The SDHS Prom was awesome last night! Our students had such a good time! I didn’t have the heart to tell them that they were getting down to music from my college days 🤣
I had the best dates to prom (my wife and son). I am blessed to have a family that is invested in the SD Community!
I want to give a huge shoutout to Mrs. Michelle Ballart and Mrs. Tammy Dixon. They (and their team) do an amazing job of putting this together for our students. Way to go!

It was an honor to work alongside SD students, families, staff members, former students, and community members this morning packing sandbags. I am proud to live in and be part of a community that knows how to rally! - Supt. Ross #SDProud #SDStrong

The featured staff member of the week is Ms. Kathy Scudder. She is a proud graduate of Aurora High School! After high school, Ms. Scudder worked at Tandy’s Clothing Store before becoming a stay-at-home mom. When her children began attending school, she started driving a bus for the Lattires who contract with South Dearborn. She has done that for the past 33 years. 16 years ago, Ms. Scudder became a paraprofessional at Aurora Elementary School. Sadly, she will be retiring this year from her role as a paraprofessional, but she still plans to drive her bus route.
Ms. Scudder has been blessed with three daughters who have given her five grandchildren. She has lived in Aurora her whole life and she is proud of that. For fun, Ms. Scudder enjoys spending time with her family, attending sporting events (especially the Indiana University Hoosiers, Cincinnati Reds, and Cincinnati Bengals), and attending concerts. A fun fact about Ms. Scudder, stylistically, is she prefers to match—her outfits are always a fully matching ensemble. She likes to match so much that she refuses to participate in mismatch spirit days. Ms. Scudder loves working with her students.
We are so blessed to have her serving our students for over three decades!

In Mrs. Smith’s class at South Dearborn High School, students stepped into the role of genetic detectives! Through in-depth research on genetic disorders, they explored how DNA shapes traits and influences inheritance. They then brought their findings to life through engaging presentations, sharpening both their scientific knowledge and public speaking skills. Who knows? We may have future scientists, doctors, or educators in the making!

In Mrs. Bulach’s fifth-grade class at Manchester Elementary School, history and science took on a creative twist with Bottle Buddies! Students dove into research on a famous historical figure or scientist, and then transformed an ordinary bottle into a miniature version of their chosen person. Bringing the past to life, they crafted detailed biographies highlighting each figure’s contributions and impact. It was history, science, and creativity rolled into one unforgettable learning experience!

After showing incredible focus and dedication during IREAD testing, Mrs. Gainor’s 2nd-grade students at Aurora Elementary took a well-earned break to celebrate March Madness—school-style! The excitement began with a “Book Bracket” competition, where students put their critical thinking to the test. Just like analyzing a basketball game, they compared and debated their favorite books, proving that reading and strategy go hand in hand! Next, creativity took center court as students designed their own jerseys, complete with bold colors and imaginative team logos, showcasing both individuality and team spirit. Finally, the students put their engineering skills to work! Using limited supplies, they built miniature basketball hoops and worked together to score points. This hands-on challenge blended teamwork, problem-solving, and plenty of fun—making for a slam-dunk day of learning! 🏀
