🎉 Congratulations to Marilyn Bakenhaster, April’s Warrior Crate Winner! 🎉
Marilyn has dedicated 32 incredible years to teaching kindergarten at Adena. We are grateful for her hard work, passion, and unwavering commitment to our students. Thank you, Marilyn, for everything you do!
At the beginning of April we challenged the students to earn 100 positive referrals. We created this board to track our progress. The students stepped up in a big way. Yesterday, three spots remained to be filled. One student said, "We only have three spots left and it is only the middle of April. That is so exciting! We could easily double our goal." We liked her thoughts, so we are now aiming for 200. We placed the 100th picture today and have already began our next 100. The excitement that this board has created in the morning for the students has been so encouraging to watch. Students are cheering each other on when they are referred. Great things are happening here. Keep showing your respect, commitment and pride Adena Elementary! We are so proud of you!

📣 IMPORTANT REMINDER! 📣 State testing begins tomorrow for all middle school students and high school students taking English II. All students should report to school as usual. For students testing, please ensure they get a good night's sleep and come to school with their Chromebook fully charged and ready. Let's have a successful first week of testing!
You can still smile about losing your balloon when you make it a funny experiment. Dayvon's prediction is it will take 31 days for it to fall. Today is day 5. Stay tuned for our results. 😆
We Love Our Assistant Principals Mrs. Bluck & Mr. Dettwiller!
We are so lucky to have such amazing Assistant Principals! This #APWeek, we're celebrating their dedication, hard work, and the positive impact they have on our school community.
*Change in Sports Schedule*
Due to field conditions, tonight's baseball game has been postponed to tomorrow night and the softball game has been moved to Zane Trace this evening.
As students begin state testing this week, we encourage families to review these reminders and start each day with a positive mindset. Warriors, we've got this!
We are so proud of all of you! Please join us as we honor our B.L.U.E. leaders. Thank you for embodying respect, commitment, and pride. These kids are making our goal of 100 positive office referrals in the month of April very achievable.
