Eastern students earning leadership skills Mrs. Becky Cropper with the OSU Extension is working with our middle school Warrior PRIDE club students. The students are completing a five day leadership course. This interactive course has students work together and individually to define leadership skills, values, and actions. The students also took time to identify role models and key characteristics of leaders. On day four of the course students will learn about right brain versus left brain learning styles. The closing day is spent modeling study skills activities and a

self esteem project. Becky has given the students a fresh approach to qualities of good leaders. The Warrior PRIDE students enjoyed the action packed program. Devon Rios, a 7th grade student in Warrior PRIDE enjoyed the auction, which taught the students about the value of a dollar. Chance Amburgey and DJ Pitts thought the obstacle the first day was really fun and challenging. The students worked great with Becky and learned so much for this program. Be prepared world, our future leaders at Eastern Middle School are in training!

Science colors our world As part of their studies of the elements of the Periodic Table, the eighth grade students at Hamersville Middle School discovered that different elements created different colored flames while being burned. Under the supervision of their science teacher, Terri Furnas, the students burned various salts, recorded their elemental names, and the color flame produced by each element. They connected this knowledge to their previous study of astronomy by discussing that along with tools such as a spectroscope, astronomers can tell which elements are contained in the

stars by the specific elemental spectral lines that serve as “fingerprints” for the elements just as the specific flame colors did.
