Angelo L. Tomaso's archery team was just getting started when the students scored big.
When Angelo L. Tomaso physical education teacher Doug Clark asked permission to start an archery club at the school, he told school officials it could help teach students self-confidence. After all, kids can point and release an arrow as effectively as an adult, if taught the right techniques. Taking kids to the National Archery in the Schools Program National Tournament wasn't really part of the plan—which meant the team members and their parents had to scramble a bit when they learned the team qualified to participate in the tournament. "I just hoped they'd get the basic techniques down," Clark said Friday, after the school held a rally for the students selected to participate in the tournament in Louisville from May 9 to 11.

Anwar Robinson shared tips for success in music and life during classes at middle school and ALT.
What does a young, inspired musician do after nearly rising to the top of TV fame as a finalist on Fox-TV's "American Idol"? If you're like Anwar Robinson, who didn't get enough votes to keep Carrie Underwood from winning the prize and national fame in 2005, you return to your second love: teaching. Robinson spent much of Wednesday offering his insights and experiences to Warren students, at Warren Middle School in the morning, then at Angelo L. Tomaso School in the afternoon, where fifth-grade students from all four elementary schools gathered to hear him. The classes first practiced singing with Robinson on the spiritual "Hush! Somebody's Calling My Name," during which Robinson coached the students on vocal dynamics and interpretation. "…

Amy Jensen's 'What's Your Favorite Color?' uses color choice as lessons in bullying.
Angelo L. Tomaso School music teacher Amy Jensen likes to engage her students with her music—she writes small musicals for class exercises to teach concepts to her students. Friday, she treated the school's fourth- and fifth-grade classes to a debut presentation of "What's Your Favorite Color?," a musical tackling the issue of bullying through students' choices of colors. Working with Landon Heimbach, choreographer Debbi Silas and composer Ray Rhoads, Jensen crafted a tale of students ostracized by their classmates because they don't like the traditional choices of blue and pink. Friday's show was staged by Maria Damore, Jimmy Damore, Olivia Damore, Katie Spencer, Debbi Silas, Kassi Scheese, Josh Sell and Jake Hangen—a group of …

Monday, August 13, 2012
Students at Angelo L. Tomaso School will find some new diversions at recess, after school starts. The school's PTO organized a painting project on the school's playground this summer. "The ALT PTO, former and current ALT students, under the artistic guidance of a student's grandfather, created two new sidewalk games and a United States map," Darleen Fenton, the PTO president, said. "The bull's eye and the snakes-n-ladders games were recommend by ALT students resulting from a study done by the fourth-grade students in an effort to enhance activities conducted at recess." Fenton said Warrenville Hardware donated the paint for this project.

Experience challenges faced daily by people with disabilities.
After leading Angelo L. Tomaso School fifth-grade students through a series of exercises demonstrating the challenges faced daily by people with disabilities on Friday, Amy Burns, of the ARC of Somerset, hammered home the point. She tested the students by telling them she had two of the dozen disabilities discussed at the workshop, and challenged them to guess which two. Then, she shared her story of losing an eye and her right leg below the knee following treatment for a sports injury. The students' attention focused when Burns showed them her artificial limb. "You couldn't tell I had any disability could you?" she asked. "I hope you guys take that forward and never be mean to someone with disabilities." Point made—and according to Kelly …
