South Dearborn High School students in Ms. Andrew's Advanced Life Science: Foods class learned about the similarities and differences of cooking with different kinds of eggs. Students were able to cook their eggs the way they desired including soft boiled, hard boiled, scrambled, fried, over easy, and more. However, students were randomly assigned to cook with a chicken egg, duck egg, or quail egg. The students enjoyed being able to hone their egg cooking skills and to discover the difference between the different kinds of eggs! 🍳
We are grateful for the grant we received from Premier Companies that made this lab and many more possible! Because of their generous support, we have been able to update our Life Science Lab with new cookware, utensils, knives, cutting boards, and so much more!

Mrs. Kleindienst’s kindergarten class at Dillsboro Elementary School was captivated by Lucille Colandro's classic tale of "The Old Lady Who Swallowed a Bat!" After they listened to the story, they practiced their recall, sequencing, and comprehension skills as they were asked to retell the story from start to finish.

The featured staff member of the week is Ms. Jen Warren. Ms. Warren graduated from Felicity Franklin High School in Felicity, OH. She earned an associate’s degree at the University of Cincinnati in early childhood education. Her bachelor’s degree was earned at Northern Kentucky University in elementary education. This is her twelfth year at South Dearborn Community School Corporation. She started at Aurora Elementary School teaching fifth grade. After one year, she transferred to Manchester Elementary School, where she taught fifth grade for nine years. Currently, she is in her second year of teaching third grade at Manchester Elementary School. Ms. Warren and her boyfriend have been together for 17 years. They love their cat who is sixteen years old. Ms. Warren enjoys spending time with her friends and family, hiking, camping, going to Lake Cumberland, skiing, and enjoying the outdoors. Indiana has a Hoosier Heritage Pin that can be acquired when you visit 35 state parks, and she is trying to get a pin from each of those parks. A fun fact about Ms. Warren is that she is a creative person and enjoys learning new crafts. This summer, she learned how to make sourdough bread. Also, her favorite TV show is Friends. We are so grateful for her service and dedication to our Red Devils and Shiners! #SuccessDriven #GrowExcelAchieve

Art intersected with geometry in Mr. Vermilion’s South Dearborn High School math class as students plotted coordinates to create a pilgrim hat on a graph just in time for harvest season!

It was an honor to attend and speak at the DES PTO Meeting this evening. They even gave me this awesome DES Bulldogs ornament! - Supt. Ross

On Monday I was able to attend the Veteran’s Day Programs at SDMS & SDHS. It was great to honor and celebrate our veterans. Special thanks to PG Gentrup for being our guest speaker. - Supt. Ross

Ms. Warren’s Manchester Elementary School students are engaged in a dynamic weather-focused PLTW unit! Students are going hands-on in their learning outside as they use various instruments including anemometers and thermometers to measure wind speed and direction, temperature, and precipitation levels. They will continue to collect data on their measurements for five weeks as they continue to learn more about meteorology! ☁️

Recently, eighth grade South Dearborn Middle School students in Ms. Gabbard's Medical Detective class honed their interviewing skills! Students created their own resume and received interview advice from Mrs. Hensley and Mrs. Miller. Students also participated in an interview role-play where they practiced these skills with their classmates by taking turns as the hiring manager and the job applicant. This hands-on approach not only helped students develop effective communication techniques, but it also prepared them for real-world scenarios they will encounter as they enter the workforce in their near future.

Today, we honor the courage, commitment, and sacrifice of those who have served. Thank you, Veterans, for protecting our freedom!

Thank you veterans! I made it to the MES program and the end of the AES program. Both programs represented our community and showed our appreciation to the veterans well. 🇺🇸 - Supt. Ross

I attended the DES Veteran’s Day Program on Friday. Students and staff did an amazing job honoring our veterans! 🇺🇸 - Supt. Ross
