Winburn STLP’s Kentucky Author's Series & KTLN

The STLP at Winburn was recently honored as a Gold STLP School for the second year in a row. The STLP students decided to take on the KTLN Logo project of revitalizing the Kentucky TeleLinking Network (KTLN). Winburn sponsored many conferences this year, and revived their Kentucky Author’s Series Conferences for the KTLN network. They were honored to have sponsored video conferences by Richard Taylor, former Kentucky Poet Laureate; Joe Survant, the present Poet Laureate; and Frank X Walker, poet and author. The Winburn STLP run all the equipment. They participated in 22 conferences last year, and 11 conferences this year.

Millcreek STLs Tour Screen Printing Business

On April 22, 2004, STLP went on a field trip to Francis Screen Printing and Design. We toured the factory guided by Mr. Kurt Francis. He showed us the techniques used to print designs on shirts.

He showed us some of the different designs that he had made in the past. Mr. Francis also showed us how hard his job was by letting two volunteers come up and try printing designs on the shirts. When he was done with the shirts, Mr. Francis gave them to us as souvenirs. I think that everyone had a splendid time on the trip. We want to thank Mr. Francis for everything he has done.

Stonewall's Entrepreneurial Projects

Stonewall STLs creating business cards. Stonewall’s STL’s, Taylor and Maggie, are busy creating business cards for teachers. They used MS Publisher to fashion the card and copy the image to the clipboard. Next, they selected an MS Word business card template, copied the image into each cell, and printed them on the colored printer. The business cards are just one of many projects this year’s STL’s have completed. Stonewall STLs creating business cards.

Other projects included backpack tags, teacher stationery, and labels. Each product will include instructions for the teachers to follow so they may create their own items.
