WARNING - Minions have taken over the library at the Early Childhood Center. Be on the lookout for students having extra fun!
A cow? On a bus? The Butterfly Bus that transports students to and from the Early Childhood Center has adopted Peony through discoverydairy.com that allows students to follow the life of a calf throughout the school year. Some classrooms in the district have adopted a calf, but this is the first time a calf has been adopted by a bus! Fortunately, Peony visits the kids via pictures so no extra bus cleaning is involved.
You may not see windows now, but they are on site and will soon be installed at the new West Carrollton Elementary. Workers are taking advantage of the weather as they work on the exterior of the building. The building will be open in less than a year and will welcome second through fourth graders for the 2025-26 school year!
Early voting was happening yesterday. The lines to vote were long, but voters were happy to wait and eager to cast their ballot. Early polls showed a close race, but in the end, Duck won in a landslide against Farmer Brown.
Let's start the week with kindness!

The exit plan should include a n outside meeting place.
It's Mustache Day at Schnell! It's one of the fun spirit day activities happening this week as we get closer to Homecoming. The theme this year is A Night in Paris.
Pop can tabs + counting = a fun way to learn for Harold Schnell students! Second graders will be collecting pop tabs and using them to learn about numbers up to 1,000. If you have any tabs, they may be donated at the school through Nov. 22. After using them as a learning tool, the tabs will be donated to the Ronald McDonald House charity.
What's happening at the High School today? Volleyball! Go Pirates!!

It was an honor to be chosen as the host school for the Jostens Renaissance Better Than Good Tour! Students from 28 area High Schools attended to hear keynote speakers and participate in breakout sessions. The focus of the day was creating a positive environment. Some lines from the keynote speakers included, "If you talk behind someone's back, you will always be behind them," and "You don't choose your life, but you do get to choose how to live it." Another important line for student leaders was, "They won't follow what you say, but they will follow what you do." These are powerful words for our young people as well as adults!
