cohort of
communities last spring to offer this exemplary course
for community members age 55 and above. This nationwide program has been made available by grant funding
from the National Council on Aging and the Northland
Foundation and allows for our initial students to take the
course free of charge. The $99 course fee will be waived
for seniors want to participate and are willing to act as
our AMP ambassadors in the future! Facilitated sessions
also feature a speaker on the curriculum topic. Fun
activities and food will round out each 90 minute
session. Sessions are currently being held in Silver Bay
and will be held again in Two Harbors beginning
Nov. 14. This is a course - not pick and choose topics.
Participants must attend 8 of the 10 session to be eligible
for graduation. Check with Community Education,
North Shore Area Partners or Community Partners for
more information.
What is AMP?
The Aging Mastery Program® (AMP) is a comprehensive
and fun approach to aging well that encourages people to
take actions to enhance their health, financial well-being,
social connectedness, and overall quality of life. Central to
the AMP philosophy is the belief that modest lifestyle
changes can produce big results and that people can be
empowered and supported to cultivate health and longevity.
Equally important, the program encourages mastery—
developing sustainable behaviors over time. Participants in
AMP go through a 10-session core program followed by
optional elective classes and activities.
Why is AMP important?
Life expectancy has increased dramatically over the past
50 years, yet people are generally unprepared for this
increased longevity. AMP offers an innovative approach
to guide individuals through this phase of life. The
program incorporates evidence-informed materials,
expert speakers, group discussion, peer support, and
small rewards to give participants the skills and tools
they need to achieve measurable improvements in
managing their health, remaining economically secure,
and contributing actively in society. All program
materials and resources align with the goal of helping
people enjoy self-sufficient lives.
