A Night in Hollywood

On April 18^th, a Special Olympics fundraising event will be held at Greenville High School to spotlight the Special Olympians as the stars they are with a black tie themed dinner and show. A Night in Hollywood will showcase the Special Olympics participants by opening their artistic abilities to the public through a talent show and an art auction. Guests will be provided Hollywood themed refreshments throughout the duration of the talent show.

You will have many opportunities to give back to Special Olympics fund throughout A Night In Hollywood with business donations, ticket prices, fun family games and much more. Since this will be the first ever fundraising event made specifically for the Darke County Special Olympics, we are aiming to double their annual donation by raising $7,000. We are looking to get our community connected to the Special Olympics in a way that they have never experience before by putting on A Night in Hollywood. Usually, the Special Olympic participants are limited to athletics.

We are aware that the Special Olympians are extremely talented in many ways! So, we would like to give them the opportunity to show off their own unique talents to our community. Our goal is to have all eyes on our Special Olympics participants so they may feel like the stars they are.

If you would like to be a guest at A Night in Hollywood, pre-sale tickets will be available at all Greenville National Bank branches, $10 for student tickets and $15 dollars for adults. You may also  purchase a table for $200. If you are interested in making a financial donation, please make checks payable to Supply Chain Management at 100 Greenwave Way, Greenville OH 45331.

FFA Members Participate in Public Speaking

Sydney Lawson, Kody Purvis, Chad Harter, Victoria Nader and Olivia McDade represented Greenville FFA in the District 5, Sub-District Public Speaking Contest on February 10, 2015 at Brookville High School.

Sydney Lawson, a freshman, participated in the Creed speaking contest and Kody Purvis and Chad Harter participated in the Advanced Creed speaking contest. The FFA creed consists of a student memorizing the five lines of the FFA Creed and presenting it to a panel of judges. This contest is designed to develop leadership and the ability to appear before a group. Participants then answer a series of questions over the FFA Creed. Members participating are evaluated on their presentation, memorization and response to questions. The difference between the Creed and Advanced Creed is that the Creed contest consists of only freshman students while the Advanced Creed consists of members who are in their first year of Agricultural Education and are either a sophomore or junior.
 
Victoria Nader participated in the Advanced Prepared speaking contest. Participants develop a six to eight minute speech on any agricultural related topic which is to be memorized. After their presentation participants are then asked a series of questions about their topic and speech. This contest is designed to better a student’s speaking and leadership skills. Participating members are evaluated on their presentation, memorization, and response to the questions.
 
Olivia McDade represented Greenville in the Extemporaneous speaking contest. This area consists of participants being given an agricultural related topic in which they have half an hour to research. Then members give a four to six minute speech. The contest is designed to stimulate the interest of FFA members in agriculture and leadership by giving them the opportunity to speak before an audience.
 
Sydney received a gold rating on her presentation of the Creed. Chad and Kody both received a gold rating while Chad also placed second qualifying him for the District FFA contest. Victoria Nader placed first in the Advanced Prepared and will be moving on to the District contest as well. Olivia McDade received a gold rating in the area of Extemporaneous. Congratulations to each of the participants on a job well done!

Marketing 11-12 Participates in Christmas Cheer

Marketing Good News Article

The past two  Christmas Seasons  the  Marketing 11 and 12 classes have  participated in a Community Service activity called  “Operation Christmas  Cheer ”  –  its where the Operation Christmas Cheer  organizations bring Christmas gifts to the school, and  our Marketing  students help  community members (elves)  wrap  gifts.  Last year we wrapped 180 gifts; this year we wrapped over 300 Christmas gifts for children in the Darke County Community.

This organization started out in 2011 and helped 22 children that year. To date Operation Christmas Cheer has helped 125 children.  During tough economic times, the community and this organization has shown an amazing outpouring of love and support

Our Marketing classes collected over 40 rolls of Christmas wrapping paper  we used to wrap the  gifts, and  then we  donated the remaining wrapping paper to “Operation Christmas Cheer “ organization so they could  complete the wrapping process. This was a way we could give during the holiday season.

Next Christmas season if you would like to get involved, join the Facebook group “Operation Christmas Cheer – Darke County” –https://www.facebook.com/groups/14069785678    

Greenville CBI and Playing the Game of Life

Students of the Greenville CBI class played the game of Life for two weeks in December. Not the classic board game but a dice-based simulation that mimics random events in a person’s life.

Students begin by rolling dice to be assigned careers. By allowing chance to decide their careers, students are forced to make choices and manage resources based on chance. This adds a level of unpredictability that forces students to make some tough decisions.

“The game was actually fun,” said Chase Quinn, sophomore at Greenville High School. “The random variety of the game allowed for anything to happen.”

Each day, students are awarded their monthly paycheck. This is based on their career’s yearly salary, if they are an exempt employee, or their hourly rate times 40 hours, if they are a non-exempt employee. This is the money the students use to buy possessions that will allow them to live within this fictional laboratory environment.

After a student’s career was decided, students continued to roll dice and, based upon what number came up on the die, learn other elements of their lives such as marital status, number of children, number of credit cards and other loans, as well as other factors that determine a person’s available resources.

“I thought it could use more details because some of the outcomes weren’t very specific but I liked it because they were kind of funny,” mentioned Jesse Green, sophomore.

Each school day the game is played represents one month in fictional game time. Students earn salaries and must pay monthly bills and expenditures when they receive their salaries. Another element that adds a sense of realism is the inclusion of random “misfortunes” that can happen to the student. At the end of each daily round, students must roll to see if they have had a misfortune happen to them. These can be as small as a minor parking ticket to as massive as having to replace your house.

In addition to the misfortunes, to help students who were not fortunate enough to get the “high paying” jobs, inclusion of social programs such as public assistance and unemployment were added. The student who won the game is the one who managed their resources the best.

“I liked playing the game.” said Tristan Hunt, sophomore. “I liked the different things that happened in the game because of how you rolled the dice.”
