Cultivating Connections at the Supper Club
Select Wayne High School students recently had the opportunity to connect with community mentors over a meal at the recent Supper Club event. This worthwhile event is new to Wayne and allows students a chance to practice their social skills when interacting with adults, as well as an opportunity to network and form ongoing relationships with members of our community.
The high school plans to host quarterly Supper Club events next year, with a new group of students and community members at each event. Students are nominated by their teachers based on their leadership qualities. The club also serves to increase engagement with our community members and creates opportunities for adults to get more actively involved within our district.

Inspiring Imaginations Through Reading and Exploration at Charles Huber
The second-grade students at Charles Huber have been using their love of books to expand their imaginations and create opportunities for new adventures. They recently immersed themselves in the story of Flat Stanley by Jeff Brown. The book series features a boy named Stanley, who was accidentally flattened when a bulletin board fell on him while asleep in his bed. The children enjoyed reading about Stanley’s fun adventures and even created more adventures for him to go on over Spring Break.
These students also celebrated Read Across America week by engaging with guest readers, including the family members of our dedicated teaching staff, and participating in Literacy Night, where they had the opportunity to interact with Huber Heights Police Division’s own Officer Lambert, author of the children’s book “A Fun Week at the Police Department.”
Finally, our second graders had a blast during a recent field trip to Aullwood, where they participated in the Birds of Prey program. The students engaged in hands-on exploration by dissecting owl pellets and learned about Ohio's hawks and owls and the importance of these predators in our ecosystems.
Rushmore Celebrates Military-Connected Families in Style
Rushmore students and teachers recently had a great time coming together to honor our military families! During the district-wide spirit week, everyone was excited to celebrate by dressing up in different clothing themes each day. But it wasn't just about clothes; students also worked on special projects to show how much they appreciate their friends, classmates, and families that are connected to the military.
Valley Forge Students Enjoy Farm Life
Earlier this year, Valley Forge second graders had an opportunity to connect their lessons on farm life, habitats, and plants to real life during a fun-filled trip to Learning Tree Farm. Students learned about various livestock animals, gardens, and herbs. They also went hiking and even got to take home a pumpkin!
In addition, students in Mrs. Anderson’s and Ms. Spradlin’s classrooms recently got to assist with hatching eggs donated by Happy Wife Farms. The students enjoyed tracking the chicken’s development inside the eggs and used candling to see the chicks moving inside the shell. Once hatched, the baby chicks spent a week in the classroom, where the students created birth certificates, practiced gentle holding, and sang and read to the beloved birds before returning them to Happy Wife Farms.
Kindergarteners Bloom During a Year of Growth and Achievement
Studebaker Preschool Salutes Military Families with Purple Star Spirit Week
Studebaker students and staff alike went all out to celebrate the Month of the Military Child by participating in the recent district-wide military family spirit week. Paying tribute to the strength and sacrifices of military families, the students and staff delighted in showing their patriotism with the attire theme of the day, which included camouflage and the traditional red, white, and blue.
Overall, this special week not only honored military families but also brought everyone at Studebaker Preschool closer together, no matter their background.
