Earlier this week, Mr. Foster’s Personal Finance class visited the Ohio Supreme Court in Columbus. The day started with a tour of the Thomas Moyer Supreme Court building. Students learned about the artwork, architecture, and the extensive efforts to restore the 1930s building. Students explored the Law Library and the Courthouse Visitor Center, where they participated in several interactive displays. Each student was assigned a role in a criminal case and an appellate case.

As a final stop and reward, we stopped for lunch at Son of Thurman in Delaware, where pounds and pounds of hamburgers (and two salads) were devoured! Good food for a great group of kids.

Our second graders have been learning about force and motion and discovered that gravity pulls objects down. They put their learning into action by designing and building marble roller coasters with loops, twists, and turns. Students tested, adjusted, and improved their designs to make the marble “loop the loop”—and had a great time learning through hands-on science! 🎢🔬✨

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.

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.

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.
