September, 2014
School News – by Steve Poe, Superintendent
In preparation for a new school year, the summer months gave us an opportunity to do some “spring cleaning” and maintenance at the school. The following is a list of some of the tasks we completed over the summer: replaced four office windows; installed heating/A.C. units in offices and room 124; built shelves in student council storage room; installed cabinets and countertops in French room; replaced the original stove in the kitchen; cleaned all vents, fans and windows in the gymnasium; installed electric hand dryers in the gym restrooms and motion lights in the locker rooms; replaced broken fence and gates around the playground; installed an extra wide door to the music room; replaced all cracked floor tiles; poured needed concrete at corner of Catawba and Concord sidewalk; painted offices, rooms and hallways where needed; repaired sink fixtures in pre-kindergarten and art rooms; installed a new office security window; cleaned all carpets/waxed all tiles; and replaced damaged ceiling tiles and repaired the numerous roof leaks that were exposed from our brutal winter and rainy summer.
This year’s motto is, “Learners Today, Leaders Tomorrow,” and we look forward to another successful school year. For a school and community our size, our students have many opportunities to find success. The following are some of the clubs, sports, and activities available to our students: Academic Challenge, Music Performances, Post Secondary Educational Option Courses, Computer Club, Fishing, Archery, Cross-Country, Basketball, Student Government, Environmental Club, Community Service Work, Yearbook, Science Olympiad, Murder Mystery, Robotics, and Put-in-Bay Arts Council Drama Performances.
