Congratulations to HS Student of the Week, Brooke Terwilliger!

An apple a day keeps the doctor away has never seemed easier! Check out these amazing apple creations by Mrs. Mackinlay's Culinary Arts students.

Mrs. Pennington’s class was the big winner of the January PBIS monthly reward, and today they got their prize - a sled riding party followed by hot cocoa in their classroom! The kids (and adults) had a great time! Thanks to all the parents who brought sleds and packed up snow gear for their kiddos and for remembering to do all that on a Monday!

Here are the last posts from Mrs. Miller’s students and the similes they did about 2020 unless someone sends her more in her classroom. We hope you have enjoyed them! Alivya Hartzell: 2020 was like a tornado taking you away but you never get put down. Chase Ruth: 2020 was as bad as the pirates season in 2020.... Andrew Stevenson: 2020 is like 1920 in the sense that you have to avoid people like you are gonna get bubonic plague. Shawn Everett: 2020 was like the Panther's making the playoffs. (No offense to Panther fans.) 2020 was like the Grinch during Christmas. Payton Duffee: 2020 was as happy as going to the dentist.

Congratulations to HS Student of the Week, Cailyn Shaffer!

Here are more similes about 2020 from Mrs. Miller’s 8th grade English class. They are so funny. Chase Ruth: 2020 was like giving up a grand slam in the championship game and losing because of it. 2020 is as bad as your sister's cooking.... Bailey Pentz: 2020 is like a Stephen King book. Andrew Stevenson: 2020 is like burnt pop corn it leaves a bad residue. Ava Snyder: 2020 was as unpredictable as Pennsylvania´s weather.

The students of Mrs. Linda Miller have a Google Classroom titled Obstacles to Opportunities where they can share ideas, encourage each other, and express how they help others during these trying times. Before the Christmas break, they were challenged to write original similes and/or metaphors for 2020. We will post a few of their responses each day as we put 2020 behind and hope for a better year ahead. Baylie Wingard: The year 2020 is like a nightmare, trying to wake up in... 2021 like a fairy-tale. Jaidyn Papucci: 1. The year 2020 was like reliving Friday the 13th, bad luck came everyday. 2.The year 2020 was like a trick candle, you blow it out, something new pops up. Simeon Elder: 2020 was as bad as a rotten banana. Alivya Hartzell: 2020 was like solving Jumanji and then it comes back to life. Check in tomorrow for more! Happy New Year!
