Jax did a great job transitioning back to class/school after a very long break! He went right back to routines and rules without hesitation! Gracie has shown that she is committed to doing her best in her commitment to her school work and extracurricular activities. She manages her schedule very well, knowing where she needs to be and when, as well as being prepared with her materials. She is a great role model for her peers. Blakely has been extremely helpful in the classroom, offering to help with any task including watering plants, organizing books, and more. She has been a great role model for other students with her willingness to step in and show pride for her learning environment.



❄️✨ What a “SNOW-tastic” adventure! Yesterday, our high school students had the opportunity to enjoy an incredible snow tubing trip as a well-deserved reward for their efforts. 🛷👏
A village-sized THANK YOU to Halm Investment Services; this opportunity would not have been possible without your incredible generosity! We would also like to thank Uhrig Financial, Adena FCCLA, Mrs. Shiplett, Mr. Rann, Mrs. Cormany, Ms. Leedy, Mr. Mathis, Mrs. Gleason, Mr. Beery and Mr. Smith for supporting this adventure! Your kindness brought smiles, laughter, and unforgettable memories to these students. Thank you for making a difference! 💙











Please see the attached supplemental posting!


Kinsley is a great PAX leader! She shows PRIDE in the hallways by picking up trash on the way to the buses. Corbin is a great PAX leader. He is always ready to help anyone in the classroom.


At the end of class, Kameron praised other classmates for working hard. His sportsmanship is admirable.


The maturity and growth Mallory has showed over the last several years is off the charts. Mallory is kind to her friends at lunch and always shows PAX behaviors in the cafeteria. I hope she always loves school as much as she does now!


Daxton behaves with BLUE behavior daily! He is respectful, hardworking, and committed to learning. Quinton is working hard to focus and show BLUE behavior in class. Mia has BLUE behavior in school daily. She is kind to all students, works hard, and models good choices. Lizzy is a model student. She comes to class with a happy heart and a positive attitude. She works hard and is friendly to all of her classmates.


Ariel is always cheerful and focused on her work. She always does everything asked of her and more. She is showing improvements every week and is always eager to learn. Way to be committed Ariel!


Emma is a ray of sunshine in the mornings and greets every student that arrives in the classroom. She helps friends find their seats and gets their chairs down for them. In the gym, Emma finds her spot quickly and listens to directions. She participates in all activities and cheers on her friends.


Hank ALWAYS shows Pax while lining up/walking to recess after lunch. By demonstrating being quiet and respectful in the hallways it is clear that he is a great role model for his fellow classmates!


Harley always participates and does her best work in class. She is very kind to her classmates and teachers.


Kylar was wrote up by two separate people. The first one stated Kylar always follows directions and participates in class. She is very polite and kind to her teachers and peers. The second one Kylar, Helanna, and Serenity were praised for when another student wanted to do an activity but said she gets embarrassed easily, they welcomed her to join them and practiced teaching her the skills they knew. They had a plan to keep showing her at recess when they ran out of class time.


Good afternoon Warrior Nation!
As some have already seen, we have new signs to control the flow of traffic in our back parking lot before and after school during drop off. These signs are to encourage the flow of traffic to go around the parking lot instead of all rows throughout the parking lot. This allows for the flow of traffic to move steadily and helps our buses to enter and exit their parking lot.
We also want to remind all of our parents that parking along the curb in the back is prohibited. This is due to the fact that it is a fire lane, and it is the location where some of our students with special pick up needs are picked up. We ask that parents find an open parking spot in the lot by accessing the back entrances to the parking lanes. We thank you for your help in ensuring a safe drop off and pick up procedure for all of our young Warriors!


Peighton can recite our daily affirmations: I am kind, I am smart, I am important. Way to be a kind Pax leader! Cora was quick to help when the teacher made a mess. She was careful when grabbing supplies and wore a smile the entire time.



Alex is committed to diligent working habits. She is always doing her best. I am very proud of her progress!
