The True Size
It is hard to represent our spherical world on flat piece of paper. Cartographers use something called a "projection" to morph the globe into 2D map. The most popular of these is the Mercator projection.
Every map projection introduces distortion, and each has its own set of problems. One of the most common criticisms of the Mercator map is that it exaggerates the size of countries nearer the poles (US, Russia, Europe), while downplaying the size of those near the equator (the African Continent). On the Mercator projection Greenland appears to be roughly the same size as Africa. In reality, Greenland is 0.8 million sq. miles and Africa is 11.6 million sq. miles, nearly 14 and a half times larger.

Walking Tips
Tips for Walking Safely to School
Walking is fun, but you need to be safe while doing it. Follow these tips to make sure you get to and from school without any problems.
Walk together
Younger children should always walk with an adult. Tell your parents that walking is great exercise and a nice way to spend time together. If your parents say that you can walk to school on your own, remember these tips:
- Walk with a friend when possible.
- Ask your parents to help you pick a safe route to school; one that avoids dangers.
- Stick to the route you picked with your parents. Don’t let friends talk you into shortcuts that are more dangerous.
- When you are near the street, don’t push, shove, or chase each other.
- Never hitchhike or take rides from people not arranged by your parents.
- Talk to your parents and teacher about any bullying that may happen during your walk.
Be seen
Remember, drivers may not be able to see you well. Always wear bright-colored clothes and if it is dark or hard to see, carry fl ashlights or wear refl ective gear.
Look for traffic
Watch out for cars and trucks at every driveway and intersection on your walk to school. Look for drivers in parked cars. They may be getting ready to move.
Cross the street safely
- Stop at the curb or edge of the street.
- Look left, right, left and behind you and in front of you for traffi c.
- Wait until no traffi c is coming and begin crossing.
- Keep looking for traffi c until you have fi nished crossing.
- Walk, don’t run across the street.
Obey traffic signs, signals and adult school crossing guards For more resources and information on Safe Routes to School, please visit the National Center for Safe Routes to School Web site at:

August 2017 Superintendency Message
A message from Superintendent Jeff Stephens:
I love the beginning of a new school year! I always have. As a child, I recall the excitement of meeting my new teacher and the anticipation of discovering which friends would be in my class. As a parent, there was the concern that my children would be assigned to a caring teacher. And, as a teacher, it marked a time to meet new students and begin our learning journey together. No doubt, those same feelings of anticipations are occurring as we open this school year. We welcome many new teachers to our district this year. Some are veterans transferring to Weber School District mid-career. Most are first-year teachers and new to the profession. You have become part of the Weber family. Whether you are a student, parent, teacher or support professional, this new school year offers the opportunity for learning, growth and contribution.
As a district, we begin this year without a long-time friend and colleague -- Brent Richardson. Brent has been on our board of education for the past 19 years and for the last nine years he has served as president. He passed away this summer on the fourth of July. Brent was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer 16 months ago and courageously battled that disease for much longer than doctors believed possible. Through his struggle, he never missed a single board meeting! In the midst of his battle with cancer, Brent told me that he was either going "to serve out his term or serve out his life." As it turned out, he served out his life. I can't think of anyone who was a more passionate advocate for public education and for learning than Brent. He was often referred to as the "Renaissance Man" because of his great love and enthusiasm for learning.
Because of Brent's long-time service, along with a significant donation to our foundation prior to his passing, the board of education has named our board room the "Brent W. Richardson Board Room." In addition, the Richardsons' generous donation will fund several "Teach for Weber" scholarships each year to high school seniors who desire to become teachers. Both the naming of the board room and the scholarships to future teachers are fitting tributes to a man who dedicated so much of his life to supporting our schools. While he will be missed, his legacy will live on and inspire the rest of us to "serve out our life" as we work with young people in shaping their future. I wish each of you an extremely successful year!

Passing of Board President Brent Richardson
Brent Richardson, President of the Weber School District Board of Education, passed away yesterday after a valiant battle with cancer. Brent was an Ogden native, graduating from Ogden High School in 1967. After high school, he enlisted as a member of the 19th Special Forces Group, and after serving his country, he returned to Utah to attend Weber State College. He obtained a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and later went on to manage several successful businesses in the Ogden area.
During his career, Brent served on numerous boards including the Ogden Weber Chamber of Commerce; School of Technology, Weber State University; and the Board of Trustees of the Ogden Weber Applied Technology College.
Brent had served on the Weber School District Board of Education since 1999 and as Board President since 2009. Under his stewardship, three successful bonds were passed which led to the building and renovation of many schools throughout the district. The combination of Brent’s expertise as an entrepreneur, ingenuity, passion, and continual community involvement, helped craft Weber School District into what it is today.
Representing Precinct 3, the patrons of South Ogden and Uintah cites, and all children throughout Weber School District, President Brent Richardson’s leadership will be greatly missed!
