In Mrs. Bulach’s fifth-grade class at Manchester Elementary School, history and science took on a creative twist with Bottle Buddies! Students dove into research on a famous historical figure or scientist, and then transformed an ordinary bottle into a miniature version of their chosen person. Bringing the past to life, they crafted detailed biographies highlighting each figure’s contributions and impact. It was history, science, and creativity rolled into one unforgettable learning experience!

After showing incredible focus and dedication during IREAD testing, Mrs. Gainor's 2nd-grade students at Aurora Elementary took a well-earned break to celebrate March Madness—school-style!
The excitement began with a "Book Bracket" competition, where students put their critical thinking to the test. Just like analyzing a basketball game, they compared and debated their favorite books, proving that reading and strategy go hand in hand!
Next, creativity took center court as students designed their own jerseys, complete with bold colors and imaginative team logos, showcasing both individuality and team spirit.
Finally, the students put their engineering skills to work! Using limited supplies, they built miniature basketball hoops and worked together to score points. This hands-on challenge blended teamwork, problem-solving, and plenty of fun—making for a slam-dunk day of learning! 🏀

Before spring break, Mrs. Petty’s second-grade class at Aurora Elementary embraced the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day with a series of engaging, hands-on activities. After exploring the history of the holiday, students read "That's What Leprechauns" Do by Eve Bunting, sparking their imaginations as they crafted their own leprechauns and wrote about the adventures they’d have if they discovered a pot of gold. The festivities wrapped up with a fascinating science experiment, where students learned about the magic of color mixing—creating all the colors of the rainbow using just red, yellow, and blue! 🌈🍀

Manchester Elementary School’s robotics team showcased their resilience and determination at the Indiana Robotics State Competition this past Saturday at the Indiana State Fairgrounds.
The day started with unexpected challenges as the team found themselves in an unfamiliar position—falling behind due to three uncharacteristically low scores in the teamwork portion of the competition. However, they refused to let early setbacks define their performance. In the afternoon, the team regrouped and rallied, delivering four consecutive high scores to climb the rankings and secure a spot in the finals at 16th place. The momentum shift was fueled by a standout alliance score of 95 from the driving team of Gabe Cole, Grant Redwine, and Cora Pfaffl, who teamed up with a group from Columbus, Indiana. In the finals, the Shiners partnered with a team from Plainfield to earn a 10th place finish with a score of 56.
Their perseverance didn’t stop there. In the skills portion of the tournament—where driving and programming scores are combined—the Shiners finished 5th overall with a total score of 248, earning them their fourth consecutive trip to the VEX Robotics World Championship in Dallas, Texas. Their driving team, consisting of Grayson Merida, Lane Witte, and Cora Pfaffl, delivered a remarkable 184-point driving score, ranking as the third highest driving score at the tournament. Meanwhile, the programming team of Grayson Merida, Lane Witte, and Gabe Cole secured a high programming score of 64.
Following their gritty performance at state, the Shiners now rank 7th in Indiana, 109th in the nation, and 325th in the world. This hard-fought achievement was earned by the dedication and teamwork of sixth-grade students Gabe Cole, Grayson Merida, and Lane Witte, along with fourth-grade students Cora Pfaffl and Grant Redwine.
It was far from an easy road, but their ability to regroup, adapt, and rise to the challenge is exactly what makes this team special. Next stop—Worlds in Dallas!

In Mrs. Conner’s kindergarten class at Aurora Elementary School, students took a deep dive into weather words! They described the day's chilly, rainy weather using adjectives while breaking down syllables and practicing their spelling. Who needed a meteorologist when these future weather experts were on the job? ☔

Prior to Spring Break, we held our 10th Annual Staff Knight. Over 100 staff members attended and interacted with over 20 vendors and community partners. It is a great way to connect our staff with community and staff resources. Special thanks to Human Resources Director Charlotte McClure for organizing this event. We appreciate everyone who attended and participated in the event - especially all of the vendors!
