Yesterday, our school community gathered for a deeply moving Veterans Day Breakfast and Assembly to honor the brave men and women who have served our nation.
As a proud Purple Star School, supporting our military-involved students and families is central to who we are, and this assembly was a beautiful testament to that commitment. The program was a true collaborative effort:
⭐ Led with maturity and grace by our 5th Grade Student Council, who shared a thoughtful skit on the importance of Veterans Day.
🎶 Coordinated by Mrs. Campbell (our Librarian and Purple Star Coordinator) and Mrs. Ark (Music Teacher), every grade level, K-5, shared a heartfelt song or sign language piece for our veterans and their families.
🎺 The ceremony was highlighted by our High School Band, featuring a touching and solemn rendition of "Taps," performed beautifully by our own Mr. Oyer.
We are profoundly grateful for the service and sacrifice of all veterans. Thank you for protecting the freedoms we cherish. We salute you today and every day.
This wonderful day out—complete with pumpkin picking and endless outdoor play—was made possible entirely by the generous support of our PTO! Experiential learning like this helps our students develop Adaptable Decision-Making and practice Empathetic Citizenship as they interact with peers across different grade levels.
What a wonderful way to enjoy the season! Thank you to everyone who made this possible.
From the meticulous research and confident speeches at the Famous Ohioan Wax Museum to the scientific curiosity shown during our pumpkin experiments, our students were fully engaged. We also celebrated community with the PTO's Donuts with Grown-Ups event and wrapped up the month in style with our spectacular Costume Parade!
A special shout-out to our Courageous Character Students of the Month—you inspire us all. Get ready for more excitement in November! Swipe through the pictures to see the highlights!

This month, we recognized students who exemplify what it means to be a Confident Communicator. These are the students who speak clearly and respectfully, share their ideas with conviction, and listen actively to others. They lead conversations and help foster a positive learning environment for everyone!
It was an honor to have them eat lunch with me (the Principal!) on the stage and receive their certificates and balloons. Every single student was beaming, and we are so proud to recognize their efforts and hard work.
Thank you for making our first celebration back a huge success!
Stay tuned to see who we celebrate next month!
