Mr. DiSanto’s 2nd-grade class researched topics of interest, created slide decks, and some chose to confidently present to their classmates and administrators, building valuable professional skills in public speaking, organization, and presentation design along the way. Students showed great bravery during their presentations, and classmates even came up to stand beside and support one another if anyone felt nervous, a true display of friendship and encouragement.
Our 10th graders visited Wayne Technical and Career Center to explore hands-on programs available to them in their junior and senior years. Students learned about opportunities in cosmetology, culinary arts, health careers, electrical trades, animal science, computer programming, heavy equipment repair and operation, and so much more. Thank you to Mrs. Kuhn and Mrs. Brooks for coordinating this Career Pathways Series during CTE Month and helping students explore their future opportunities.
Our elementary PE students brought the Olympic spirit to life through interactive stations inspired by bobsled and curling, working together to build teamwork, communication, and important athletic skills while practicing collaboration and sportsmanship along the way.
Our Middle and High School students were celebrated for their hard work and dedication during the second marking period with a well-deserved ice cream social. Students earning High Honor Roll, Honor Roll, and Merit Roll enjoyed a sweet treat while being recognized for their academic achievements. We are proud of their commitment to excellence and the effort they put in each and every day.
Lyons Elementary proudly welcomed 17 administrators from surrounding districts to observe our UPK classrooms after Collaborative Classroom selected us as a pilot site for a new ELA curriculum. Our teachers are leading this important work, building and assessing early literacy skills to prepare students for kindergarten and showcasing the meaningful impact already taking place in our classrooms.
The Lyons Elementary PTA spread the love this Valentine’s Day with their door-to-door “snack cart” service, visiting classrooms with decorated carts filled with treats for our teachers. This thoughtful surprise was a wonderful way to show appreciation and remind our staff how valued they are each and every day.
Our 8th graders are diving into the causes of World War I by reading, annotating, and taking thoughtful notes on a focused text. They wrapped up the lesson by completing graphic organizers to break down the major causes, strengthening their critical thinking and historical analysis skills along the way.
Mrs. Dorrington’s 1st graders added a little extra fun to their reading time by turning it into a performance! Students worked in groups to bring their stories to life, putting on plays for one another and showing off their creativity, expression, and love for acting.
Miss Hill’s kindergarteners celebrated the 100th day of school in style, dressing up to mark this exciting milestone. It was a fun and festive way to celebrate 100 days of learning, growing, and making memories together.
Our middle school math brought both heart and excitement to class this Valentine’s Day. Students enjoyed festive treats and took part in an engaging math mystery, solving equations to uncover who “stole” the cupcakes. It was a fun and memorable way to strengthen math skills while celebrating the holiday together.
