Elementary students were dressing like their teachers or favorite school employee today. One teacher joined in on the fun. Miss Ward dressed like her favorite school custodian, Johnny Ward, who happens to be her dad!
Mr. Thobe has an admirer. Today at the elementary school, students are showing they are thankful for their teachers by dressing like them. Connor wanted to dress like Mr. Thobe because he’s one of his favorite people. Good job, Connor! We are thankful to have you as a student!
WC Elementary celebrated Hat Day, but it wasn't just for the students!
Today is World Kindness Day. If we start kindness at home, kids can take it to school and share it with their teachers, support staff, and classmates. Teachers, support staff, and classmates can take it home and share it with their families. It can keep spreading from there! Let's make the school district a kind place to be!
Miss Ward's elementary class wanted to share a special message!
Happy Veterans Day! Thank you to all our active-duty military members and all those who have served. These two boys dressed as their heroes, and you are our heroes, too!
It's an exciting morning for 3 elementary students! They are eating breakfast with the firefighters at the West Carrollton Fire Department! Later, they will get to ride to school on the fire truck!
The West Carrollton community offers many opportunities for young Pirates, including being Champions! Congratulations to the young players, cheerleaders, and coaches for their outstanding performance and for becoming the 2025 Bantam Silver Bowl Conference Champions!
Some of our elementary students had a field trip, and all they had to do was walk to the West Carrollton Civic Center! The City Communications Manager, Miss Yvonne, showed students the offices at the Civic Center and the City Council room where the City Council meets. Students were able to meet police detectives, sit in the back of a police car, sit in the back of an ambulance, and see the inside of a fire truck. The visit coincides with what they have been learning about people improving their communities. Following the visit to the Civic Center, students visited the Dayton Metro Library to select books for research on an upcoming writing assignment about a person or group of people who contribute to their community.
Things looked different in Mrs. Schoenleben's class today. Even though she had a cowgirl, a police officer, and other mysterious characters in her classroom, they all managed to make it through the day.
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.
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
Pirates are everywhere! Elementary school students and staff are showing their Pirate Pride! #westcarrolltonelementary #wcpiratepride
The fun has started! It's National Talk Like a Pirate Day!! #westcarrolltonelementary #wcpiratepride
The future looks bright! These elementary students are Youth Leadership candidates. Each wrote a speech demonstrating how they will represent their classroom and their peers. Their Pirate Pride was definitely showing! #wcpiratepride #westcarrolltonelementary
Just over a week into the school year, and elementary students are settling into the morning routine!
