🍋Students in grades K-5 are invited to participate in the Superintendent's (first-ever) STEM Challenge in partnership with our STEMonade Stand Family Night on March 2nd! 🍋If you have any questions about this optional (no grades attached!) at-home STEM project, email Melanie Beaver, Curriculum Director at [email protected].

Reminder for 5th grade parents! All 6th grade students are required to have 2 additional vaccinations prior to starting their 6th grade year. The required vaccinations are a Tdap (Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis) booster and their first MCV4 (meningitis vaccination). Is your child already over 11 years old? They can go ahead and get these vaccinations in preparation for 6th grade. Please start making plans to be up-to-date by August 2023!

🍋📖Our One School One Book project is underway in our 3 elementary schools this month. All students and staff are reading The Lemonade War by Jacqueline Davies. A summary from bookrags.com states, "This fictional novel addresses the complex relationship between brothers and sisters, as well as how arguments can spiral out of control when people quit communicating with each other. In the end, the siblings realize that working together is better than working against each other." 🍋📚Our students are learning the basics of economics, entrepreneurial skills, marketing, competition, and even forgiveness while reading this book at home with their families (or by listening to the chapter recordings via Canvas). Stay tuned for next week, students and families, because Superintendent Chapman provided the recording for chapter 8! 🍋📗Thank you to this year's sponsors: Clinton Optimists Club, Tri Kappa, Crown Hill Dentistry, Local Coordinating Council (LCC) of Vermillion County, ELANCO, and Vermillion County Community Foundation.
