Excel Learning Academy is expanding.
By TOSHUA E. PHILLIPS
— Learning doesn’t stop in any season.
With 1322 and 1324 E. 37th St. filled with preschoolers and kindergartners,
The additional space to open June 5 will hold 16 children and go beyond the traditional classrooms by housing computer and laundry rooms and a separate playroom.
The four-year-old academy moved to
“I just love to teach,” said Boards, an MBA graduate from
Tyrone Vertner’s wife, Carlena, heard about Excel through word-of-mouth. Their 6-year-old daughter Natya graduated from the academy last year and now attends Liberty Christian, a private school that also employs A Beka instruction.
Brother Nauteon, 5, isn’t far behind her. He’ll attend
The Vertners have seen advancements in Nauteon behaviorally since his August enrollment.
“He broke out of his shyness,” Tyrone Vertner said. “He’s a lot more outgoing, outspoken.”
That’s not the only change.
“He quickly advanced out of the kindergarten level books to first-grade level,” Vertner said.
Pendleton resident Corey Mitchem is another proud papa.
“I’ve noticed a big difference in
“From what I’ve seen from her peers at our church, she seems to be a bit advanced for a kindergartner.”
Several students are able to test into first grade, despite their young age.
Excel students are grouped by age or academics led by Boards, Ann Wise or Toni Wilson. Daily, the 3- to 6-year-olds count to 100, recite shapes, seasons and opposites, to name a few. The morning begins with a half-hour devotion of Christian, American and Bible allegiances, prayer, faith confession, scripture recital and songs. Regardless of age, children are taught Spanish and social studies during their second semester. Hours of operation are 6:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
“Kids learn by repetition,” Boards said. “Whether they get it or not, we do this every day. If they do this daily, they’ll catch on.
“I’m not a daycare,” she continued. “This is truly a preschool and kindergarten. My motto: Excel in excellence.”
With a student’s fee of $85 a week, Boards added that her school accepts payments from the state’s Child Care and Development Fund that helps low-income families.
“A lot of parents can’t afford to send their children to private schools,” the owner said.
“We don’t leave any kids behind.”

New gallery puts spotlight on IWU students

"I think any opportunity to show is great," said Helvie, who, along with four other students, is part of the first group to have their art on display at the gallery. "To have it in the The gallery, named for the year when the school (then called "I pretty much serve as curator, doing all the tasks that that includes," A grand opening last weekend featured acrylic paintings by Helvie and student Ben Hubbard and photographs by students Katie Collins, Ben Swygart and Chris Whonsetler. The works will be on display for three weeks before making way for a new group of artists. "We've gotten the word out through e-mail and posters and word-of-mouth that we're always open for students to submit their work," said Henderson, who also hopes to include alumni and faculty in future shows. "They can pick up information sheets and submission forms, and then there is a review process of the artwork." The work shown is for sale with prices set by the artist and a commission going toward running the gallery. Regular hours for the 1920 Gallery are 4 to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Cell phone captures sex acts with child
Child exploitation charges filed after case manager finds images
By KEN de la BASTIDE
Tribune enterprise editor
A Kokomo High School student was arrested Thursday at the Kinsey Youth Center on 10 counts of child exploitation for reportedly taking sexually explicit photographs on a cell phone.
According to Major Steve Rogers with the Howard County Sheriff’s Department, the 17-year-old was attending a therapy session with Latisha Rumsey, a case manager, and a random cell phone search was conducted.
During the routine search, Rumsey discovered several explicit pictures on the cell phone, Rogers said. When asked who was in the pictures the 17-year-old said they were of himself and a 16-year-old girl.
Deputy Larry Sparks looked at the cell phone and found 10 pictures of various sex acts and poses, according to a police report. The juvenile was informed that he was being charged with 10 counts of child exploitation, a class C felony.
While at the Kinsey Youth Center, the cell phone rang and was answered by a deputy with the sheriff’s department. The caller was the alleged victim.
The police report states the officer then met with the alleged victim and her father and they were told the 17-year-old was being charged. The deputy told the girl that several pictures were found on the cell phone. The father told police that he was aware sexual activity was taking place between the two teenagers.
The girl told police she knew about the pictures and had forgiven him.
The Prosecutor’s Office will determine if the youth will be charged as an adult.
If convicted on the class C felony charges, the teenager could face a maximum eight-year prison sentence on each count
