Kermavner Named Cardinal Superintendent

Interim Superintendent Bill Kermavner was unanimously approved and hired by the Cardinal Schools Board of Education (BOE) with a three year contract that will begin Aug. 1, 2019. Kermayner’s salary for the first year is $102,500. His contract includes a one percent increase each of the next two years, same one percent increase negotiated by the teachers’ union and approved for the classified staff. In addition to his superintendent responsibilities, he will also be assuming the responsibility of transportation supervisor for the Cardinal school district.

The Cardinal BOE is now holding board meetings in the Cardinal Community Learning Center located in the former intermediate school building in Middlefield.

Back to SchoolBy Margaret Chatfield

One of my absolute favorite back-to -school children’s picture books is titled “First Day Jitters” by Julie Danneberg, published by Charlesbridge in 2000.

The story begins the morning of the first day of school. Sarah Jane Hartwell is the main character. She is afraid to start at her new school. Sarah does not want to get out of bed, she pulls the covers over her head and says, “I’m not going. I hate my new school.” Mr. Hartwell gently offers Sarah all kinds of support and patience. “Think of all the new friends you will meet.” Sarah groans and insists she won’t know anybody, it will be hard and she just will hate it. After many more moments of stalling and complaining, Mr. Hartwell puts his foot down and says, “Sarah Jane Hartwell, I’m not playing this silly game one second longer. I’ll see you down stairs in five minutes.” Sarah grudgingly tumbles out of bed, stumbles into the bathroom, fumbles into her clothes and drags her feet down the stairs to the breakfast table. At the table she complains about a headache. Sarah eats toast and is presented with a brand new lunch box. On the drive to school, Sarah says, “I can’t breathe.” Arriving at school, she says “I feel sick.” “Nonsense,” says Mr. Hartwell. “Look, there’s your new principal, Mrs. Burton.” The principal greets Sarah and eagerly shows Sarah where to go. Sympathizing, the principal says to Sarah, “Don’t worry, everyone is nervous the first day.” As they arrive to the classroom most of the children are already in their seats. The principal clears her throat and says, “Class, class, attention, please.” After a few moments the class quiets down and the principal says, “I would like you to meet your new teacher, Mrs. Sarah Jane Hartwell.”

What a surprise ending! Who would have thought a new teacher could be so anxious about the first day of school. I always enjoy the role reversal of this story. Your child will get a happy surprise from the ending too. We can all appreciate the fact that everyone, including the teachers, is nervous and anxious about going back or starting at a new school. Just knowing

that even teachers can feel worried can be a great comfort for your child. It is normal. And the more you talk about their feelings of apprehension, the easier the new school transition will be.

There are many things you can do to help your child overcome their own first day jitters. Start by establishing a sleep routine before the first day. Take your child school supply shopping. Allow them to pick out some special item they will look forward to using. Have a permanent study/homework area for your child to complete school assignments. If possible, tour the school before the first day so your child will have some familiarity with their new school. Talk with your child about expectations regarding the upcoming school year. Add some surprise notes, favorite treats or pictures to their lunch box. And, always, always continue to read to your child. I have listed a few of some other great back-to- school picture books.

Back to School “Daze”?By Roger Kruse

As the back-to-school sales ads try to get our attention, I can almost hear the groans. “Back to school again… No! It can’t be; summer just started!” Like it or not, as the month of August moves in, the school buses will soon be rolling again. Despite the protests and complaints to the contrary, both teachers and students will feel a buzz of excitement as they prepare for their first day back.

People around the world put a premium on educating their children. By the time a student perseveres through pre-school, K-12, and the optional 4 years of college plus grad school, he or she should have an intellect full of information. Of course, there are good arguments concerning where the “real” education is found. Practical knowledge and hands-on experience are great teachers that the classroom is hard pressed to replicate. However, many teachers these days are utilizing an interactive learning approach which allows students to engage an inductive process that invites personal discovery.

One thing I have learned is that I need to keep learning. If you think you have arrived and know everything you need to learn, you are probably in danger of being a know-it-all or just a dinosaur. Learning is a lifelong pursuit that requires a teachable spirit. What is your attitude if someone tries to correct you or show you how to do something in a different way? Do you scoff and resist or do you welcome the opportunity to learn something new? We laugh about the saying that “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” Actually, there is great gain in maintaining a teachable spirit. Proverbs 19:20 tells us to, “Listen to advice and accept instruction, and in the end you will be wise.” Wisdom is much more than having knowledge. Real wisdom has to do with living a life that is approved by God which also enables us to become a blessing to others.

When Jesus called his disciples, He invited them to “come and see,” and to

“follow him” in a shared life of learning and doing ministry together. Jesus’ followers called Him Rabbi or Teacher, and acknowledged that His words were the true source of eternal life. Jesus tells us to submit ourselves to His leadership and learn directly from Him. The result will bring rest and refreshment to our souls, and lighten the load we carry.

What lessons might Jesus want to teach us? How to forgive those who hurt us, how to be generous and share with others, how to trust God and push our fears away, how to overcome temptation and pursue the path of right living, and how to discover the path of abundant and eternal life. These are the essential issues of life that bring joy and peace to our souls as we learn from Jesus.

Ten years ago, I made a hard decision to devote myself to God’s work in India. Since then I have received valuable training that has wonderfully enriched my life and ministry. I have learned the power of using questions to build relationships that matter. I have been taught how to coach aspiring leaders to achieve personal goals while developing new leaders which actually multiplies their influence. I have embraced the power of storytelling to communicate life transformation and enduring truth. I have experienced the joy of watching God do amazing things through ordinary people loved and empowered by God.

As the kids go back to school, why not join them? Become an avid learner who grows, develops and touches a world in need of the unique gifts you have to share. All things are possible to the one who has faith.

Roger Kruse is not an intellectual giant. Nevertheless, he is a learner who tries to maintain a teachable spirit. As a result, God graciously imparts His knowledge and a wisdom that equips and enables others to know and love the Savior.

Cardinal Community Learning Center Open for BusinessBy Darrin J. Cook

On July 19, a tour of the Cardinal Intermediate School (CIS) building, now the Cardinal Community Learning Center (CCLC), was arranged through the Middlefield Chamber of Commerce. Members of the chamber and community gathered in a large meeting room to begin the tour and were greeted by board members Linda Smallwood, Barb Rayburn, and the Superintendent Bill Kermavner. The tour lasted over an hour, providing many details about the CCLC building’s past, present and future use. The Board was prepared to answer all questions and were excited to show the building and progress made over the past year. Here are five key areas of interest taken from the tour.

Focus on the Community: Superintendent Bill Kermavner and the other Board members stressed that the focus was on the community, so are open to suggestions. “Some construction is on hold, waiting to fulfill the needs of a future tenant.” He went on to say that fiscal responsibility is key so it doesn’t make sense to complete some of the construction without knowing the needs of the community. He added that the building is ADA compliant for those

with disabilities.Impressive Upgrades: The first room

on the tour was a large, newly painted and carpeted meeting room. Most of the group reminisced about this room when it was the gym and stage. It would convert nicely into a large conference room, complete with dividers that open and close electronically. The room can hold nearly 300 people and tables and chairs are available to comfortably seat 200. The alumni who were present were happy to discover

some of the old floors were restored and incorporated into the design, but there was also a lot of fresh paint and new carpeting. An executive conference room was fitted with a large conference table, comfortable chairs, a podium, a whiteboard, a complete kitchen and additional tables and chairs. This room can accommodate up to 25 people. Air conditioning, audio/video, internet, and all the accessories needed to hold a conference are available for all of the meeting spaces. Although lighting has been upgraded, many of the rooms provide plenty of natural lighting, with the option to draw shades if needed. A fully functional elevator accesses all of the floors, making all of the rooms easily accessible for catering, meeting equipment and items not easily transported via the stairway. The board made it clear that much credit needed to be given to Brian Kelly (Maintenance Supervisor) and his crew. They have been working tirelessly to keep as many of the repairs in-house as possible, such as recessing the old plumbing and other projects. Any of the work beyond their capabilities were outsourced to local contractors.

Tenants Already in Place: Family Pride currently rents a newly renovated room with talk of expanding. Available offices will occupy quickly considering the prime location, new amenities, and fresh look.

Comfortable Classrooms: Thanks to the community and alumni, students can spend class periods in the renovated science lab doing experiments with teachers and district science consultant, “Professor Z”. There is a Teaching and

Learning lab with plenty of work space and comfortable seating that could be easily rearranged to accommodate any type of class. The superintendent stated that new Chromebook laptops are slated to be donated. These laptops are a necessary item for access to online learning applications.

CCLC is One of Three Major Capital I m p r o v e m e n t Projects: In addition to converting the CIS building into a modern meeting and office facility, Cardinal Schools is also using (COP) Certificate of Participation bond money and substantial Alumni donations to install a new sound system, update the bleachers, and add an all weather track in the football stadium area. If money remains after these projects are complete, it will be applied to the remaining stadium upgrades, which include restrooms and concessions. Portions of this money were also spent on new double pane windows throughout the high school, and all windows at the elementary school with exception to the west side. The board felt the west side windows were in good

condition and not in need of replacement. Lastly, remaining roofing repairs will be bid out this winter for 2020. The superintendent felt that putting bids out in the winter would result in more competitive pricing. Lastly,

a state-of-the-art PHabLab where the CMS library use to be is near completion. It is here that students will use STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) concepts for learning. The PHabLab will feature, among other things, 3D and large format printers, as well as an interactive whiteboard called a jamboard. Project updates are available by visiting the Cardinal Schools website, https://cardinalschools.org/.

It is clear, with all of the projects going and the revenue o p p o r t u n i t i e s coming to fruition by way of the

CCLC building, the Board stands focused, energetic, and committed to making this school system the best it can be. If you are interested in learning more about leasing office space or reserving a meeting room, contact Kristie Steyer at 440-632-0261, ext. 1000 or [email protected].

JES Students Visit CMSK and first graders had a chance to spend time with middle school students prior to the

end of the school year. The pups traveled up to CMS to participate in a fun reading activity. Middle school students worked in groups to select and read a book, create an activity related to the book, and then share a treat with the pups they were working with. Older students shine in their example by planning, implementing, and demonstrating their reading skills. Younger students get to see CMS, meet older students, and work on their reading skills too. It’s a great way to bring the two groups together and everyone always has fun!
