Pep rally prepares students for test BY BEN LEDBETTER StaffiWriteric ror i vinola Jeff Johnson believes in rein- forcement. Johnson was speaking to a group of third-fifth grade stu- dents at East Elementary at a pep rally for the end of grade tests. Johnson, who works with STV on the WB, the outreach ef- fort for WEVT-TV, said he goes to approximately 200 schools a year throughout the station's 26 county viewing area to encour- age students before their end of grade tests. “Even though kids hear it, they don’t hear it enough,” Johnson said about kids learn- ing about character education along with the other subjects. To encourage the students, Johnson keeps his message sim- ple and uses'no fancy props or gadgets. “I just try to use my enthusi- asm and project it out so they can become a part of it too,” Johnson said. Relaxation before the exam was not the only thing students had to look forward to, East Principal Jerry Hoyle said that the students will be able to earn a night out bowling if they do well on the tests. Terri Lewis, Director of Communities in Schools for Kings Mountain, said the pep rally was a way to relax for both teachers and students. “It’s motivational and a stress reliever for the teachers and the students,” Lewis said. “Every year we try to do something the day before just to kind of break the tension and get everybody relaxed, and have a little bit of fun.” Johnson started his presenta- tion on the front lawn of the school by telling the students the benefits of knowledge, tips for taking tests and good eating habits. “You are the most precious gift we have on the planet,” Johnson said before eating a part of his freezer pop which were handed out to the stu- dents. To enforce the meaning of his message, Johnson had the chil- dren raise their hand and take an oath to do their best on the tests. But when he asked them to promise to eat more green, leafy vegetables, the children caught on quickly.

Last year, Mr. Taylor passed out while driving his car. After regaining consciousness, he called his Sanger Clinic cardiologist, Dr. Douglas Boyerte. Dr. Boyette immediately had him taken ro Cleveland Regional Medical Center where he implanted a pacemaker. “It’s unbelievable,” Mr. Taylor says. “That little pacemaker has a tiny computer in there that knows what your heart's supposed to be doing. I feel better than I have in years. Not tired or weak.” Ever the humorist, Mr. Taylor adds, “Of course, I don’t think the doctor set the pacemaker right since I still slice the ball.” Feeling confident about his health, Mr. Taylor is quick to sing the praises of Cleveland Regional and the Sanger Clinic. “It’s so good to know you can get attended § | to efficiently and quickly. i feel so much better WR \ we've got the hospital equipped the way it is and that a branch of Sanger Clinic is here.” So take heart. The Cleveland Regional Heart Center has the tools, talent and technology for your family, too. » www.clevelandregional.org Page 11A TE BN I ow 0 40 0 nd RATATAT A ATAMARAR AF AA CT EVRA AYN ACS SEER ERD DBI BSI EA A TA AAT A A ATA TATA BATA SA ANAT AAS SAT RATS I - vi
