Yesterday, in Mrs. Ingle’s class, I participated in “Pringle Ringle”. Students had 20 minutes to complete a free standing ring using as few Pringles as possible. I have to say it’s harder than it looks! - Supt. Ross #SuccessDriven #GrowExcelAchieve

The featured staff member of the week is Mrs. Thelma Wingate. Mrs. Wingate proudly attended Dillsboro High School. She started working for South Dearborn Community Schools in 1978 as a custodian at the high school. For the last 29 years, she has been working at Dillsboro Elementary School. She has worked for South Dearborn for 46 years in total. Mrs. Wingate is married and has three daughters and four grandchildren. All of her children have graduated from South Dearborn and all of her grand children are currently attending South Dearborn! Mrs. Wingate enjoys spending time with her family, gardening, going out to eat, bowling, and working (yes - she says work is fun!). A fun fact about Mrs. Wingate is that she attended the Barbizon Modeling and Acting School when she was younger. She loves her school, students, and co-workers - they are like family to her. We are so blessed to have had her serving our Knights and Bulldogs for nearly five decades - wow! #SuccessDriven #GrowExcelAchieve

Students in Mrs. Grady’s second grade classroom at Aurora Elementary School recently learned about tall tales in their classroom. One of their favorite tall tales they enjoyed reading was “Johnny Appleseed.” Students read about Johnny Appleseed, worked on fact and opinion statements dealing with Johnny Appleseed, made a time line of his life, and practiced their graphing skills with the results of a taste test of green, red, and yellow apples.

Last week, Mrs. Miller had to be out of town so I stepped in to be the administrator at the DES Family Night. It was awesome interacting with the students, families, and staff. It was a great night and I was honored to be a part of it! - Supt. Ross #SuccessDriven #GrowExcelAchieve

I really appreciate Chief Jeff Lane and the Aurora Fire Department coming to Aurora Elementary School to help teach our students about fire prevention. Of course we had to see the trucks and get our picture taken with them. I even snuck into a photo. They wouldn’t let me drive the truck though 🤣 🚒 Thank you for all you do in the community and for supporting the students of South Dearborn! - Supt. Ross #SuccessDriven #GrowExcelAchieve

I spent some time this morning at the Clearing House in Aurora with these awesome. This group gets together every Wednesday and packs take home meals for the students of Dearborn County in need. I appreciate them letting me help this week. If you have the ability to donate some time or resources this is a great place to start! Thank you Aurora Clearing House for all that you do for SDCSC students! - Supt. Ross

Eighth grade South Dearborn Middle School students in Ms. Gabbard’s Medical Detective class dissected and labeled the lobes and cortexes of brains. Beyond performing the dissection to better understand the brain’s structure, the students also had to determine if the brain they were dissecting appeared to be displaying symptoms of various neurological diseases.

Dillsboro Elementary School students in Mrs. White’s kindergarten class learned all about the butterfly life cycle! The four stages of a butterfly’s life cycle are egg, larva (caterpillar), pupa (chrysalis), and adulthood. They also studied some fun facts about butterflies — did you know butterflies taste with their feet?

Ms. Lusby’s South Dearborn Middle School students are mapping out American history! They are creating detailed geographical and political maps of the 13 colonies, labeling key cities, landmarks and natural formations. After they finish making their maps, students will be able to better understand where historical figures lived and where historical events occurred.

Dear Manchester Elementary School Families, The power went out during arrival this morning. After talking with Duke Energy, we have been told that the outage could last until after 1:00 PM today. Unfortunately, we cannot have school without power. We realize you most likely don’t have power at home, so a traditional eLearning day would not be possible. Since we already have your student(s), we will be sending work home with them for the day so that they don’t miss a day of learning. Breakfast was already prepared this morning prior to the power outage. We are currently feeding the students breakfast, giving them work, and getting the buses routed back to school. We will start dismissal at 9:00 AM. We apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
