Things are heating up in the High School gym to prepare for the Staff/Student basketball game!

Creating art, making music, working on a puzzle, and even petting a goat are all ways to deal with stress. Those are some of the things Middle School students got to experience this morning as they learned about coping skills.
A mysterious feline was spotted at Harold Schnell. Could it be that the Cat in the Hat jumped right out of a book during Read Across America Week?


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!

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?
