At the request of the fire departments. The parade route for Sunday will now be:
Leave the school at 2:00, travel to Toledo and around the square. Down Toledo/Jewett road through main street in Jewett. Down route 40 through Greenup and back to the school. The school district is encouraging that all individuals practice social distancing. Sorry for the change of plans.
Mr. Maynard
This year has been a difficult one; first, I was gone on maternity leave during first semester, and then we moved to Remote Learning for the second semester. I love my job and my students, and having so little time to be able to teach them has been hard on me. My kids truly deserve the best and I hope they know that I am sorry that they haven't gotten a full year of art.
With that being said, my students need to be recognized for the artwork they have created. Since we can't have our Fine Arts Night, I thought I'd try to acknowledge their efforts in this format. I am still doing Outstanding Art Student awards - the winners are at the end of presentation.
Thank you!
Wendy Peters, High School Art Teacher
