Green Elementary students were very busy during the 2008-2009 school year. The third, fourth and
GREEN ELEMENTARY
fifth grade students demonstrated what they had learned on the annual spring exams. The students and staff also are very proud of the program “Do Your Best”. This program provides incentives and rewards for students who get “caught” doing their best. Students helped raise money for the PTO by helping with several fundraisers. The money raised helped to purchase equipment for the new building. All students were given the opportunity to participate in at least one field trip, including visits to Slate Run State Park, Lind’s Fruit Farm and COSI. The students also had holiday parties at school throughout the school year. In the spring, all students had the opportunity to perform for their families in the areas of folk music and dance. Also held in the spring was the annual Spring Carnival. Students and their families enjoyed great food and fun while playing games and earning prizes. The PTO is a great asset to our building. They held three bookfairs throughout the year, which provided the students and their families an opportunity to purchase books and many other reading items. The PTO provided an inexpensive opportunity for students to purchase gifts for their families during the holidays. The PTO also sponsored the Fall Craft Show. Our building had many plays, puppet shows, demonstrations and magician’s come to expose the students to a variety of cultural development opportunities.

CHIEFTAIN ELEMENTARY
Chieftain Elementary was alive with many activities throughout the 2008-09 school year. Students worked hard on their academic achievement, perfect attendance and meeting their behavior and accelerated reader goals. The awards for academic achievement and accelerated reader almost tripled from the first to the final grading period showing the hard work our students put into their studies. Our students learned about bus safety and fire safety. They also learned about proper nutrition and enjoyed programs on self-esteem and how to deal with strangers. The students collected $900.00 for Pennies for Patients to support leukemia research. Throughout the year the PTO sponsored several events including movie nights, Secret Santa, the BMX Show, the annual carnival, and provided funds for several student assemblies, field trip buses, admission fees, book fairs, and lots more! The Before/After Care program sponsored a Family Night for the students and their families. Thank you PTO and Before/After Care for these opportunities! Chieftain Student Council also provided support throughout the year by offering school supplies for sale, giving treats during testing and holidays, organizing activities during Red Ribbon Week, and taking responsibility for the school’s recycling program.

LOGAN-HOCKING MIDDLE SCHOOL
The 2008-2009 school year at the Logan-Hocking and success.
Middle School was a year full of changes
Academically, according to our school report card, we received greater than one year of progress designation on our Value-Added Measure and for the second year in a row our school designation was Effective having met eight of our ten indicators. We continue to work hard at making this an excellent school and we feel certain that this will happen soon. The biggest news of all is that the Middle School has added over 17 classrooms and will be home to Grades Five through Eight in the 2009-2010 school year. This will give us a population of nearly 1,200 students making us one of the two largest schools in the area. Other highlights include: Pam Dotson was the Walmart Teacher of the Year; Spelling Bee Champion for 2009 was AJ Hauck; Successfully completed construction of the new addition; Science Olympiad Team placed 7th out 15 teams at the Regional; Math Counts Team finished 2nd at the Athens Regional; and Archery Team Qualified and participated in Nationals.
