FLAMBEAU FOREVER FOUNDATION OFF AND RUNNING!

It can take some time for a school foundation to get established and gain traction, but we’re doing it! Even though we were just founded in 2016, thefirst grants totaling $3,000 were given out in the last school year, so you can see the impact of what we’ll be able to accomplish as we grow.

Our mission is “To connect our community and Flambeau students by funding enriching educational experiences.” So, what does that mean? It meansthat by fundraising, donations from alumni, staff payroll deductions, corporate gifts and more, the Foundation will bridge the gap where budget constraintslimit opportunities for our students. When we invest in our children, we are investing in our future.

The focus will be on three areas, Academics, Activities and Athletics, so donors can select where they would like to direct their gift. Each year, teacherswill apply for grants, and a sub committee for each of the three funds will review the grants in a competitive process that aligns with the school’s goalsand award to the “winning” projects. The goal is to incentivize innovation in the classroom and allow teachers to be able to do those extra things theyhave been dreaming of.

In April, the second grade class attended a live theater performance in Eau Claire, funded by a grant from the Foundation. In thank you letters that thestudents wrote to the Foundation, comments like “I loved the play! I looked forward to it for weeks” and “I appreciate that you gave us the money. I wishall of you guys could be there as it was an amazing show.” For many it was their first time to see a live play and their joy and enthusiasm for theexperience was evident in their thank you notes.

The Foundation wants to provide more and more enriching experiences for our students! We are working to set up a link on the school’s website anda Facebook page to keep you informed.

If you are interested in donating or have any questions about our Flambeau Forever Foundation, please contact the school. We would be more thanhappy to talk with you!

PPK-5 NEWSWelcome to the 2017-18 school year! I hope you enjoyed a summer vacation filled with fun and making exciting memories withyour loved ones. During summer school I enjoyed walking around and talking with the students to find out what they were workingon for their classes. It was also great to see students at baseball/softball games and different village celebrations.

Personally, I am grateful and elated to continue this journey with you as your Principal. Over the past year, I have had a chanceto meet many of you and your children, and look forward to continue building a strong relationship with all of you in the upcomingyear. As we enter this new school year, I want to let you know that we will be continuing to work on our school wide curriculumon the second Wednesday of the month starting in October and continuing through May. During the curriculum days we areable to create a guaranteed viable curriculum, which is the number one factor for increasing levels of learning for our students.We also want to welcome three new staff members hired for the next year: Rachel Gilles in Fifth Grade, Cynthia Wolbert in FirstGrade, and Lisa Ross Special Education Paraprofessional.

Looking forward to seeing you on August 15th for student registration. Enjoy the rest of your summer.

Vince Ross4YK-5 Principal

ELEMENTARY GUIDANCE CORNERWelcome back! I am the 4YK-5 school counselor, and I am lookingforward to helping support students, teachers & families academically,socially, & emotionally. I provide a number of different services to supportour students throughout the school year.

• Classroom Guidance Lessons: I will be conducting classroom guidancelessons in grades 4YK – 5 that address social/emotional skills,academic success, and careers exploration.

• Small Group Counseling: Groups run throughout the school year, andmay address social skills, changing families, friendship issues, anxiety,school success, etc. Individual Counseling: This is on an “as-needed”basis with parental/guardian permission.

• Support Parents & Teachers

TIPS FOR STARTING THE SCHOOL YEAR SUCCESSFULLY!Over the years, I have noticed things that successful students do that helpthem succeed. Here are a few examples of things they do on a regularbasis:1. Get plenty of rest – a scheduled bedtime & wake-up time cuts down

on the stress one feels if they don’t get enough rest.2. Talk about it- those parents or guardians who talk often about the value

of a good education with their children help them see the importanceof making school a priority.

3. Scheduled homework time – parents or guardians that set up a timefor their child to do homework, help their child see homework as a

priority, it also gives them a chance to communicate with their childabout what they’re doing in school.

4. Communication – parents or guardians who communicate regularly(email, phone, face-to-face) with their child’s teacher can alert him orher of changes that might impact their child at school. Your child’steacher will also alert you of any concerns he or she might have aboutyour child.

5. Modeling – parents & guardians that demonstrate behaviors & attitudesthat promote learning, enthusiasm, & curiosity encourage their child todo the same.

If at any time during the upcoming school year, you have comments,questions or concerns regarding your child and their social, emotional, oracademic well-being, don’t hesitate to call or to stop in and see me. Alongwith the rest of the school staff, I look forward to helping you help yourchild grow, & learn new things that will help them be successful. Sincerely,Mr. Kopacz, Elementary Guidance [email protected]

MMIDDLE/HIGH NEWSI am excited to be starting my new position as 6-12 Principal with the School District of Flambeau! I have lived in the area before andhave always been impressed with Flambeau’s ability to accomplish so much for such a small district. I hope I am up for the task tocarry on the traditions of Flambeau Schools.

A little bit about myself, in the past I have been employed as a diesel mechanic, correctional officer, and carpenter. My wife and Ihave owned and operated a small beef farm, peeled popple, and most recently ran a seamless gutter business with our son.

I have coached little league, middle school basketball, middle school football, and middle school track in the past and believe thatextra curriculars are a valuable part of our students’ education.

The past sixteen years I have taught and coached in the Colby School District. I bring with me many life experiences, not only fromthe education profession but also from various careers/jobs and my own personal insights from raising our two grown children.

My door is always open, I encourage students, parents, and staff to stop and say hi. I would also appreciate any input you have tooffer that will incite positive change in our schools.

Mr. Cahoon6-12 Principal

FESTIVAL OF NATIONSThe 7th and 8th grade students were able to attend the Festival of Nations on May 5, at the Rivercentre in St. Paul, MN. The Festival is a greatopportunity for students to get a hands-on experience of the culture from around the world. With over 90 countries from around the world represented,the students get the opportunity to try foods, dance,enter a Mongolian house, listen to music, enjoy tradi-tional music as well as many other experiences thatcan’t be received from reading, research or a video.This year, the district graciously allowed both the 7thand 8th graders to attend and both classes of studentshad a memorable time. “On behalf of the 7th and 8thgraders I do want to thank all the chaperones for comingalong and enjoying the day with us. With over 70 stu-dents, it was really nice to have so many parents willingto come along to make groups smaller for students toenjoy the day,” stated middle school history teacherTodd Roehl.

STUDENT COUNCIL VISITSTACTICAL ESCAPE 101

When this year’s student council wanted to learn how to better worktogether, they came up with the idea to attempt a room at Tactical Escape101, located in Rice Lake. They split up into two groups of eight and eachwere tasked with sorting out all the clues to escape their room within onehour. The Harry Potter group escaped with just five seconds to spare,while the FuneralHome group justcouldn’t “live” up toexpectations. But everyone hada great time andthey are thinkingabout making it anannual event.

WHAT SHOULD MY CHILD BE DOING TO PREPARE FOR COLLEGE?

It is quite the journey through middle school, then to high school,and on to life after the K-12 education system. It is helpful if youhave a plan to follow through, even though that plan will changefrom time to time. Here are some recommendations:

FRESHMEN- Fall• Start talking to people you know about different career options.• Think about classes that might be helpful for your future (talk to

the school counselor).• Begin keeping a list of your awards, honors, volunteer hours, and

extracurricular activities that you have participated in. Keep this

in a safe location so you can update it as needed. This will makesenior year much easier!

SOPHOMORES- Fall• Meet with your school counselor to discuss which classes you

need to be taking.• Research majors that might be a good fit with your interests. • PARENTS, help your child develop independence by encourag-

ing him or her to take responsibility for balancing homework withany other activities or a part-time job.

• Update your activities list.

JUNIORS-Fall• Explore careers (job shadow, talking with people, visiting the

guidance office).• Attend college fairs, presentations, view college websites.• Visit schools of interest (see Mrs. Zimmer in the guidance office

for help)• Verify that your student is on track for graduation and their post-

secondary goals.• Begin a college folder to keep information in.• Update your activities list.

SENIORS-Fall• Seniors may begin applying to colleges in September. Try to

have campus visits done this summer to make the applicationprocess smoother. See Mrs. Zimmer for assistance with applica-tions.

• Visit Mrs. Zimmer to make sure you are on track for graduationand fulfilling college admission requirements.

• Ask for personal references from teachers and employers• Visit colleges if you are still uncertain of where you would like to

attend• If you are interested in the military, see recruiters when they visit

or see Mrs. Zimmer if you would like meetings set up. • Update your activities list.• KEEP WORKING HARD ALL YEAR…THIS YEAR MATTERS!

I look forward to the short commute to Flambeau (versus driving from Chippewa Falls during the last school year) andfocusing on the following areas: assisting families, students and teachers with behavior, academic & social-emotional concerns;special education; and alternative education. The guidance counselors, administrators, and I will be working very closely witheach other to support all children the best we can! Below are some helpful tips for parents that can help your child at home aswe start off the school year right!

THERE ARE SEVERAL BASIC THINGS YOU CAN DO TO HELP YOUR CHILD BE EVEN MORE SUCCESSFUL AT SCHOOL:

Keep them healthy!Make sure your child gets enough sleep, eats breakfast, and brings lunch or has money for lunch. Follow your doctor’s orders onany medications that will help them keep healthy. If your child needs any medications to be taken at school, see our nurse, BrendaCigan, and she will be happy to help you with this process. Her number at school is 715-532-4722. Remember, kids who are tired

or hungry have trouble focusing on learning and children who aren’t healthy (with uncontrolled allergies,diabetes, ADHD, etc) can’t do their best work. Stress the importance of school and learning! Younger children need to hear the message that you, as their parent, value them doing well in school. Read to and with yourchildren, sit down with them at homework time, and ask about their day every day. Having your child just listen to books increasestheir reading skills!Build a sense of responsibility!We have all been there and know at times how much easier it seems for us to pick up after them, but having them do some oftheir own chores helps our children in the long run. Young

children learn valuable skills from having chores and responsibilities at home. If wedo it all for them, how will they learn for themselves? At right is a short list of age-appropriate chores for your child to do. Stay in touch with the teacher!If your child knows that you communicate with and support the teacher, it will helpthem give their best behavior at school. If you have concerns about their classroomtime, teachers want you to contact them and talk to them before things reach a levelof concern. If there are things that change at home that might impact your child’sfunctioning at school, our teachers are happy to support your child the best they canto help them at school. During any difficult time, our guidance counselors are greatsupport systems for children too.

CCOMMUNITY EDFlambeau Parents: please read this with your Middle Schooler andtalk about what Kari has to say about Middle School. There is hopeand light at the end of the tunnel!

Written by Kari Kampakis © 2014 and reprinted with permission.Originally shared at www.karikampakis.com.

10 Truths Middle Schoolers Should KnowIt’s rare to hear anyone say they loved middle school. Even people withpositive memories never tout it as the best years of their life.Simply put, it’s an awkward season. It’s a time of constant changes, socialshake-ups, swinging emotions, and intense pressures. If I’ve learnedanything from working with adolescent girls, it’s how hungry this age groupis for comfort and reassurance. I hear it in their voices and see it in theireyes whenever I speak to a group, a look of searching and a longing tohear something – anything – to help them make sense of things.Please tell me it gets better, their faces silently plead. Tell me this isn’t it.Well, middle school kids, I assure you that life picks up. There’s a bigger,more promising world beyond this rite of passage. In the meantime, I have10 truths to center you. I hope they bring you peace and a little friendlyguidance.Truth #10: Today’s most awkward moments will be tomorrow’s funniestmemories. Keep a sense of humor whenever possible.�Those braces on your teeth that collect food? That acne on your face thatmiracle creams can’t cure? That giddy rush you get when your crushwalks by, and you can’t think, talk, or see straight? One day these thingswill be really funny! They’ll be the memories you rehash again and againwith your siblings and oldest friends.It takes time, but as you gain confidence, your awkward moments becomefun to share. You’ll readily admit yours and laugh at the comedy andconversation that result.Eventually you’ll have a dazzling smile, clear skin, and someone to love.Your current problems will have closure. So stay mindful of the big picture,and remember that even your worst experiences will pass.Truth #9: You don’t want to peak in middle school (or high school orcollege, for that matter). The worst goal you can have is popularity.Because what often makes adolescents popular – running with the fastcrowd, dominating your peers, living a superficial lifestyle – eventuallyleads to problems.A truly successful person gets better with time. You go from being version1.0 of yourself to version 2.0, 4.0, 6.0 and so on. But when you chasepopularity, you peak early. You stop growing and improving becauseyou’re stuck in instant gratification mode, looking for quick fixes to satisfyyour needs.Make it your goal to peak later in life. Make good choices that set you upfor a bright future. If you’re not a superstar now, that’s okay. This simplymeans there are better things ahead as you continue to evolve and learn.Truth #8: Technology makes it easier than ever to ruin relationships andreputations. We live in an age where people post everything online –feelings, emotions, and pictures. I love technology when it’s used wisely,but too often, it’s used impulsively. We let our fingers jump ahead of ourbrains, and within seconds, we can trigger hurt, misunderstandings, andserious issues.

So please, think twice before texting, emailing, or posting on social media.Cool off before giving someone a piece of your mind, venting, jumping toconclusions, reacting out of jealousy or anger, embarrassing someone,or sending an inappropriate photo. Use the Internet for good, not as adumping ground.And when you have an issue with a friend, call instead of sending texts.It’s easy to put in writing what you’d never say in person, or to interpret amessage the wrong way, and the tension this adds to a relationship ishard to recover from. Truth #7: Surrounding yourself with good company is imperative. There’san old saying that’s particularly relevant to your age group: “Show meyour friends and I’ll show you your future.”Yes, you’re called to love everyone, but not everyone deserves a placein your innermost circle. Some people you love up close and personal,and others you love at arm’s length because inviting them into your lifeinvites disaster.Sooner or later, a bad influence will rub off. You’ll either make choicesagainst your better judgment or wind up in a predicament. As a mom Iknow told her daughter, she once went out with a guy who was very sweetto her but also wild. She didn’t see the issue until they had their first date– and he took her to a drug dealer’s house.She told her daughter, “Even though I was innocent, I would have gone tojail if the police had come. I was guilty by association just by being there.”Good friends lift you up. They don’t put you in risky or compromisingsituations. To become the best version of yourself, you need friends whohold themselves to high standards and want you to reach your fullpotential, too.Truth #6: What makes you different is what makes you great. Middleschool is largely about conformity. I see this firsthand because I live neara middle school, and over time I’ve noticed how all the kids dress alike,walk alike, and act alike.Meanwhile, at my children’s elementary school I see authenticity anddiverse personalities because the kids don’t know yet how to be anythingbut themselves. It saddens me to know that they, too, will eventually feelpressured to hide what makes them unique.You’ll never influence the world by trying to be like it. You’ll never find yourcalling by following the crowd. God made you different for a reason, andwhat sets you apart plays into His plan for you. So listen to that quiet voiceinside you and remember yourself as a child. Cling to the passions you hadin your early years, because they hold more answers than you know.Truth #5: It’s okay not to have your life planned out. It’s okay if you haven’tdiscovered your “thing.” Chances are, you know kids with immense talentand drive. They’ve trained for years in their area of expertise, and theyknow exactly what they want in life.Deep down you may be envious and uncomfortable, because you fearyou’re getting left behind. You wonder why they have their act together –and you don’t.But even the best laid plans will face curveballs. Even the most driven kidswill wind up on different paths than they originally envisioned. So if yourfuture isn’t mapped out by 9th grade, take heart! You’re still young andhave plenty of time to discover what you were born to do. Just set goalsfor yourself, use your gifts, and head in a good direction. Set a positivetrajectory so that when you do discover your thing, you’re ready to soar.

Truth #4: Your uniform is not your identity. Labels are big in middle school,and there’s a confidence that comes from wearing a football jersey,cheerleader uniform, or other team attire.But remember that having a uniform – or even designer clothes – doesn’tincrease your worth. You’re special because of who you are, not whatyou put on your body or what you achieve.Overnight you can lose your place on a team. You can lose your talents,your wardrobe, your relationships, even your Instagram account. But ifyou base your identity on the one thing you’ll never lose – God’s love–your foundation is unshakable. You’ll still be standing even if you loseevery earthly trapping this world says is important.Truth #3: Applause can be misleading. You can make a huge mistakeand still get cheered on wildly. Through social media, popularity is nowquantifiable. You can gauge your performance by how many “likes”,comments, and shares you get.But remember, numbers alone can be misleading. To get the full picture,you need to measure numbers against the truth. After all, Jesus Christhad 12 followers. Adolf Hitler had millions. These numbers speak forthemselves.The best applause to live for is the quiet peace inside you. What makesyou feel good about yourself? What helps you rest easy at night?Criticizing someone to bring them down or make people laugh won’t bring

you peace. Neither will watching someone else beat up on a kid as thecrowd cheers him on.

You know the truth by how you feel deep down. And when you seek yourapplause from within, you don’t need the applause of public approval.

Truth #2: There’s a difference between helpful advice and criticism thatholds you back. Be careful who you listen to. Some people want you tosucceed. Others don’t. Develop a strong filter for whose words you taketo heart – and whose words you ignore.

Some questions to ask yourself are: Do I trust this person? Are theyrespectable? Do they practice what they preach? Are they the kind ofperson I hope to become? Do they recognize my talent and potential andencourage me, or do they drag me down by harping on where I fall short?

How others talk to you influences how you talk to yourself. And since thatvoice in your head impacts your confidence, determination, andwillingness to take risks, you want people in your life who speak the truthin love and always with your best interest in mind.

Truth #1: You’re AWESOME. Truly, you are. All these crazy changes areleading to something amazing. In the grand scheme of life middle schoolis only a blip, so keep it in check. Have fun, dream big, and make goodchoices. One day you’ll look back and laugh at the absurdities of thisstage, and if you’re lucky, you’ll enjoy a lot of humor now.

HERE’S WHAT’S COOKIN’ IN THE KITCHENWELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL!

The first day of school we will have the annual Welcome Back Breakfast provided by Community Education.This is a free meal for all students, parents, and faculty, so please feel free to come in with your child andhave a yummy fruit and yogurt parfait with your child!August 15 is registration day. I would really like to stress the importance of filling out the Free and ReducedLunch Application. This not only is a benefit for your budget but also for the District in several ways. First andforemost, the lunch program actually receives more per meal for a free or reduced lunch than a full-payed student’s meal. Second, if we have a higherpercentage of families on free and reduced lunch, we qualify for Title 1 funding grants and other grants like the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Grant (whichwe haven’t been able to receive the last few years). Thirdly, this helps us provide things like the Universal Free Breakfast program. In fact, due to thelow numbers of families that qualified for Free and Reduced lunch last year, our Free Breakfast has the potential to come to an end. So, please havethe Free and Reduced Lunch Application filled out and ready on registration day. We can process it right away that day and that will be one more thingoff your to-do list. The September menu is published in the newsletter. Please note that the menu is subject to change. Usually any changes are posted on the District’swebsite menu page so please stay tuned into the website more so than the newsletter as the newsletter menu is made several months ahead of timeand tends to require changes.Your feedback is always important to us. If you ever have any questions, concerns, or even ideas for us, feel free to email me at the email addresslisted below.Thank you and have a spectacular school year! See you in the lunch line!Carrie Anderson, Food Service [email protected]

2nd Chance Breakfastwill be served between

1st and 2nd hoursdaily for studentsin grades 6 -12.

MEAL ACCOUNT LUNCH NOTICESIn an effort to help reduce the amount of postage and labor spent sendingout meal account notices, we are asking parent(s)/guardian(s) to help inmonitoring family balance(s) and keeping a positive balance in theaccount(s).

WAYS PARENT(S)/GUARDIAN(S) CAN MONITOR MEAL ACCOUNT BALANCES:

1. Login to Powerschool - this is a web site that allows you to see mealaccount balances, transaction detail, deposits, grades, teachercomments, etc. Login information is available at the office.

2. Call the school. You can call anytime between 8:30 - 3:30 for the currentbalance on your account(s).

3. Parent/Guardian or Students can stop in at the office for balance information.NOTIFICATION TO PARENT(S)/GUARDIAN(S) BY THE DISTRICT:

1. Notices will be generated twice a month when an individual accounthas a balance of $10.00 or less. The notices will be sent home withthe students.

2. When an individual account reaches zero, a telephone call will be madeto the parent/guardian indicating the account is at zero. Not being ableto contact a parent/guardian by telephone, does not negate theresponsibility of having sufficient funds in the meal account.

OTHER INFORMATION:1. Complete a Free & Reduced Meal Application to see if you are eligible

for Free or Reduced price meals. All information is strictly confidential.Income limits are updated each year. If there is a change in your statusor income during the school year, you can re-apply. Applications areavailable at the school office.

2. Keep a positive balance in your account(s). A zero balance in a mealaccount deactivates the account and the child(ren) will not be able tocharge additional milk or meal purchases.

3. If the parent(s)/guardian(s) fail to provide their child(ren) with a meal,the District will provide the student with a sandwich and carton of milk.The District may also file a report with the Department of Health andHuman Services.

4. In accordance with USDA regulations, students who have had theirindividual accounts deactivated may continue to purchase meals ormilk by presenting the EXACT amount of cash for the meal or milkpurchase in the meal line.

5. Elementary students who bring their own lunch, but wish to purchasea carton of milk must pay for that milk with cash. Milk cards will beavailable for purchase at $6.00 per card from their classroom teacher.

6. Each 5th thru 12th grade student will be issued a lunch number. Thestudent will enter the number on a keypad when eating a schoolbreakfast or lunch. By entering the lunch number on the keypad, thelunch account will automatically be charged a breakfast or lunch. If astudent wished to purchase just a milk, that must be paid for in cash.

JUST A REMINDER...The Department of Public Instruction has set in place guidelines for theNational School Lunch Program that every school must comply with.Because we offer a free and reduced lunch program, all meals must meetthe reimbursement criteria. There are 5 food components offered for lunch:fluid milk, meat or meat alternative, grain/breads, fruit and vegetable.Students are required to take 3 of the 5 food components that are offered.One of which must be a fruit and/or a vegetable. There are 4 foodcomponents offered for breakfast. Students are required to choose 3 ofthe 4 food components that are offered. This DPI requirement will beenforced. Any child who does not have the required number of foodcomponents on his/her tray will be asked to return to the lunch line to getthe required number of food components.

LOCKER ROOM PRIVACY POLICYLocker rooms are provided for the use of physical education students,athletes, and other activity groups or individuals authorized by the BuildingPrincipal or Board Policy. The District recognizes the privacy rights ofindividuals using the locker room and shall take reasonable measures toprotect and respect individual’s privacy.Under no circumstances may cameras, video recorders or other recordingdevices be used in the locker room.

Dear Parents, Guardians, and Community Members,

Welcome back to school and welcome back to safe bus riding. The drivers and I are looking forward to another safe and productive year.Their was one major change last year and I would like to go over it again.

I think the most important change to the motorist was the two light system made mandatory last year. All buses now have amber as well asred lights. The amber lights are to warn you of a stop ahead. You may still pass on the ambers but I really question if that is a good idea.Once the driver switches to red lights there is no passing.

The bus remains the safest way to transport children and we strive to do it the best we can. If I can ever beof assistance please feel free to give me a call or stop in. Be sure to go over the rules of riding the bus withyour son or daughter and check the handbook for consequences if bus safety is compromised. Let's worktogether to make sure everyone gets to and from school safely and on time.

Welcome back to school athletics and activities. Here is an articlethat I would like to share. It comes from the National Federation ofHigh School Sports, enjoy.

Why We Play – the Purpose of Education-based AthleticsBy Juli Doshan on February 11, 2015

In today’s high school setting, a coach is one of the most influential peoplein a student-athlete’s life. Since coaches spend a lot of time with theirstudents, they can often be more influential about certain decisions thaneven their parents. So what happens when a coach becomes so focusedon winning games that he or she forgets there are other ways to win aswell? Coaches should be aware of all the things they are teaching theirstudents and find a good balance between coaching to win and coachingto enhance the lives of student-athletes.That’s what Jody Redman, Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL)associate director, stressed during a workshop entitled “Why We Play –the Purpose of Education-based Athletics,” conducted in July at the NFHSAnnual Summer Meeting in Boston. She reminded the audience thatalthough it may be obvious why the students play sports, administratorsand coaches need to remember why they are there as well.“Athletics and activities are the reason why kids show up,” Redman said.“It’s the reason they do well on the ACTs and SATs and the reason theyare in attendance. It’s the glue that connects them to their school.”“That’s what you do. You are the glue that connects kids to school, but wehave to be intentional. We have to realize it’s about purpose – it can’t justbe about physical skill development.”In order to be intentional, Redman said that administrators should first thinkabout the idea of education-based athletics and what it means. Then, thefocus should be on defining a purpose around that idea and developing aset of goals to be achieved outside of simply winning every game.“I like to win, but it’s not our purpose. Our purpose is education. It’s humangrowth and development of the inner lives of kids,” Redman said. “Whenthey graduate from high school, 97 percent of kids have a terminalexperience (with sports). They will never play organized sports to the levelor degree that they play now, in high school, again. So what are we givingthem if we are only centered on physical skill development and goals?”Redman said the challenge to keep high school sports in perspective iseven greater now because the sports culture has changed. High school is“book-ended” between youth and club sports on one end and college andprofessional athletics on the other end, all putting pressure on coachesand athletes to win at any cost.“The culture has changed,” Redman said. “We know that because we’rein it. We know that kids are being asked to do things we never did. Weknow that parents are over-involved to the point where it becomessomething extremely negative for the kids who are participating.”“When we look at college and professional sports, what happens when acollege coach doesn’t win? They get fired, right?”With pressure coming from both sides, Redman said those at the highschool level must dig deep and retain focus on their mission in order toremain education-based. She said they might even be surprised by whathappens when they dig deep enough.

“One of the things we talk about when we get coaches or administratorsinto a room is (becoming a better person),” Redman said. “You can’t startthis journey and say ‘I’m going to work on really clearly defining education-based athletics and activities’ and not think that that journey is going toimpact you as well. It will.”That’s just what happened three years ago when the MSHSL beganlooking into the culture of sport and started with a book discussion of“InSideOut Coaching: How Sports Can Transform Lives” by Joe Ehrmann.Redman said they have taken that book discussion and turned it intocurriculum that she teaches at coaches’ conferences and as part ofMinnesota’s coaching education and continuing education requiredcourses.“That journey over those couple months in the summer was significant,not only for me professionally, but personally,” Redman said. “You can’tbegin that journey without change happening.”Participants are asked to think about why they coach, why they coach theway they do, how it feels to be coached by them and how they definesuccess. By the end of the session, participants should have defined theircoaching goals and written a purpose statement that they can take backand refer to if they need a quick reminder.“In three short years, we’ve had a tremendous amount of growth andsupport for being intentional and purposeful in education-based athletics,”Redman said. “People are hungry. They’re looking for solutions becausethe culture is broken.”Eighty high schools in Minnesota received “InSideOut Coaching” andconducted book discussions last summer.One of the biggest things coming out of the curriculum, Redman said, is acommon language that can be spoken and understood among coachesand administrators.“We have begun to talk about this common language with our ADs,”Redman said. “Because now we’ve got new head coaches going to aclass, learning about goals and purpose, going back to their building andthere’s nothing for them because nobody else is speaking the language.”Redman said that parents should be included in the common language aswell, and that they might be the easiest group to convert to a new way ofthinking.“If I’m a coach and I get up in front of a group of parents and say ‘Thisyear, I’m going to change your sons or daughters and I’m going to helpthem to become men and women of empathy and integrity who will lead,be responsible and change the world for good,’ there is not a parent that’sgoing to argue with you.“But you’ve got to be intentional about it. You can’t just say it at thepreseason parent meeting.”One of the easiest ways for a coach to be intentional, Redman said, is towrite his or her own purpose statement, refer to it often and have anassistant coach or a team captain hold him or her to its standards.“You get in the heat of the moment and you do lose sight,” Redman said.“So we have to provide strategies that will help to not only say‘Philosophically, isn’t this wonderful?’ but we’ve also got to have concretetangibles too that a coach can walk away with and say ‘Oh yeah, I can dothat.’”-Juli DoshanJuli Doshan is the graphic arts technician/editorial assistant in the NFHSPublications and Communications Department.
