It's Teacher of the Year and Service Personnel of the Year recognition time!
Every year, our staff members nominate one of their own to celebrate and thank for their hard work and dedication to education. At Steenrod, it is difficult to choose just ONE outstanding person to recognize in each category, but these two rose to the top.
Mrs. Lindsey Perry has been teaching at Steenrod as a 3rd grade teacher for over 10 years. She is focused on developing her skills as a lifelong learner as she recently completed her Masters Degree in Education. Her skills as a thorough educator are evident as she develops lessons that engage students and dive deep into the standards. Mrs. Perry is also wholly committed to the Steenrod community as she serves on several school committees and volunteers for family engagement events.
Ms. Charity Parsons has been serving as an Instructional Aide at Steenrod for 6 years, working as a Kindergarten aide for 3 years. Ms. Charity brings an infectious joy and positive attitude to the school, as well as a willingness to help wherever she is needed.
We are grateful to these two ladies for sharing their passion for education with our students!
STEAM Night was a fantastic event! We were Scientists, Techies, Engineers, Artists and Mathematicians! Thank you to ALL of our staff who helped, along with OCS Innovation and West Liberty University. We had an amazing night!
We've got a busy week! We hope to see you on Wednesday for our STEAM Night. We'll start with a brief PTA meeting in the gym followed by a musical performance by K-3rd grade, and then the activities will begin! You can CHOOSE TO BE a Scientist, Techie, Engineer, Artist and Mathematician!
Saturday Scholars was a huge success with over 100 students attending! Thank you PTA, especially our coordinator, Lewis Honaker, and all of our parent, teacher and community volunteers!
Congratulations to these authors! McKenna and Liam are both recognized as winners of the Ohio County Schools Young Writers Contest! McKenna won 1st place and Liam won 3rd! We are so proud of them and grateful to Ms. Hohman for encouraging them to share their creative talents.
We’d love your input and help, especially if you have younger children who will attend Steenrod!
If you can’t make the meeting, but would like to help with the fundraising efforts, please keep an eye on our Social Media Cardinals in Motion Facebook page!
This week, our 3rd-5th Grade students will take the Writing portion of the General Summative Assessment. Please continue to send seasonal outerwear with your children, and mark their names on the tags! We play outside for recess whenever the weather cooperates. Also, if you have extra sweatpants that your child has outgrown, please send them in. Tumbles in wet grass have depleted our supply of extras!
Check out the format of the assessment by taking a practice test with your child.

Each February, Steenrod celebrates "Kind Cardinals" month. We have daily challenges and at the end of the month, classmates anonymously select one boy and one girl in their room as the student who is always kind. The vote is super close in so many classrooms, some even resulting in a tie! We are so proud of these students who were recognized by their classmates!
