Middle School Students 'Head To The Top'!

Middle School Students 'Head To The Top'!
By Annabeth Miller,
ShowMe Times Editor

It was a perfect formula Friday afternoon.  

Sunshine 
+ beautiful spring day 
+ park 
+ 184 middle school students
 = a wonderful fun time!

The students were all a part of the Headed to the Top program at T. S. Hill Middle School in Dexter, and they enjoyed an afternoon at Dexter's West Park - complete with grilled hotdogs (from Grill Masters Greg Lummakka and Marc Thrower), fun and games, and "just hangin' out with friends.

The Headed to the Top program is an incentive program at the middle school.   Students  who meet a set of basic criteria each quarter and they are rewarded with an afternoon of fun.

"It's simple," said middle school principal Scott Kruse. "You make it, we reward you with an afternoon off and something fun! "

Kruse said the criteria includes:
  • C's or Better
  • 3 days of absence-excused or unexcused - must be at school!
  • NO discipline referrals
  • Fines and Fees up to date.
  • Contract for the program signed and turned in at the beginning of the quarter

And so each quarter the students have a chance to Head To The Top. And this week they had the day of fun with an afternoon at Dexter Bowl.

And so on the beautiful spring afternoon the young people enjoyed the sunshine and the great day as they "head to the top"!

SEMO Raises Room, Board Rates

SEMO Raises Room, Board Rates

CAPE GIRARDEAU – The Southeast Missouri State University Board of Regents recently approved new room and board rates and a $22.64 million Residence Life budget for fiscal 2013.

Under the approved plan, average room rates will increase 2.43 percent, while board rates will rise an average of 4.96 percent for fiscal 2013.  This will bring the average combined room and board rate increase to 3.32 percent for the 2012-2013 academic year, according to Dr. Dennis Holt, vice president for enrollment management and student success.

New Residence Hall Room Rates

Based on the new rates, annual residence hall fees will be:

  • $3,800 for Dearmont;
  • $4,100 for Towers South and East;
  • $4,250 for Cheney;
  • $4,950 for Group Housing;
  • $5,750 for Myers;
  • $5,850 for Towers North and West; and
  • $5,850 for Candlewood Suites and Vandiver, Henderson and Merick halls.

These figures reflect the cost to continue, including additional costs for maintenance and repair. Private room rates continue to be 1.5 times the rate of a double room, Holt said.

Board Rates

Holt says the average board rate change of 4.96 percent is consistent with the University’s dining contract with Chartwells, and reflects actual and anticipated inflation in food prices for 2012-2013 and an increase in the value exchange requested by students.

Under the standard board rate schedule, the most popular plan – 15 meals per week plus $140 in flex dollars – will cost students $2,480 annually. The 19-meal plan with $116 in flex dollars is $2,690 annually. The 10-meal plan plus $160 in flex dollars is $2,230. The five-meal plan plus $270 in flex dollars is $1,910.

The flex dollars reflected in the board rates are cash stored electronically on students’ ID cards as part of their meal plan. They can be used at most campus dining locations to buy additional meals, food items, snacks and beverages.

With the approved room and board rate increase, a student living in Towers South/East with a 15-meal plan will pay $6,580, up from $6,360 last year.

Non-Traditional Housing Rates

In other action, the Board approved a 3 percent increase for non-traditional housing at 401 and 505 Washington Street. The Washington Street Apartments consist of 19 units and vary in number of bedrooms, size of rooms and amenities. Monthly rates for the 2012-2013 academic year will range from $391.30 for a one-bedroom efficiency at 505 Washington Street to $529.41 for a two-bedroom apartment with a balcony at 401 Washington Street.

Residence Life Budget and Capital Improvement PlanThe $22.64 million Residence Life budget approved by the Regents is up from a $20.98 million budget under which Residence Life is operating in fiscal 2012. Holt says the difference reflects increased contributions to reserves and facilities renewal.

He says the Capital Improvements Plan for Residence Life through fiscal 2013 is currently being reviewed, and will be revised and submitted to the Board for approval in the fall when actual costs for fiscal 2013 projects are known.

ESPN's Cohn To Speak At Three Rivers

ESPN's Cohn To Speak At Three Rivers
POPLAR BLUFF - Linda Cohn, longtime anchor for ESPN’s “SportsCenter,” will deliver the commencement address at the 2012 graduation ceremonies for Three Rivers College. The college made the announcement concerning the May 20 ceremony this week.

“I want the college and its students to be affiliated with impactful personalities,” said college president Dr. Devin Stephenson.  “I look for a person who can inspire and motivate our graduates.  Linda tells people that you can get to where you want to be if you are willing to push obstacles and hurtle boundaries, and I think our students will relate well to that.”

Commencement will be held at 4 p.m., Sunday, May 20, as a free event open to the community.  This is a change from the originally scheduled date of Friday, May 18.

“With that quality education, Three Rivers graduates are already going places,” Cohn stated.  “If I can help be their GPS, well, that's a bonus.  My message is simple: Go after your dreams because they can happen.  I’m an example of that. Combining your passion with effort puts yourself in position to get what you want out of life, in your career and personally.”

As one of the first full-time female sports anchors, Cohn is recognized for her 20-year career with ESPN, and has appeared regularly on the show “SportsCenter” since 1992.  She is considered a pioneer among professional women sportscasters in America.

Cohn is also the author of “Cohn-Head,” her memoir published in 2008.  The popular book details Cohn’s struggle to “break into the boys’ club” of national sportscasting.  As a public speaker, Cohn has toured the country and spoken at numerous colleges and universities, including Northeastern University in Boston, the University of Connecticut, the University of Oklahoma and more.

“This will be an event to not only honor our graduates, but to thank our community and welcome everyone to come hear Linda’s empowering message,” said Stephenson.  “We want to pack the Black River Coliseum.  Linda is inspirational because of her commitment to family, to excellence, and to making a difference in the lives of others.”

December 2011 and May 2012 graduates wishing to participate in this year’s commencement exercises must apply for graduation either in the Enrollment Services Office or online at trcc.edu/academics/graduation.
