ECC students looked a little different this morning when they came to school wearing their favorite costumes. Many of our students will be out this evening for Beggar's Night. Please watch out for them. Be especially cautious when driving. We want all of our Pirates to have a safe and fun night!
Intermediate School students were catapulting pumpkins this morning! Student teams created a catapult using rubber bands, popsicle sticks, and a plastic spoon. They used the device they made to catapult candy pumpkins and marshmallows onto a target.
Did you know that ghosts wear glasses? Some like to play musical instruments, while others enjoy playing on the playground. Whatever they are doing, and wherever they may be at WC Elementary, we can assure you that they are friendly.
Meet Ehaan. He didn’t always go to West Carrollton Schools, but he is glad he’s here now. His favorite subject is math because “it’s just how my brain works.” He enjoys talking about equations. He likes participating in the Uno Club at school and enjoys gym time. Outside of school, he enjoys playing football, video games, riding his bike, and spending time outdoors. He said, “I really enjoy time outside.” Ehaan isn’t sure what he would like to do after he graduates in 2033, but we will be here to help him along the way! We’re glad you’re in West Carrollton Schools now! You will always be a Pirate! #wcpiratepride #westcarrolltonclassof2033
What is orange and squishy? Some of the Middle School students found out that it's the inside of a pumpkin!
7th-grade students had a wheel-y good time at Skateworld. They skated into the fun by demonstrating positive behavior, including good attendance and good grades. 8th-grade students exhibiting positive behavior rolled into fun earlier in the week when they visited Poelking Lanes to bowl. That's how Pirates roll!
Middle School students have been traveling throughout 21 Hispanic countries without ever leaving the school! Students used a passport in their advisory classes to "visit" one Spanish-speaking country each day and write down what they learned. Students who completed their passports were entered into a raffle for a Hispanic Heritage Month Lunch! One student from each advisory class was selected to learn about the cuisine in different Hispanic countries. Students got to try things like “gallo pinto” (a rice and bean dish) from Costa Rica, “empanadas” (savory pastries stuffed with different meats and/or veggies) from Argentina, “enchiladas” (stuffed and rolled tortillas covered in sauce) from Mexico, and various candies and drinks from several Hispanic countries. The lunch was a huge success with students being brave to try new things and surprised to find that they actually liked the things they weren’t so sure about! Additionally, every student across the building created a quilt square during their advisory class with a drawing that represented one of the 21 Hispanic countries. Classes voted on their “top 5” in each advisory, and those squares were put together as a "quilt" to unify our student body in all that we’ve learned this past month.
Moraine Fire Marshal Doug Hatcher visited fifth-grade students today and talked about home fire prevention. Some of the things they learned were to use surge protectors instead of extension cords, not to walk away from a burning candle or anything cooking, and to unplug appliances when they're not in use. Good reminders for all of us! If you want to know more about fire prevention, ask a fifth grader! They learned a lot today! #morainefiredepartment #westcarrolltonintermediateschool
High School students interested in attending The Ohio State University had a visit this morning from a university enrollment representative. She had information to share, including that the university offers over 200 majors and has over 1,400 student organizations. This is one of the opportunities West Carrollton students have as they explore options and choose the path they would like to follow after graduation. #theohiostateuniversity #westcarrolltonhighschool
What happens during a QPT Day? Collaboration and learning! We found some of our High School staff working together, and some of our student support staff watching a presentation about CPR. Those are just two of the things happening today! #wcpiratepride
The College Fair is happening today at the High School!
It's Senior Night for volleyball. Only one Senior, but a lot of Pirate Pride.
West Carrollton firefighters are at the elementary school this morning talking about fire safety. It's Fire Prevention week. Does your family have a safety plan in case a fire happens in your home?
Today is National Manufacturing Day, and our friends at FC Industries opened their doors to our Middle School students who have been studying robotics. Students were able to tour the facility and see robots in action, as well as how parts are manufactured. Thank you to everyone at FC Industries, including two of our past graduates who spoke with our students during the tour!
Congratulations to Alahna R., who was crowned the Homecoming Queen, and Amarion M., who was crowned the Homecoming King. The entire Homecoming Court joined them on the field to celebrate! #wcpiratepride #westcarrolltonhighschool
Do your hair ties match? Do your shoes match? What is that on your head? The answers to those questions may be no, no, and a noodle container, but that's what happens when you have a Wacky Wednesday at the Early Childhood Center! #westcarrolltonecc
Meet Sadie. She is our first Student Spotlight of the 2025-26 school year, but she won’t be our last! Sadie has always attended West Carrollton Schools, and she is now a Middle School student. Her favorite subject is math. She said, “It’s fun to learn. You get to learn different things.” While at the Intermediate School, Sadie participated in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) Club as well as the Drone Club. Those activities have sparked her interest in engineering, and that is what she would like to focus on when she attends college. She said, “I want to build bridges.” In the meantime, she is enjoying her time at the Middle School. She is currently participating in volleyball and is looking forward to trying out for softball. She also enjoys gym class and lunchtime at school, when she gets to spend time with her friends. Outside of school, she enjoys making bracelets and riding her bike. We asked Sadie what makes West Carrollton special. She said, “Everybody is close. I know everybody in my grade.” #westcarrolltonmiddleschool #wcpiratepride #wcclassof2031
Pirates are everywhere! Elementary school students and staff are showing their Pirate Pride! #westcarrolltonelementary #wcpiratepride
What do you do on a beautiful day when you want to do a science experiment? Take it outside! Safety first. Put on your goggles. Although we didn't see the conclusion of the experiment, we did see a soda bottle, so we're guessing there was some fizz! #westcarrolltonmiddleschool
The fun has started! It's National Talk Like a Pirate Day!! #westcarrolltonelementary #wcpiratepride
