TRANSCRIPT
From Running Club: Volunteers: We are in great need of volunteers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This program is a non-profit program based completely on volunteers. We have 95 students registered (30 more than last year) and fewer volunteers this year. As a coach you will always have a lesson plan, you will not have to run and there will always be a head coach instructing.

News, Highlights & Important Info:
Kindergarten and New to First Grade Registration: Beavercreek City Schools will be conducting registration for students entering kindergarten and first grade for the 2015-2016 school year on Thursday, March 5th at the Board of Education building (located at 3040 Kemp Road) from 7:30-5:00 pm. No appointments are necessary for this day only. There are benefits to students and parents who register early. Kindergarten screenings are conduct-ed in early May to identify those skills that incoming students need to master, and school counselors will provide parents with resources they can use to prepare their children for school. Registering early provides parents with more time to work on building these skills with their students. Registering early also helps the district plan for the upcoming year to ensure that staffing and resources are in place prior to the start of school. Kindergarten enrollment packets can be picked up at any elemen-tary school or at the Board of Education office starting February 18. Appointments for registration may be made after May 1 for parents who are unable to attend the March 5 registration event. For more information, visit www.beavercreek.k12.oh.us or call Central Registration at 458-2400. Pack-ets for incoming first graders are available on-line at http://www.beavercreek.k12.oh.us. Click on STUDENT REGISTRATION to download a packet to fill out.
Please be sure to add both secretaries [email protected] and [email protected] to your distri-bution list when you notify teachers of absences, late arrivals and early dismissals.

Hello Parents, The Leadership Team at Trebein is doing a book study on the book, School Culture Rewired: How to Define, Assess, and Transform It by Steve Gruenert & Todd Whitaker. As a new school, we are committed to creating and maintaining a school culture that is suc-cessful for both staff and students. As a Trebein staff, we are looking at the following 12 aspects of school culture and reflecting on where we are currently and where we hope to be: Student Achievement
Collegial Awareness
Shared Values
Decision Making
Risk Taking
Trust
Openness
Parent Relations
Leadership
Communication
Socialization
Organizational History
It is important to us that you realize how much we care about the total school experience. We know that testing and student achieve-ment tend to be the topics most discussed, so we feel it is vital for you to know we are committed to establishing and maintaining a posi-tive school environment. While we feel our school culture is actually quite good, it is important to be purposeful in our decision making. As always, any input you have or ideas for improvement are always welcome.

We are continuing our Character Education initiative which focuses on Food, Water, and Shelter next month by
supporting a great organization, Snuggled Up Inc. Snuggled Up provides beds and bedding to children who are in
need. We are going to be collecting items to donate to Snuggled Up’s cause. From March 16th to March 27th we
are asking students to bring in new twin sheet sets and warm blankets so that we can replenish Snuggled Up’s
resources and allow them to continue to help students in need. We have also scheduled fun spirit days on the
three days leading up to Spring Break where students can bring in or wear fun items for a .50 donation. We will
provide more information once we get closer to those days. The money collected will help Snuggled Up purchase
additional items such as the cots that they need to complete the bedding bundles. Thank you so much for your
continued support for our character education initiative!

Trebein Elementary is proud to announce that fifth grader, Ava Kahlig’s artwork was accepted into the 2015 Ohio Art Education Association’s Youth Art Month Exhibition. We are also excited to announce that 4th grade student, Sierra Bain’s artwork was chosen as an exhibitor for the 35th Annual Young People’s Art Exhibition sponsored by the Ohio Art Education Association.
Both art exhibits by Ohio students in kindergarten through eighth grade will be on display at the State Teacher’s Retirement Systems building in Co-lumbus, Ohio from February 28 to March 21, 2015.
One hundred and twenty pieces of artwork were selected for these exhibitions from the nine OAEA regions in the State of Ohio. Ava’s artwork, Water-color Leaves, and Sierra’s artwork, Dynamic Dragon, were submitted to the shows by Carla Lee, visual arts educator at Trebein Elementary. The two shows are sponsored by the Ohio Art Education Association, which is the professional organization for art teachers in Ohio. A reception and awards ceremony will be held at the STRS building on Saturday, March 14, 2015, for the young artists, their parents, teachers, and guests. Congratulations Ava and Sierra!

Letter from our PTO President Dear PTO Members,
During our February PTO meeting, our vice-president (Holly Truckermiller), secretary (Jaime Jones), and treasurer (Christina Pyles) spoke about what their positions entail. During our March PTO meeting, our historian (Jessica Dailey), fundraising coordinator (Michelle Seymour), and volunteer coordinator (Jodie Gervais) will be speaking about their posi-tions as well. We will be accepting nominations for these positions during our April PTO meeting and elections will oc-cur during our May PTO meeting.
The position of president is also being elected and must be filled by a present member of the executive board (one of the afore mentioned officers). This will help maintain continuity for our PTO and hopefully avoid “reinventing the wheel” scenarios.
Please consider running for ne of these positions and feel free to discuss what is required with current officers holding the positions.
At our March PTO meeting, we will have a guest speaker from Greene County Family and Children First. Please join us on Tuesday, March 17
th in the Trebein Elementary library at 7:00pm.
Sincerely,
Chrisonna Anderson-Lutz
Trebein PTO President
