In an effort to bring aware-
ness to local issues and in-
still an important of service
to others in young people
today, Mrs. Gulley’s Eng-
lish classes collected new,
full-sized hygiene products
for “Project Fill a Bag.”
Their efforts supported the
HEARTH program which
benefits at risk or homeless
students in Polk County. So
far, the classes have collect-
ed over 20 bags filled with
soap, shampoos, tooth-
brushes and more! For more
information, go the Polk
County website and find the
HEARTH program’s
“Project Fill a Bag” flyer.
On January 5, 2016 the Lakeland Ledger shed light on
the 2014-2015 Graduation Rates for Polk County
Schools. Polk's graduation rate showed a slight increase
back to 69.4 percent in 2014-15, which is where it had
been in 2012-13. The Florida Department of Education
released federal graduation rates Tuesday for the state,
school districts and schools. The rate measures the percentage of students who
graduate with a standard diploma within four years of their first enrollment in
ninth grade. Eleven Polk County high schools boosted their rates, while five
had a decrease. Lake Wales High School, part of the Lake Wales charter
school system, had the largest increase. Its graduation rate was 78.3 percent,
up 7.8 percentage points. Kathleen High School had the second biggest in-
crease. It had a 70.9 percent graduation rate, up 6.7 percentage points.
We are truly appreciative of the hard work done by our students, teachers, and
staff ! To read the entire article please visit the Lakeland Ledger at:

Mr. Whit’s ADV Tech APPL (A wheel class at CFAA) got a real life example of the shop safety section and 1 student, Katie Esker, got a real close view. During the Aerospace Exploration event the Traviss Aircraft Powerplant class provided the demonstration for an 8th grade field trip and also ran the en-gine for the wheel class. The students were able to observe the reason for hearing protection and the force of a jet engine.

6:25 am in the Choice
Room.
Sun-n-Fun Aerospace Exploration Event at CFAA
This was an historic year in women’s sports in Polk County. For the first year, girls in Polk
County were able to participate in
separate weightlifting competitions.
Girls weightlifting records in Florida
go back to 2004, but previously girls
in Polk County who wanted to partic-
ipate had to do so with the boys in
the Spring.
Girls compete in weight classes, per-
forming two lifts-the bench press and
the clean and jerk. The total weight
from those two lifts are combined. It isn’t just about pure strength. Girls must learn specific
techniques, from breathing to stance to placement, to maximize their strength and help them be
successful in their lifts. Coach Sasser and Mrs. Sasser have worked with the girls this year to
help them reach their potential.
We are proud of our KHS Inaugural Team. Their next meet date is in District Competition at
George Jenkins High School on Saturday, January 16.

Thanks to the Dart Foundation, students in K-12 are learning about
water, its properties, its uses, and how it travels in nature through
what’s initially called the “Water Cycle.” In more advanced studies
like Earth-Space Science, this becomes the “Hydrologic Cycle.”
But why just study it, why not touch it, measure it, and really under-
stand it?” Thanks to KHS’ Earth Space Science teacher, Mr.
Bartuska and his recent Grant Award from the Dart Foundation of
$4,470.00, students will soon be physically measuring all the as-
pects of the of the Hydrologic Cycle, especially as it applies to Flor-
ida. All of KHS’s ninth-grade Earth-Space Science classes will be able to experience hands-on learning with
sophisticated instrumentation and Three Dimensional Modeling of the
Florida Aquifer System. Students will use real instrumentation to meas-
ure Stream Flow, Rainfall Intensity, Dew Point, and Humidity. Mr.
Bartuska plans to further enrich the lessons by inviting Licensed Hydrolo-
gists and Water Resource Engineers from the Southwest Florida Water
Management District and other local municipalities and Engineering
Firms. This opportunity to interact with real Scientists, Engineers, and
Technicians will provide a meaningful experience for students to experience what it means to work as a Pro-
fessionals in the Scientific and Engineering field.
A very special thanks is in order for Mrs. Mango, Mrs. Troutman, Chanel Jackson
(FCA Leader), Tyra Harriell, Deashana Allen, Kiyana Allen, Tobias Larry, and Na-
than Taylor for their participation in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes annual
Fall Neighborhood Clean Up. The neighborhood clean-up took place on Saturday
December 12, 2015 from 8:00am-12:00pm. One of the focus areas of service for
FCA is community and they all did a great job helping serve the community.
