EACS sets sights on August blended learning rollout
By August, East Allen County Schools
hopes to become one of several school
corporations in Indiana to integrate iPads
into its curriculum model.
For months, the EACS school board has
discussed the rollout of a $3.3 million to
$3.5 million blended learning initiative
that would put 6,000 iPads in the hands of
students, taking full advantage of a
curriculum that has already had tech-
nology standards built in for two years,
according to EACS Director of Accounta-
bility William Diehl.
The school district first integrated
Macintosh computers into its classrooms
in 2007 and added the use of iPod Touch
devices the following year. In 2010, the
district introduced iPads to classrooms
using a system in which schools could
check out the device to use with the help
of a media specialist. The district now has
30 iPads circulating among its schools.
Now that faculty and staff have realized
the iPads potential to enhance classroom
and project-based learning, there is a
general consensus among everyone that
the change is needed; the only debate has
been who needs them first. The school
board was expected to vote on one of
three options at its April 17 public work
session, after the East Allen County
Times deadline.
Of the three options, the board found
two to be most appealing because both
allowed students at every grade level to
have some access to classroom iPads,
versus an option that would not make
iPads available to middle school students
during the rollouts first year. However,
there was concern regarding the access
students in grades K-5 would have: In
those classrooms, teachers would have
just one iPad for every four students.
School board President Neil Reynolds
was unsure how distributing the use of
iPads among those students would work.

Fundraiser a second chance
at prom for adults
Prom N Aid is not just a
clever play on words, its
an adults second chance
at prom. After all, not
everyones was as unfor-
gettable as the movies
would have us believe.
Maybe it is the perfect
excuse to re-enlist that
power suit or puffy-
sleeved dress for a trip
down memory lane. One
thing is for certain: Its
possibly the easiest way
there is to help out a good
cause because time flies
when youre having fun.
Grace Gathering church
will host Prom N Aid on
Saturday, May 12, from 7
to 10:30 p.m. in its indus-
trial-modern facility at
3157 Minnich Road. A
disc jockey, dance floor,
door prizes, trivia, food
and drinks are all part of
the event, which is open
to anyone for $15 in
advance, $20 at the door;
or $25 per couple in
advance, $30 at the door.
The hope of Prom N
Aid is to raise funds for a
return missions trip in
July to help Haitians in
need.
Grace Gathering has
about 17 mission commu-
nities within the church,
all with a different focus.
Mission team leader Dan
Kennerk said the whole
concept is to get the
money into the mission
communitys hands to
reach those who need it
more than they do.
Having gone there prior
to joining Grace Gath-
ering, their missions
pastor had a heart for
Haiti. In 2010, he took 15

For Kylee Shirey, the
project appeals to every
noble and daring part of
her: the risk-taker, the
entrepreneur, the
economic visionary, the
hopeful steward of educa-
tion and community, and
the grateful attorney who
believes at her very core
she must pay back what
others have given her.
It will begin with
lemonade stands
throughout Fort Wayne
and who knows, she
said may very well
wind up being the little
project that pays some of
the biggest dividends in
retaining and attracting
talent in Fort Wayne.
It will begin with
Lemonade Day Fort
Wayne on May 12 the
inaugural event here
connected to a 6-year-old
nationwide movement to
encourage entrepreneur-
ship among young people
by having them erect
lemonade stands and in
the process learn about
starting and running a
business.
What I love about this
idea is its such a simple
concept, and yet were
teaching kids these really,
really important life
lessons that theyre not
getting in schools right
now, said Shirey, an
earnest 31-year-old corpo-
rate attorney with Barrett
& McNagny LLP and co-
director of Lemonade Day
Fort Wayne. Its a way
for parents or if a
parent isnt involved,
another mentor to
come alongside a kid and
work through this with
them.
And I think its neat
because the Wall Street
Journal has done stories
and just nationwide
there have been stories
told about kids who set
up their lemonade stand
and then the next year

they add to it. So its
entrepreneurialism
breeding more entrepre-
neurialism. Once the kid
gets the bug and they can
see the potential of what
they can do the ideas
they can generate and the
money they can make
they will get really excited
about it.
Lemonade Day was
started by Houston-based
nonprofit Prepared 4 Life
and has grown from that
one city to an anticipated
43 this year involving
nearly 200,000 young
people from pre-kinder-
garten to 12th grade.
Shirey is hoping for
1,500 first-year partici-
pants in Fort Wayne, but
I wouldnt be surprised if
we exceed that.
Other Indiana cities
involved in the program
include Bloomington,
Elkhart, Indianapolis,
Lafayette, Terre Haute and
Richmond.
The event has become
so popular that Prepared 4
Life has switched its chief
focus from after-school
programs for at-risk chil-
dren to national organizer
of Lemonade Day, which
can encompass all chil-
dren. Prepared 4 Life
licenses and provides
some of the resources for
local Lemonade Day
organizers.
Shirey and Julie Eberly,
president of Prepared 4
Life, said workbooks
provide a guide for setting
up a lemonade stand busi-
ness, including lessons
about making a business
plan, drafting a budget
and learning how to
market a product.
The workbooks,
provided in backpacks
with other supplies, are
offered free through the
support of local sponsors
and partners. In Fort
Wayne, the title sponsor is
the Summit. Other spon-
sors include Barrett &
McNagny, the University
of Saint Francis Students
in Free Enterprise Club,
the Schwab Foundation,
the WBCL Radio
Network, Parkview Health
and LaBov & Beyond
Marketing Communica-
tions and Training.
There are also a host of
nonpaying supporters,
including Junior Achieve-
ment of Northern Indiana,
the Greater Fort Wayne
Chamber of Commerce
and WANE-TV.
Shirey, who learned
about Lemonade Day
from a newspaper article
in Indianapolis and then
recruited Phil Maurizi of
the University of Saint
Francis to serve with her
as co-director, said the
local program has thus far
raised about $110,000 in
cash and in-kind dona-
tions. It needs another
$13,000 in cash to reach
its targeted amount, which
will be used for both this
years expenses and some
of next years.
Beyond learning how to
run a business, Shirey
said, Lemonade Day
participants will learn how
to be self-sufficient and it
will create a new genera-
tion of philanthropists.
The kids get to keep
the profits they earn, she
said, but they are encour-
aged to spend some, share
some and save some.
They are encouraged to
enjoy the fruits of their
labor a little bit, save up
for a rainy day and give
back to the community
that supported them.
Eberly said the next
emerging step is inte-
grating Lemonade Day
with lessons in school
classrooms, and thats
already happening in
Houston and Chicago. She
said her organization has
developed materials that
make it easy to align such
things as lemonade-stand
math and science with
school curricula standards.
There are also the
somewhat less-measurable
benefits.
Were seeing kids that
are starting to believe in
themselves, Eberly said.
Theyre finding they can
be successful in some-
thing. Theres also some
evidence it may have an
impact on kids staying in
school.
Lorena Orvananos of
Sugar Land, Texas, just
outside of Houston, can
attest to the benefits of
Lemonade Day. She, her
husband, Alejo, and their
children Alejo Jr. and
twins Isabela and Patricio
began participating in
Houstons Lemonade Day
as a family project two

County parks add fourth week of summer camp
The Allen County Parks Department
has added a fourth week to its Summer
Day Camp program.
Originally, only two weeks of camp at
Fox Island and one week at Metea parks
were scheduled due to general fund
budget reductions, but the department said
that efforts from the private sector have
allowed a fourth week to be added.
The efforts by local businesses and
members of the community to secure
funding for a fourth week of camp has
been a huge success, Jeff Baxter, parks
superintendent, said in a press release.
The additional week of camp has been
named Mariahs Community Nature
Camp in honor of Mariah Smith, the 11-
year-old camper whose letters to local
newspapers brought attention to the Parks
Departments situation, and to the
community for its support.

When parents think
back to their own child-
hoods, a day in the life
was likely very different
compared with children
today. Back then, the
summer months were
spent outside with neigh-
borhood friends,
collecting grass stains and
returning home only when
a growling stomach
reminded them it was time
for dinner.
It might be like that for
some children now, but
when the National
Wildlife Federation says
that an average kid spends
7 1/2 hours each day in
front of a screen, it
becomes hard to believe
there are many.
For parents who feel
their child spends too
much time glued to the
TV, clicking through
Facebook or conquering
video games, perhaps this
summer is the perfect time
to check out the Play-
ground Recreation
Program through New
Haven-Adams Township
Parks and Recreation.
The idea of the Play-
ground Recreation
Program is simple, really,
said Anna Gurney, recre-
ation director at New
Parks and Recreation. Its
to get kids outside and get
them moving. There is a
generation of kids
growing up whose time is
so programmed and struc-
tured, they dont know
how to use their imagina-
tion and just play.
Gurney said that even
when kids do play, its
generally not very active
and often involves a video
game or computer.
This is exemplified in
the childhood obesity
epidemic in our country,
she said. The idea of the
New Haven Parks and
Recreation playground
program is to get kids out
in the parks playing.
The Playground Recre-
ation Program begins
Monday, June 4, at Jury,
Schnelker, Meadowbrook,
Havenhurst and Klotz
parks. Games, crafts and
recreational activities get
kids off the couch and
actively outside, chal-
lenging themselves, using
their own creativity and
just plain being a kid. All
activities are supervised,
as long as children are
visiting the park during
supervised hours. This
year, there are also several
themed event days:
On Mondays beginning
June 4, kids can visit play-
ground craft sheds for
Free Bead Monday to
make a craft of their
choice with beads
provided by park staff
through Aug. 3.
On Tuesdays beginning
June 5, the parks will host
Game Day Tuesday
through July 31, with
different games weekly at
each park.
Even on hot summer
days, kids will love
playing outside on Wet
Wednesday: Wet n Wild.
Parks will organize water
games each Wednesday
beginning June 6.

members of the church
missions community to
the Caribbean country
following a 7.0-magnitude
earthquake, the worst one
the country had seen in
more than 200 years.
We planned going
prior to the earthquake
and then when it hit, we
didnt know if we were
going to make it or not,
Kennerk said.
The airport was kind
of a mess so we didnt
know if they were going
to be able to host us to
come and work, and we
didnt know what our job
was going to be once we
got there. Everything
changed, Prom N Aid
planning committee
member Tiffany Heckley
added.
But they went, working
hours on end to construct
nine shack-like houses in
just five days.
We were their hands,
Kennerk said. Whatever
they needed us to do, we
did it.
They stayed in the
House of Blessings
orphanage, home to chil-
dren they both said are
well educated and fed, but
whose lives are drastically
different than other
Haitian children who
arent living there. A shed,
a gutter and a rain barrel
for water was all those
families had.
I remember coming
home that very first
minute after I walked
through that front door
and just told my husband
I will never complain
about my tiny, little ranch
house ever again,
Heckley said. Just to see
the gratefulness for what
they do have and what we
take for granted, to see the
difference in the way that
they live. I just remember
coming home with a
really grateful attitude.
It really humbles you,
Kennerk said. I think
thats the biggest thing
Ive taken away.
In July, Grace Gath-
ering hopes that with the
help of Prom N Aid they
will return, this time with
an arsenal of food
supplies and plans to
build relationships with
Haitian children through
bible study.
Another way they hope
to raise funds is at a
church-wide garage sale
April 20-21. Hundreds of
items will be available,
including clothes, books,
collectables, household
items, electronics, furni-
ture, appliances and decor.
A bake sale and conces-
sions will also be
available for purchase. A
bag sale on Saturday,
April 21, from 1:15-2
p.m. will allow shoppers
to fill a bag for just $3.

U.S. Kids Golf local tour sets schedule
Throughout the
summer, the U.S. Kids
Golf local tour will head
to eight courses in the
Fort Wayne area and
kicks off Saturday, May
19, at Orchard Ridge
Country Club.
U.S. Kids Golf local
tours provide boys and
girls, ages 5 to 14, the
opportunity to advance
their golf skills in age-
appropriate competition
without the time and cost
incurred by traveling long
distances.
The U.S. Kids Golf
local tour is a great
opportunity for kids of all
abilities to play in a
competitive environ-
ment, Alan Moyer,
director of the Fort
Wayne local tour said.
The golf course is a
great place for kids to
learn valuable lessons
that will help them
throughout their life.
Similar to the PGA
Tour, players at U.S. Kids
Golf events are encour-
aged to have caddies to
help them play their best.
Allowing caddies is a
special component of the
tournaments and is part of
the organizations
commitment to encour-
aging family interaction
that builds lasting memo-
ries. Players age 8 and
under must have a caddie
at all times.
The top five finishers in
each age group will
receive priority status
from U.S. Kids Golf,
granting them priority
registration for major
events. The Player of the
Year in each age group
will receive green status,
the highest level awarded,
which results in an invita-
tion to the World
Championship, held each
year at the Pinehurst
Resort.
Orchard Ridge Country Club will host the U.S. Kids Golf Fort Wayne
local tour in May.

activities, working with a
teacher, a smart board or
at individual computer
workstations. Teachers
would simply add an iPad
workstation to the mix.
Its already naturally
set up that way and kids
rotate through those
groups working on skills
that they need at their
individual level, Hissong
said. Our classrooms
already speak to that.
Teresa Knoblauch, prin-
cipal at Highland Terrace
Elementary School, also
felt the introduction of
iPads to the classroom is a
necessary and natural fit
for students.
In my building Ive
seen the level of student
engagement increase in
huge strides and I think
thats because of the
amount of technology
thats been brought into
our classroom, specifi-
cally the smart boards,
she said. I think adding
the iPads to that will just
really bring together a
classroom of kids that are
highly engaged in their
learning.
We have a curriculum
that was specifically
written for technology,
Diehl said. If you left K-
5 out of this right now,
what a travesty. I think
thats the brilliance of the
curriculum writers. The
fact that we have a
curriculum that was
written and is now two
years old and it has all the
technology standards put
in, all the project-based
learning I have not
visited a district that has
that kind of embedded
technology, so I think
were ripe and ready to go,
we just need the device.
Details regarding the
school boards decision
April 17 will be posted

years ago.
She ticked off all the
learning her children have
experienced: that not all
income is profit; that busi-
ness location is important;
that advertising helps; that
teamwork and thinking
outside the box are crit-
ical; and that it helps if a
business is unique.
The Orvananos family
addressed uniqueness with
a secret lemonade recipe
and a home delivery
option that has Alejo Jr.,
now 11, and the 8-year-
old twins transporting
plastic pitchers of
lemonade to residents of
their suburban neighbor-
hood.
Their family project had
one other reward: It
brought a shy Patricio out
of his cocoon.
At the end of the first
Lemonade Day, his
mother said, he was so
open, he was so excited. It
was great for him. Now,
hes a lot more confident.
Shirey was never short
on confidence, by the
sounds of her lifes
journey, which began
outside Oakwood in
Paulding County, Ohio.
But the mother of two
young children shares so
many of the qualities and
experiences that typify
Lemonade Day. In grade
school, she had a Route
66 lemonade stand made
out of a cardboard refrig-
erator box, and later she
tested her budding entre-
preneurial skills by
making hair scrunchies
and selling them at her
fathers convenience store.
At the heart of her
involvement in Lemonade
Day, though, is a mission
that brings a repressed
tear or two when she talks
about it: helping the
community by offering
payback for the assistance
she received along the
way.
It is the kind of philan-
thropic responsibility
Lemonade Day hopes to
instill in young people.
People, Shirey said,
have invested in me, and
I think its important to
give back. I wouldnt be
in the position Im in, I
wouldnt be doing what
Im doing had it not been
for people taking their
time to invest in me.
