Good evening. Due to slick roads and blowing and drifting snow, Hardin Northern will be starting tomorrow, Thursday, January 15th on a 2-hour delay. Any updates will be sent out in the morning. Be safe and have a good night.
Good afternoon. Due to snowy and windy conditions, bus routes may be running 10-20 minutes behind in some cases. Our drivers will be taking extra time and caution to safely deliver all of the kids home. The bus returning from the Columbus field trip is expected to return by 3:40-3:45. Have a good evening and be safe.
Celebrating Success!❄️

Today in writing, second graders took on a fun challenge 🧱✏️ Each student received their own mini LEGO building kit—but with one twist… no instructions!
It didn’t take long for them to realize just how important instructions are and how much they help us. This hands-on activity was the perfect way to show the significance of procedural (how-to) writing and kick off our new writing unit.

2nd Quarter Honor Roll for Jr. High and High School
Last week, Kenton High School hosted the January Student Leaders United Meeting for Sophomores. Students were able to tour the new building. Jim Whitaker from OhioHealth presented to students. As a group, they had to prioritize different skills/attributes and be able to share why they felt it earned that spot on the priority list. The next meeting will be hosted by Riverdale High School in February.
Motivation Monday!
“Choose to shine, even on the cloudy days.”
Not every day will be easy-but your attitude can make it brighter. Bears, be the reason someone smiles, even when skies are gray. Your light matters. Have a great week!

The Historical Gaming class closed the fall semester with a spirited version of the simulation Chicago,1968. That game is part of the Reacting to the Past curriculum, which is very popular on college campuses. Students assume the roles of various historical figures and analyze primary sources to write speeches, set goals, and develop strategies to "replay historical events.
In this game, students assumed the roles of journalists, democratic politicians, and Vietnam-era protesters. The politicians attempted to build a party platform and nominate candidates for president and vice president at the turbulent 1968 Democratic Convention. The protesters' goal was to disrupt the Convention and gain media attention for their causes.
By the end of the Convention, the students nominated VP Hubert Humphrey for president and Governor John Connally for vice president. Unfortunately, several protests broke out during the Convention, and although Karter Terhark, as Mayor Daley, acted swiftly to crush the demonstrations by arresting several protesters, at least one was hospitalized as part of the game. The bad publicity followed the Democrats throughout the election and resulted in a victory for Republican Richard Nixon.
Pictured are Kyler Sedlock, Alex Gatchell, Braxton Burnworth, and Corbian Blair as protesters who seized the podium to nominate their candidate for president - Pigasus. Karter Terhark as Mayor Daley and Riley Newton as the Democratic Party chair, Carl Albert tried to restore order. Cliff Hull, as Abby Hoffman, led the protesters in a musical interruption of the Convention.
Overall, it was a fun and creative way to relive history and explore the issues of the 1968 presidential election.
