Showing blow of reality proves effective for SAAC students

Berne Tri-Weekly News:

Members of the Berne Rotary Club sat silently last Thursday as their hearts were captured by a fictitious video of South Adams students involved in a fatal accident due to alcohol. Students had acted out an auto accident, which took the life of fellow students, for a production show to the student body just days before high school prom last spring.

To make things even more effective, a "live funeral" was held in the South Adams auditorium in order to demonstrate to students the matter of grief and pain caused to those around them whose heart was broken because of their death in the accident.

Rotary members looked on grimly as SAAC sponsor Sheila Graber explained the effect the video had on students last spring. She also noted the pain that gripped her heart during the filming as her own daughter (Lindsay) was "injured" in the accident.

Park is Indiana’s ‘very best teacher’

Huntington County Tab:

Most of the people who filled the Riverview Middle School gym on Monday, Oct. 10, seemed a bit puzzled as to why Principal Curt Crago's mood was so upbeat at a convocation he called to talk about bullying.

Especially after Crago pointed out the school board members and the county commissioner who just happened to be in the audience.

And even more so when Crago introduced Indiana's superintendent of public instruction, Dr. Tony Bennett.
Bennett didn't waste much time in satisfying the crowd's curiosity, confirming their suspicions that he hadn't made the two-hour drive to discuss bullies.

"I have some very good news," he told the assembled teachers, staff, students and community members. "Seated with you today is the model of greatness ... greatness in teaching students."
