Meet Spencer. He hasn’t always been a Pirate. He previously attended another school district before being in 4th grade, but says he likes West Carrollton better. Spencer likes his teachers, especially his speech teacher, Mrs. Pohl. He also likes Mr. Jones because “He helps everybody.” His favorite subject is math because he likes solving problems. Two of his favorite school activities are recess when he gets to play with his friends and PBIS parties. Spencer plans to get a job at McDonald’s when he is old enough and hopes to save enough money to buy his own house and be on his own after graduation. Congratulations Spencer and keep up the good work! Now that you’re here, you will always be a Pirate!

Students are out of school today, but staff is busy for Quality Professional Training. We took a peek through the window of a conference room to see some of the training happening!

What was on the roof at Schnell this morning? It appears to be a mischievous elf! The school principal is still missing. Where is Mr. Thobe?

An elf was seen at Schnell this morning! Apparently he got tangled in some lights. We are still searching for the school principal. Where is Mr. Thobe?

We love acts of kindness! We just received a donation of over 100 coats from local company, Domtar, in different sizes and colors! A big thank you to Domtar for continuing to support our students and schools!

There were some Grinch sightings at the ECC today! Not to worry! The little Who's were enough to make everyone smile!

It's the season of giving, and High School students were participating in a blood drive. Did you know that students who give blood in High School are more likely to continue to do so as adults?

Shhhhh. Students at Schnell are doing IReady testing. Test results provide teachers with data to measure each student's academic progress. Results also assist teachers in determining if a student or group of students needs assistance in a specific subject.

Can you keep pace? AJ from the Intermediate School can! He completed 100 laps on the PACER (Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run). The PACER test is a multi-stage running test that measures an individual's aerobic capacity. The test involves running 20-meter shuttles back and forth across a marked track while keeping time with beeps. The time between beeps gets shorter each minute, requiring participants to run faster. The test ends when a participant fails to reach the marker in time for the second time. Physical Education and Health Teacher, Jen Moran, said, “this is so rare. I saw this happen about 20 years ago so I’m extremely proud of him!”

Middle School Student Council members helped pack up the food items collected at the school for the annual food drive this morning. Over 5,000 items were collected!
