As a result of the Memphis City
Schools student performance on the
2012 Tennessee Comprehensive
Assessment Program (TCAP) tests
over the past three years, 20 schools
have been named to the state’s 2011-
2012 Reward Schools list, the most of
any other district across the state. On
Monday, August 27 Tennessee
Governor Bill Haslam and Education
Commissioner Kevin Huffman
announced 169 schools as the 2011-
2012 Reward Schools, the top 5
percent of schools in the state for
annual growth and the top 5 percent for
academic achievement.
“Once again our students have shown
that they can meet high expectations.
I am very pleased with their
performance and this honor is a direct
result of the difficult work of our
teachers, principals and students,” said
Memphis City Schools Superintendent
Kriner Cash. “As MCS and SCS
prepare to merge, Reward Schools are
demonstrating how essential it is to
accelerate our shared work on teacher
and leadership effectiveness.”
The 2011-2012 Reward Schools
made impressive accomplishments
during a year when Tennessee saw
unprecedented gains on the
statewide Tennessee
Comprehensive Assessment
Program (TCAP).
Tennessee’s new accountability
system rewards growth and
recognizes schools’ varying
baselines, every school in the state
can strive for the Reward Schools
designation.
Congratulations to Principal Sandra
Johnson, faculty/staff, and students
at Ida B. Wells Academy for
making the 2011-2012 Rewards
Schools list.

2011-2012 Reward School
It was extremely humbling to me to know my Principal nominated me for
this honor! There are so many great teachers and physical educators
throughout the district, so to be selected as one of the best is extremely
an honor. I believe it comes from being a hard worker, trying new ideas,
staying current in our field, and most importantly….. Loving my Job! I
love working with high school students and teaching them something
that can make a difference in their lives. I also enjoy developing strong
rapport with the students so that I’m a positive influence in their lives. I
am proud to be the 2012 recipient for the Health Physical Education
Lifetime Wellness (HPELW) teacher of the year!
We would like to recognize Mrs.
Yaschia Dillard, Physical
Education Teacher for being
recognized by her peers as P.E.
Educator of the Year. Mrs.
Dillard has been a P.E. Teacher
for 11 years and has worked at
Southeast Prep Academy for
the last 3 years. She
incorporates innovative ideas
with physical fitness to ensure
all of our students are leading a
healthy lifestyle.

Men of Distinction
Men of Distinction was organized and created July 1, 2012,
with the purpose to unite young male students within the
division of Memphis City Schools. As a member of the (N W
P A Chapter) Men Of Distinction, our students must strive for
academic excellence, develop positive mentor / mentee
relationships by providing an a atmosphere for instruction in
moral, ethical and responsible living by mature young men.
The initial group began with only six members and wanted to
serve the Memphis Community. They began by having can-
drives to provide “Thanksgiving and Christmas Baskets “and
feeding needy families at various sites in the community.
The following year, our memberships grew from six to fifteen
members. This growth was due to the positive impact and
leadership of the original six members. During our second
year, M O D began to participate in “step shows” at school
and in the community. This was received in a very positive
manner with requests from the community to perform. There
are ten characteristics that M O D looked for in young men
who apply for membership. Qualifications are on the next
page.
Volume 9, Issue 1 Since 2003
Qualifications:
1. Respect for Self.
2. Respect for Peers and Staff Members.
3. Ability to Lead and Follow.
4. Ability to make positive decisions.
5. Good time management.
6. Maintain good personal hygiene.
7. Demonstrate maturity and independent thinking at all times.
8. Be punctual to meetings and scheduled events.
9. Communicate with Peers and Staff members effectively.
10.Be a team player reflecting the positive qualities of not only yourself but
the M O D organization.
Several members have graduated and attend college at South West,
LeMoyne Owen and Arkansas Pine Bluff. Currently, members are planning
to give Thanksgiving Baskets to the families in need in the community.

Adolescent Parenting Program teams up with The Ronald
McDonald House for Service Learning
Adolescent Parenting Program teamed up with The Ronald
McDonald House for this year’s service learning project. For their
first event, the students baked cookies for the patients and their
parents. In addition, they sanitized toys and other areas in the
house. After completing these tasks, the students stuffed
envelopes for The Big Ice Cream Scoop. The students enjoyed
giving back to their community.

Mrs. Hardaway, The Adolescent
Parenting Programs’ daycare
coordinator, worked diligently to get our
qualified students registered to vote.
Not only did she assist those who were
eligible in completing the registration
process, she also took the students to
vote. She transported all five of our
eligible students to Mississippi
Boulevard Christian Church to
participate in their first voting
experience over a two-day period.
These exhilarating excursions took
place on Thursday, October 25th and
Friday, October 26th. The early voting
location opened at 10AM; our students
were there at 9:30AM each day. They
were some of the first participants in
line. The entire process took about an
hour both times. Way to go Mrs.
Hardaway and APP students!!

Career and College Focus
Here at Southeast Prep Academy, we are focusing on preparing our
students for the global workforce. Recruiters from colleges, technology
centers, armed forces and many more visit our school yearly to inform
students on options available after high school. This is one of many
counseling services that are offered here on site.

Swagged out Fridays at MLK!
Students who attend MLK Academy are given the opportunity to wear their
street clothes to school on Friday if they meet the following criteria:
No absences (including Dress for Success Wednesday)
No tardies
No parent conferences or suspensions
No office referrals
As long as students meet the above criteria, students are permitted to wear
their personal wardrobe on Friday. Students can wear what they want, with
the following exceptions:
No screen print
No hats in the building
No shades in the building
No sagging
No indecent exposure (extra tight, mid riff tops, muscle shirts, short shorts
or mini skirts)
No obscene or offensive messages
This incentive was initiated last year as part of MLK’s implementation of
PBIS. The students are tracked from week to week to see who makes the
Dress Down Friday list two weeks, three week, four weeks, etc. Students
who make it multiple weeks in a row are given extra rewards. The numbers
of students making DDF multiple weeks in a row have drastically increased
from last year. Great job MLK students!

Kingian Training
MLK scholars know the Kingian Principles. If you don’t believe
that, stop in some time at the little school on the corner of
Georgia Avenue and Lauderdale and ask a student at random.
Chances are they can list most of the principles, explain the
history behind the principles, and how to apply them. Dr. King’s
Principles of Non Violence are nothing new to Memphis City
Schools. However, the administration and faculty at MLK
Academy have taken extra care to guarantee our students know
and understand all six principles and the history behind the
principles. This is important not only because the school is
named in honor of the man who operated his movement by
these principles but also because of the populations we serve.
Most of the students who attend MLK Academy have some
history with violence. So, the educators at MLK Academy put
their heads together and decided to teach a different principle
each week. There are nine weeks in a grading period and only
six principles. Therefore before the end of each grading period,
most all of the students are very familiar with all six principles.
The principles are taught during homeroom and reinforced in
each class and during Monday Morning Meetings, as well as
other times during the week. Way to go MLK Scholars for
learning and applying the Kingian Principles of Nonviolence!
Volume 9, Issue 1 Since 2003
MLK Students Are Customer Friendly
The World can be a cold and cruel place. Thankfully that is not the case at
MLK Academy. Any visitor to the school is likely to be greeted by our
friendly students. The administration and faculty at MLK Academy are
training students to greet all visitors with a smile and the following statement
“Good morning/afternoon, my name is ________, I am a ___ grader at
Martin Luther King, Jr. Academy, and I would like to welcome you to our
school.” Students are also being taught to respond to each other and other
adults with “yes maam/sir” or “no maam/sir” or “maam/sir”. Since the adults
lead by example, students have the right to respectfully remind the adults in
the building when they fail to say “maam/sir” in their daily interactions. The
purpose of this training is threefold. First, students are helping to create a
friendly environment at the school. Second, students are learning to be bold
and speak to strangers in a proper manner, boosting their confidence in
their ability to communicate with others. Third, students are being prepared
for adult interactions in the world of work and other professional settings.
Feel free to stop in and see how you are greeted by the students at MLK
Academy!
Principal Daniel Presents on Culture and Climate
Principal C. R. Daniel of MLK Academy was asked
to present at the Alternative Education Specialist In-
service, which was held August 1, 2012. The title of
his presentation was Best Practices in the Non-
Traditional Setting: Creating a Positive School
Culture and Climate.

School Supplies Daily
Since August 6, the first day of school for students, it has been mandatory for
all students to have paper and a writing utensil in order to attend class at
Martin Luther King, Jr. Academy. Students who do not come to class
prepared receive a parent conference. This practice was started last year,
but has been successful this year. Ninety-five percent of all students who
attend MLK Academy during the 2012-13 school year have had their
supplies daily. Only five percent of students have had to receive parent
conferences due to lack of supplies. Administration and faculty at the school
have worked consistently to communicate the same message. All students
must have their supplies in order to attend school. As a result, students are
prepared to learn. MLK administration and faculty want students to know that
it is not enough to just come to school and behave. Students must also come
prepared to learn and further their academic abilities. With such a great start,
we are sure MLK students will have an even greater finish!

As a fellow in the Memphis Teaching Policy
Fellowship, Mrs. Casie Jones was privileged to
attend a training session in Washington D.C on
August 10th and 11th . This was her first time to
visit our nation’s capital as well as to learn
about blogging. The training was sponsored by
The Gate’s Foundation and hosted by
Bellwether Education Partners. Bellwether was
an excellent host choosing highly qualified
professionals in Washington’s media world to
help teachers understand how to properly use
social media and blogging to discuss critical
educational issues. Mrs. Jones was joined by
24 other educational professionals from around
the country whose goals were to be a voice for
students. They received the royal treatment
and a vast amount of information. Though it
was a whirlwind trip of two days, Mrs. Jones
was eager to do a walking tour of the
monuments and museums. The downtown
area was beautiful, and of course, took a must-
have photo in front of the White House. Mrs.
Jones says she was also excited to visit the
Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial, as our school
MLK Academy is named in his honor. Mrs.
Jones says she will certainly return to D.C. in
the near future because it was overwhelmingly
rich in history and educational opportunities.
Hats off to Ms. Jones!
Mrs. Jones Goes to Washington!

TENNderCare Discusses Health and Disease Prevention with MLK Scholars
For the past two months, MLK scholars have been fortunate to have Elayen Allen,
Sandra Young, Marius Scott, and Antawuan Brown with them twice a month to
discuss health and disease prevention. The afore mentioned ladies and gentlemen
are part of a group called TENNderCare, and they travel to local schools to remind
students about the benefits offered to clients on the free program. Those benefits
include free checkups, dental checkups, dental serviced, medical treatment, and
behavioral health services. The program is available for children age birth to 21 years
of age. Services provided by TENNderCare make sure babies, children, teens, and
young adults receive the health care they need!

College Career Expo Huge Success for
MLK Seniors
Seniors at MLK Academy attended the College and
Career Expo at the Agricenter. Students came
dressed in professional attire and were prepared to
take full advantage of the day and what it had to offer.
Scholars were greeted by Ms. Felicia Orr from the
Tennessee Student Assistance Corporation. Ms. Orr
spoke to students about completing the FAFSA,
stressing the importance of deadlines to insure
receiving the maximum amount of aid. Next, our
scholars were off to visit the booths. MLK scholars
visited multiple booths for various colleges,
universities, military branches, and corporations.
Students took full advantage of the intended purpose
of the expo, as evident by the fact they were busy
visiting with recruiters and representatives, spending
little time sharing with their friends from the various
high schools represented at the expo. Many adults at
the expo complimented MLK scholars on both their
appearance and behavior at the expo. Great
representation scholars!

Susan Komen for the Cure
Community Service
On Saturday, October 27, 2012, the Division of Innovative and Charter
Schools joined the 2012 Race for a Cure at The Shops of Saddle Creek in
Germantown Tn. Sponsored by the Memphis Mid-South Affiliate of the Susan
G. Komen for the Cure Foundation, the local association contributes funds to
provide services including free mammograms, clinical breast exams and
breast self-exam information to women in Memphis and surrounding counties.
Founded in 1982 upon a sister’s promise, The Susan G. Komen for the Cure
is the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and
activists fighting to save lives, ensure quality care for all women, and energize
research efforts to find a cure for breast cancer. It is also the largest source of
nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world.
Today, there are more than two million breast cancer survivors alive in the
United States. That’s because breast cancer is found earlier due to increased
awareness, greater use of screening tests and better treatment options due to
programs like Komen for the Cure.
This was the division’s third year of participation in the Race for a Cure 5k
event. The division formalized a team called “Team Innovators”. A total of
42 teams joined under the category of public schools. Team Innovators was
one of 37 which received pledges towards the fundraising goal. Fundraising
efforts through pledges assisted with raising a record amount of $476,531.00,
which was above the local fundraising goal of $350,000.00.
Thanks to Faye Tolbert, Project Specialist at our divisional office, for serving
as this year’s Team Captain. Thanks to all staff, students, parents who
supported the division in this community service cause.

My story is simple. As I was celebrating my 57th Birthday, October 7, 2000,
my physician called me to his office for my birthday gift. The gift was, you
have breast cancer. It was the worst day of my life. I went to work at the old
St. Joseph Hospital and ran in the ladies’ room and screamed like a maniac.
A small still voice whispered in my ear and said I am with you, I will never
leave you nor forsake you so dry your eyes. Don’t you know I Love You? I
dried my eyes and looked for a sponsor at my church who also had breast
cancer. Stephanie Coleman was my bright spot, but God decided to bring
her home and leave me here. So here I am 12 years later, a Cancer
Survivor and giving back to the community. God left me here for a reason
and that is why I volunteer at Ida B. Wells Academy 40 hours a week without
pay, because God healed my body without pay (Jesus Paid It All). I am so
thankful and grateful to be alive and celebrate 69 years. If I can help
someone as I pass along, then my living shall not be in vain.
This is my story, this is my song, praising my Savior all the day long.

A noted civil rights pioneer and anti-lynching activist, Ida B. Wells was also
the centerpiece of a recent citywide memorial in honor of her life and legacy.
She was a life- long community activist who was forced to flee Memphis for
her anti-lynching journalism. Sponsored by Rhodes College, approximately
50 students and staff members attended a public forum Monday, Oct. 29,
featuring Paula Giddings, professor of African American Studies at Smith
College. Ms. Giddings is author of Ida: A Sword Among Lions, a prize
winning biography of the anti-lynching activist. Ms. Giddings met with
students and staff and expressed her delight with the school’s participation
in the community celebration. She also noted that Ida B. Wells would be
proud to know that a school was thriving in the Memphis community which
honored her life and legacy. The school was also introduced and recognized
by Rhodes College President, William Troutt. He encouraged the students
to continue in their academic progress in order to attend schools like
Rhodes College in the future.
