In Ms. Warren’s third-grade class at Manchester Elementary School, students partnered up to sort and review parts of speech—nouns, verbs, adjectives, and more—bringing grammar to life with hands-on practice and a splash of color.

I attended the boys golf match last night, which also happened to be Senior Night. It was great to see the team compete and our seniors honored. Coach Rogers did a great job of not only recognizing their athletic contributions, but also how great they are as students and people. His words were very touching! ⛳️ - Supt. Ross #GoKnights!

For Mental Health Awareness Month, Aurora Elementary School did a door decorating contest. I was given the prestigious honor of judging the contest and naming the winners. I have included photos of all the doors because they were all so good and highlighted the message so well!
The four winners were:
Mrs. Kooper Lane (Kindergarten)
Mrs. Jessica McBroom (1st grade)
Mrs. Sheri Detmer (4th grade)
Mrs. Jessica Cavana (Resource)
Congratulations winners and well done to all!
I visited the lunch room after I had finished judging. There was a table lobbying hard for me to pick them as the second place winner. They really wanted that popsicle party LOL. 😂

The featured staff member of the week is Mr. Jeremy Baney. Mr. Baney is a graduate of Linton Stockton High School, located in Linton, Indiana. After high school, he attended Indiana State University, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in art education. He later completed his master’s degree in education from Indiana Wesleyan University. Mr. Baney has been in education for 26½ years (all at South Dearborn), beginning his career in December of 1999. Over the years, he has coached both cross country (27 years) and track (29 years), showing his dedication to students both inside and outside the classroom. Mr. Baney has been married for 29 years—congratulations! When he’s not teaching or coaching, he enjoys running and cycling, creating his own artwork, working in the yard, and watching movies. Some of his favorites include “Cinderella Man,” “Super 8,” “Citizen Kane,” and “Star Wars.” A fun fact about Mr. Baney is that he, his wife, siblings, and siblings’ spouses were all born in different states! We are so thankful to have Mr. Baney sharing his passion, talent, and energy with our school community! #SuccessDriven #GrowExcelAchieve

After learning about binary code on Monday, Maggie Terrill from Mrs. Cotton’s fourth-grade class at Manchester Elementary School had an idea—she asked if she could leave a coded message for her classmates to solve the next morning. When students arrived Tuesday, they were greeted with her coded message written in binary. The class worked together to decode her message which read: "good morning class." (The class has only practiced lowercase binary letters so far.)
