Results of last week's poll:
WORLD PEACE - How do we make it happen?
By thinking of others first. By giving generously to those less fortunate, and by demonstrating peace within our homes first. If we are peaceful at home then we can spread peace to those we know and so on and so forth. We can not spread peace to the world instantly, it takes time
- Mom
Well, world peace can happen in many places like your house or school. We all have to help, not just one person can make world peace. We all have to work together and achieve the ultimate goal.
- Peace, Love and Hope
We send out flyers.
- World peacer
Why don't you take your part in "unpolluting" the world?
You could make a difference. Clean up your neighborhood, ride your bike to school, the store, etc., collect money to stop cigars, and do anything you can do! Don't leave it up to someone else! You can make a difference!
- An important thing
World Peace? Umm, all the countries should stop fighting over everything. Make sure every country is wealthy and is counted in making decisions.
Friendship and communication!
- Former student
Being kind to the world!
- Kid
Pray.
- Mom
Well, first someone in every country, state, city, province, or whatever has to take a stand. After all that's said and done, there should be at least a ten-million person peace march for every continent.
- Peacemaker
We discover a civilization on another planet and then we all team up against a common enemy. Kind of kidding....
- K parent
Give everyone a can of Coke, hold hands, and sing!
- Coke drinker
Don't fight back.
- Sixth grader
Don't worry, be happy!
- Pollo loco
The fundamental cause of war is competition for land, resources, and wealth. This competition can be eliminated by population control and equitable sharing, or by going into space bigtime and getting way more land, resources, and wealth. The second method is the one that might actually happen.
- Opinionated
Everyone working together!
We must be compassionate, honest and truly giving to one another. Life is good when there is support and love that you can count on... We must always give and enjoy the elation of being a giver...What have you done for mankind today ?
- Parent for 32 years
Live by the "Golden Rule." It is that easy in principal.
- Mom
Help the homeless!
- Someone who is alive
It is in changing that things find repose.
War is both father and king of all.
It should be understood that war is the common condition, that strife is justice, and that all things come to pass through the compulsion of strife.
Homer was wrong in saying, "Would that strife might perish from amongst gods and men." For if that were to occur, then all things would cease to exist.
- Heraclitus
Take away human nature; put computer chips in everyone to control human behavior. Also, figure out how to control Earth's climate, develop a universal religion (ha!), stop all scientific research, control the animal kingdom and eradicate all diseases. But, mostly, the first directive listed above.
- Realist
Don't make so many people go to Iraq, end the war, and be a better person.
- Person against the war
A first step has to be new leadership for our country.
- Parent
Can't we all just get along?
- Hopeful
Stop terrorism. The U.S. is doing that right now.
- Cheese stick
With love from everyone.
- Freshman
It could happen if I became nice and everyone else became nice.
I was in a pageant that was on television and I requested world peace. You have to make sure people know about it.
- Princess
I don't think that there is such a thing as world peace. We won't get rid of guns, because the argument will go on about how it's for safety and defense. And as long as we have people, we're going to have criminals. World peace is a myth that we want to believe, just like Big Foot.
- Eighth grader
No war.
- Someone
Hypnotize everybody to think that the world is at peace and if somebody steps out of line - shoot them with a tranquilizer gun and take away all weapons and memory of weapons or how to make them. If people would just cooperate and stop fighting over "religion" (a.k.a. land) and everybody would use their conscience to know that it is bad to kill people.
- Peace out
Treat others as you want to be treated. This includes overall kindness, lending a hand, driving the speed limit, letting people in line with only one grocery item, smiling - all those little things that add up to greater things.
- Mom
How Banks Work
The Bank of St. Petersburg was kind enough to host Boy Scout Troop 303 on Monday to educate them about how banks work. David Miles and his co-workers graciously toured the students, showing them the vault, the safety deposit boxes, and how to roll coins. Each child was given a "goodie" bag, as well as a silver dollar and the coins they rolled... and a keepsake security camera photo!

Tuesday was Trustee Day. Members of the Board of Trustees spent the day touring highlights of each Division, ending with a group lunch.
Early Childhood
Middle Division Friends
Twenty-six sixth grade students are volunteering in the Early Childhood classes during their second semester. Each of them visits their assigned class one day a week to help during the transition from lunch to rest time. They help the children clean up from lunch and get out their resting items, and they read to them.
Watching the interaction between the older and younger children is truly delightful. It's especially fun to have so many former EC students returning to the place they got their start at Shorecrest!
Dolphins, Rays and More
We're not talking about sports teams, but about some of the types of sea life the Junior Kindergartners saw and learned about at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium this week! The children came back very excited about watching the handlers feed the otters and dolphins.
They learned interesting facts about sharks and other marine life and loved the touch tank with the sting rays. The giant turtle shell they were allowed to try on was just about the right size for their backs. This was one of the favorite trips so far this year!
Gingerbread Galore
The Alpha classes have been doing special gingerbread activities. The students listened to a few versions of "The Gingerbread Man" and decorated paper gingerbread people with a variety of collage materials. They enjoyed playing in the gingerbread house their clever teachers created from the loft.
On Friday, the culmination of the unit came during exploring when the children made gingerbread people for snack by flattening the dough, using cookie cutters, then adding features and buttons before baking and eating them. Another special edible craft was making flat gingerbread houses using graham crackers, icing, and candy decorations. These elaborate houses were taken home to share with their families.
Upper Division
Senior Retreat
The Class of 2006 spent the first few days of second semester on the annual Senior Retreat at Cedarkirk. [more photos]
In a natural old-Florida landscape, they tackled the high ropes and other challenge courses and went canoeing on an undeveloped stretch of the Alafia River. The Seniors also engaged in some diversity training, took a night hike, did a solo "walk in the woods," and enjoyed the camaraderie of a Memory Fire with music and s'mores.
Tired but happy, the Class returned to Shorecrest Friday afternoon, rested up over the weekend, and began second semester in earnest on Monday.
New StudentNatalie S. has joined the Shorecrest Class of 2009 and the girls varsity basketball team as well. She comes to us from Cleveland. Welcome to Shorecrest, Natalie! |

Shorecrest's Membership in the Cum Laude Society is Renewed
On the basis of its first ten-year chapter review, Shorecrest's membership in the Cum Laude Society has been renewed "with enthusiasm." The review consists of a detailed update on changes in the faculty, the school's facilities, its course offerings, and overall program which have occurred since we were recognized as a Cum Laude Society chapter in 1995. It also includes an anonymous profile of the last three years' of Shorecrest students inducted into the Society including GPAs, standardized test scores, AP scores, and college matriculation.
The society's board of regents and officers were "impressed by (Shorecrest's) performance" during its first ten years of membership and expressed pleasure that we belong to the society.
Middle Division
Wave News
Oceanography students use slinkies to visualize properties of ocean waves.
Subsequently, the eighth graders are designing oceans with beaches including designed waves. Wave tubes are being created to observe deep, transitional and shallow waves.
History Fair News
Thirty-one Middle Division students [photo] will represent Shorecrest at the Pinellas County History Fair on February 3, 2006 at East Lake High School. This is the fourth year that Shorecrest has competed in the county history fair, which is a step in the national competition set up by the National History Day Organization.
This year's theme is "Taking a Stand in History: People, Ideas, Events," and the students could enter four categories, including historical paper, exhibit, documentary, or performance. Those who place first and second at the county competition are invited to compete in the Florida State History Fair competition in Tallahassee in May. Good luck, Chargers!
A Walk on the Moon
The sixth graders will have a morning field trip on Thursday, Jan. 19 to view the movie Magnificent Desolation - Walking on the Moon. This a 3-D IMAX movie narrated by Tom Hanks that will enhance the unit on astronomy the students are currently studying. The students are also working on a technology project that involves playing the roles of astronauts who have returned from a mission in space. They are working in small groups preparing a PowerPoint project that will be used to enhance a simulated news conference. The young astronauts will detail the events and discoveries on their mission to the media!
Let Us Reiterate
"Reiterate" means to " say again." It is from the Latin iterum, meaning "a second time." That is what the Middle Division Latin students have done. For the second year they have had their say at the annual Mini Latin Forum at Lakeside Ranch High School in Bradenton. This is an invitational tournament for area Latin students in all levels. This year, nine students met at 7 a.m. on a cold Saturday morning, January 7, to compete once again. All nine students placed even when going up against high school upper level Latin students. The achievements are:
- Jesse H. - 7th place in Derivatives, level 2
- Jacob F. - 8th place - in Derivatives, level 2
- Stephanie G. - 2nd place in Derivatives, level 1 and 2nd place in Mottoes, level 1
- Mackenzie F. - 4th place in Derivatives, level 1 and 6th place in Vocabulary, level 1
- Maxwell G. - 3rd place in Vocabulary, level 1
- Matt I. - 5th place in both Derivatives and Mythology, level 1
- Nick V. -1st place in Grammar, level 1
- Clark G. - 4th place in Mythology, Advanced and 5th place in Customs, Advanced
- Parth D. - 6th place in History, Advanced and 3rd place in Mottoes, Advanced
Petar Y. was scheduled to compete but became ill at the last minute.
A special thank you to Mr. John Forney who helped chaperone.
These students are already planning to return to the scene of their triumph next year complete with team t-shirts!
Color Guard
The Sher Center Middle Division students dedicate their morning sessions to pledging their allegiance to the American flag. Color guards from both the fifth and sixth grades volunteer to place the flag in front of the students and then initiate the pledge.
This week Nick N. and Zack M. are graciously participating in the morning tradition.
Locker Cleanliness
Fifth grade students have been working hard at keeping their lockers neat and organized during the first semester. The fifth grade team of teachers are very proud of the efforts of these wonderfully responsible fifth graders. Thank you, students.
TIP Update
This Wednesday 39 seventh graders attended the TIP Math Help Session for the SAT, given by Mrs. Beth Wall, chair of the Upper Division Math Department. This was a great session where Mrs. Wall concentrated on test directions and strategies to familiarize students with what to expect on their big test day January 28. The second Help Session will be held Wednesday, January 18, with a similar format but concentrating on the verbal and writing areas. It will be conducted by Dr. Emerson Littlefield, chair of the Upper Division English Department. This session will be held in the Student Activity Center at 3:15.
Garrett Staples
On January 10, seventh and eighth graders gathered for a moment of silence at Garrett's Garden to mark the first anniversary of his passing. Mementos are often placed in the garden throughout the year, and his classmates remember him always.
Lower Division
Geography Bee
The Lower Division is proud of fourth graders Skyler E. and Nick B. for competing in the school finals.
They each received a Geography Resource Book at the flagpole honoring their desire to learn more about the world.
Fourth Grade Guidance
Lower Division students have been learning about group dynamics this month in guidance. Fourth graders were challenged to accurately re-construct an object 
made out of Zoobs. The tricky part is that only the visionaries on the team know what the finished object looks like. They share this verbal information with the messengers who then relay the information to the builders. Add a time limit and three other teams, and it really gets interesting. As always, we process each activity at the end. Students were able to relate this experience to how rumors get out of hand, communicating with on-line friends, and group projects in the classroom.
Lower Division Art BAAIS
Shorecrest hosted the Lower Division Art BAAIS meeting on Tuesday, January 10 [photo]. Thirteen teachers from ten different schools were represented, including Canterbury, Wellington, St. Paul's, St. Stephen's, Admiral Farragut Academy, Independent Day School, St. Mary's Episcopal Day School, St. John's Episcopal, Out of Door Academy, and Shorecrest of course. We shared ideas for projects, discussed curriculum and special event planning, and toured our beautiful campus. The visiting teachers got a chance to see each of our visual arts classrooms and meet our art teachers and students.
Citizen of the Month
Congratulations to our citizens of the month for December:
- First Grade - Mackenzie M.
- Second Grade - Leigh C.
- Third Grade - Tatum L.
- Fourth Grade - Victoria B.
These students exemplify the life skills we teach and practice here at Shorecrest. Thank you, parents, for instilling these wonderful values in your children. You would be pleased to know that they are modeling what you taught them. Thank you for being partners with us in this most important endeavor.
Scooters can really spice up a lesson. First graders used scooters with short-handled hockey sticks as a fun way to work on their hand-eye coordination.
