! Vocational
organizations
build leaders
Nearly 80,000 young people
across North Carolina are building
jtheir leadership skills through in
volvement with vocational student
organization in their high schools.
- Nearly 40 percent of the students
| In vocational education in North
' Carolina belong to vocational stu
dent organizations. In addition to
leadership opportunities, these
groups offer students a chance to
Further refine the skills they learn
in their secondary vocational pro
grams, help them develop their ca
reer goals and serve as an intro
duction to the world of work, said
fiob Etheridge, superintendent of
the N.C. Department of Public In
^ struction.
' The organizations work in con
junction with classroom activities
to help students develop their voca
tional skills. Part of this effort is
seen in the groups' local, district,
state and national skills competi
tions. During 1987-88, 21,157 stu
dents across North Carolina were
involved in these competitions on
the district level, and 12,310 stu
dents from the state attended their
organizations' annual meetings,
) where they participated in lead
ership and skills development ac
tivities. There were 33 individuals
or teams winning first place in
their respective national competi
tions.
"Student organization activities
and competitive events signifi
cantly enhance the classroom in
struction by our public school tea
chers," said Dr. Clifton B. Belcher,
director of the Division of Vocatio
B nal Education. "These groups
really help teachers 'Build Tomor
row's Leaders.'" State leaders of
the organizationsa agree that they
have benefited greatly from the
time they invest in the organiza
tions.
Students at Perquimans High
are offered a wide range of vocatio
nal classes including economics,
computers, accounting, typing, of
fice occupations, home economics,
child development, agriculture,
P gardening, industrial arts and me
chanics.
Organizations that students may
join are FFA, FHA-HERO and
FBLA. This year, a vocational
honor society has been established.

Hertford Grammar School Chalkdust
Students at Hertford Grammar
School have been participating in a
very important program this year.
They've been learning about dental
care and once a week swishing
with a special floride rinse to help
protect their teeth against plaque
and cavities. Parents, please en
courage your kids to take good
care of their teeth because we do
enjoy their sweet smiles and want
them to keep their teeth and smiles
forever.
Since February is designated as
National Children's Dental Health
Month, third graders were treated
with a visit from a very special
dentist, Dr. Mary Marshal. Stu
dents were taught the importance
of taking care of their teeth. They
were also informed of ways to pre
vent accidents to the teeth and
gums and what to do in case of inju
ries to permanent teeth.
Creative stories
Students in Mrs. Long's third
grade are excited about Valen
tine's Day. They have written the
following creative stories to share
wjth us.
HEARTS
Hearts are good to share on Val
entine's Day because hearts are
made of love. You can share that
love with many others. Sometimes
you can make hearts out of paper,
and on Valentine's Day you can
give those paper hearts to some
friends. Hearts are fun to share,
by Becky Lewis
Hearts are symbols of love, and
they are usually red. Have you
ever heard of Cupid? He is the an
gel of love. Cupid has a bow and
arrow on the front of the arrow,
there is a heart.
by Torrence Perry
Post office visit
Students in Mrs. Ward's kinder
garten class made Valentine's for
their parents, then learned their
addresses and on Monday they
made a special trip to the post of
fice to mail their extra special Val
entine's. While at the post office
they enjoyed a tour of the facilities.
They are also proud to announce
that they are the first Hertford
Grammar School class to win a
prize for their extra-good behavior
during Mrs. Jane Parr's music
class. Way to go guys! Keep up the
good work!
