Tomorrow is the final day to donate for the McConnellsville Candy Takeback Program!


Camden Middle School recently started a guest librarian program! Let's take a moment to learn more about our first two program participants: Cali Closs and Karl Hood! If your student wants to participate in this program, have them see Mrs. Bloomquist or Mrs. Britton in the library!



In art class with Miss Lis, 2nd graders from Mrs. Holmes’s class created beautiful polka dot pumpkins inspired by Yayoi Kusama. Great job, 2nd graders!





Girls Varsity and JV Basketball will be holding open gym sessions ahead of the start of practice on the following selected dates and times! Practices begin on November 18th for all JV and Varsity Winter Sports!

A bit of spare change has added up to make a big difference for some local animals seeking a new home. Mrs. Malenowski's third grade IFA reading group at McConnellsville Elementary School is pleased to announce that they have raised an impressive $825.19 from this year's "Pennies for Puppies, Coins for Kitties" initiative!
During this event, the third graders in the group challenge their fellow students to bring in as much spare change from home as possible to support the animals at the Rome Humane Society. This year, the fundraiser ran from October 22nd until November 4th.
While supporting a good cause, the students learn a lot about communication skills, leadership, and setting goals. In this case, the students set an original goal of $350.00, and with the help of their peers, they quickly surged past that number. The group then decided to challenge themselves even further by aiming for more than $750.00, and they smashed that mark as well!
Thanks to all who stepped up to support this effort!



Election Day is a great day for students to learn how the process works, such as in Mrs. Riegler's Kindergarten Class! The class listened to the audiobook of "Duck for President", then cast their votes for either Duck or Farmer Brown in the voting booth!

A closer look at one of the new additions to our Bus Fleet! We recently took delivery of four Blue Bird Vision Gasoline-Powered Buses.
Fitting to the "Vision" name, these buses will help us have a clearer picture of incidents in and around our buses. They are equipped with stop arm cameras that can produce a comprehensive evidence package for an illegal passing incident, along with a network of interior cameras that provide more coverage than we have ever had previously!

There's still time to order, but it's your last chance!
