School's out - now is the time for some creative parenting School is officially over today. June 9 is the last day for students in Cape Henlopen. The euphoria will last about a week, and then the children will begin snapping at each other and parents, complain- ing that there is nothing to do. They have exhausted their repertoire of things considered fun. Fun is renting movies, stay- ing up late, playing with friends (but not outside if it's too hot) and eating everything that is refriger- ated or in a cardboard box. Time for some creative parent- ing. Children need help in balanc- ing out their time in summer. A good approach is to plan with them, giving them a lot of free- dom with some specialty camps thrown in for good measure. This serves many purposes. Sending a child to camp extends their expe- riences and friendships. It sepa- rates siblings, therefore cutting down on the arguing, and gives SCHOOL JOURNAL DIANE ALBANE',;E parents a break. Rehoboth Art League offers a variety of summer camps that are designed to tap into the creative side of children. Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain is a camp for kids ages 9 to 12 that will pres- ent an opportunity for children to develop drawing techniques creat- ed by Dr. Betty Edwards in her popular book of the same title. Pottery classes will focus on hand-built and wheel-built tech- niques. Other classes include exploration of painting, collage and sculpture. School board awards The school board routinely gives out awards to students who have achieved some success in a variety of endeavors. Last month, they handed out over 90 awards to a standing room only crowd in the Cape Henlopen High School library. The students seemed a lit- tle stunned to be there. Some were dressed up in their Sunday best; others had been hauled off • the baseball field to attend the cer- emony, still in their team shirts. Board members June Turansky and Estie Class and superintend- ent Dr. Andy Brandenberger seemed pleased to be able to rec- ognize so much talent. Turansky said it was the part of the job she liked the most. One thing is cer- tain: many families were drawn into the school board process by offering awards at the school board meeting, and that is a good thing. Many awards were given for the Science Olympiad and the region- al Science Fair. This year, one Cape team took first place in the Odyssey of the Mind contest. The team includes Jennifer Betts, Laura Betts, Joseph Cooper, Josh Cooper, Emma Glasscock and Kiran Peri. They will compete in the World Finals in Knoxville, Tenn. Good luck! The Delaware Press Association gave Beth Redden, Linsday Morris and Amanda Messick top honors for journalism in the Viking Ventures, the Cape Henlopen High School newspa- per. Sam Cashdollar received the highest accolade with his VFW essay on veterans. He was hon- ored by the veterans and also with a visit to Sen. Joe Biden in Washington, D.C. Biden liked Sam's idea to create a week to honor veterans, so he introduced legislation in. Congress to initiate this special week. Not only is Cashdollar in the Congressional Record, he is thought of as a young person with big ideas. Sam's teachers and parents must be very proud of him. Giving certificates to students at a school board meeting is a meam ingful way for the community to take time to recognize individual and group achievement, and to encourage academic excellence.
