Thanks for your support of our carnival last week! We raised close to $1,500 for our playground. It was so great to see new and returning families having fun ... especially on our new climber!
This Thursday, if you are interested in helping to paint stencils on our playground, please come to the school at 9:00 a.m. You can just come around to the back. We will have the materials needed for painting.
We will be mailing postcards on Tuesday to let you know your child's homeroom teacher. Please contact the school office if you have not received the postcard by this Thursday.
The excellent progress of Steenrod's new playground is on page 1 of today's Intelligencer!!! Check it out!!

We are so excited about our "Come and Play" Carnival event this Wednesday, August 10 from 5:00-8:00. We have had some difficulty with the online payment system; you will be able to pay the evening of the event. This is a fundraiser for our playground. For $15 per family, you will get 15 tickets that can be used at our carnival games - from simple duck ponds to the dunk tank, or you can use the tickets to purchase pizza and bottled water. You will be able to buy more tickets to play games all evening, and we will have some free activities as well, such as a sprinkler, water balloons and the Fun-Raiser mobile playground, along with our brand new rope climber! In addition to our carnival offerings, you can purchase treats from Snobiz and the Southpaw Eatz food truck. **PLEASE SIGN UP SO THAT WE CAN HAVE ENOUGH SUPPLIES ON HAND! To register, use the link - Carnival Sign Up
Of course, all of this fun is pending weather! If we cancel, I will do a call out on Wednesday before noon.
We have postponed the stencil painting on the playground - I'll notify everyone when it is rescheduled.
If you have not already done so, please download the apptegy app to your phone or tablet to keep up to date on everything happening in Ohio County Schools! We will continue to send call-outs and post on Facebook, but this gives you another method to keep in the loop!
As we gear up for back to school, you can count on more evening phone calls. Please contact me at the school office if you have questions, or send me an email, mdietric@k12.wv.us.
Bus Schedules can be found on the Ohio County Schools Website, https://www.boe.ohio.k12.wv.us/page/bus-schedules
