They appearalmost like walking billboardsthat remind us all thatthis initiative is important toSpringfield LocalSchools–and has been embracedby the entire community.Our community is nowwell aware that Olweus is amultilevel, multicomponentschool-based program designedto prevent or reducebullying. It is not a quick fixStudents share Thanksgiving turkey recipesSome elementary studentsin Springfield LocalSchools were asked to sharetheir favorite Thanksgivingturkey recipes.The following statementswere provided by Mrs.Kasir’s kindergarten andfirst grade friends fromCrissey Elementary School.“First, you gotta take offthe skin, then put it in theoven and let it cook. Whenyou hear the “ding,” then it’sdone, then you can eat it.”–Peaches, first grade“First, pick the feathersoff then fry it for 10 minutes,then put it in the oven, thenput whipped cream on it likea smile face, then sit downand eat it.”–DJ, kindergarten“First I would cook it forseven minutes, then I wouldlet it cool down, then put hotpeppers on it with a fewdrops of hot sauce.”–Daniel, first grade“Take the turkey, cook itfive minutes, try to sit at thetable and let the food come!”–Xzavior, kindergarten“You need to get it out ofits wrapper.

Iwill start the grill and then Iwill cook it for 15 minutes.Then I eat it.”Taylor, first grade“Put it in the oven for 10more minutes then take it outand eat it.”–Jesse, kindergartenStudents at Dorr alsoshared the following recipes.“You can get a live turkeyat Walmart in the garden partof the store. You can put iton the table and with a sharpknife, stab it.Get a towel and clean upthe blood. Chop off thefeathers with a bigger knife.Clean it off and put it in arectangle or circle pan. Puttwo packs of butter and onepack of flour on top. Putsome ham or turkey meat insidethe turkey. Put the ovenon 250 degrees.”–Devin“There is two differentways to get a turkey. You canbuy it at Krogers or go in thewoods and get your own. Ithink you should go to thewoods and leave a trail ofmini marshmallows. Hidebehind a bush and then whenyou hear ‘gobble gobble,’jump out and put a paper bagover the turkey. Make surethere’s holes in the bag, littleones so the turkey canbreathe but not escape.The best way to do it isfirst pluck out all its feathers,then kill it.Most people have a watermelonknife, so stabbingit is the best way to kill it. Ifit’s big, wash it off in a kiddiepool with hand sanitizerto get all the germs off.We don’t know wherethose turkeys go at night.Put the turkey in a bigrectangle pan. Put stuffingthat has little green meatballsinside the turkey tomake it really, really good.Pour three drops oftomato juice on top. Cook itin the oven at 2 degrees for20 minutes.When it’s done, you takea fork and taste it to see ifit’s good.”–Ceve“I go to Giant Eagle toget our turkey. It’s a threepounder! It cost about $20.Get six potatoes, five apples,seven bananas and 10 tomatoes.Mash them real goodand then stuff it in theturkey.Sometimes people putchicken broth in it too.Cook it for overnight atmedium temperature. Thenget a fork and pull out thefeathers or you can keepthem for next fall. Then putthem up on the side of thedoors.”–Jonathan“I saw a turkey in somebody’syard when I was onBus 4. They had a lot of stuffon their front porch. You canget a gun and shoot it.Put it in the shower anduse dish soap to wash it.Then shave off the featherswith a new razor, becauseyou don’t want blood andfeathers on your razor. Takea knife and cut out thebones. Pour five jars ofspaghetti sauce inside theturkey and put nine shakesof pepper on top. Put it in therefrigerator, then whenyou’re ready to eat it, put itin the oven for nine minutesat 80 degrees. It would beeasier if you just go to afancy restaurant and buy aturkey cooked. It would costabout $800.”–Haley“You have to get a wholebunch of different coloredpaper from Dollar General.Then use your scissors to cutout a big circle and a littlecircle. Color a little eye onthe little circle.Then cut out a little triangleon it like a mouth. Cutout feathers and glue themon.Hang it on a tree like aChristmas tree. Then have ahuge pepperoni pizza withyour mom, dad, brothers andgrandmas.”–Breanna“My mom buys a turkeyat Kroger. She cleans it withwater and hand soap. Youhave to clean the inside toget out the bones. She puts itin the oven.Then she puts stuffing inthe hole. The stuffing hasdressing, pepper and cornchips. She cooks the turkeyfor 10 minutes. When I cansmell it, it’s done.”–DiegoSpringfield High School NewsSome of the many SHS students who volunteered on Devils GIve a Day.By Steve Gwin, PrincipalGive high school studentsthe day-off fromschool and you can expectthem to sleep in, go to themovies, maybe hang-outwith their friends, right?Well, I am sure that thiswas the case for some of ourstudents ... but for more than100 others, the November14 “teacher work day” providedtime to participate in“Devils Give a Day.”This is the third year thatour Students In Action leadersorganized a variety ofservice opportunities fortheir classmates.Devils Give a Day is alwaysheld on a day whenclasses are not in session,and is quickly becoming oneof our students favorite SHStraditions.This year, locations werespread throughout the community,including theLutheran Village at WolfCreek and two differentservice projects at SpringfieldHigh School.Students continued effortsto sew pillowcases forthe ConKerr Cancer initiativewhile others wrappedgifts for clients of St. Paul’sCommunity Center.
