SV English 4 Students Speak With Author Jeff Hobbs
Today Spring Valley's English 4 class spoke via phone to the author of "The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace". This a non-fiction piece written by Jeff Hobbs, the Yale college roommate of Robert Peace. Rob Peace was born and raised in Newark, NJ to "an unwed mother who worked long hours in a kitchen. Peace's intellectual brilliance and hard-won determination won him a full scholarship to Yale University...majoring in molecular biophysics, and biochemistry...Upon graduation for Yale, he went home to teach at the Catholic high school he'd attended, slid into the drug trade, and was brutally murdered at the age of 30".
This book is part of the English 4 curriculum and is featured as part of a unit entitled "Life Choices". Mrs. Roberson's students spend an entire quarter reading, discussing and writing about the characters, plots, and themes this rich novel had to offer. Students also designed and presented projects that best exhibited their learning of this story, and one project was actually shared with the author, who in turn, shared it with Rob's mother, Jackie Peace.

Each team chose from a list of projects and did research, brainstormed and sketched, decided, planned, and collaborated via Google drive and Google Hangout from their Chromebooks while using the classroom desktops to make their Inventor models of their design solutions. At the conclusion of the month-long project, the students jointly presented their design solutions via Skype.

Congratulations to MaryAnn Sansonetti-Wood
Congratulations to MaryAnn Sansonetti-Wood for being invited to the Multi-Alliance Geo-Literacy Leadership Institute. Mrs. Sansonetti-Wood is one of 28 geography teachers and coordinators invited from across the southeast to attend. The Multi-Alliance Geo-Literacy Leadership Institute will bring together alliance teachers and other volunteer leaders from seven alliances (South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Louisiana and North Carolina) to deepen their understanding of geographic literacy and increase their effectiveness in advocating for geo-literacy on the state level. The five-day institute will take place June 12-17, 2016, at the University of South Carolina. Participants will receive training and practice in geographic literacy, policy advocacy, public relations, and community engagement - and will be expected to develop and implement advocacy plans for their respective state alliances.
All of these alliances are members of the National Geographic Network of Alliances for Geography Education. The Network is a grassroots organization dedicated to supporting geographic education. Alliances are partnerships between university faculty and K-12 educators. These state based organizations connect educators, provide world-class professional development and promote educational innovation at the state and local levels. Since 1986, National Geographic and the Alliances have worked to catalyze geographic education reform across the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico.

National Merit $2,500 Scholarship winners are the finalists in each state judged to have the strongest combination of accomplishments, skills and potential for success in rigorous college studies. The number of winners named in each state is proportional to the state’s percentage of the nation’s graduating high school seniors.Winners of corporate scholarships are finalists in the National Merit Scholarship competition who also met criteria of their scholarship sponsors. Corporate sponsors provide National Merit Scholarships for finalists who are children of their employees, residents of communities the company serves, or plan to pursue college majors or careers the sponsor wishes to encourage. Most of the corporate awards are renewable for up to four years of college undergraduate study and provide annual stipends that range from $500 to $10,000 per year. Some provide a single payment between $2,500 and $5,000. Recipients can use their awards at any regionally accredited U.S. college or university of their choice.
Congratulations to both of these young men!
