November, 2018

“I am grateful for what I am and have. My thanksgiving is perpetual.” ~Henry David Thoreau

In honor of November being National American Indian (or Native American) Heritage Month, some statistics and information regarding Native American impact on our culture today:   

• Half of the names of U.S. states come from American Indian words
• A very small partial list of other American Indian words that have been adopted into English include: Caribou (snow-shoveler), chipmunk (red squirrel), moccasin, moose, opossum (white dog), pecan (nut), powwow (to have a vision), barbeque (a framework of sticks).
• Some foods first grown and used by American Indians include: Maize (corn), popcorn, chewing gum, jerky, chocolate, tomatoes, and vanilla.
• American Indian sports that have impacted current ones include lacrosse and shinny. Shinny is the basis of both field hockey and ice hockey.
• Inventions and discoveries by American Indians include: aqueducts and canals, bunk beds, hammocks, using willow tree bark as a pain reliever (same chemical as is in aspirin), using petroleum (as fire starter, insect repellent, and moisturizer), rubber balls (used by the Olmec people as early as 1,700 BC).

Stanlick School will celebrate Veteran’s Day on Monday, November 12. We will host local veterans for a faculty-made breakfast. This will be followed by an assembly to raise the flag, sing the national anthem, and thank our veteran’s for their service.

Stanlick School celebrated Red Ribbon Week!

The third grade attended an assembly by Jack Elsmore to teach them about the bad effects of cigarettes. All grades received Halloween safety tips from Officer Hale. Following this, the fourth grade learned about drug, alcohol, and tobacco use by playing Family Feud with Officer Hale and Officer Davis. The fifth grade watched a program by the Morris County Sheriff's Office K-9 unit. Sheriff Officers Carbon and VanValen along with their partners Willie and Django visited. After this presentation, the fifth graders released environmentally friendly balloons with their pledges to remain drug free. Mrs. Wilsusen from the Jefferson Township Municipal Alliance recited the pledge for the students before they released them. Stanlick thanks the PTA for arranging all of these events. We also thank Mrs. Wilsusen, Mr. Elsmore, Jefferson Police Officers Hale and Davis, Sheriff Officers Carbone and VanValen, and especially Sherrif Officers Willie and Django.
