Focused on FITNESS A Healthy Lifestyle Section Michael R. Alford Certified Personal Trainer

Mr. Alford earned a B.S. degree in Health & Exercise Science from Northwestern State University of Louisiana. His boot-camp fitness program consists of 3 day weekly 45-minute sessions designed to improve overall health through stretching, core strength training, and cardiovascular exercise. He also provides meal plans tailored to meet individual needs and regular body measurement assessments to monitor improvements.

The division is grateful to have Mr. Alford as an academic and FITNESS expert who helps students as well as staff members reach their fullest potential! ~Philosophy~

I believe an active body is a healthy body, and a healthy body can help you be the best you can be. I also believe in being a role model for today’s youth. What they see, they know to be true, and seeing a strong role model with a healthy lifestyle is a wonderful message to pass on to our future generations. As a personal trainer/aerobic instructor, I welcome the opportunity to guide and motivate people at all fitness levels towards achieving their fitness and wellness goals.

I enjoy working with individuals of all levels of fitness. I want to motivate people to create and maintain a healthy lifestyle. I find it very exciting to work with individuals new to exercise, just returning, or looking for a challenge in their current program. I believe I can motivate and encourage all to reach and surpass individual goals.

Focused on FITNESS A Healthy Lifestyle Section Fitness Class Click to view ↓

The Focused on Fitness section of the Innovative Edge seeks to encourage all division staff and MCS employees to adopt healthy lifestyles through a variety of health and wellness information.

This section will also highlight health & fitness success stories of staff members in the Innovative & Charter Schools family.

In our busy and hectic field of work it’s important to focus on FITNESS for 3 main reasons: 1) Physical activity boosts metabolism. The more active you are, the thinner you will be and the healthier you will be. Also, when you exercise regularly (3-5 days weekly) and live an active lifestyle, you’ll be able to consume more calories while still maintaining a healthy weight.

2) Physical fitness promotes mental and emotional fitness. When you’re physically active, your entire body, mind and emotional state reap the benefits. Not only do you have more energy, better balance, flexibility and strength, you also enjoy better concentration, a more positive mood, and better sleep.

3) Physical activity provides stress relief. Being physically fit also helps you reduce and manage stress better, which helps keep your weight down. Stress is a major contributor of stored belly fat, because higher levels of the hormone cortisol are released into your bloodstream when you feel stressed. That can cause a lot of unnecessary fat storage in your midsection. Regular exercise kills two birds with one stone: 1) burning off any stored fat, and 2) helping you release stress so you don’t store more.

It helps long term to work towards getting FIT rather than just weight loss. You don’t have to be an athlete to be fit!

Just include regular exercise in your routine several times a week. That alone goes a long way in helping you lose weight easier and provide a ton of other health-boosting benefits.

Focused on FITNESS A Healthy Lifestyle Section Our Staff Fitness Model Dr. James Suggs Hamilton Success Academy, Site Administrator A CHANGE FOR THE BETTER

Dr. James Suggs - before

Dr. James Suggs involvement in the Healthy Church Challenge was not motivated by weight loss. The 34-year old principal of Hamilton Success Academy admits that he initially had no goals for weight loss, but he was interested in the program because of the prizes.

He decided to see what the fuss was about and attended the first meeting at his church, Cummings Street Baptist Church. Suggs, who says his nemesis in weight loss is soft drinks or flavored liquids, quit cold turkey and drank only water for a month. He lost a drastic 10 pounds. He continued drinking water only and stopped eating meals after 7 p.m. Again, the pounds began to shed. “I got the hang of it,” he says.

Dr. James Suggs - after

It was not until a month later when a routine check-up turned into an ambulance ride, that things became real for Suggs. He spent 12 hours in the emergency room for hypertension and was put on medication. “it wasn’t about the prizes,” he says. “it was about changing my whole lifestyle around.”

For the next three months, he made exercise a priority, either working out at 24 Hour Fitness or participating in activities with church members through the Healthy Church Challenge. Dr. Suggs highest weight was 450 pounds. He now weighs 358 pounds, but his goal is 350 pounds. He plans to do something special to celebrate his 100-pound loss mark.

Dr. Suggs was honored at the 2007 Sisterhood Showcase as the Healthy Church Challenge overall winner. He and his wife took their own trip to Las Vegas as a reward.

Dr. Suggs’ has greater expectations for himself. He plans to focus on weight training, instead of cardiovascular exercise. “This year I have a better take on it. It’s a little harder when you don’t see the pounds drop quickly.

My goal is to lose strictly body fat.”

He adds with a laugh, “The pressure is on me because I’m the defending champ.”

NWPA Visits Belz’s Museum of Asian and Judaic Art Mrs. Myrna Gammon's World History class visited the Belz's Museum of Asian and Judaic Art. The group continued their multicultural experience with lunch at Wang's Bistro. When asked to review the fieldtrip, the students had the following statements: Miss Maya Swift reported that her favorite part of the tour was viewing the ivory pagoda.

The pagoda was a school with many levels of rooms with each floor representing a higher level of learning. Ms. Swift also stated that she wanted to return to the museum and view more works of art.

Mr. Lawrence James stated that he enjoyed the museum and seeing sculptures made of jade and ivory, but his favorite part was eating sweet’n’sour chicken at Wang’s for lunch.

Mr. Jay Dodson said that he thought the entire trip was fun, and he enjoyed learning about the various Chinese dynasties and sampling the vast array of food available on the buffet.

All of the students and the chaperones agreed that the trip was a success, and they are eager to explore more educational learning opportunities available in Memphis.

Martin Luther King Transition Center Alabama A&M University Ladies Volleyball Team Visits MLK The Ladies Volleyball Team from Alabama A&M University paid a visit to the Martin Luther King, Jr. Academy. Coach Nedra Brown is a family friend of MLK Principal, Mr. C. R. Daniel. Mr. Daniel organized the visit, which took place prior to a game against the University of Memphis. Coach Brown, who is from Memphis originally, formerly coached volleyball at both Hillcrest High School and LeMoyne Owen College. She is responsible for leading multiple teams to championships and is a strong voice for students. While at MLK, students watched the team warm up and practice. Some of our students were given the opportunity to play with the team members on the volleyball court. In preparation for this event, MLK students researched the history of both volleyball and Alabama A&M University. Students learned the rules of the game, as many had never been exposed to volleyball. Monterrio Beasley, Andrew Burnside, and Keenan KarimJones were rewarded with a free school shirt for their level of participation. Thank you Mr. Daniel and Coach Brown for coordinating this event!

Martin Luther King Transition Center

1st Quarter College Visit at MLK Several colleges throughout the Mid South visited MLK Academy during the first grading quarter in an effort to recruit potential graduates. Students were provided information about each college/university and given the opportunity to apply. Information provided included the history of the college/university, major offered, admissions requirements, and costs. Visits were provided by LeMoyne Owen College, Lane College, and The University of Memphis.

Additionally, Felicia Orr from the Tennessee Student Assistance Corporation (TSAC) visited MLK potential graduates as well. Dr. Jeffrey Taylor, Professional School Counselor, organized the visit in an effort to be proactive in preparing students for the costs associated with attending postsecondary institutions and placing students in position to obtain as much financial aid as possible. Felicia Orr, who represents TSAC for West Tennessee, presented and will be back in December for another presentation. The two presentations are designed to prepare students for the 2012-13 school year. Students were informed that they need to complete their Free Application for Federal Student Aid between January 1, 2012 and February 1, 2012 in order to receive the maximum amount of state and federal aid. Stay tuned for future TSAC meeting dates at MLK!

Martin Luther King Transition Center Organization of Black Aerospace Professionals The Organization of Black Aerospace Professionals visited MLK Academy.

The purpose of their visit was to encourage young people of color to pursue a career in the field of Aerospace. Tony Holder, Jason Farmer, Craig Greer, and Carol Gentry were the presenters. All have a background in some Aerospace field. A power point and video were shown to entice our visual learners and students were awarded the opportunity to ask questions. Perhaps some will have the opportunity to attend a summer camp related to the Aerospace field!

Stay tuned for more updates!

Counselor Attends Conference in Indianapolis Dr. Jeffrey Taylor, Professional School Counselor at MLK Academy, recently attended a conference sponsored by the National Council on Educating Black Children. The purpose of the conference was to discuss best practices for educating African American Males. The conference consisted of a panel discussion and the panel consisted of Dr. Rod Paige, former U.S. Secretary of Education; Marcus Robinson, CEO of EdPower; Dr. Eugene Sanders, former Superintendent of Cleveland Public Schools and CEO of American Consulting Services LLC; Dr. Ivory Toldson, Associate Professor of Educational Psychology at Howard University, College of Education, and Antwan Wilson, Assistant Superintendent of Denver Public Schools. From the conference came two great ideas which may be applied at MLK in the near future: 1) An adult literacy project, and 2) A service learning project which pairs alzhemers patients with youth for the purpose of memory retention. Stay tuned for more details on both potential projects!

Martin Luther King Transition Center MLK Students Learn to Drive Keeping with the districts requirement for all students who entered 9th grade during the 2009-10 school year, and all subsequent years, many MLK students were enrolled in online driver’s education.

Teachers Donna Wright and Mr. Person were assigned as the driving teachers.

The students enjoyed learning the rules of the road. Most were committed to completing their hours behind the wheel, despite having to remain after school to do so. We are proud of our student drivers at MLK Academy!

ACT Testing

MLK Academy participates in a number of ACT tests. All 10th graders participated in the ACT Plan, which measures skills tested on the actual ACT and shows students where their strengths and weaknesses lie. All 8th graders participated in the ACT Explore, which basically does the same thing that the ACT Plan does, but at the 8th grade level. Dr. Taylor provided parents and students with an orientation to explain the purpose of the test. Scores will be explained by the professional school counselor once they arrive. Additionally, most 12th graders have been registered for the ACT Test. Registration for the ACT Test will continue as the 2012 school year progresses and will be given to all MLK 11th Graders in March. Stay tuned for more information and encourage all high school students to get a state identification card or drivers license, as a photo I.D. is required in order to be admitted to an ACT Testing Center!

Once again Mr. Bobby Towns, Northwest Prep Caseworker, shared his skills and talents as a Certified Golf Instructor and provided mini golf sessions for students and families. Mr. Towns states that golf is a healthy sport which can also assist persons in behavioral areas such as mental focus and discipline. We continued our partnership with Christ Community Health Services which provided health services for the public which included blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar screenings. This was the third year of partnership with the Pine Hill Golf Course and Christ Community Clinic to expose Innovative School families and the community to healthy choice activities and opportunities to receive free health services. It was also the first opportunity for some of our students and parents to be exposed to the popular sport of golf.

Students in attendance to Service on Saturday activities earn credit towards volunteer hours required during Innovative School enrollment. Congratulations to the students and staff at Humes Academy, Northside Academy and Northwest Prep Academy for their excellent participation in this service activity!
