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 conceptsāteaching students how people manage money and the importance of economic exchange within a community.

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.
This weekend (April 5th), four of our talented students ā Daniel Koch, Kaden Klink, Kiara Hohenberger, and Cannon Justice ā will be competing at the State Science Fair at IU Indianapolis! š
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.
Weāre incredibly proud of all four of them and canāt wait to see what theyāll accomplish! Best of luck at the State Science Fair! #SuperExcitedMSDSC#SmallCommunityBigOpportunities
Our paraprofessionals are true difference-makers, and our classrooms simply wouldnāt 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!

Hendry Park students spent a morning learning about Angola's History. The 1st grade classes began by meeting Carolyn Powers in the Media Center where they enjoyed a story about Sojourner Truth. Students then bundled up in their coats, hats, and gloves for their walk to the mound. At the mound, they gathered on the front steps of the old courthouse where Louann Holman entertained them with stories about the statues. They discovered interesting facts about Sojourner Truth and our Soldiers' Monument that they're excited to share with their families tonight. #SmallCommunityBigOpportunities #AngolaIn
The Flags Look Great! Thank you!!
