The MSD of Steuben County 2024-2025 school calendar was approved two years ago to help families plan for school events, including graduation. However, the Indiana High School Athletic Association moved all of its calendar events back one week for the 2024-2025 school year. Unfortunately, this has caused a conflict between the spring sporting events that our senior students will participate in and our graduation ceremony. We want to make sure that all of our senior students have the opportunity to participate in their extracurricular activities and their graduation ceremony. For this reason, we are rescheduling the class for the 2025 graduation ceremony from Thursday, May 29th 7:00 p.m. to Friday, May 30th, at 7:00 p.m. at the Hornet Football Stadium.
On Friday January 31st were are going to host a Hat Day at Ryan Park in support of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. On the 31st students are allowed to wear a hat to school. $1 donations will be collected by their teacher and donated to LLS. Please see the attached flyer for more information.

1st graders at Ryan Park enjoyed Candy Cane Day! Students completed an experiment and formed their hypotheses on whether warm or cold water would dissolve a candy cane faster. Students studied 2 different legends of the candy cane and then wrote an opinion piece on which legend they felt was true and why. Students took data on which candy cane was more popular in the candy cane exchange based on color.
Yesterday our Ryan Park 5th grade students competed in our annual Spelling Bee. Everyone did an amazing job spelling!! Congratulations to our runner up Sofie Garza and our champion Sophie Hasselman. Outstanding job ladies!!
Ryan Park Elementary showcased their holiday spirit last Friday. The 1st and 2nd graders took the lead, presenting a festive performance directed by Allison Arnos. The show featured everything from rapping reindeer to the lively Lords a Leaping. The event also included a special visit from Mayor Martin, who announced the winner of the Ryan Park Christmas Card competition. It was a heartwarming and memorable way to wrap up the week!
