America’s National Parks Shine at Hutchings Elementary National Parks FairFifth grade students put on fair for school’s second and

third grade classesAmerica’s 59 national parks were recently showcased at the Hutchings Elementary Fifth Grade National Parks Fair. The fair was the culmination of the fifth grade’s yearlong research project on America’s National Parks. Using typical research methods such as the Internet, library books and encyclopedias, students learned about their selected park. However, the students’ research didn’t stop there, they also corresponded with park rangers via email, letters and even Skype to learn more about their national park. The fifth grade students shared their research with second and third grade students from Hutchings. Sarah Konsdorf did her research project on the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Kondsdorf was taken by the beauty of the park and its waterfalls, but said that it is probably most famous for having a river that caught fire because it was so polluted. Through his research Bryant Pejakovich learned about the animals, plant life and history of the Everglades National Park. According to Pejakovich the Everglades are home to several endangered species. This is the second year that Mr. Jason DeLand, Hutchings fifth-

grade teacher has had his s t u d e n t s research a national park and the first year that all Hutchings fifth graders have par t ic ipated in the project. According to DeLand, the goal of the project is to help students learn about research in a fun and interactive way. To help make the National Parks Fair possible the Howell Education Foundation provided a $800 classroom grant to help cover the costs of presentat ion m a t e r i a l s , r e s e a r c h materials and other items to help enhance the students’ learning. DeLand came up with the idea for a national parks themed research project after taking part in the Safari Club International’s American Wilderness Leadership School (AWLS) last year. Founded in 1976 AWLS provides teachers with knowledge of wildlife ecology and science-based conservation that can be shared with their students. DeLand received a scholarship to attend AWLS from the Flint Regional Chapter of the Safari Club International.

Many centuries ago, European and Asian peoples enjoyed eat-ing cherries. They are believed to have come from China around4000 B.C. Cherries were brought to America by early settlers inthe 1600s. Cherry trees, in fact, were part of the gardens ofFrench settlers when they established Detroit.

In Michigan, Peter Dougherty, a Presbyterian missionary,planted the first cherry orchard in 1852 in the Grand Traverse Bayarea on Old Mission Peninsula. These trees produced well andsoon other orchards were planted all over Northern Michigan.Grand Traverse area possesses the conditions that cherries needto grow to their full potential. Orchards there are usually plantedon rolling hills and sandy soil where there is water drainage andair flow.

The first cherry processing facility was built just south of Tra-verse City called the Traverse City Canning Company. Soon cher-ries were being shipped all over the country. Today, Traverse Cityis known nationally as the “Cherry Capital of the World”. In fact,the National Cherry Festival is held there each year which beganin 1924. This year it’s July 2nd thru 9th when the sweet and tartcherries begin to ripen.

The five counties around Traverse City produce 40% of the an-

Michigan’s Cherries!

nual tart cherry crop in the United States. Cherries used to bepicked by hand, but now a mechanical shaker which looks like anupside down umbrella is used. Today most sweet cherries are stillpicked by hand.• The major variety of tart cherry grown in the United States is theMontmorency. It has been cultivated in the United States for morethan a century because the fruit is excellent for pies, preserves, jel-lies, juice and other products. • Tart cherries have high levels of antioxidants when compared toother fruits. Some studies show that eating about 20 cherries aday could reduce inflammatory pain and headache pain amongmany other uses.• The United States produces more than 650 million pounds of tartand sweet cherries. Michigan grows about 75 percent of the U.S.crop of tart cherries and about 20 percent of the U.S. crop of sweetcherries.• It takes about 250 cherries to make a cherry pie.• The most famous sweet cherry variety is the Bing cherry. How-ever, there are more than 1,000 varieties of sweet cherries. Bingcherries are a dark red/burgundy color. There also are light sweetcherry varieties, such as Rainier and Queen Anne.

What is a hydrogeologist? That is a person who studies theways that ground water (hydro) moves through the soil and rocksof the earth (geology).

A hydrogeologist is the person who makes and uses laws to besure we have clean groundwater supplies. Kind of like doctors be-cause they help people stay healthy. When people become sickfrom contaminated water, they help find the problem and solve it.

Water is an essential part of live on earth and is what people,plants and animals need to survive. It is important that the limited

amount of freshwater we have on earth stays safe to drink and usefor the many purposes we have for it in everyday life. Think of themany things we use water for.

Hydrogeologists oversee the cleanup of spills and contamina-tion. Contaminants in groundwater move through soil and rock,which can cause people to become sick far from the source of con-tamination. They are like detectives and help solve contaminationproblems that are difficult to figure out. Hydrogeologists work withexperts who specialize in geology, wastewater, water supplies,waste management, oils, and organizations that know how to cleanup pollution or contamination.Hydrogeologists must know a lot about how water works with the

earth. They need to understand the relationships between thewater cycle, geology, math, physics, chemistry, and soils.

To become a hydrogeologist, you will need to graduate from a col-lege or university with courses in hydrogeology and/or biological,chemical, environmental and life sciences. A minimun of 30 geol-ogy credits and six hydrogeology credits are usually required.

Pigs, also called hogs or swine, are ungulates which have been do-mesticated as sources of food, leather and similar products since an-cient times. Their long association with humans has led to theirconsiderable representation in cultural settings from paintings toproverbs.

They are native to Eurasia. Despite the pigs reputation for exces-sive eating and another reputation for dirtiness, a lesser known qual-ity is their intelligence. The nearest living relatives of the swine familyare the hoofed mammals.

A pig has a snout for a nose, small eyes and a small tail which maybe curly, kinked or straight. The snout is used to dig into the soil tofind food and is a very sensitive sense organ. Pigs have a full set of44 teeth. The canine teeth, called tusks grow continually and aresharpened by the lowers and uppers rubbing against each other.The pig has a thick body and short legs. There are four toes on eachfoot. The two large toes in the middle are used for walking.

Pigs are omnivores, which means that they consume both plantsand animals.Pigs will scav-enge and havebeen known toeat any kind offood, includingdead insects,garbage andmore. In thewild, they areforaging ani-mals, primarilyeating leavesand grasses,roots, fruits andflowers.

Learn AboutPigs!

pigs are commonly raised as livestock by farmers for meat(called pork), as well as for leather. Their bristly hairs are usedfor brushes too. Some breeds of pigs, such as the Asian pot-bellied pig are kept as pets.

Pigs do not have functional sweat glands so they cool them-selves using water or mud during hot weather. They use mudas a form of sunscreen to protect their skin from sunburn. Mudprovides protection from flies and parasites too.

Eighth Grade Students Receive the Gifts of the Holy Spirit in the Sacrament of Confirmation On Wednesday evening, April 22, Holy Spirit Catholic Church and School had the honor of Bishop Bo-yea’s presence as he confirmed eighth grade students from our school and parish. In his homily, the Bishop reminded all of us of the im-portance of showing gentleness in our interactions with each other. He assured the students that this spe-cial outpouring of gentleness would be one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit which they received that night and it would help them for the rest of their lives. The Bishop shared a story about how hurtful and ugly jealousy can be and how the gentle healing of choosing to forgive and desire the best for each other does bring out the best in each of us. We are grateful for Bishop Boyea and all of the many ways he is such a gentle shepherd in leading us and helping us stay close to God.

Second Graders Receive Their First Holy CommunionThe second grade students at Holy Spirit celebrated the Sacrament of Holy Communion on Sunday, May 3 at the 11am Mass. Family, friends and parishioners were there to share in this special event of their spiritual journey. They have now joined the table of the Lord! Congratulations! They also enjoyed crowning Mary. What a beautiful day!

Muffins with MomsOn Thursday, May 7th, all stu-dents at Holy Spirit took time in the afternoon to honor their mothers at the annual Muffins with Mom event. Beautiful placemats were made by children in grades kin-dergarten through eighth grade and the activity center was set up for this special occasion by the third and fourth grade students. Moms of first and second graders were given a cookbook with all of their favorite recipes inside, and kindergarten moms were given a cute poem with their handprint on it. Moms and students alike en-joyed their muffins and this spe-cial time together!

Students Participate in the Catholic Tradition of May CrowningIt is May, which means it is Mary’s month. One of the most time-honored traditions shared by Catholics all over the world is to honor Mary in May through a special procession culminating in a crown being placed on the head of a statue of Mary. A part of the May Crowning tradition is that the crown be placed by a young girl who has just received her First Holy Communion. At our school, we continue this tradition in three ways: first, at the First Communion Mass, the children participate in the May Crowning; second, the school children have a special honoring of Mary at a school Mass during the week fol-lowing First Communion, where each student presents a flower to the crowned Queen of Heaven and Earth; third, the seventh and eighth grade students hold a May Crowning at the outdoor shrine to Our Lady of Lourdes, where one of the newly confirmed crowns Mary. We thank God for the gift of the Mother of Jesus and con-tinue to honor her throughout this month of May.

I received my First Communion today!

First Communicants crown Mary.

S t u d e n t s P a r t i c i p a t e in a Living H i s t o r y MuseumOn Friday, May 15, 2015, students in grades preschool to eighth grade at St. Mary Catholic School participated in a Living History Museum presentation. “All of the students were very excited about this day because there were so many things happening,” said Principal Veronica Kinsey. The day started with an all school Mass and then the Ribbon and Candle Ceremony for the 7th and 8th graders. The annual Spring Concert took place m i d - m o r n i n g . “Those activities were exciting, but all of the children were very excited to dress up in their character to perform in the Living History Museum later in the day,” said Kinsey. Preschool students brought in a picture of a grandparent and told about them as children. Kindergarten students dressed as community workers while the first grade class put together a video of then and now. The second grade class put on a play of the Burke family coming to America from Ireland during the potato famine. Third graders were American Patriot Symbols and the fourth grade used their state float reports to become a famous person from their state. Students in grades fifth through eighth grade became people from different eras in history. Students became famous characters such as Sitting Bull, Martha Washington, Thomas Edison, Daniel Boone, Mozart, and even Elvis was in the building. “Visitors” to the museum dropped a penny into a jar to start the “display” at which time students would come to life to tell about their famous person. “This is wonderful,” said grandparent Mr. Kinter. “It needs to be longer so that I can see each one.”

Seventh Grade BaySail Trip St. Mary Catholic School’s seventh grade class went on their annual BaySail class trip on Wednesday, May 6, 2015. They traveled to Bay City on a charter bus, with the first stop at Delta College Planetarium for a show about the stars and planets. After a picnic lunch in Wenonah Park, they boarded the Appledore IV Schooner for an afternoon of science and sailing activities. On the trip back, they enjoyed a pizza buffet dinner. Many comments from the students were things like “it was fun going on the river and learning really interesting water things” and “when we raised the sail it was awesome!” “This is a great learning experience for the children,” said teacher Mrs. Paula Dzombak. “For some, this is the only time they will be on a schooner of this size. They also get to use concepts learned in the classroom for real life experience.”

Middle School Science DayStudents in the middle school at St. Mary School recently enjoyed a Science Day. Melanie Flaherty, a St. Mary School alumna and a student at Northern Michigan University, presented demonstrations and hands-on science activities to the sixth, seventh and eighth graders. The sixth graders did an earth science activity, “Mining Chocolate”, the seventh graders extracted DNA from broccoli, and the eighth graders did a chemistry experiment, “Exploding Bubbles.” All of the students really enjoyed the activities and saw that science is fun!

That TastesSoooooGood!!

Everyone has their favorite food they LOVE to eat! Have youever wondered how you can taste your favorite food? Tastingyour food has everything to do with your taste buds!

Taste buds are sensory organs found on your tongue. These or-gans allow you to taste the four basic tastes which are sweet,salty, sour and bitter.

If you stick out your tongue and look into the mirror, you will seebumps on it. They are called papillae. Most of these contain tastebuds which have a very sensitive microscopic hair called microvilliin them. These tiny hairs send messages to the brain about whatyou are tasting, so you will know if it is sweet, salty, sour, or bitter.

The average person has around 10,000 taste buds in theirmouth. They are replaced every two weeks or so. There are twothings that reduce the number of taste buds in your mouth. Thefirst one is smoking. Smoking can reduce the amount of tastebuds you have. The second reason is age. An older person hasreduced working taste buds. As a result, younger people have astronger sense of taste.

Your nose plays an important part in this also. In the upper partof your nose, there are Olfactory Receptors that have special cellswhich help you smell. These receptors send messages to thebrain too. While you’re chewing food, the food releases chemicalsthat travel up into your nose, triggering the receptors. Togetherwith the taste buds, they send a message to your brain. In thisway, you learn the true flavor of the food you are eating. Whenyou have a cold and your nose is stuffy, you will notice that yourfood doesn’t have much taste because your Olfactory Receptorscan’t receive the chemicals from the food!

Try This!You will need:4 small bowls1 teaspoon of salt1 teaspoon of sugar1 teaspoon of lemon juice1 teaspoon of vinegar1 glass of water to rinse out the tastes in your mouth1 spoon

In each bowl, add 1/4 cup of water. In the first bowl, mix in thesugar. In the second bowl, mix in the salt. In the third bowl, mix inthe lemon juice and in the fourth bowl, mix in the vinegar.

Close your eyes and pinch your nose while having an adult puta small amount of solution in your mouth. See if you can guesswhat it is. Then unplug your nose and guess again. Rinse out yourmouth and repeat this process with the rest of the solutions!

Jack & Holy Spirit Family raise money for families in Iraq In a quickly changing world, opportunities often arise that call for people to think beyond themselves and do something for others. Like other students at Holy Spirit School in Brighton, Jack was looking for a Lenten sacrifice that he could make. After mentioning it to his mom, who had just heard a segment on Ave Maria Radio about the persecution of Christians in Iraq, he decided that this might be the opportunity for which he could help. Christian families in Iraq have been suffering and have had to escape from their homes, taking nothing with them. Many have also lost family members. HelpIraq.org was formed to bring awareness to their plight and to organize and supply relief for those persecuted. One hundred percent of money donated to this organization goes straight to those in need. After deciding that asking for donations and organizing a bottle drive would be the way to go, a call for help was put out, not only to his classmates at the school, but also to the

whole parish family; and help, they did. Empty collection bottles in classrooms began to fill up with donations from students, and bags of bottles and cans were appearing at the collection bins outside. With the help of the youth group, hundreds of bottles were redeemed over the next several weeks. When the Lenten drive was complete, $751.26 was raised and ready to be sent to Bishop Francis Kalabat in Iraq. Thanks to Jack--and the help of his Holy

Spirit family--a ‘small’ idea turned into a large donation to help make a difference in the lives of the Christians displaced in Iraq. The need in Iraq is ongoing and for anyone interested in learning more or making a donation, www.HelpIraq.org is a good place to start.

Hilton Elementary students learn benefits of health and nuitrion First graders in Ms. Renee Obert’s class have been running a mile most school days since November. They have completed over 70 miles, or the equivalent of almost 3 marathons! The class kept track of 5K, 10K, 1/2 marathon and full marathon goals with special charms on necklaces given by Ms. Obert. What an accomplishment for first graders! “The Michigan Model Health Curriculum has certain objectives that need to be met each year,” said Obert. “When it comes to health and nutrition, it seemed fruitless to just have children completing handouts. I attempted to make the health and nutrition portion of the Michigan Model concrete and real for the kids. Not only have I met the learning objectives, but the children have embraced wellness and activity. They understand that being physically active is good for their bodies because they can feel their hearts beating

faster and their blood moving after a run/walk in the morning. Additionally, the librarian (Mrs. Adams) and myself have noticed that the children are more attentive and focused after a movement break. The children look forward to their morning run and have a blast racing each other or playing little games during the mile.” “As a parent of a student in the class, I have also noticed many positive outcomes,” says Lauren Johnson. “My son Luke is proud of his class for running, and noticed that in the beginning it was difficult to complete a mile, and now it is easy! He has noticed that running with his class each day helps him in other sports.”
