One of Ms. Tomblin's favorite end of the year activity is to make a Countdown to Summer Chain. Each student in class designs a link for the chain and they remove a link each day with her link being the last. When a students link is removed, they share their favorite memory of the school year that morning.

We are so proud of all of our students and how hard they worked on the state tests last week! Students were eligible to earn tickets for showing up each day, spending a specific amount of time on the test, and putting forth strong effort (based on the effort rubric). Students accepted the challenge and almost every student earned all their tickets. Students entered their tickets on Tuesday morning and the winners were announced Tuesday afternoon. Check out these ecstatic kids below.

The Student Council is hosting a food drive for our Groveport Food Pantry. The food drive will be held next week May 13-17, with items to be delivered on May 17. Listed below are items needed at the pantry. The class who brings in the most items will receive an ice cream sandwich party!
