Picture Pie
Students in Dr. Berry’s math class used the book "Picture Pie" as inspiration to make pictures entirely out of circles and fractions of circles. They then had to add fractions, find ratios to compare them, and convert them to decimals and percents!
Stone Soup
Third-grade students at Central read three versions of “Stone Soup,” compared and contrasted versions, and discussed the morals of kindness, generosity, and gratitude. Then, each student brought in an ingredient, and together, they created 'stone soup' and enjoyed a delicious meal at the end of the day to celebrate Thanksgiving.
Mr. Grist Self Portrait
The students at Eastern love when Mr. Grist stops in the art room, and Mrs. Haas seldom lets him leave without creating something with them. On his last visit, they drew self-portraits. Thanks for creating with them, Mr. Grist!
Lex Leadership Council
Lex Leadership Council members had an unforgettable experience at the MOESC Leadership Conference, where they heard an inspiring presentation from former Ohio State and NFL wide receiver, Roy Hall Jr.! Thank you, Mr. Hall, for motivating our future leaders!
Veterans Day Breakfast
Western Elementary proudly celebrated our military kids and their families on Friday with a breakfast in their honor. It was a special time to show gratitude for their service and the sacrifices they make for our country. We are so grateful for each of them!
Mock Election
Mrs. Coffman’s third-grade class at Central Elementary participated in a mock election during a social studies lesson on local government. Students ran for mayor or city council, and citizens voted. Town meetings were held to determine laws, building designs, and names. It was a great hands-on experience in civic engagement, giving students a real taste of local government in action!
National STEM Day
Ms. Blackstone and Mrs. Hughes celebrated National STEM Day by giving their 2nd and 3rd graders a unique milk-tasting STEM experience! Students tasted strawberry, regular, and chocolate milk, created and analyzed data graphs, and wrote opinion paragraphs. Both classes are also part of the Adopt A Cow program, making this hands-on learning extra special!
Glow Day Review
Dr. Berry’s sixth-grade class had a Glow Day review for their upcoming test! Students rotated through stations focused on dividing fractions, GCF, LCM, coordinate planes, division, and decimal operations. This review truly brightened their day!

Peanut Butter and Jelly
Mrs. Winner's kindergarten students celebrated learning the letters "p" and "j" by making and eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. They then wrote directions to help others enjoy this tasty treat!
Monster Match Project
Mrs. Duffey's fourth-grade classes at Eastern joined other fourth-graders across Ohio for a fun Monster Match project! Working in small groups, students drew creatures and wrote detailed directions using prepositions and vivid language for others to recreate their "monsters." They met on Zoom to share their creations and reflect on their teamwork and communication skills. Great job, fourth graders!
Pumpkin Fun!
Mrs. Winner’s kindergarteners at Western Elementary explored the pumpkin lifecycle and discovered what plants need to grow! They got hands-on learning with parts of a pumpkin and counted over 380 seeds by grouping them into tens. Such a fun, gooey way to learn!
Malabar Farm Visit
Lexington sixth graders enjoyed an exciting field day at Malabar Farm! They had a fantastic time exploring, learning, and making memories together.
Donated Dictionaries
Thank you, Rotary Club of Mansfield! The dictionaries you donated to several of our 3rd-grade classrooms at Central will be put to good use. Our students cannot wait to use them. Nothing is better than learning the meaning of a new word.
Abuelita's Secret
Mrs. Knapp’s class at Western had a fun week sharing treasures from home! After reading "Abuelita’s Secret," students brought in their own treasures and compared them to the main character Gabriel’s. They also wrote about why their treasures are special to them, just like Gabriel did in the story. It was the perfect blend of literature and real life!
Richland Newhope Donation
Thank you Allie P, Hannah B, (2020 Lexington graduate) and Richland Newhope! Your generous donation of school supplies to Central Elementary School was an unexpected and very much appreciated gift. Setting our students up for success has been made easier because of your kindness.
