Left to right; Marie Bowen, Leah Martin, Kyle Richards, - Caleb Beach, Shon Sheffield, Daniel Asgari. ¢ Students’ kindness reaches all the way to Honduras By Alan Hodge Students at East School in Kings Mountain got a valuable lesson in international brother- hood last week. Making practi- cal application of the school's November theme of "Kindness," students of grades K-6 collected their spare change for two weeks to aid hurricane victims in Honduras. The money added up fast. Deposited in quart jars placed in each classroom, the funds were then pooled into two large water cooler jugs. By the time the drive was over, over 115 pounds of pennies and about 15 more pounds of silver and pa- per money was hauled to First Charter Bank for totaling. The grand tally was an impressive $601.51. The final destination of the students’ money was mission- ary family Larry and Jean Elliot, directly on the front lines of the hurricane relief in the city of Tegucigalpa. East School principal Jerry Hoyle was proud of the kids and the lesson they learned this holiday season. "We think the students got a good lesson in generosity," said Hoyle. "We didn't involve the parents or community groups in this because. we wanted it to be the kids' project.” Knowing that they had a part helping others in a devastated land is a lesson that all the chil- dren at East School will carry with them many years after their classroom days are just a memory. Massey teacher of the month By Alan Hodge Kings Mountain High School's Teacher of the Month and Athletic Director Ron Massey is a man at home on the field or behind a desk. A coach whose reputation for winning teams is known statewide, Massey looks to motivate all his students to do their best. "My biggest challenge is to make productive citizens of all . students; vassey said: MI try‘to HTB Re honor BF success in whatever they try to do." Now in his fourth year at Kings Mountain, Massey tried life in several places Down East before coming here to the Piedmont. "I'm originally from Graham," Massey said. "Some of the RON MASSEY places I've lived include Little Washington, Lumberton, and Fayetteville." Having experienced that di- versity of locales helped Massey appreciate. the Kings Mountain way of doing things. "One asset’ that Kings Mountain has'is its family at- mosphere," "Massey said. "Everyone here seems to pull together for common goals." Like many educators today, Ron Massey knows his job is more than just teaching. Taking something he relishes. "Teaching today goes beyond the classroom," Massey says. "A person must have strong ties to education to be both teacher and counselor," Ron Massey, and his stu- dents, are winners on and off the field. Dilling to attend D.C. ‘classroom’ Marylee Hoyle Dilling, a stu- dent at Kings Mountain High School, will travel to the na- tions capital as a participant in the Presidential Classroom Scholars Program, America’s premier civic education pro- gram, March 6-13, 1999.
