We are so proud of the connections being made and the positive impact our Bigs are having on their Littles (and vice versa!). Thank you to our mentors, students, staff, and families for helping make these experiences possible.
We look forward to many more fun activities, lasting friendships, and growing connections in the months ahead!
Our art teacher, Mrs. Kipp, and her students have been working together to create a community tapestry. All students in grades 1–5 had the opportunity to contribute, making this a true collaborative effort. After lots and lots of hard work, the tapestry is finally complete, and it is more beautiful than ever!
We love the message behind this project: when we work together, we can create something truly amazing!
A big thank-you to our amazing SRO and DARE officer, Deputy Freeman, for leading this program and helping our students build confidence, responsibility, and essential life skills!
We're also grateful to the Pickaway County Sheriff's Office and the Ruth Neff DARE Fund for their continued support of programs like this. We look forward to seeing our students continue to learn, grow, and put these important lessons into practice throughout the school year!
This week, we will send home a letter with more details, including test requirements, preparation tips, and ways you can support your student. Please email your child's teacher with any questions.
