had a good year! They
deserve a lot of credit for
working to improve as
they did.
The big night is almost

really working diligently,
and with all the hard
work they are putting out,
we know everything will
be in readiness for Friday
night's Junior Senior
Prom.
The golf team played in
Kinston on Monday. They
did not win and therefore
will not be competing in

But good luck next year!

Television Workshop Held
At South Warren Monday
A district-wide parent
television viewing
workshop was held at
South Warren Elementary
School on
Monday. The workshop
was sponsored by the
District Advisory Council
for the Title I ESEA
Reading Program for all
parents in the Warren
County schools.
Ms. Betty Mosley,
consultant, conducted the
informative workshop.
Sixteen parents were in
attendance from South
Warren, Mariam Boyd,
John Graham, John R.
Hawkins, North Warren
and Northside schools.
Otis Hawkins, principal
of South Warren
Elementary School,
welcomed the parents to
South Warren. He
extended them an
invitation to get involved
in the schools by
becoming volunteers. Ms.
Audrey Davis, homeschool
coordinator,
welcomed the parents to
the workshop and urged
them to get involved in it.
She thanked them for
taking time out of their
busy schedules to attend.
Each of the parents
introduced themselves
and told their children's
names and the school that
they attended. Mrs. Mary
Hunter, community
school coordinator,
briefly discussed her
program. She entertained
questions from various
parents.
Ms. Mosley gave an
overview of the items that
would be covered in the
workshop after being
introduced by Ms. Davis.
She discussed the
structure of television how
it is set up, types of
television programs,
parental values,
television values, and
conflicts and reinforcement.
She pointed
out that television
is such a big business that
consumers can not
influence the television
programs that are aired.
The three major
networks, ABC, NBC, and
CBS, determine what
consumers watch.
She suggested some
ways that parents can
control what their
children watch and solve
the mediocrity on
television. Some of the
suggested ways are: (1)
let your children hear you
respond negatively to
programs that you feel
are not in child's best
interest, (2) develop
criteria for judging the
programs that are
watched, (3) don't be a
passive viewer, (4)
advocate educational
programs especially
those on channel 4 or
other educational
stations, and lastly, if

conducive to learning on
the television, turn it off.
The parent* divided
into four groups
according to their

overall message, (4)
violence and sex,
(5)attitudes toward
portrayal of minorities,
(6) attitudes toward
