Lights, Film, Action

The junior and senior Interactive Media (IMTV) students in the Career Tech Center at Greenville Senior High School have been applying their skills to real projects through partnerships with local community clients.

One of IMTV’s highlight projects is the production of a promotional show for the Light Foundation’s Darke County Annual Turkey Hunt.  IMTV senior, Jake Synder and junior, Isaak Clevenger teamed up with GHS IMTV alumni, Alex Stewart to film, edit and produce the show. This is the third year in a row that IMTV has partnered with the Light Foundation. This show will be aired in all of the Darke County Schools, on Greenville’s Public Access Television Channel 5 and the Light Foundation’s website.

This year IMTV has also been in transition of taking ownership of the former GPAT (Greenville Public Access Television), now the new Channel 5, WAVE.  The students have been very busy in creating logos, templates, message board postings and programming for Channel 5.  The students have been video recording the Greenville City Council Meetings, Board of Education Meetings, GHS sports and other community events such as the MainStreet Greenville, Holiday Horse Parade. IMTV is looking forward to upgrading programming for the citizens of Greenville and Darke County.

Interactive Media is a creative, business oriented approach to graphics arts, computer animation, audio/video techniques, photography and web design. Students learn to use advanced multimedia techniques to create, organize, manage, and present digital information in a variety of media forms.  Upon successfully completion of this course, students will be proficient in using industry standard software and hardware, efficiently managing and presenting information, comfortably presenting projects to small groups as well as planning, designing and creating multimedia projects successfully in both team and individual environments. 

For more information about the program or if you have a client project for IMTV, please contact Mrs. Lori Hoover at (937) 548-4188, ext. 840 or Mr. David Peltz CT Director at (937) 548-4188, ext. 847.

GHS Engineering Program Presents Skills for the Future

GREENVILLE, OH – The Engineering program at Greenville Senior High School already has presented interesting learning experiences this year and has much more in store for its members. The class of 2014 just finished up metrology with their final exam recently. Students acquired skills in methods of measurement, using tools such a micrometer, vernier caliper, depth mic, and many more. The class received college credit through labs and test from Edison Community College.   

The seniors are currently working on their Senior Capstone Projects. The students are nearing the completion of 12 years of education. Combining their knowledge and skills, students are to develop the idea of a “green” energy source. The students are expected to develop a product or process of some kind, displaying their knowledge and research. Projects being displayed include a water vortex, a hydro- electric dam, a solar hydro-electric RC car, and the gasifier. Students are also expected to provide a lengthy research paper and portfolio. A formal presentation is then given to a panel composed of teachers, community leaders and peers.

The program stays busy and often ventures beyond campus. Future field trips are set to include the local YMCA for a safety inspection, as well as the Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton. Students also pack a bus full and head north to the Detroit Auto Show later in the school year. A community service project is also in the works for both seniors and juniors.

For more information about the Engineering program, contact instructor Chris Sykes at Greenville High School.

Greenville FFA Participates in County Soil Contests

Greenville FFA Participates in County Soil Contests

 The Darke County FFA Soils Contest was held recently just north of Versailles.  The soil contest consists of a written test, a Soil Survey test, and three pits to evaluate. The team, consisting of up to eight students, grades the soil pit based upon the guidelines provided on the scoring card.  The team is given approximately fifteen minutes at each of the three pits to determine various soil characteristics.  Then based on what characteristics were found, management practice recommendations are made.

The Rural Soil Judging team looked at the slope, soil texture, air and water movement, depth of topsoil and subsoil in each of the pits. Then the team members chose conservation practice to recommend in order utilizing that type of ground in a farming situation correctly.

The Urban Soils team looked at slope, landform, flood hazards, soil stability, soil texture of the surface and subsoil, depth to seasonal high water table, and depth to bedrock.  They used these characteristics in determining use limitations for buildings with basement; septic tank absorption fields, driveways and local roads, and lawns, gardens, and landscaping.  Based upon what was found, members then chose some recommended management practices for each of these areas.




Rural Soils Participants          

Several Greenville FFA teams competed in the Darke County Soils contest where the Urban team took 1^st, 2^nd, 3rd, and 4^th places and the Rural team took 5^th and 6^th places

High scorers for the Greenville FFA in the Urban Contest included Andrew Clark, Kevin Brenner, Alex Yohey, and Seth Monnin. In the Rural Soils Contest, the high scorers were David Shultz, Ivy Berger, Christian Jennings, and Christian Kimmel.



Urban Soils Participants

Those who were on the Urban Soils Team were Seth Monnin, Kevin Brenner, Clayton McGlothin, Alex Yohey, Connor Garber, Steve Dakin, Tyler Pitman, Jaymie Phillips, Jenna LeMaster, Matt Freshour, Karri Stickley, Josh Magoto, Kyle Conklin, and Andrew Clark.

FFA Holds Annual Safety Awareness Days

Greenville High School students shared their knowledge about food production and safety with first-graders on Thursday, Oct. 10^th, during the FFA’s Annual Safety Awareness Day at the Darke County Fairgrounds.

“We host this annual event because it’s a learning experience for both our high school students and our school district’s first-graders,” said John Guttadore, agricultural teacher and FFA adviser.

 First-graders from Greenville City Schools and St. Mary’s first-graders attended the event at the fairgrounds. The high school students set up many learning stations at the fairgrounds.

“It’s an urban education day,” said Patrick Garber, FFA President, “They get to taste cheese made from the cow, taste apple butter and apple cider, eat popcorn, roast marshmallows, taste honey, and learn how certain situations are dangerous.”  He also said that as the children boarded the buses to return to school, they received a few reminders of their trip to Safety Awareness Days.  They included pencils, coloring pages, safety brochures, apples, and pumpkins.

Many of the stations are focused on safety – such as bicycle safety, fire safety, lawn mower safety, and first aid. Other stations focus on various aspects of agriculture. Students also learned about products made from milk, corn, soybeans, honey and apples, as well as the products that go into making a cheeseburger. They petted farm animals, sat on a tractor, roasted marshmallows, and painted pumpkins.

“Most students today do not live on farms,” Guttadore said. “Days like these give students an opportunity to learn about where their food comes from.”          

Members of the Greenville FFA provided and served lunch for the children. They sat on bales of straw on an almost perfect weather day to enjoy their noontime lunch of ham sandwiches, apple, cookies, and water.

This program has been a tradition for the FFA for many years and each year we try to add something new and different. This year we added a station dealing with Lawn mowers and how to keep safe when in the presence of one. “Safety Awareness Days is a unique opportunity for the younger students to experience agriculture for a day, and learn about being safe in a way they can understand,” stated Guttadore.

We would also like to thank the Greenville Township Fire department and their sidekicks Rage and Walker, Darke Co. YMCA, Spirit Medical Transport, Greenville High Schools Careers with Children program, Darke Co. Senior Fair board, Greenville Street Department, Mrs. Shellenbarger’s hospitalities class at the high school, Mrs. Denise McDade for help with the lunch products, Schlecty Family Farms, Jim and Luann Mann, and all the Alumni, Parents and Members who made this day possible. All of the donations, time, and effort made this great day possible. Thanks again.

FFA Observes Farm Safety Week in Greenville

Several hundred thousand dollars worth of tractors rolled into Greenville High School during Farm Safety Week—ten pieces of agricultural equipment in all.  Their investment—to promote safety on the farm, both today and in the future.

The annual TractorCade, which is held to close up National Farm Safety Week, begins a week of safety activities for members of the Greenville FFA Chapter.  “Our purpose is to promote farm safety on and off the farm,” said Greenville FFA Vice President Thomas Shaw . “We are hoping by recognizing this week and promoting safety, we can help to reduce accidents during this busy harvest season.”

National Farm Safety Week is more than showing off tractors to friends and neighbors as members show parade tractors in front of Greenville High School.  It is planting the seed of safety into the minds of the community

 

“This is the FFA’s way of promoting safety in a positive way,” Shaw said. “I enjoy seeing all the tractors, of course, but it really says something when you see this many kids come together and want to promote safety.”

 

Shaw said the need to practice safety, while sharing the roads with farm implements and motorized vehicles, is a year round practice motorists need to remember. “National Farm Safety Week is just that –a week. Safety should be practiced year round though,” he said.

As a promotional feature, students wore T-shirts, which observed the special week and highlighted its meaning.  Students will wear their shirts throughout the year, which will remind individuals of the real meaning of Farm Safety Week—safety for the year.

Figure 1: Pictured are Austin Kruckeberg, Kelsi Sleppy, and Truong Nguyen

Four seniors in the Computer Information Systems (CIS) program in the Career Tech Center at Greenville High School spent time this summer helping the district get ready for the school year.  Kelsi Sleppy, Truong Nguyen, Zach Ditmar, and Austin Kruckeberg were hired to help with the imaging and setting up of over 230 new computers in all the district’s buildings.  The students installed the computers and did all the network cabling for new computer labs in each of the five buildings of the district under the direction of the Network Administrators.  They have just recently completed the installation of the remaining new computers by placing computers in the teachers’ classrooms at the Primary and Intermediate buildings.  The students will be representing Greenville City Schools at the Ohio School Board Association (OSBA) conference at Columbus in November.  This will be the third year in a row the CIS program has been asked to be a part of this conference.  The program was selected as one of three programs in the state to be recognized as Outstanding by the OSBA at their October meeting.

Each summer, the juniors are given a chance to apply for a job over the summer. It provides a good hands-on learning experience for the students as well as much needed help in getting technology ready for a new school year. After school starts, they work on an “as needed” basis after the school day. CIS is a two-year program with an intense focus on computers and networking. It is a Cisco Networking Academy where students have the opportunity to earn up to 40 semester hours of college credit on a Sinclair or Edison transcript. CIS is also an Ohio Board of Regents CTAG program where the students earn credit that is guaranteed to be accepted at any public college in the state. The program is open to any junior or senior in Darke County. CIS is taught by Mr. Nathan Sharp and Mr. Robert Warner.

Greenville City Schools Completes Ohio EPA Clean Diesel School Bus Grant Work

Greenville owns and operates 29 school buses. Twenty of these buses are used for daily bus routes. The other 9 buses are used for field trips, athletic and music events and when a daily route bus is in for service. In 2012 the Ohio EPA awarded a total of $277,885.53 to Ohio schools with $63, 653.00 awarded to Greenville City Schools. These grants were used to install pollution control equipment on 75 buses, 13 of them being Greenville buses. These grants were also used to install idle reduction technology on 68 buses with 19 of them, Greenville school buses. Across Ohio, these projects will achieve an estimated annual reduction of 262.2 pounds of fine particulates, plus more than 3 tons of annual reductions in carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons. These grants are supported with funds from civil penalties collected by Ohio EPA for violations of Ohio’s environmental protection laws.

The idle reduction technology comes in the form of a pre-heater which has a timer attached and comes on automatically 90-120 minutes before the bus is started to warm the fluids. This in turn cuts down on emissions from idling and saves the district money by reducing fuel costs and electric use since there is no need to plug in a block heater.

The DOC’s were installed in place of the mufflers and these will reduce emissions from each bus by 15-30%. Students are especially sensitive to air pollution because their respiratory systems are still developing. Students riding Greenville buses will be able to breathe easier with less air pollution coming from their own bus.

Rob Widener, mechanic for Greenville Schools, heard about the Grant and approached his supervisor, Beth Cain, who did all the necessary paperwork to apply for the grant. The EPA staff was very helpful with all questions. Greenville received word they were chosen to receive the grant in November 2012. Cummins Bridgeway was the vendor who ordered the parts and did the installation work. Cummins Bridgeway came to Greenville on January 21^st to install 12 of the 13 DOC’s, all in one day. The last DOC and the 19 pre-heaters were installed at their location in West Chester on various dates in April. Greenville Schools is happy to report the grant work was successfully completed on May 1, 2013.

SCM Helps Community Employment Services

Supply Chain Management students from Greenville High School recently completed a marketing project for Community Employment Services a program within the Darke County Board of Developmental Disabilities.

This fall Tamala Marley, Job Coordinator for CES, approached the Greenville Career Tech Center for assistance in designing a new tri-fold brochure to enhance their marketing program.  The SCM students offered their services and the collaboration began.

Ms. Marley came into the SCM classroom and shared her ideas and goals for the project. The students in both the Junior SCM class and the Senior SCM class got to work in teams of two creating their personal brochure as they understood the goals.  After completion the students reviewed all of the projects and voted on the top three options to submit to the CES program for review.  The winning brochure was selected and a few small revisions made. Ms. Marley’s Team was excited for the creative outcome and look forward to using it to increase awareness for the program in the community.

Senior SCM student  Adam Hickerson, explained, “It was nice to work for a business in our community. The experience taught us how to take others ideas and guidelines to create something that is appreciated and can have a positive impact on the community.”

 The senior SCM students recently toured Wayne Industries to see the how the facility functions and how the brochure will benefit the workers.   While on tour, the students had an opportunity to speak with a Wayne Industries employee. He explained to the students he enjoys working at  both Wayne Industries and Arby’s.  His job at Arby’s is part of the Community Employment Services program!  Jobs like this allow the workers the opportunity to be more self sufficient and successful!  “I enjoyed experiencing the job site of Wayne Industries.  It was neat to see the employees working, but made me realize even more how important this brochure is to allowing them to  make more money and support themselves,” said Brian Bailey after the tour.

Tara Guillozet, the creator of the chosen brochure shares, “Having the opportunity to work with Tamala Marley with CES and create this brochure has given me real life experience. She knew what she wanted. We made it happen!”

Supply Chain Management is a two year program offered at Greenville High School Career Tech Center.  The students study all aspects of logistics, procurement, customer service, and marketing. The program welcomes community involvement and invites area business owners to share their experiences in the classroom. If you are interested in speaking to this group of students please contact, Dara Buchy 93-548-4188 or dbuchy@greenville.k12.oh.us.

South Middle School News

The group of Micah Light, Jacob Mikesell, Tess McClure, and Kassie Cline work on their roller coaster. Sixth grade students recently completed a unit that dealt with energy and force. The amusement park rides are a way to show off that they have learned. The roller coaster, for example, must have enough potential energy at the top of the first hill to over come the friction and wind resistance and still have enough kinetic energy to reach the end of the track. Knowledge of mass vs volume (density) also plays a roll in selecting materials better suited to provide enough energy to reach the end of the track.
