[ GWINNETT SCHOOLS ] Perfect ACT and SAT Scores for Parkview High and Shiloh High Students Two Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) students will have an impressive college application after earning a perfect score on a college-entrance exam. Parkview High’s Cong “Tom” Hui earned a perfect score on the SAT, while Matthew Faulkner of Shiloh High scored perfection on the ACT. Both Gwinnett students are currently seniors in high school earning the perfect score last school year as juniors. Shiloh High’s Faulkner is one of only four students in Georgia to achieve perfection on the ACT when he took it last April. Only 268 of test takers from around the world earned the highest composite score possible. The test is scored on a scale of 1 to 36. It consists of subtests in English, mathematics, reading, and science reasoning. A student’s composite score is the average of the four subtest scores. Parkview High’s Hui earned a 2400 on the SAT college admission test, scoring a perfect 800 on each of its three sections - critical reading, mathematics, and writing. The college entrance exams assess high school students’ general educational development and their ability to complete college-level work. The score is used by colleges and universities as a college entrance tool to predict how well students will perform at the postsecondary level.
39 GCPS Seniors Named National Merit Semifinalists Close to 40 Gwinnett County Public
Schools (GCPS) students are on their way to earning one of the nation’s most prestigious scholarships. The high school seniors were recently named semifinalists for the National Merit Scholarship Program, earning the status based on their college-entrance exam scores. The 2010 National Merit Semifinalists from Gwinnett can be found on Gwinnett County Schools’ website at www.gwinnett.k12.ga.us. These 39 students from 10 different Gwinnett high schools are among approximately 16,000 semifinalists nationwide competing for some 8,200 National Merit Scholarships, worth more than $36 million. The scholarships will be awarded next spring. These academically talented students will now continue in the competition by taking the next step as finalists. That level is determined by looking at the student’s outstanding academic record throughout high school, an endorsement/recommendation by the school principal, and SAT scores that confirm the student’s earlier qualifying test performance. The semifinalist must submit a detailed scholarship application, which includes a selfdescriptive essay and information about the semifinalist’s participation and leadership in school and community activities. More than 1.5 million students in over 22,000 high schools entered the competition last school year as juniors by taking the 2008 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, which served as the initial screening for program entrants. The semifinalists named in the 2010 National Merit Scholarship Program are the highest scoring entrants in each state.

The Secret Formula to Earning By: Jeff Haig
A Grades
S
o why is it that many top students continuously ace their courses, making it look effortless, while other students struggle to get by earning “C” grades? Is it about the differences in work ethic, habits, and character that lead these students to success? Or is there a formula that helps them achieve their lofty academic goals each year? While it’s true that many Astudents are hard workers, it isn’t just about spending hours hitting the books. Most successful students have created strategies that work for them – and follow through with a plan of action. These fundamentals are accessible to anyone, including poor- or average-performing students! In fact, anyone who has a sincere desire to learn more and earn higher grades can, and will, with enough determination. So what does it take to ace that extradifficult calculus course or the honors class on English literature? You might be surprised to learn that earning A’s in any class comes down to a systematic approach to learning. There are three foundational principles you must learn, along with their underlying components, in order to find academic achievement. These principles are:
Principle #1: Develop the proper work ethic Principle #2: Be smart in how you learn Principle #3: Always be proactive! Imagine … these three simple principles can make a difference between a C or D grade, or an A grade – not to mention chances at earning top honors. At first, this system may seem a little simple, but these fundamentals are the core of what make A-students successful.
Local Parent Magazine of Gwinnett County
www.GwinnettParents.com
The main goal of these principles is to create a strategy for studying that will help you ace your courses and become a high-achieving student. The strategy may include: • Studying in half-hour or hour increments for each class or project • Setting your goals for each course, and a timeframe for reaching those goals • Utilizing effective time management skills • Knowing where to study for the best results – perhaps not the crowded coffee shop around the corner, but rather the library or your quiet dorm room • Finding the way you learn best so that you can maximize your results It’s also about knowing how to be a “smart” learner – what works for your classmates may not be the right strategy for you. In addition, you have to maximize the limited time you have, and create daily strategies during each of the three phases of learning, which occur before, during, and after class. The A students know that it’s crucial to the success formula that each of these three phases of learning is optimized to its fullest potential. To maximize your results, try the following strategies and techniques: • Pre-read your course material and write down any questions or highlight areas as you go along • Utilize the course syllabus optimally, and following along week by week, not just during the first day of class • Take thorough and dynamic class notes, rather than relying on books or study guides • Actively listen and participate in the course • Understand how to effectively prewww.GwinnettParents.com
pare for quizzes and final exams, whether by using flash cards, mnemonics or even drawings and cartoons to learn A-level students understand that you must be proactive in each class – it’s not enough to learn as you go. Being proactive means going above and beyond the typical student’s efforts to ensure effective learning of subject matter. For some, it may mean seeking additional resources to help learn course material. This includes attending instructors’ office hours, seeking assistance from a tutor, and networking at school to share information, study, and exchange questions and answers. These proactive strategies help ensure A grades in coursework, a mastery of subject matter, and that a student will learn to his or her fullest potential. Becoming a top-performing student begins with the right mindset and then incorporating the three foundational principles into your daily schedule. Topperforming students are confident in their abilities, have high expectations for themselves, and take the action necessary to produce the desired results. Following these principles is at the core of what being a top student is all about. Develop the proper mindset now and then execute on these principles outlined here so that you can create your desired outcome.

Handle Peer Pressure
very day the teen girl in your life faces many decisions. Some are as simple as deciding what to wear and how she will blend in with her peers at school. Others may ultimately be choices between life and death. Most girls face immense pressure to fit in and to be accepted by the crowd. As a parent standing in the sidelines it is painful and hard to watch. The good news is, whether you have a great relationship with her or not, you can help. As you read the following tips, keep in mind that many of these suggestions aren’t based on having a deep discussion with the teen in your life. At the same time, if you want to be able to talk with her more, try to find common ground. Don’t just jump into a discussion about her friends. Maybe you both love music, or fashion, or getting outdoors -- start there. Acting first, instead of talking, may lend some relief. For example, suggest going to her favorite restaurant, or joining her as she does something she loves. Just remember, it is very, very common for parents to have hot and cold relationships with their kids during their teens

years – male or female. Regardless of the temperature of the relationship, the following six tips can be utilized. 1) How does she handle peer pressure now? Start by asking yourself these important questions: Can she think for herself? Can she slow herself down enough to think clearly? Can she disagree with her friends and be okay with it? Can she listen to her gut? Answering these questions will help you sort out where you can be of most help. 2) Remember… she’s watching you. She is never going to tell you she’s watching, but she is. She watches your conversations, reactions, and relationships. Maybe you had a difficult decision to make at work and were the only one who disagreed with the team, but you said so. Let her know and talk about what you did and how it was resolved. Your example will teach her more than you can ever tell her. 3) Teach her how to think for herself. Let her have responsibility and be involved in the decision making. It also means she learns to listen to, and fol-

low her gut. Start with simple things like deciding which movie to go to or how to spend her weekends. When she has a tough decision, like choosing between two favorite activities, help her think it through without giving her the answer. 4) Watch closely for changes in behavior. Pay close attention to what is going on in her life and who she is hanging out with. If you see any major changes in her behavior - from sleeping, dressing, eating, or how much time she spends at home - these could be signs that she is dealing with a lot of peer pressure or other issues, and needs help. 5) Be a good listener. Perhaps the most important tip. The last thing she wants you to do is tell her how to solve her problems. Listen to her and let her know you’re there for her. Try asking open-ended questions that re-

quire her to think and answer more than your typical “yes” or “no. For example: What would be the pros or cons or making that choice? Who would it impact the most? What is your gut telling you to do? If you show her you can listen more than talk, she’ll be sure to come back next time she needs to talk or be listened to. Both are good signs. 6) Lay Down the Law. Safety always comes first. It’s not always easy to lay down the law and follow through on consequences. If her peers are negatively impacting her and you are fearful for her, don’t be afraid to set the rules and stick to them. Your daughter needs you. The peer pressure teens face daily weigh heavily on their shoulders and can be consuming. Having you on her side will make all the difference.

Georgia Children at Risk for
Undetected Vision Problems
Report Highlights Best and Worst State Laws to Protect Kids’ Vision While Georgia children are required to have a vision screening prior to entering school, children who fail a screening are not required to receive follow-up care. Since 80 percent of what children learn is through visual processing of information, untreated vision problems can severely impact a child’s cognitive development. A new report by The Vision Council, Making the Grade? finds Georgia’s laws regarding vision assessment demonstrate an important first step in protecting children’s vision, but could go further to ensure Georgia’s children are prepared to learn this school year with healthy, corrected vision. The Vision Council’s Making the Grade? report examines the importance of early detection of vision problems for children and provides detailed information on which states across the U.S. require children to receive a vision screening or eye exam prior to entering school. Since the report was first issued in 2005, 14 states have enacted or enhanced laws regarding vision assessment for school-age children. “Tremendous progress has been made since the first Making the
Grade? report was published and many states are recognizing the critical connection between vision and learning,” said Ed Greene, CEO of The Vision Council. “Still more can be done in Georgia to ensure that children enter school ready to learn.” Key findings of the report include: • Nine states do not require children to receive a vision assessment before starting school or while enrolled; • Thirty-nine states (including the District of Columbia) require a vision screening for children entering school, however 32 of these states do not mandate any follow-up care for children who fail the screening; and • Three states require all children to receive a comprehensive eye exam by an eye care professional before entering elementary school. While the report finds that many states are enhancing their requirements for vision assessments, most states, including Georgia, do not include provisions for adequate followup care. The estimated number of children who do not receive follow-up care from an eye care professional after a failed screening varies signifi-

cantly; anywhere from 40 to nearly 70 percent. “Early detection is critical when it comes to vision problems,� said ophthalmologist Jean Ramsey, MD, MPH. “The sooner a potential vision problem is detected; the sooner treatment can begin, avoiding any potential for permanent vision loss.� Many common vision problems could be missed without a comprehensive eye exam. These undetected vision problems can affect a child’s cognitive, emotional, neurologic and physical development by potentially limiting the range of experiences and kinds of information to which the child is exposed. Consequently vision conditions can impact a child’s performance in extracurricular and recreational activities like music and sports.
The Vision Council recommends that parents follow the professional recommendations for eye exams and urges all parents to be alert for the warning signs of potential vision disorders in children including: Squinting, closing or covering on eye Constantly holding materials close to the face Tilting the head to one side Rubbing eyes repeatedly One or both eye turn in or out Redness or tearing in eyes. It is important that these warning signs be reported to your child’s healthcare provider. Additionally, parents and teachers should also be aware of the risk factors for poor vision, including premature birth, developmental delays, a family history of “lazy eye� or strong prescriptions and diseases that affect the whole body, such as diabetes, sickle cell anemia or HIV.

[ FITNESS & EXERCISE ]
Get Back to Basics Easy Ways to Fuel Up and Stay Fit
B
usy schedules can make it harder to eat right and stay fit. That’s why California Raisins and celebrity fitness trainer Valerie Waters have teamed up to create simple solutions for fueling families all school year long. “Just because budgets have tightened doesn’t mean families have to cut back on healthy eating and exercise,” says Waters. “In fact, natural foods are more likely to pack a greater nutritional punch and fitness doesn’t need to be attached to workout machines or hefty gym membership fees.” Waters is known for helping celebrity moms stay fit while juggling demanding work and family schedules. Waters offers the following basic tips for parents who want to help keep their families healthy and active all year long: Plan, prepare and pack. Don’t let piano
lessons and soccer practice derail healthy eating. Have a plan in place. Set aside time on a Sunday evening to pack your refrigerator and pantry with items like pre-cut veggies, pre-packaged California Raisins, cubed cheese and hard-boiled eggs to quickly prepare grab-and-go lunches. Also, think doubleduty. When cooking meat items such as chicken, prepare enough to slice and serve in a sandwich, salad or wrap for lunches and cook a few extra servings with every meal to serve throughout the week to avoid grabbing take-out when under a time crunch. Redefine play time. Fitness is fun when it’s a family affair and when you think outside of the box. There are no rules about what fitness should look like; in fact, some of the best workouts are gained through the games we played as a child. Try activities like playing tag. When you run, stop and start, it’s a great

exercise for your muscles and coordination. Also, try going outside to play catch or taking a family bike ride after dinner. Fitness doesn’t have to be formal and everyone benefits from moving and being together. Play with your food. There’s no better way to introduce new fruits and veggies into your child’s lunch box than a fun trip to your local farmer’s market or your next grocery store visit. Making them a part of the decision process will increase their chances of trying new things and develop healthier eating habits Allow children to sample and select the fruits or veggies you will prepare for dinner and pack in their school lunches. On average, it takes 8 to 12 tries for a child to accept new foods, so be patient. Take a coffee table break. Demanding schedules often force fitness regimes to the wayside. But working out doesn’t mean expensive memberships and hours at the gym. It can be as simple as moving your coffee table and making space in your living room to do a short 25 to 30 minute strengthtraining circuit. What’s most important is that moms build their day around this time and be consistent. Even if it’s just 15 minutes a day, you will burn calories and gain energy.

[ PARTY PLANNING ]
Hosting A Holiday Party by Blanca Robinson
es, it’s the holiday season –- and it’s coming at full-speed! This is the year you’ve decided to host a holiday PARTY. So, how far along are you with your preparations? It’s not too late to begin planning, but you need to get your act together quickly so you can have a fun, stress-free event that you will ENJOY alongside your guests. Carefully thought-out planning and scheduling can make your party flow seamlessly. Here are a few things to consider.
Y
Who, What, When and Where First and foremost, decide on a date and time, a location, and the number of guests to be invited. Once these very important preliminaries are done, a BUDGET will be easier to come up with. And, yes, a budget is important as expenses can easily get out of control. Keep all your party arrangements in one location, such as a notebook or BINDER -- so you can quickly and easily refer back to them as needed. 22 Local Parent Magazine of Gwinnett County
www.GwinnettParents.com
Inviting Your Guest Now let’s get to the fun stuff: How will you CONTACT everyone? Will you be mailing invitations or will you just phone? I personally recommend a printed invitation so there’s no confusion about any of the details. You can either buy or order invitations, or design your own on the computer. You can find some beautiful and inexpensive specialty papers at your local office supply store. And remember, no one likes to show up over- or underdressed, so be sure to specify the ATTIRE for your guests, which can range from a casual look to coat and tie to formal.
The Focus of Your Party Do you want to have a particular THEME or color scheme? If so, this will entail coordinating, and possibly buying, your decorations -table centerpieces, plates, flatware, napkins, tablecloths, etc. If there’s a particular theme, do your guests need to KNOW ahead of time? What about music? This can be for entertainment, for dancing, or just background music.

Deciding On Food The greater part of your budget will go to feeding your guests, so plan your food and beverage needs carefully. Is this a SIT-DOWN dinner or is it a BUFFET? If the party is a sit-down dinner at your home, make certain you have adequate seating arrangements. If your guests will serve themselves buffet-style and perhaps eat while mingling around, they may have to eat with one hand, so plan your menu accordingly.
Hiring Help Are you going to hire a CATERER? Or will you be doing the cooking yourself? If you are hiring a caterer, make sure that you are both in agreement as to what will be provided by the caterer and for how much. Provide them with an accurate headcount, which means asking your guests to RSVP. Will the caterer have wait-staff, will they provide dishes and eating utensils, when will they arrive, do they have to do any cooking on location, how long will they be serving, will they clean up afterwards, what about any left-over food? What additional EQUIPMENT may need to be rented? Who is responsible for beverages, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic? The more you determine up front, the less chance of a surprise the day of the party, and the less stress

for you.
Do-It-Yourselft If you are going to do the cooking yourself, or enlist the help of family and friends, assign everyone specific tasks and timelines. Who will be RESPONSIBLE for the appetizers, who will bring desserts, who will cook the main entrees, who will help serve, who will help clean up, at what time do you want everything ready? Since you will know your food and beverage menu needs beforehand, make a grocery LIST of all the items you will need for the food to be cooked.
Planning In Advance Begin buying any non-perishable items now, as well as any decorations or other needed items. This will not only help to spread out the COST, but more importantly, it will help you to be more ORGANIZED ahead of time. After all, you don’t want to be a frazzled, tired-out host or hostess. You want to enjoy your holiday party along with your guests – so eat, drink and be merry, and make sure your guests drink responsibly.

[ FAMILY PET ]
Keep Your Pets Safe on Halloween
J
ack-o’-lanterns, trick-or-treaters, haunted houses and costume parties. Halloween is full of fun things for you and your family to enjoy, but it’s one of those holidays that is enjoyed more by people than by pets. Keep the following precautions in mind when preparing for the frightfully fun festivities and help ensure that everyone in your family—including your pet—has a safe Halloween. • Keep your pet in a quiet place, away from trick-or-treaters and other Halloween activities. You may know that the miniature monsters and goblins who come knocking on Halloween aren’t real, but pets don’t. Dogs and cats are creatures of habit and could become frightened or agitated by the unaccustomed sights and sounds of costumed visitors. In addition, frequently opened
doors provide a perfect opportunity for escape, which can go unnoticed during all the commotion. Be sure all pets are wearing collars and ID tags in case of an accidental getaway. • Cats—black ones in particular—often fall victim to pranksters. Keep cats safely indoors. Visit humanesociety.org/safecats for more information. • Place live flame decorations like candles and jack-o’-lanterns out of your pet’s reach. Curious critters risk being singed or burned by the flame—they could also easily knock over a candle or pumpkin and cause a fire. • Keep candy away from pets. All those sweets may taste great to critters, but candy, especially chocolate, can be toxic to pets. Candy wrappers can also be harmful if swallowed. Instead, tempt
28 Local Parent Magazine of Gwinnett County

your pet with a few of his favorite treats. • Resist the urge to put your pet in a costume. You may think your pet looks adorable dressed as a princess, but most pets don’t like the constraints of costumes. If you do decide to play dress-up, make sure the costume is safe for your pet and doesn’t constrain her movement, hearing or ability to breathe. Check the costume for parts your pet could chew off and choke on and look for dangling pieces like flowing capes that could injure her. • Don’t let the family dog accompany the kids on their trick-or-treat outing. Children may have a difficult time handling a pet during the festivities and your pooch could get loose, especially if your dog is spooked by the strange sights and sounds of trickor-treaters.

• Keep decorations that pets could chew on—like streamers and fake spider webs—and wires and cords from electric decorations out of reach. If pets chomp on Halloween decorations they could choke or become ill and, if they chew on electrical cords, they risk a potentially deadly electrical shock. Pets could also become tangled and injured by dangling cords or decorations.
