Our third-grade students were thrilled to participate in Junior Achievement's 'Our City' program! These engaging lessons introduced financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and key social studies concepts—teaching students how people manage money and the importance of economic exchange within a community. The children loved learning through these fun, interactive sessions led by Mrs. Danic. #SmallCommunityBigOpportunities #SuperExcitedMSDSC

This weekend (April 5th), four of our talented students – Daniel Koch, Kaden Klink, Kiara Hohenberger, and Cannon Justice – will be competing at the State Science Fair at IU Indianapolis! 🙌 Daniel and Kaden have been testing AIs like ChatGPT, Meta AI, and DeepSeek to analyze court transcripts and predict verdicts with accuracy. The future goal is to use technology in low-profile, civil, and family cases. Kiara and Cannon, on the other hand, dove deep into the world of therapy. They explored EMDR therapy and compared it with traditional behavioral therapy. Their work looks at the future of mental health treatment and how these therapies could evolve. We’re incredibly proud of all four of them and can’t wait to see what they’ll accomplish! Best of luck at the State Science Fair! #SuperExcitedMSDSC#SmallCommunityBigOpportunities

Mrs. Robertson's class at Ryan Park spent time Tuesday searching for the elusive Looflipra bird. Each student had a carrot in hand as they walked around the playground, hoping to make the bird appear. After a while and a few more clues, the students realized that Looflipra is actually April Fool spelled backward. This fun adventure got the students outside while encouraging them to use their critical thinking skills.

Our paraprofessionals are true difference-makers, and our classrooms simply wouldn’t function without their dedication and support. Thank you for all that you do!

Last evening, each of our elementary schools hosted a Title I Night called the Amazing Reading Race! Students read clues with their families and raced around the building to find teachers that shared about the five pillars of literacy. Families also got materials to practice and take home to continue practicing reading skills at home. The partnership between teachers, students, and families are game changing for student success!
