Almanac A2 WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 23, 2000 FREMONT TRIBUNE YEAR: Waterloo welcomes Obituaries serve in a tutorial capacity, Sellon said, the goal is for them to form relationships beyond just academics and be role models and friends to the students. The mentoring program will be very personalized for each student, he said. The goal is for each mentor to help one student succeed. About 30-40 students are expected to participate, with the program initially offered in grade school, but expanding to the upper grades as the year progresses. For seniors, a pilot program will be put in place to provide a series of workshops from a business consultant who focuses on time management, goal setting and personal strengths.

If it proves beneficial, Sellon said he hopes to make it a regular part of senior curriculum. With all the new programs and hope for the schools future as well as the students futures, Sellon said he is glad to see the school year begin. Tm just so excited to have kids walk in the front door, he said. Weve been working really hard all summer, and Im always excited to see the fruits of our labor. Sellon added that students and parents also have been anticipating the beginning of the year.

There have been a variety of students who have stopped by, he said. Tve heard from most everyone, parents included, that theyre glad school is starting, and theyre fired up. Weve got a lot of good kids. Knowing that so much communitywide effort has gone into not just keeping the school open, but making it a better place, Sellon said, definitely will serve as a motivator for students to excel CONTINUED FROM PAGE A1 program. The grant allows the school to utilize support materials such as textbooks and videos.

It also provides funding for a teacher from Spain to spend 20 hours per week in the school helping the teachers, most of whom have no background in Spanish. Its new to everyone, Sellon said, but thats the beauty of this program. You dont have to be a Spanish speaker in order to be effective in teaching Spanish. In fact, you learn right along with the children. Students and parents are excited about the Spanish program, Sellon said, adding that learning another language is appropriate for todays children.

One of the things we need to do in our schools today is prepare children for the futures we are going to live in, he said. It is going to be a multicultural, multilingual society. Also in the elementary school, aggressive new reading goals have been put into place, Sellon said, with the plan to have every child be reading at or above his or her grade level by the end of the school year. An accelerated reading program encourages children to read a lot. After reading a story or book, they will go to a computer to take a comprehension test.

This is designed to give teachers an accurate evaluation on strengths and weaknesses of each student. It breaks reading down into various structures so teachers know what areas to focus on, Sellon said. Also, there will be a schoolwide sustained silent reading time each week on a certain day and time. The school is implementing an academics-based mentoring program as well. While the volunteer mentors will ARMY: Worms CONTINUED FROM PAGE A1 on insecticides the last few days.

We were hit hard Monday, he said, noting customers are snatching up weapons against the army worms. They want such weapons to be safe for vegetables, lawns, trees, shrubs and pets, but deadly to the pesky invaders. The pests get the name army worms because they travel like an army, Gaussoin said.

Later, as the caterpillars mature, all above-ground plant parts are consumed. To confirm the presence of army worms, experts said to apply 14 cup of lemon-scented household detergent in two gallons of water over one square yard of turf.

This irritates the caterpillars and forces them to the surface where they can be identified and counted. Scratching around in the thatch with a knife also may reveal their presence.
