Miss Elizabeth from Carnegie Public Library in Angola has been on a grand tour of our elementary schools this week to share read alouds and the summer offerings available at the library. By Monday afternoon, she will have visited every elementary student in the district! Check your child's backpack for summer reading program information over the next few days. There are many ways to keep students learning at the library this summer.





Not even the rain could dampen the spirits of the teachers and staff, who smiled and enjoyed the morning as they were welcomed with announcements from Dr. Widenhoefer and morning beverages from Travelin' Tom's Coffee.






Teachers play a vital role in our schools and significantly impact students' lives. This week, please take a moment to express gratitude to a teacher who has made a positive difference for you.

Students in Ms. Hartman's class at Ryan Park have spent the past few weeks learning about life cycles while caring for chicken eggs. The chicks have finally arrived, and now the students have the unique opportunity to touch or hold these little creatures—an experience many would never have had otherwise.







Bunnies blowing bubbles! Ryan Park 1st Graders enjoyed B Day as part of their ABC Countdown!











Students in Mrs. Baierwalter's focus group have been doing a study on different classifications of animals. Students then created new animals from 3 parts of other animals and shared them with the group. Then students debated if their new animals creations would be amphibians, mammals, fish, insects, arachnids, or reptiles. They then discussed the type of environment each new animal would need to thrive.
