Fremont Kindergarten students anticipating their Bearcat
high school graduation.
Battle Creek Public Schools students are embracing a "College Going Culture." The
week of April 16 - 20 kicked off College-Going Culture Spirit Week. Students in each
building celebrated the 10th Anniversary of the Carson Scholarship with different themes
each day. College t-shirts and sweatshirts were sported by both staff and students at all the
schools in the district, students dressed up with what they would wear in their future careers
and high school students read excerpts to elementary students from Dr. Ben Carson's book,
"Gifted Hands". Colorful banners adorned the front of the high school proclaiming both
the Carson Scholarship and the Legacy Scholarship.
This year an unprecedented 36 Carson scholarships were granted to students in grades 4-
12. World famous Pediatric Neurosurgeon, Dr. Ben Carson will be the guest speaker at the
Carson Scholars Reception on Friday, April 20 in the high school gymnasium. Many for-
mer Carson Scholars winners from the past ten years will also return for the celebration.
2012 marks the graduation of the first class of Legacy Scholars. Students who attend
Battle Creek Public Schools beginning in 6th grade through graduation have the opportu-
nity to attend Kellogg Community College for two years with their Legacy Scholarship.
The Legacy Scholarship includes tuition, books and even tutoring if needed.
The Carson and the Legacy Scholarships are not the only opportunities for assistance in
post-secondary education. There are many other scholarship opportunities at Battle Creek
Public Schools. To assist students in planning their next steps after high school the new
"Futures" office was opened in February.

Val l ey Vi ew Li t er ac y Ni ght
On March 2 Valley View Elementary celebrated a
Literacy Night. The school had invited many guest
readers including Superintendent Hicks to the festivi-
ties. Monica Harris, local author spoke to students and
parents about writing. She demonstrated how a title can
catch the imagination.
Guest readers read a variety of books to parents and
students in the family areas of each corridor. Many stu-
dents came in their pajamas with sleeping bags for a
night of reading and socializing.
Principal Tamara Jamierson challenged her Dudley STEM School
students to read 5,000 minutes during the month of March and in
return she would "ride a horse". The students surpassed their goal
and Mrs. Jamierson not only rode a horse but the students got to ride
in a horse drawn wagon Mrs. Jamierson helped drive. Good job Mrs.
Jamierson and Dudley STEM students!
Ur bandal e Cel ebr at i ng

Superintendent Dr. Linda Hicks was an
invited guest to an Urbandale Black History
Month Celebration in February. Dr. Hicks
helped the Urbandale staff and those assem-
bled recognize many students for exemplary
behavior with the Firecracker Salute. Dr.
Hicks also read a book to students who were
gathered in the gym for the occasion.
Students in Kathy Deckers 3rd grade class-
room gave the superintendent a demonstration
of their Wax Museum of African American
heroes. Each student responded when a button
was pushed on their hand and recited informa-
tion about the individual they had researched
for Black History Month. The students also
performed at the March School Board meeting
and they were magnificent!
