Russel Finnessey-Cook
Russel Finnessey-Cook, art teacher at Lannoye, Hillcrest, and Fairview Elementary Schools, was nominated by Colleen Miner and the Fairview Staff for the Pulaski Community School District Volunteer Service Recognition Award. Finnessey- Cook was nominated for his working in painting murals in the library at Fairview Elementary School. He has been working in the district for over thirty years as an art teacher and when you walk down the halls of Fairview School you are amazed at his students’ art work. Finnessey-Cook decided to share his love and talent of art work with the entire school by volunteering his time on weekends, after school, over the summer, and during his prep time to paint beautiful characters on the library walls to bring reading to life for the students and staff. A library is the central focus of an elementary school and now Fairview has a warm and inviting atmosphere due to his work. When Finnessey-Cook began his project, he incorporated the students’ choices in the drawings. He created drafts of pictures and then students were able to vote

Last year she set up tents in our library area as “reading tents,” and had teachers and other community people come and read a story to the families. This year the hallways were lled with literature samples that the children had written, along with the product of many writing activities set up in our commons area for the whole family to enjoy.

made dozens of these mitten pairs successfully raising hundreds of dollars for the music theater program. For the past three years, Jeff has generously donated his time and talents building set pieces for “Seussical, The Musical”, “Bye Bye Birdie”, and “Willy Wonka.” It seems as though Jeff never stops thinking about and creating new ideas to enhance the set. He never seizes to amaze us when he arrives at parent build days and after school rehearsals with “New and improved” plans and sketches of the set. Due to his strong work ethic Jeff has been placed in charge of some of our most com plicated set designs including the rotating scaffold used throughout each musical for the backdrops, a life sized three dimensional tree and bird nest used in “Seussical” and a full sized, fully operational “chocolate” waterfall that will make its debut during “Willy Wonka” although Jeff constantly reassures the team that this is his “release” after a long day at work. The team believes that it takes a very special and genuine person to invest this tremendous amount of time into providing the students of PCMS with such beautiful creations to add to their musical theater experience. With over two-hundred middle school students involved in the musical each year, Rolean and Jeff have inuenced the lives of over eight-hundred students over the past four years. Their generosity and willingness to serve has certainly not gone unnoticed by the musical directors, but somehow a verbal thank you does not seem like an adequate way to show them how truly appreciated they are. Perhaps, recognition by the Pulaski School District would prove to be a more effective way to help them understand what a signicant role they have played in all of our lives and will demonstrate just how valued they are. Without the help that they have given, the musical productions would not be the huge success they have been, and will be.

for many years until her “retirement” from this volunteer position at the end of the 2008-2009 school year when her youngest daughter moved on to Pulaski Middle School. I don’t even know how many years Mrs. Wood was in charge of the Book Fair at Lannoye. She helped the new Book Fair parent’s transition to their new role this year and was on call for advice and counsel whom I know Mrs. Armstrong and Mrs. Wasilew really appreciated. Mrs. Wood loves books and reading. She did a great job of promoting the Book Fairs without without families. She was organized, efcient, and enthusiastic as she handled all the Book Fair duties including set up, coordinating volunteers to work with her, sales, promotion with kids, teachers, and families, and take down of the dis plays. This was done three times a year. Thank you Laurie for all you did to get books in the hands of kids and families, in classrooms, and in our Library. You have done a lot to promote reading at Lannoye School. Thank you from the Lannoye School Community!

for over 20 years! A thank you from our school goes out to the family for their donations. The two main competitions, Tech Challenge and Knowledge Bowl, are designed to promote and reward excellence in academic and technical skills, to provide scholarship opportunities to promising students and to encourage pursuit of post-secondary education. Students are judged and placed in the following categories: Star First, Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals and then a ribbon for various events. Tech Challenge deals with business and computers, model building, jewelry, print media, drafting-architectural, machine tool, welding, wood tech, electricity, diesel engines, mathematics, science and early childhood trades. All the competitions that take place are live and right on the campus. The students work from the project instructions to create whatever the judges advise. Knowledge Bowl is a live, fast-paced quiz and the students need to have knowledge of math, language, sciences, technical skills, computer, and other areas such as psychology, sociology, and economics. Questions are taken from the content of standard high school and technical college entry level courses. Students that competed from Pulaski include the following: Cassidy Holtz, who received a Gold rating in building under 1,800 square feet; and Kelly Schwister, who received a Gold rating in building under 1,800 square feet and a Bronze rating in Architectural. Each competitor received a medal.

As you strive to achieve your long-term goals, such as a comfortable retirement, you may, at times, feel frustrated over events you can’t inuence, such as the up-and-down movements of the nancial markets. Yet there is much you can control — once you determine the answers to just ve key questions. Sammy Nyamongo, an international elite runner from Kenya who is running the Cellcom Green Bay Marathon, visited Hillcrest Elementary School on May 13 to share his experiences about becoming an elite athlete with the Hillcrest Running Club. Nyamongo talked about how he came to America and stressed the importance of exercise for a healthy and successful life. Nyamongo has run 32 marathons and has won 6 marathons, including the Cellcom. Fifty students, parents, and staff will also be participating in the Cellcom 2.62 mile run.
Where am I today? Take stock of all your assets — your IRA, 401(k) and other savings and investment accounts. Then, do the same for your debts, such as your mortgage and any other nancial obligations. On your nancial journey through life, it’s essential that you know your starting point. Where would I like to be? Once you’ve established where you are today, you’ll need to identify where you’d like to be tomorrow. How much will you need to pay for the retirement lifestyle you’ve envisioned? Will you be able to help pay for your children’s children’s or grandchildren’s college educaeducation? Will you need to support any other family members? At this stage, you’ll want to write down all your goals and put a price tag on each one. Can I get there? After you’ve identied your goals, determine if they are, in fact, achievable. By considering a variety of factors — including your likely future income stream and your family situation — you should be able to determine if you can attain your goals or if you need to modify them in some way. How do I get there? Now it’s time to put a strategy into action. Specically, you need to choose those investments that can help you pursue the goals you’ve selected. Your ideal portfolio will depend on your risk tolerance and time horizon, but in general, you’ll want a diversied mix of quality investments. While diversication, by itself, cannot guarantee a prot or protect against loss, it can help reduce the effects of volatility. As you put together your holdings, make sure you understand what you can expect from your investments. For example, growth stocks may offer the highest potential returns, but they also carry the greatest risk. On the other hand, investment-grade bonds can offer a steady income stream and, barring the default of the issuer, will repay your principal when they mature.

How can I stay on track? Once you’ve built your investment portfolio, you’ll need to review it regularly — at least once a year — to help ensure it’s still meeting your needs. After all, many things can and will change in your life, such as your family situation, your goals, your employment and your risk tolerance. To address these changes, you’ll need to adjust your portfolio over time. As you can see, answering all these questions will take both work and expertise. That’s why you may want to work with a professional nancial advisor to help you identify your goals and create a strategy for pursuing them. In any case, though, start asking — and answering — these ve key questions as soon as you can. It’s easier to reach your nancial goals if you put time on your side.
