Debbie Keenan’s, Let’s Talk Trash News! , is a gift to our entire community! This resource rich newspaper delivers relevant non-fiction text for our students to read and enjoy. The newspaper offers our high school students the opportunity to be published authors giving them an authentic audience for their writing. We look forward to each edition in Cheatham County School District. - Dr. Cathy Beck, Dir of CC Schools Community Bank & Trust (CBT) is a locally owned community bank with offices in Robertson and Cheatham counties. The Bank considers both counties to be thriving communities and market areas for the Bank to offer financial products and services. The Bank has been a partner with The Keenan Group since 2012. The Bank is a believer in student education as this is one of the foundations the Bank was founded upon in 1999. In fact, the Bank provided educational opportunities to the elementary students in both counties for a number of years. The Bank is also honored to provide to both county public school systems an automated “call program”. The program allows each school’s representative to communicate in an effective manner directly with the parents of the students in the event of a school event, closure or other important message. When Ms. Keenan introduced her concept of the educational newspaper Let’s Talk Trash News! to the Bank we realized immediately CBT would become a strong supporter of the newspaper. Let’s Talk Trash News! is a valuable asset to the communities where it is distributed as the paper encourages the student to be responsible and teaches character building skills to our youth. The paper has been a great tool to reach all kids, parents and the teaching community. In fact, the Bank looks forward to the Bi-Annual Museum of Litter project. At this event, the kids get to participate by displaying their creation of litter which they have accumulated and made into a beautiful piece of artwork. It truly is litter education at its finest! The Bank is proud of our sponsorship of the newspaper in Cheatham County. - Debbie Small, Pres & CEO Community Bank & Trust I have been a sponsor of Let’s Talk Trash News! since its inception. During that time, I have witnessed first hand the positive effect this publication has on the youth of our community. Not only is it distributed to all of the local elementary schools, but is placed in businesses such as mine throughout the area. When parents with small children come to our office for meetings, often times we will provide crayons and the current issue of Let’s Talk Trash News to the children to keep them occupied while I meet with their parents. It keeps their attention and seems to be of interest to these children. In some cases, I have been asked questions about a particular article by the children at the conclusion of meeting with their parents. I am proud to be a sponsor of Let’s Talk Trash News! and look forward to its continued growth and impact on the children of the area. - Franklin J Luppe, CPA, CFE United Structural Systems, Inc. considers it an honor to partner with Debbie Keenan in sponsorship of Let’s Talk Trash News!. As a childhood reader of Highlights Magazine, I would have loved to have a publication like this growing up. The activities and articles cover a broad student demographic audience, it’s regionally educational and relevant, and the uniqueness of allowing student article participation is a wonderful opportunity for our young local readers (& teachers & parents)! USS is proud to help support our community through this creative resource! -Shannon Carter, Co-Owner/USS

ADVERTISING & MARKETING NEWSPAPER CIRCULATION

The Keenan Group Inc. is a full service advertising and marketing company that has been in business since 1980. For over 40 years we have specialized in the newspaper circulation and marketing industry nationwide. As marketing professionals, we also provide services to other industries as well. I, having been a county school board official in the 90’s, have a vested interest in schools as well as quality education for our kids. In 2012 - 2014 we pubishsed Kidsville News , a supplemental educational publication, free to all students in an effort to service the children of both Cheatham and Robertson counties. In Cheatham County with the Mayor, we initiated the first Cheatham County Mayor’s Back to School Bash , an effort to provide free school supplies to families in need. The Cheatham County Mayor’s Back to School Bash continues today under the direction of the Cheatham County Chamber of Commerce. With the partnership of Cheatham County’s T.D.O.T. Litter education grant and local business sponsors it has been possible to provide this valuable litter education program, “ Let’s Talk Trash News! ,” which is delivered to all K-8th grade students with additional distribution through post offices, grocery stores, sponsor locations, as well as other business locations, every other month within the entire county. Currently, Let’s Talk Trash News! is the largest circulated newspaper in Cheatham county publishing 12,800 copies designed to enhance litter education and awareness, promote good citizenship, provide environmental awareness, and stress the importance of personal responsibility. The publication has proven to be a fun and valuable educational resource for teachers and kids alike. Each issue is packed with fun activities and extraordinary information relating to conservation and recycling. All subjects are presented in ways that get kids involved, literature, history, art, science, math, and much more. Every other year, Let’s Talk Trash News! spearheads a countywide, K thru 12 grade Museum of Litter art project highlighting the negative impact litter has on the community and environment. High school students construct an architectural base out of wood, which is delivered to every school for decoration with “found litter” in our community. The school year 2013 - 2014 was the first year for this project and showcased an iris, the Tennessee cultivated flower, Iris Tennessee Cheatham . Tennessee’s wild flower, the passionflower, was combined with Tennessee’s agricultural insect, the bumblebee, and was appropriately named, Bee Passionate Tennessee Cheatham during the school year of 2015-2016. School year 2017-2018 featured Bass Tennessee Cheatham showcasing the state’s sporting fish, the small mouth bass. After the completion of each art project cycle, all works of art were displayed at the Museum of Litter at the Cheatham County Courthouse lawn. A public auction was held with 100% of the proceeds being returned to the schools thus raising over $7,800 for the schools. In addition to the printed publication and bi-annual fund raising art project, a Facebook page has been created that offers more information and on-line flip book editions. Teachers have the ability to put this on their classroom white boards. Thank you for your interest in Let’s Talk Trash News! Kind regards,

POTENTIAL PROJECT BENEFITS

Let’s Talk Trash News! is a fantastic publication. It is colorful and highly engaging for students of all ages. My Creative Writing students work on the issue and they love it. They learn by researching articles that they write. Debbie Keenan is so encouraging that the students love to see her visit every week. Over the

Rick Amburgey, English Teacher CCCHS

course of a semester, I have watched writing for Let’s Talk Trash News! turn into a source of pride. Every issue is better than the previous one and working on the issues makes students more aware of the impact litter has on the environment and their community. - Rick Amburgey

The potential benefits are immense and long lasting. Continuing exposure to environmental issues including, but not limited to littering, is the best way to imprint on our youth and aid them in becoming aware of the world around them and their responsibility to it. When a child is reached in the early years of education, learned behaviors are more likely to become life long habits. With Let’s Talk Trash News! there is an opportunity to empower children through education that will provide a heightened awareness of their environment and allowing them to make the world they live in a better place at their own personal level. We find that students are already creating an impact in their own families; when a student sees a family member discarding things improperly, they are quicker to advocate for proper disposal. We see kids in schools stopping on their own to pick up litter off the floors and discard it properly. This is the beginning of a ‘first awareness’ of their surroundings. Through Let’s Talk Trash News! we challenge K-8 kids to deal with litter in classroom exercises in the areas of Literature, Math, Arts, and Science. At each grade level, there are appropriate exercises, stories, or activities to engage both the teachers and students. We challenge kids to get involved, be aware, and show their talent. The litter project engages students, families, teachers, and the community.

My eighth grade year is when I found my passion for writing. Even that summer when school let out I still continued to write short stories and do like movie reviews or book reports. I was just so fascinated with getting my points across and expressing myself. When high school rolled around in August, I had Rick Amburgey as a teacher for English,

Kylie Gonzalez, 10th grade student CCCHS

and when he told the class about how he had a book published and that he wrote articles for papers, I just really found a connection and wanted him to become my mentor and teach me everything about writing! It wasn’t until about a couple of months until Mrs. Debbie came to talk to the English 1 classes and introduced Let’s Talk Trash News! . What most appealed to me was Mrs. Debbie’s dedication and energy for the paper; so, I met with her after class and she gave me more information and her card. Well, I was so excited I called her the next day after I talked to my mom about it because I just knew this was for me! Mrs. Debbie came back and she informed Mr. Amburgey and I that she was creating a writing group from students at CCCHS (Cheatham County Central Highschool). I was head over heels, so I just dived right in. I would definitely say with all the articles I have written, I have learned so much with Mrs. Debbie and her expertise; she has just taught me so much and I don’t think that I would be the person I am today, because she just plays such a big roll in my life. Whenever I have a conflict with writing or even in life she is there and I’m so grateful for the doors she has opened and the way she has been there. I’m hoping one day I can contribute a bigger roll in the publication so I can give other kids/the younger generation and future generations the opportunity I got and have! - Kyle Gonzalez
