Our 2nd graders, led by Chelsea Wyss, put on a wonderful program on Wednesday, April 15th! Their performance was inspired by the book Rhythm of the Rain and beautifully brought the story to life.

Students sang, played instruments, and helped narrate the story while incorporating songs that connected to the theme. It was a creative and engaging performance that showcased their hard work and talent.

They did a fantastic job, and we are so proud of their effort and enthusiasm! 🎶🌧️

Our Chemistry students have been hard at work bringing science to life! 🧪

Students explored what a mole of a pure substance looks like across different materials, gaining a better understanding of just how massive 6.02 x 10²³ particles really is.

They also put their measurement skills to the test by analyzing objects to determine how many atoms or molecules they contain.

Hands-on learning in action! 🔬

What an unforgettable experience for our marching band!

On April 1, 2026, our students had the incredible honor of marching down Main Street, U.S.A. at Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World. From the energy of the crowd to the excitement of performing in such an iconic place, it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime moment.

These students represented our school with pride, talent, and heart every step of the way. The early mornings, long rehearsals, and dedication all came together in the most magical way.

We couldn’t be more proud of this group and the memories they made together.

Our district has been working toward earning the designation of a Purple Star School District. This recognition highlights a strong commitment to supporting military-connected students and their families, and the unique challenges they may face.

April is designated as the Month of the Military Child, and we look forward to celebrating and recognizing these students and families.

One event to mark your calendars for is the statewide “Purple Up” Day on April 22.

Lyndsey Borjas has designed a special shirt for the occasion and has invited us to share the order link. If you would like to purchase a shirt, you can do so here: https://purpleup26.itemorder.com/shop/home/

The order deadline is April 5, and shirts will be delivered to the school and sent home with students and staff. An image of the shirt is attached. Two dollars from each shirt sold will be donated to Ohio Military Kids, a nonprofit organization that provides programs and support for military-connected youth across the state.

If you have any questions or ideas, we would love to hear from you.

Environmental Science finished up our study of agriculture. In our final lab, students checked how soil salinization (from irrigation) can affect seed germination. We used soybeans placed in salinity conditions of 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2%. Then, students checked their soybeans for germination on day three. Class data indicated that seed germination is severely affected at salt levels above 1.5%.
