Today kicked off Mr. Colopy's Whitetail Deer Project. This project consists of 4 days of hands on learning for his Zoology/Anatomy classes. The week will consist of the following
Day 1: Field Dressing/Disection of the deer. This includes teaching of how the respiratory, digestive, and reproductive systems function. Students are taught how to estimate the age of a deer by using the teeth of the animal.
Day 2: Skinning/De-boning. Students will remove the hide and de-bone the meat. They will learn how to best remove the meat in order to get it ready for processing.
Day 3: Students will process the meat into ground burger, bratwurst and steaks.
Day 4: Students will be grouped and will cook the food that they have processed over the past 3 days. Students and faculty will be served as the process becomes complete.
Our goal for this project is to give students the opportunity to explore and understand how their food is processed while being given the opportunity to learn hands on. We will continue to post daily updates through Thursday of this week.
Important information for all families. Please take a look

It’s Mr. England’s turn as Adena Middle School students get a chance to tape their principal to the wall! The Junior National Honor Society held a fundraiser to benefit St. Jude’s Hospital by selling strips of tape for $1.00. It appears that many students were in the spirit of giving today. Thanks for your support and cooperation Mr. England!
We have received a $500.00 donation from a private citizen who wishes to be anonymous that will provide food baskets for Adena students who need a little extra help over the break. Thanks to this fund we have some students who will not have to find a way to get meals while school is closed. Thank you so much to a very kind couple who have made a huge difference in the lives of several children! Again, what an amazing place where the “village” steps in to meet the needs of our children. #Warrior Grattitude
Adena High School students donated to the Adena National Junior Honor Society’s campaign to benefit St Jude’s Childrens Hospital. This is the longest Mr. Jones has been still in a long, long time! Thanks for being a great sport Mr. Jones.
Adena Local Schools would like to sincerely thank area resident and local business owner Mark Smith. Mark has paid off every current lunch charge for the entire school district! We are truly thankful for your generosity during the Holidays. Students will begin 2020 clear of any lunch debt. What a great place to live and grow up in- Adena is truly blessed!
Adena Schools just received a surprise gift of $2,000.00 dollars from Walmart's distribution center. Each year the corporate office does a fundraiser challenge with their drivers over a 2-week period which is then gifted to a school. Thanks Walmart! We will place this money in the PBIS fund which directly benefits students through funding rewards and incentives for good behavior throughout the building and on the buses!
As a part of their leadership project, sixth grade students hosted a party where they met their first grade pen pal buddies. Each sixth grader presented their new friend with a book and spent time reading with them and sharing a snack.- Mrs. Rowe
If we happen to have a delay tomorrow, 12/17/19, our movie trip will be postponed until a later date. Also only students who have an emergency medical form on file will be permitted to go to the movies.
Kayla Grooms came to my office in early November inquiring about running a toy drive. I told her she would have to plan it out and then come get approval. Kayla made the plan, set the dates, made the signs, and made announcements to promote the toy drive. In the end, she collected 57 toys and will now make an impact on many children during this season. I'm very proud of the leadership she showed during this project. Great job, Kayla!
