FEBRUARY IS BLACK HISTORY MONTH
ASSET #34 CULTURAL COMPETENCE
Black History Month, or National African American History Month, is an annual celebration of achievements by black Americans and a time for recognizing the central role of African Americans in U.S. history. The event grew out of “Negro History Week,” the brainchild of noted historian Carter G. Woodson and other prominent African Americans. Since 1976, every U.S. president has officially designated the month of February as Black History Month. Other countries around the world, including Canada and the United Kingdom, also devote a month to celebrating black history.

TEST PREP TIP:
Standardized test season will soon be here. This is the time of year where students and teachers experience test anxiety. Parents here is one way you can help prepare your child for testing:
Give your child a chance to practice
If your child has trouble taking tests, try practicing test questions and studying new words at home. Your child's school or the library may have some samples to use. Keep the sessions short, and set small, manageable goals so that the extra practice boosts your child's confidence (Narang, 2008).
Tutoring, Mentoring and Test Preparation!
The West Carrollton National Honors Society, Frank Nicholas and Miami Shores Baptist Church have partnered to offer afterschool tutoring to Nicholas students. The sessions will be held at Miami Shores Baptist Church (next door to Nicholas) on Wednesdays beginning February 17th through May 18th. Sessions will run from 5:30 to 7:00pm. Each session will include both math and literacy instruction and a light snack. Additional social and mentoring activities will be available as well. Parents are encouraged and welcome to attend. For more information or permission slips, contact the main office at 937- 859 - 5121.
February's Asset Builder of the Month - Betsy Baker
Betsy Baker is a first grade student at Frank Nicholas Elementary and is our choice for Asset Builder of the Month. Betsy exemplifies many of the 42 Developmental Assets. At home, she has a lot of family support from her mom, dad, and two older sisters (Asset #1). She also spends a lot of time with her grandma (Asset #3) and attends church (Asset #19) whenever she can. She is responsible for feeding and taking care of her pet cats, dogs, and bunnies (Asset #30). At school, Betsy is respectful and caring (Asset #26). She is honest (Asset #29) and turns her homework in on time each week (Asset #23). In fact, doing homework is her favorite asset. She is a member of the Junior Youth Leadership Board (Asset #9) that helped with the homecoming parade and took ornaments to the local nursing home. Betsy likes playing sports such as soccer, basketball, and softball (Asset #18). In her spare time, she loves to read (Asset#25) books about princesses. When Betsy grows up, she would like to be a teacher, just like her role model Mrs. Corbeil (Asset #40). Congratulations, Betsy, for being our Asset Builder of the Month.
