As time progressed, Bullying and Teen Suicide have emerged into widespread issues that require change. The exponentially growing rate of bullying and teen suicide raise many concerns for parents and educators around the world. Nearly 1 in 6 high school students have seriously considered suicide while 1 in 12 high school students have attempted it. The suicide rate among teens has skyrocketed over the past few years, ranging 6.3% in 2009 to 7.8% in 2011(NYDailyNews, 2013). These numbers reflect the trend gaining national attention as more teen suicides are reported as a result of bullying.
As a means of exposing the detrimental effects of Bullying and Teen Suicide from a broader platform, we, members of SkillUSA Champions at work have formed a Bullying and Teen Suicide Prevention group. SkillsUSA is a growing partnership between students, teachers and the industries that are working together to ensure a skilled workforce. Our group also opted to work with the HIB Safety Team of Thomas A. Edison Academy and discuss the matters surrounding these controversial topics.
Our core focus is to educate our community on the myriad methods that exist to prevent bullying. We held informative assemblies during 5th, 7th, and 8th period where we, not only explained the negative impacts of bullying, but also encouraged the students to encourage others. We began the sessions by instructing the students to complete a self-reflective questionnaire to help show their initial thoughts of bullying and teen suicide. In addition, we interacted with the students by asking volunteers to answer bully-related questions and share their personal encounters with bullying or teen suicide. In return for their participation and cooperation we gave out prizes such as anti-bullying teddy bears, bracelets, and shirts. Following the assembly, we distributed questionnaires to demonstrate the influence the gathering had in regards of communicating the importance of combating bullying. Out of a group of 900 students, 634 pupils felt empowered to execute change and live more confidently.
Our ultimate goals were to squash the misguided insecurities seen in today’s generation; bury the hollow conflicts that push teenagers to drastic measures, and debunk the frivolous notion that a person can prove its worth by putting others down. Bullying is, indeed, the epitome of the saying “the players may change, but the games remains the same”; bullies of yesterday, same as those of tomorrow bully to boost their confidence levels. Therefore, it is our job, as a community, to even the playing field and boost everyone’s confidence level while simultaneously putting an end to the tyranny of bullies everywhere.
(members of the group are: Nedjee Corriolan, Ashley Franklin, Melanie Torres, Rah’naisha Pina, Tierra White, and Janice Pierre)
(Quote from me as their Advisor, Penelope Hudeen) I am extremely proud of the SkillsUSA members for their continued dedication on taking a stand to promote awareness of bullying and its injurious effects.

Agricultural genius, born in Ruelzheim, Rhenish Bavaria, of a family of horticulturists. Educated in Germany. Migrated to New York in 1871 and to Texas 1876. In Limestone County (surrounding this marker site) lay 100 acres of open prairie land which he purchased.
He discovered that fruit varieties then being grown here were unsuited to the climate. By cross pollination, budding and grafting, he developed some 100 new varieties of peaches. More than 20 which were propagated for commercial purposes included "Anna", "Barbara", "Carman", "Frank", "Fredericka", "Katie", "Liberty", "Lizzie", "Miss Lola" and "Tena".
In 1882, his younger brother Jacob also came and settled nearby. Both men were outstanding citizens. Joseph W. Stubenrauch shared his findings through his writings for "Farm and Ranch", "Rural New Yorker" and "Holland's Magazine". He practiced and advocated terracing, crop rotation and diversification, soil testing, fertilization and irrigation.
Many of his ideas of conservation farming and agricultural education were incorporated into U.S. Government programs. He was nationally recognized for his contributions to American agriculture. (1970) (Marker No. 2867)
Faculty member in the Department of History from 1881-1919. King also served as Preceptress at the Michigan State Normal. King Hall was named in her honor.

The name Chautauqua is usually associated with the town of Chautauqua in Chautauqua County, New York. Chautauqua was named for Chautauqua Lake and the lake received its name “Chautauqua” from the Native American Seneca people who lived in the area. Also located in Chautauqua is the Chautauqua Institution, a popular nonprofit education and summer resort that can trace its beginnings back to 1874.
The Chautauqua Institution today says, “We are a community of artists, educators, thinkers, faith leaders and friends dedicated to exploring the best in humanity.” They annually host a series of programs featuring lectures from a wide variety of fields along with music and theater just as they did in the late 1800s.
In 1904 Keith Vawter and Roy Ellison appropriated the concept of the Chautauqua Institution to create a for-profit business much to the chagrin of the Institution. They basically saw an opportunity to make money by taking the Chautauqua Institution idea on the road as a form of entertainment going from town to town as “Circuit Chautauquas” or “Tent Chautauquas.”
These traveling Chautauqua shows were not affiliated with the Chautauqua Institution. Instead, they traveled about the country much like a circus or fair selling locals’ tickets to see lecturers, musicians, and theater productions under a tent while marketing it all as educational and enlightening. Circuit Chautauqua’s reached their peak in the mid-1920s appearing to over 45 million people in over 10,000 communities before finally playing out by 1940.
On Wednesday, July 1, 1914, a Chautauqua opened in Statesville for a 6-day run featuring 31 events all for a $2-dollar ticket. A large 3 ft. x 20 ft. banner advertising the event was hung across a downtown street and 2,500 “Photo Story Booklets” containing the programs schedule passed out. The Chautauqua tent with 1,200 seats was set up on a lot on the corner of Broad and Tradd Streets.
The Chautauqua continued to visit Statesville and Mooresville over the next few years. On June 10th, 1918 the “Statesville Chautauqua” opened for a six-day run featuring “Life in the Trenches Vivid and Timely Lecture by Captain Leslie Vickers of the Royal Scotch Fusileers.” The Royal Scots Fusiliers was a line infantry regiment of the British Army that existed from 1678 until 1959.
A rare 1918 copy of “Life in the Trenches” is part of the Local History Collection at the Iredell County Public Library in Statesville. Images of newspaper articles from the Chautauqua visit to Statesville in 1914 were taken from microfilm of the Statesville Sentinel (1909-1922) housed at the library and created by the State Archives of North Carolina, Division of Archives and Records, part of the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.
