Beavercreek High School Network students recently finished going to all the 3rd and 4th grade classrooms throughout the district to teach students about the dangers of smoking and vaping. #BHSNetwork
Coy and Ankeney's school nurses, Ms. Grimm and Ms. Newport, recently visited Mrs. Bisignani's Medical Detective classes to share their knowledge about their profession and day-to-day experiences.
The students were taught about HIPAA and how they take vital signs. Then, the students learned how to take blood pressure manually, listening to the blood pumping through the artery with a stethoscope.
Parkwood Student Council would like to thank everyone for their support for the Egg-stravaganza fundraiser! Every egg sold contributed to the success of the event. Thanks to your generosity, Parkwood raised over $2,000 to fund the construction of their outdoor classroom.

All March long, Mr. Shaw's class at Shaw Elementary has been doing their own version of March Madness, but with picture books. They started off with 16 different books in eight different categories, including Biography, Sports, and SEL.
After we read both books in each category, we began voting and using a bracket to highlight our favorite books. We continued voting daily until we were down to two final books: For the Right to Learn: Malala Yousafzai's Story by Rebecca Ann Langtson-George and Escargot by Dashka Slater.
The winner was announced on the last day of school before spring break. Ultimately, the students decided that the best book was For the Right to Learn: Malala Yousafzai's Story by Rebecca Ann Langtson-George. This nonfiction biography of Malala Yousafzai, who helped fight for education for all in Pakistan, was the winner.
The students had a blast reading the different types of stories and voting for their favorites!
