First grade had a great time learning all about Lunar New Year and the Year of the Snake! Mrs. Crankshaw shared pictures and items from her trip to China, we read books, made dragons, played tangrams, and the most fun was learning to eat with chopsticks!

The MSD of Steuben County 2024-2025 school calendar was approved two years ago to help families plan for school events, including graduation. However, the Indiana High School Athletic Association moved all of its calendar events back one week for the 2024-2025 school year. Unfortunately, this has caused a conflict between the spring sporting events that our senior students will participate in and our graduation ceremony. We want to make sure that all of our senior students have the opportunity to participate in their extracurricular activities and their graduation ceremony. For this reason, we are rescheduling the class for the 2025 graduation ceremony from Thursday, May 29th 7:00 p.m. to Friday, May 30th, at 7:00 p.m. at the Hornet Football Stadium.

Before the break, Mrs. Alexander's kindergarten class spent two weeks "traveling the world". Some of the special events they did were - transforming themselves into elves, engaging in a video call with Ms Sparks while she was at a Christmas market in Belgium, having Jammie day, and sipping on hot cocoa made by Mrs. Wolfe (thank you, Mrs. Wolfe)
The K-5 Emotional Disabilities program at Hendry Park spread holiday cheer this year with their 3rd annual project-based learning service project: a Christmas gift drive. With the support of students, staff, and families, they collected 105 gifts, which were donated to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northeast Indiana. This heartwarming initiative not only brought joy to children in need but also reinforced the spirit of giving and community involvement. #SmallCommunitiesBigOpportunities
