You may remember a recent post we shared in early September about a student who loves the police and how his teacher made him a badge. The West Carrollton Police Department saw the post, and today they made a surprise visit to his classroom! They brought a junior officer badge sticker to everyone in the class, along with other goodies, including cupcakes! The officers had a Q&A session with the kids and took them outside to see a police cruiser. The visit ended with Asher being sworn in as an Honorary Police Officer. Congratulations to Officer Asher, and thank you to the West Carrollton Police Department for making this a special day!

Prediction. “I think it will freeze.” Observation. When you put a blue ice cube into a cup of lemonade, the liquid turns green. Science and primary colors came together in a lesson that ended with a tasty drink for some of our kindergarten students.

It's National Coffee Day, and the crew at the Pirate Bay Cafe was ready! The Pirate Bay Cafe provides students with special needs with valuable job skills as they learn to wait on customers, run a cash register, make change, and, of course, make coffee! Job sites they visit outside of school are the City of West Carrollton, where they clean the lobby area, and Crayons to Classrooms, where they stock shelves.

Coral reef. Grasslands. Rainforest. Second-grade students have been learning about different habitats. They then wrote a postcard to someone they knew, sharing facts about the habitat they chose, including “a coral reef is a place beneath the water,” “it is hot and humid in the rainforest,” and “the grasslands have flowers, but few trees.” The postcard also featured a picture they drew of the habitat. If you want to know more about these habitats, ask a second grader!

This is Braxton’s first year at the Intermediate School. He likes his art teacher, Mrs. Trangenstein, because “She’s cool. She doesn’t get mad, and she’s fun.” He likes science class because he likes doing experiments. Braxton has three future ambitions. 1) He would like to be a lawyer so that he can make enough money to have a zoo. 2) He wants to run the zoo. 3) He wants to become a veterinarian so that he can take care of the animals in the zoo.

Some Pirates begin their education at the Early Childhood Center preschool. Emma is one of our Pirates who came from another school! When asked to compare her previous school to the Intermediate School where she now attends, she said, "I like it better. My other school was too distracting. Her favorite class is math because "It's really fun and I'm really good at it." Emma says she is obsessed with doctors and medical things. Her goal is to become a heart surgeon or a pediatric doctor. We're glad she joined the Pirate community!

Today, Mrs. Clagg’s students took time to learn about the firefighters who bravely responded to the September 11, 2001 attacks. Students welcomed guest speaker Doug Hatcher, who shared information about the equipment firefighters wear and helped students understand the incredible courage and sacrifice of the first responders. He also shared the number of lives lost in the attacks on the Twin Towers, providing students with an opportunity to reflect on the significance of this important day in our nation’s history. Thank you, Mr. Hatcher and Mrs. Clagg, for helping our Pirates learn, remember, and honor those who served and those whose lives were lost.

Let's paint Pirate country red and black on Friday! Show your school and community pride by wearing your favorite Pirate shirt. Don't have a Pirate shirt? No problem! Just wear something in red and black, the school colors! We are encouraging students and staff to do the same. Spread the word. Spread the Pirate Pride.

Our Pirates are growing up! Siler has been in the school district since preschool. This year, he is in 5th grade at WC Intermediate School. It’s a new building for him, and he says, “I like how modern it is. The gym is nice. I like the big Pirate on the wall.” Siler likes the science experiments with Mr. Seifert and his health class, where everything is red.

RJ, Gabby, Lavada, and King are enjoying being some of the first students to attend the new WC Middle School. RJ likes the new lockers and being able to decorate the inside. Gabby is happy to have better air conditioning and better lockers. Lavada likes the Pirate ship on the hallway floor and the compass on the library ceiling. King feels the school is safer with more cameras. All agree that the new school is easy to navigate. Find out more in the News Section of our website at https://www.westcarrolltonschools.com/
