- Testing
- Next week ALL students will be taking the Ohio Achievement Test. 7th grade will have tests on Monday morning, Tuesday morning, and Wednesday afternoon. 8th graders will have tests on Monday morning and Tuesday morning. For students to do their best on the test, it is important that they get a good night’s sleep and have breakfast each day.
- Orchestra
- We will have Orchestra all five days next week. Students will need their instrument each day Monday through Friday
- Brown Bag Lunch-4-25-12
- Wednesday morning we will be walking to Bear’s Mill for a Water Quality Study. Students should wear old clothes and shoes that are appropriate for walking. We will be eating lunch at the Mill. Students should bring a brown bag lunch with no warm-ups.
- Concert Rehearsal Drop-Off
- On Friday, May 4, we will be rehearsing for the concert at Memorial Hall. Drop-off will be at Memorial Hall that day from 7:30-7:45. Students will be responsible for having their instrument and music with them. Pick-up will be normal at the Farm.
- No School
- There is no school on Friday, May 11 for Jr. High Students only.
- Thank You!
- We would especially like to thank Chris and Gretchen Snyder for their support of our Power of the Pen team. Gretchen has been willing to donate her time to be an 8th grade judge which allows us to participate in both grade levels of competition and they generously donated the team’s Power of the Pen shirts!
- We would also like to thank Joe Coakley for being willing to be the parent chaperone for our team during the Botkins Tournament! We appreciate the kindness, support, and generosity of all of our families!
- DRIVEWAY
- The potholes in the driveway have recently been addressed. We have purchased stone and services to grade the driveway. Our goal is to provide everyone with a satisfactory driving surface. We ask everyone to drive SLOWLY (5-10mph) as this will greatly help to maintain the condition of the driveway.

- This discount will be available prior to each quarter.
- To qualify for 3rd quarter full payment must be recieved by January 20th.
