MSD of Steuben County

We are proud to announce. Ryan Park has been ranked as a "Best Elementary School" by U.S. News and World Report. Ryan Park Elementary distinguished itself by demonstrating both high academic achievement and an ability to support and elevate student learning across all segments of its student body. This recognition underscores the school's dedication to providing quality education and creating opportunities for every student to succeed. We are incredibly proud of our students, teachers, and staff. This award validates our ongoing commitment to educational excellence and equity.

Over 40 budding young scientists from our elementary school showcased their research and creativity at this year's science fair. Students presented fascinating experiments, exploring questions like: Which water bottle truly keeps things the coldest? What popcorn brand pops the most perfectly? We're incredibly proud of all our students who participated in the competition. Special congratulations to those who will advance to the district competitions. You might just be on your way to the regionals at Trine University and maybe even to the state finals! Keep exploring, questioning, and discovering! 🌟🧪#SmallCommunitiesBigOpportunities #SteubenStories

Mrs. Crankshaw's 1st-grade class embraced November's civic and cultural themes through an engaging educational experience. Students explored elections and Thanksgiving by participating in the WLKI Annual Charity Pie Auction for Cops for Kids. As part of their community involvement, the class conducted a democratic pie flavor vote, offering three enticing options: Caramel Apple, Gingerbread, and Brownie Pecan. Gingerbread was the clear favorite. A thoughtful parent baked the winning pie and provided samples for students to taste, enhancing their learning experience. The Gingerbread pie was ultimately purchased by Nate's Lawncare during the auction, supporting local charitable efforts. Great Job Mrs. Crankshaws Class. #SmallCommunitiesBigOpportunities

The Trine Women's Hockey team brought excitement to Hendry Park, while Ryan Park celebrated its December Rhino Way winners with a spirited parade. Over at Pleasant Lake Montessori, students got into the Thanksgiving spirit with a creative turkey bowling competition.

Yesterday Pleasant Lake Montesorri held "Pancakes for Pals" Students were invited to bring a friend for breakfast. Trine football players joined in on the fun. It was hard to tell who was having more fun the Trine students or our students.

Mr. Justin Lomont's 7th Grade Honors Language Arts class recently hosted a debate on the question: "Is a hotdog a sandwich?" The class began with Mr. Lomont reviewing the rules of debate. Over the previous lessons, students had researched their positions and crafted thoughtful opening and closing statements. Once the room was set up, excitement and anticipation filled the space as students presented their prepared opening remarks. The intensity grew as the rebuttal rounds began, with each team having two minutes to argue their case before the other team responded. It was clear that every student had listened attentively, as their rebuttals directly addressed the points raised by the opposing side. Even during lunch, the debate was on everyone's minds, with students eagerly discussing their thoughts and ideas. After lunch, the final round began with closing statements, where each team had one last opportunity to persuade their peers. In the end, it was decided — hotdogs are delicious! As a fun reward for their hard work, each student was given a gummy hotdog. Students are already looking forward to their next debate!
