From The Middle School
The middle school students, faculty and staff would like to thank all of the local organizations for the
generous donations we received for ISTEP. Middle school students were provided with granola bars,
apples, and water on the ISTEP days this past week. The students were glad to get a snack before taking
the test. A BIG thanks to Family Express, Town and Country, Strack & Van Til, and Save-a-Lot for your
donations. A special thanks to Mrs. Wireman for picking up the water for us from Family Express. We are
hopeful we will be able to provide snacks for the April tests as well.
SHAWN MOYER MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP
An Endowed Scholarship Fund
Shawn Moyer, a 1999 Kouts High School graduate, was the recipient of a Lilly Endowment Community
Scholarship. He elected to attend Taylor University where he was studying accounting. In the fall of his
sophomore year, the cancer that he had overcome in high school returned. While he fought valiantly
against this disease and completed his third semester, he died on January 2, 2001, one day before his 20 th
birthday.
Thanks to the generous support of Lilly Endowment Inc., the remaining portion of Shawn’s scholarship has
been set aside to establish the Shawn Moyer Memorial Scholarship. Shawn thoroughly enjoyed the time he
spent at Taylor University and we can think of no better way to remember Shawn than through the gift to
future students of a similar opportunity.
Scholarship applications are due to Mrs. Robinson in the guidance office Mar.21, 2015.
The scholarship guidelines are as follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
The student must be a resident of Porter County.
The student must be a graduate of Kouts High School.
The student must attend a four year college or university in Indiana.
The application process is open to all students with a preference given to students who elect to
attend a Christian institution.
The student may be an entering freshman or a returning student.
The selection shall be made by the Porter County Community Foundation Scholarship Committee
after receiving recommendations from the Kouts High School Guidance Department and the Moyer
family consisting of Nicholas, Beverly and/or their children.
All members of the Selection Committee and the Moyer family shall abide by and make disclosures
pursuant to the Conflict of Interest Policy of the Porter County Community Foundation. Children or
grandchildren of the selection committee and the Moyer family are not eligible to receive this
scholarship.
The selection shall be made on the basis of financial need, capacity to succeed, and a demonstration
of a personal enthusiasm for life and learning reminiscent of Shawn.
The scholarship shall be paid from the annual earnings of the Fund according to the Foundation’s
duly adopted Distribution Policy. The first award was made in the spring of 2001.
From The Guidance Counselor
The Purdue Women in Engineering would like to invite women in their junior year of high school with an
interest in engineering to a program called Juniors Exploring Engineering at Purdue. Take advantage of this
opportunity on Monday April 13, 2015 to visit, explore, and research all the facets of engineering. If
interested, you will need to register early as only 250 students are accepted. Please see Mrs. Robinson for
more information.
Three C's Memorial Scholarship: On October 24, 2003, three Bremen men were killed on their way home
from a high school football game. Casey Miller, Chad Beeson, and Carey Jones were all volunteer
statisticians who enjoyed giving their time to help young people. To keep their spirit alive, the 3 C's
Memorial Scholarship was established. The hope is that the scholarship recipients will take pride in
representing the three special qualities of these great men: Courage, Character, and Committment.
Eligibility requirements include: high school senior, active in the school or community, have a minimum GPA
equivalent to a 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, have competed six athletic seasons during high school as an athlete,
trainer, manager, cheerleader, etc... If interested in an application, please see Mrs. Robinson. The deadline
is March 31, 2015.
From The Desk Of Mr Stoner
A couple weeks ago the poms squad issued a
challenge to Officer Marshall, Mr Owney, and me.
The challenge was if they earned $750 or more for
Riley Children’s Hospital they would be allowed to
apply the make-up they wear to the games to our
faces. Well, they made it, and we did it. Awesome job
girls! We are proud of you.

Attention, Parents!
What is Junior
Achievement?
Junior Achievement is a not
for profit organization that
educates students in grades
k-12th grade with real world
concepts. JA’s 3 Pillars for
success are Financial
Literacy, Work Readiness
and Entrepreneurship.
JA’s programs are taught by
volunteers like YOU!
More than 170,000 business
and community
representatives are helping
young people develop the
competence, confidence and
character needed for success
in school, work and life.
Sign Up For Junior Achievement!
Dear Parents,
The Junior Achievement Programs will once again be implemented
at our school. JA brings the Real World to life in the
classroom! If your child had JA last year, I’m sure you heard all
about it!
In order to give our children this amazing opportunity, we need your
help! Volunteers play a key role in bringing JA to life and we need
a volunteer who is willing to give a few hours of their time. By
presenting JA’s programs and sharing your personal and/or
professional experiences with students, you help them make the
connection between what they are learning in school and what they
will need to succeed in work and life!
Students who participate in the JA program are also eligible for JA
scholarships when they are seniors in high school.
Here is what we need from you: Volunteer your time in your
child’s classroom or a classroom that may not have a
volunteer! Only a few hours are all it takes. As a volunteer, you
meet with a JA staff member from our school to receive a JA kit
with ALL of the materials needed, including STEP-BY-STEP
INSTRUCTIONS necessary to present the “hands on” activities.
There is no teaching experience required. JA makes it easy to
follow and fun! Plus, teachers are in the class for support! You will
become a JA Parent Rock Star in the eyes of your child and their
peers! Can’t volunteer, then possibly help secure one for the
classroom.
The following teachers are in need of a volunteer:
1st Grade—Mrs. Evans, 2nd Grade—Mrs. Spagna, and 4th
Grade—Mrs. Markley
All new JA volunteers will attend a short orientation that is
presented by a Jr. Achievement Representative. To volunteer,

*CONSENT/RELEASE*
I give permission for my child______________________________ to participate in the Kouts Girls
Spring/Summer Softball League program. I agree to release all coaches, players, league officials
and umpires of any liability in the event your child is accidentally injured while practicing, playing
games, or attending any event associated with the league.

*CODE OF CONDUCT*
Kouts Girls Spring/Summer Softball Association firmly believes in the ideals of good
sportsmanship, honesty, courage, and respect of authority. With this in mind, we have
established the following Code Of Conduct for all age group leagues:
*All players, coaches, umpires, scorekeepers and fans shall be treated with respect.
*Coaches, players, and fans shall not demean their own players, opposing players or
umpires before, during or after the game.
*Players will be ejected from the game for throwing balls, helmets, gloves, etc.
*Any unreasonable display of emotion will elicit a warning from the umpire. This
includes the use of foul language. Upon receiving a warning, the players and coach
shall immediately stop arguing and return to his position of the dugout. Failure to do
so will result in ejection from the game, as well a flagrant violation at any time in the
game (even if a warning was not given).
As a parent or guardian, I acknowledge that I am a role model. I must show respect for all players,
coaches, spectators and support groups. I understand the spirit of fair play and the sportsmanship
expected by our school and school system. If the Code Of Conduct cannot be followed, the umpire
reserves the right to dismiss an spectator, coach or player from the field.

need your help. Our festival runs on sponsorship alone. Any amount of donation is appreciated. You may
chose to sponsor a specific event , area, or the Kouts Festivals and Events organization. Without your help
and sponsorship Kouts Festivals and Events will not be able to provide you with the quality festival and
events you have come to know and love.
In addition to supporting the Pork Fest with your donation you will also be supporting other exciting
events. You see, Kouts Festivals and Events wants to do more for the town of Kouts than just put on the
Pork Fest. We want to give back to the community and sponsor community activities that bring everyone
together. We currently give out a Kouts Festivals Scholarship to a graduating senior. We decorate the
Christmas tree and help with the town banners. Kouts Festivals and Events also sponsors the Town Wide
Garage Sale and Nelson’s Port-a-Pit Chicken (May 2, 2015) along with the Christmas Open Houses the first
weekend in December (December 5 and 6, 2015). In the future we would like to see a kick off to summer
party, community movie nights, a bike race, and many other fun activities. Let’s show NW Indiana what
small town pride really looks like.
In order to see these amazing things happen we need to have financial support. Kouts Festivals and
Events is a non- profit group. Our only means of income is donations from the community. So if you
would like to see some amazing events come to Kouts then please step up and support Kouts Festivals
and Events. By becoming a sponsor you will reap the benefits of having your name associated with
promoting the Kouts community. Your name will be featured in advertising material. We look forward to
hearing from you. Please contact us with any questions.
Sincerely,
Kouts Festivals & Events
