Message from Vice
Principal Redfearn
Student of the
Week Hello, my name is Cornelius Redfearn, and I am in my
3rd year as an assistant principal here at Lowe's Grove
Middle School. I spent much of my educational career
in elementary, but I truly enjoyed learning the middle
school model. I have missed the day-to-day, face-to-
face interaction with our students and staff, so I am
excited about the opportunity to return to in-person
learning to have once again a more personal
connections with our school community. Of course, in
a safe manner.

I have been coming to the school building since the pandemic and it has been just that, a
building. With the anticipation of in-person leaning the building is slowly becoming a school
once again. More teachers and staff are coming to the building. The school grounds are
getting the attention it has long deserved and all we need now are our Lowe's Grove students
to make it complete. Continue to take care yourself and your family and I am looking
forward to seeing those who plan to return for in-person-learning soon.

Healthy Habits w/ Coach Garner
Q1: What are some common myths about men’s health?
Men do suffer from mental and emotional health issues. Men
CAN develop breast cancer. Women tolerate pain better than
men.
Q2: What are some mistakes men tend to do when they eat?
1. Not drinking enough water before and with meals. Proper
hydration is a critical component of a well-balanced diet. 2.
Eating too fast. Not rushing your way through a meal allows your
body to “full” longer.
Q3: When children are young they tend to eat a lot. What type of
food should men eat to stay healthy?
Fresh vegetables and fruit should be a staple in everyone’s diet.
Lean sources of protein (Salmon, Chicken). Avoid processed
foods as much as possible. Enjoy processed foods in moderation
when you do eat them.
Q4: What should men do to keep them motivated about working
out?
Don’t take good health for granted ever. It’s cheaper to prevent a
surgery than pay for one.

Reading and Sewing

The relationships I have formed with my students. The hugs and handshakes students
gave me because of those relationships. The ability to help my co workers when they
needed my help. I am also very , very proud of FBLA participating in the Regional
Conference for the first time and 3 of 4 students won. I am super proud of being
instrumental in Lowe’s Grove receiving the concession trailer. It was a
recommendation from Teachers at LGMS for Fidelity that made it happen.
3. How did you end up teaching?
Being obedient to my faith. Prior to teaching I had been a licensing practicing Dental
Hygienist. I have a degree in Clinical Trials. I have owned an Embroidery and Printing
business for 22 years.

I returned to school to receive my Masters of Education not knowing that it was a mute
point if I did not have a Teaching license to teach. Nevertheless, being obedient to the
call, I was hired through lateral entry and here I am 6 years later , still loving what I do.
Inspiring young minds to take their skill and hobbies to the next level and call it a career
makes me come back each and every day.
4. Tell us about your family?
I have been married for 33 years to the same man. I have two adult children. A son age
29 and a daughter 27. I am ready to complete my family with a fur baby(puppy) one
day.

Conversation with a Counslor
INTERVIEW: WAYNE JORDAN & MR. HAMER
Do you feel like students understand the importance of being prepared?
I’m not quite sure if our scholars really understand the importance of being prepared.
Our scholar’s return to school for in-person learning will be accompanied with a set of
safety guidelines provided to keep everyone protected, and I’m optimistic about the
opportunity for them to thrive in what we now call the “new norm”. I believe that it’s
imperative that our scholars understand the importance of being prepared because it leads
to less stress in class as well as staying safe. If no preparation is made, then the scholars will
experience feelings of anxiety. On the other hand, if our scholars complete his/her
assignments, read the material, and understand the material, they will be able to focus on
better grades and their health.
What tools can you recommend students use to help get better prepared?
First thing that I think is important is for parents to have a conversation with his/her scholar
about precautions they need to take at school so they can remain safe and healthy. Scholars
should:
a. Prepare to wash and sanitize their hands often.
b. Make sure you keep a safe physical distance from other scholars.
c. Wear a mask at all times.
d. Avoid sharing objects with other students, including water bottles, devices, writing
instruments, and books.
e. Equip yourself with hand sanitizer (that contains at least 60% alcohol.) Make sure
your product is safe.
Can you tell me about your experiences getting prepared for tests?
Everyone is their own individual with different ways to prepare for a test. My
preparation for a test was a little unorthodox because I couldn’t study in silence, so I
listened to Jazz. I took naps when I felt a little tired, I ate snacks that were rich in
protein, and I asked questions when I didn’t understand some of the information in the
class.
06 GROVE | ISSUE 10
How should students prepare for upcoming tests and projects?
I think these are some essentials:
1. Eat healthy meals and snacks
2. Exercise regularly
3. Get plenty of rest
4. Manage your stress
5. Talk with your School Counselors or Teachers
6. Utilize your class and study time wisely
7. Establish effective studying and homework habits.
