Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act 2012-13 Is The Year of Full Implementation
The USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) unveils historic changes to the meal requirements for schools parAcipaAng in the federal hot lunch program. The Healthy Hunger Free Act was passed in 2010, while implementaAon was delayed unAl the 2012-‐13 school year. It drasAcally changes what schools may serve for lunch.
Fortunately, we made many of the changes last year, in an effort to be ahead of the curve for the mandates and just make other adjustments for this year. In the table below, you can see the requirements we must adhere to. The most notable changes are the following:

• Maximum Grains allowed per week. • Maximum calorie count. Every meal we serve, MUST fall between the calorie count found in the chart below. • Minimum servings of fruits/vegetables. We are altering how our students will proceed through the lunch line; they will now go
through the fruit and veggie bar first. At this Ame, they may choose as much fruit and veggies they want and then proceed to the serving window. If they do not have the minimum servings on their tray, they food service personnel will place a dish of fruit or vegetables on their tray to meet the minimum requirement.
• Types of vegetables. Not only do we have minimum serving sizes for vegetables, we now have minimums for the different TYPES of vegetables. Looking at the chart below, we have 5 categories of vegetables Dark green, Red/Orange, Beans/Peas, Starchy, and Other. Your child will see a variety of choices this year, choices they may never have seen before. These choices may include:
o Dark Greens-‐ Bok choy, broccoli, collard greens, mesclun, kale and spinacho Red/Orange-‐ Acorn squash, bu@ernut squash, pumpkin, tomatoes, and sweet potatoeso Bean/Peas -‐ Black beans, black-‐eyed peas, garbanzo beans, kidney beans, lenAls, navy beans, split peas, etc.o Starchy-‐ corn, peas, green lima beans, water chestnuts and white potatoeso Other-‐ arAchokes, asparagus, avocado, beets, cabbage, celery, cucumbers, etc.
• DocumentaDon of Compliance-‐ Included in the requirements is more documentaAon we must provide that shows we are in compliance, and thus qualified for Federal reimbursement for each meal we serve. Some ways we must change to ensure compliance:
o Age groups for servings-‐ High school students have different requirements than elementary and junior high students. This will require that we serve the high school students their requirements and the rest, their requirements.
o Minimum and maximum requirements-‐ We MUST ensure that each meal we serve meets the new USDA requirements. Because of this, all students must go through the line and receive their meal. This means they will not be able to purchase Al La Carte’s or seconds at this Ame. If your child wants seconds or A La Carte’s, they must return to the serving line to purchase those items.
• Meal prices-‐ At our July Board of EducaAon meeAng we approved the meal prices for the 2012-‐13 School Year. We have included the new prices and applicaAons for free/reduced priced meals in this newsle@er.
As we move towards full implementaAon of the new USDA requirements, we need to remember the goal is to offer your child a nutriAous meal that will help them to be healthy and vibrant young person and to saAsfy the requirements of the USDA. Please feel free to contact us with any quesAons you may have.

MISSION STATEMENT: HIGH EXPECTATIONS + MAXIMUM EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES = LIFELONG LEARNERS AUG/SEPT 2012
We Believe…students can reach their individual potential through high expectations and a differentiated, diverse curriculum.
education is an ever-changing process that provides students with 21st Century Skills to become life-long learners.
learning must take place in a safe environment where students explore, problem solve and take academic risks.
students have a shared responsibility for learning that enables them to become responsible citizens. www.pawneecityschool.com 7
Principal ~ Don JacobsWelcome to the 2012-2013 School Year!
Pawnee City Schools is a great place to be! On behalf of the Pawnee City School Staff, I would like to extend a sincere welcome to the 2012-2013 school year to all Pawnee City students and their families and we welcome our new students to the Pawnee City School family. We hope you had a great summer. We are very excited to start this school year as we start this year with a renewed sense of dedication to your child’s overall growth and we look forward to working and learning with all of you throughout the coming school year.
Our school staff have been busy this summer painting, cleaning and making preparations for the new school year and we are getting closer to being ready for the first day of school. As you walk through the school, please take a moment to notice all the hard work that was done during the summer. A big THANK YOU to Betty, Dan, Cindy, Kim, Julie, and Connor.
I also want to remind everyone that we are now on FACEBOOK and you can always find the lunch menu, daily bulletin, athletic schedules and other important information at our website at www.pawneecityschool.net.
We will be having our Elementary Open House on Tuesday, August 14th; from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. We will also be having the 7th grade orientation that evening from 6:15 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. We will conclude the evening with the Parent/Student “Boot Camp” for the computers for grades 7-12.
We have made a few changes to the student handbooks so they are more in line with the School Board Policies.
Sports will be start up soon with High School Football practice beginning on Monday, August 6th with more information concerning practice times, etc. coming from Coach Shepherd. High School Volleyball will begin practice on Monday, August 13th.
I hope you and your child have a great educational experience at Pawnee City Schools and we welcome you to our buildings at any time. The school years can be challenging but also very rewarding. The positive partnership between home and school that we develop together will be the key to a successful school experience for you and your child. If you have any questions please make sure to contact the school to see how we can help.
Special Education Child FindThe State of Nebraska required that we provide services for children between birth and 21 years of age who are severely and profoundly handicapped. If you have a child under the age of 21 who is severely or profoundly handicapped and not presently being served by our program, please contact the Office of Superintendent who we can arrange for additional planning for your child. The phone number is 402-852-2988

Technology Bootcamp for all Parents/Guardians of students in grades 7 through 12
August 14, 20126:45 to 8:45 pmMeet in the Gym
Technology is ever changing, the technology bootcamp is a great opportunity for the staff at Pawnee City School to communicate with parents about how technology can be used to enhance your childʼs education and how you can communicate better with your childʼs teachers. Computer use requires responsibility; responsibility for the computer itself and responsibility for the acceptable use of this computer. It is critical for the success of this project that everyone involved (students, parents, and staff) become knowledgeable about the 1 to 1 initiative, therefore we have set up a training “boot camp” to give parents an opportunity to learn about issues with using the Internet safely at home and school and review the Acceptable Use Guidelines. The 1 to 1 program is only available to students in grades 9 through 12, but with the increased computer usage at the junior high level we feel it is important to inform and educate all the parents, as the same acceptable use guidelines will be enforced. Students will attend a similar bootcamp on the first day of school.
Reminder: A parent/guardian must attend before your student will receive a computer and the computer usage fee is $35.00 for the year.
Please contact Mary Moser if you have any questions.
Band Notes ~ Andrea Veleba
The summer of 2012 is drawing to a close. What this means to me is that my summer band lessons will soon be ending. There are 15 future 5th graders and one future 7th grader taking lessons, so I’m pretty excited about the direction the band program is going. If you didn’t get signed up but still want to be in band, it’s NEVER too late to join. Just give me a call! I would LOVE to visit with the parents of all 5th grade band students. On Aug. 14th during Open House, please stop to see me in the Elementary Library!
By the time you read this newsletter, the Pawnee City High School Marching Band will have already performed at the Pawnee County Fair in July. Future parades include:
• Richardson County Fair Parade on Friday, September 14 (Please note: We are going to Humboldt on Friday instead of Thursday due to the MUDECAS volleyball tournament.)
• Apple Jack Parade in Nebraska City on Saturday, September 15.I am hoping that by letting you know these dates this early, you will be able to plan around them when scheduling trips, vacations, etc.
As always, the band will be coming around asking you to renew your magazine subscriptions. This is a major fundraiser for the band. We are currently raising money for the next band trip to Chicago in the spring of 2014. Please take this time to look around the house and find the magazines you will want to renew. Filling out our forms is so much easier when we can get your information off of a current magazine.
This school year marks a milestone for me in my teaching career. I’m entering my 20th year of teaching in the state of Nebraska, my 13th year in Pawnee City. Time truly does fly when you’re having fun!! Here’s to many more years of working together to bring music to Pawnee City!!

Elementary News
Lisa Mathewson-Preschool News!
What an exciting adventure we are about to begin! One of my goals for each school year is to help develop a good relationship between families and the school. That relationship begins with a visit to each and every family in our preschool program. Home visits are an excellent was to get to know the preschoolers and their families. It is also bene@icial in the giving of important information that each family needs before the start of school.
The @irst few weeks of school for the preschoolers are all about learning the routines of each school day, and discovering that there are friends who are different than them. The importance of rules is stressed, and the children learn how much fun friends can be when everyone is kind to each other.
All the patrons of our district are welcome to learn about our preschool program by visiting my webpage found on the school website: www.pawneecityschool.com.

3rd Grade ~ Miss Pralle
Here We Go! One year older, one year brighter, and one year to learn more. I am very excited about this school year. As usual, I have high expecta?ons of this year’s third grade class. We will be very busy reviewing prior knowledge and learning new informa?on in ALL subject areas. Be ready to work hard!
Fourth Grade News- Mrs. Niss
I always look forward to the beginning of a new school year! It’s wonderful to get back into a routine. This classroom will be the students’ “home away from home” for the school year, so I’ve tried to make it a friendly environment, which will encourage learning. Attitude (teacher, parent, and student) is the most important aspect of a child’s learning. I will do my best to keep a positive atmosphere in the room. In turn, I’d like parents to make sure students get enough sleep during the week ‒ that’s such an important factor in performance at school. Also, please have your children eat breakfast before coming to school, or eat the breakfast offered at school. It truly makes a difference in the students’ energy level during morning classes. Respect and responsibility the key words in the fourth grade. Every rule, both in school and in home life, deals with having respect. Part of my “welcome to school” speech will be that we don’t have rules in our classroom. I will explain that if the students have respect for the people and the “things” in our school, we won’t need to have rules.
Please help me as I try to increase the students’ levels of independence and responsibility. As a mom, I know it’s hard to have your children grow up and seem to need you less often (remember ‒ they’ll always need you). Please get your child in the habit of loading his/her book bag every evening for the next day. The mornings will go much more smoothly! It’s wonderful to see them blossom as they gain confidence in their abilities. I’m looking forward to seeing all of you the night of the Elementary Open House!

Dear Pawnee City Public Schools Patrons: The school year is ready to begin again at Pawnee City Schools. Just as the students are excited about a new school year the Foundation is excited about our opportunities to support the Pawnee City Schools. Last May we were able to award $25,000 in scholarships to our graduating seniors. Some of these are one year scholarships and some are renewable for their four years of college. We take very seriously the task of helping as many as possible in our school to maximize their post high school educations. All this is made possible because of those who considered education of our students so important that they included our foundation in their estate planning. We would like to encourage you to speak with your financial or estate planner and consider adding us to your plan for the future. Gifts to the foundation, have allowed the foundation the opportunity to support in the school in many ways. Some of our scholarships are school specific and some are college major related. We seem to be able to offer such a variety that it can help anyone, whether Southeast Community College or a four year University. We are also continuing to support the 2010-2011 renewable scholarship winner as well. We continue to provide $50 scholarships to Pawnee City High School Students, upon successful completion, of any dual credit (college credit) taught by the Pawnee City High School staff. Last year we were able to spend $400 for this purpose. Another very important item that we support is the printing of this newsletter which cost $600 for each printing.
One of our members passed away this spring. We miss Duane Bowman and his financial expertise on our board. The school board approved Jerry Meyer to fill our vacancy and Melissa Kobza will also begin serving on the foundation board.
We want to thank the donors for the Helping Hands project that provided athletic shoes to some students in need and helped stock the supply room at school for later needs. They also helped a family that needed school lunch funds, as well.
These are just a few of the things the foundation has supported recently, and we have plans to increase the number of scholarships given, and to continue to help in the development of building projects for the Pawnee City School. The fitness center is used by so many students and teachers. The Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization and the Foundation recognize the gifts given by having names of the donors inscribed on the Foundation Plaque in the school cafeteria. Please consider a donation of any size for a tax deduction in 2012. On the back of this letter are the membership categories. Any, and all gifts are appreciated, and help to support the Pawnee City Schools.Thank you for your help! Pawnee City Public Schools Educational Foundation
