First grade Manchester Elementary School students in Mrs. Metz’s class read about firefighters in their early reader book. The class took turns reading it together by “popcorn reading,” with one student picking the next student to read the next part after they read a part aloud. After popcorn reading, they discussed the various roles in a firehouse and reflected on the dedication and hard work of firefighters.

The featured staff member of the week is Mrs. Michele Mitchell. She is a proud graduate of South Dearborn High School. After high school, she attended the College of Mount Saint Joseph’s, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in elementary and special education. Later, she earned her master’s degree in education from Ball State University. Mrs. Mitchell has taught at South Dearborn Community Schools for 35 years. Currently, she teaches special education at South Dearborn Middle School. She is now seeing third generation students (some of her current students are the grandchildren of former students). Mrs. Mitchell has been married for 35 years. Together, she and her husband have two children and two dogs. For fun, Mrs. Mitchell enjoys spending time with her family, camping, reading, making crafts (she even has a side business where she sells what she makes), and traveling (especially cruises). A fun fact about Mrs. Mitchell is that she was an extra in the movie “A Girl Named Sooner”. We are so blessed to have had Mrs. Mitchell serving our Squires for three and a half decades! #SuccessDriven #GrowExcelAchieve

Sixth grade students in Mr. Lee’s Dillsboro Elementary School class created their own 3D solar system models! While students were allowed to be creative in the materials they used, they needed to properly scale the size of their sun, planets, and Pluto. They also included in their solar system models the Main Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter and the Kuiper Belt that houses Pluto and lays far beyond Neptune. Stellar work, students! 🌟
