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/

Being involved is one of the best ways to find out what's happening in the school district. These five High School students are involved as Board of Education student representatives. They attend board meetings to understand how the school board operates and the decisions made. The student reps do not have a vote on agenda items, but they do have an opportunity to ask questions and report what's happening at the High School at each meeting. They are chosen through an application and interview process. This year, there were so many good candidates that the group grew from three to five!

West Carrollton teachers are always making classroom time fun with creative lesson plans. Ms. G. at the ECC had a football draft for her kindergarten class. Students picked their team (at random), then had a chance to trade with another student or pick another team that hadn’t been drawn. They each got a coloring sheet that matched the team they chose. They will research their team's logo and then color their sheet with the team colors. Every week, students will follow game scores and make predictions about their team. The lesson combines social, research, art, and math skills. We will be following the fun throughout the football season. Of course, our favorite team is the WC Pirates!

Mrs. Earl's Video Production II and Broadcast News students got hands-on experience with the MVCC TV truck yesterday! Some of our students will put those skills into action this Friday as part of the MVCC TV Crew, helping produce our home football game.

A huge THANK YOU to MVCC for their continued collaboration with our Career Tech students! These real-world experiences allow students to build skills, gain confidence, and experience what it’s like to work in the industry.

There's a song about the wheels on the bus going round and round, but at WC Elementary, the wheels are meant to be eaten! Students used their senses to describe the ingredients needed to build the bus, including graham crackers and frosting. Students also used counting skills to determine how many of each item they would need. What a sweet lesson!
