Check out this week's "Creek Fact Friday!" Can you name these three teachers and their significance to the district? 🧡 🖤 🧡 🖤 🧡 Spoiler Alert! The image features Edward Zink, Frank Zink, and Otto Zink! Edward's legacy is honored through the naming of the Beavercreek High School Fieldhouse, Frank's in the naming of the football stadium, and Otto's name graces the gym at Ferguson Hall. The contributions of Ed, Frank, and Otto have left an indelible mark on our district. Yet, it's important to recognize that the entire Zink family has also made significant contributions. 🧡🖤 For example, the tree outside the athletic main office is in memory of the late Anton Zink. Also, Anton’s wife, Becky, has kept the scorebook for our basketball teams for 38 seasons now! Do you have a favorite Zink memory? Let us know in the comments!

Ankeney and Coy students in the Medical Detectives class were treated to a presentation from High School Biomedical teacher Molly Wavra and phlebotomist Moriah Kendall-Joy. Students saw and interacted with a blood draw, learned about blood types, determined the blood type of a mystery person, discovered the difficulties of the shape of the cells of people with sickle cell anemia, saw their heartbeat on a screen, took their temperature, and pumped up a set of actual lungs. Students also learned about several professions related to the medical field, including phlebotomist. While interacting with all the activities, students learned about the new biomedical pathway offered for 9th-12th grade Beavercreek High School students. Freshmen interested in the biomedical field are encouraged to sign up for the first-year class Principles of Biomedical Science. There are four classes in the biomedical pathway, and any student who completes three classes with a C or higher is eligible for a $3,000 scholarship to Sinclar for any classes. Students also complete a graduation requirement by participating in the pathway. Thank you, Molly Wavra and Moriah Kendall-Joy, for spending the day with our students at Coy and Ankeny!

"It's so much fun to step away from academics for a day, do something fun, and create special memories. Outside the classroom, Sarah enjoys spending time with her family and friends, hanging out with her puppy, Henry, listening to audiobooks, and attending Bengals' games.
