Mr. Willizini Illliiflllilll, UNSEEN HARVESTS From any educational program, the child will acquire ideas and atti- tudes about himself and others. These are woven into a pattern of life. They may be true or false, healthy or morbid. Yet, the various develop- mental stages are left largely to chance, and this is not as it should be. The learner's life in the Jackson Township Elementary School is heavily invested with success and failure, pride and shame. Thus unseen harvests rest in the pupil-teacher relationship. These feelings, judgments, praises, blames, and such are charged with great responsibility. A child's possessions are the sum total of all that he can call his. The possibilities are both constant and changeable. In the process of grow- ing up, the child adds, assimilates, and integrates within himself what he deems essential and authentic. He renounces what he feels is Uunessential, strange, and harmful. There is a continuous impact between the child and the flow of ex- periences involved in the process of living and learning at school. He per- ceives, interprets, accepts, resists, or rejects as he recognizes his limita- tions and does what he learns with his resources. The truth that heals hurts for the time. The Jackson Township Elementary School accepts and welcomes your child, allowing him to be natural and affording him opportunity to learn in an environment suited to' his maturity level. Each teacher accepts the challenge that meaningful education should be directed toward the devel- opment of the child's real or potential self into a happy and useful citizen- Ship- Kenneth Fletcher 7
