Yesterday, one of our high school art classes headed to SES to meet their 2nd grade artists!
Our Sculpture students had so much fun visiting Miss Painter’s 2nd grade classroom and talking with the students about the monsters they created together. They had cookies, Capri Suns, lots of laughs, and some really great art conversations!
It was so special to see our high school artists share the finished soft sculptures with the students whose drawings inspired them. A little collaboration in Miss Wade and Miss Painter's first year of teaching has turned into something awesome that everyone looks forward to!
A huge thank you to these teachers for providing a wonderful collaborative project between our HS and elementary students. Maybe those 2nd graders will be the sculptures one day!

🦑 Creating Classroom Magic Through Hands-On Learning!
Today at Selma Elementary, our third grade students brought their study of sea life to real life with a hands-on squid dissection!
As educators, we talk a lot about career-connected learning and helping students discover their passions. Too often, we think those experiences begin in middle school or high school. We would argue they should start much earlier.
Who knows? Maybe today’s experience sparked an interest in marine biology, veterinary medicine, or a career these students haven’t even considered yet.
Students can’t discover a passion for something they’ve never been exposed to.
A huge shoutout to our incredible third grade teachers and the families and volunteers who helped make this experience possible!
At Liberty-Perry, we like to discuss creating magic in our classrooms. Today was a perfect example of what that looks like!
You never know which classroom experience might change the direction of a child’s future! Check out the video featuring our Braves scientists!

Thank you to our WHS Student Council and FCA for organizing a truly special event to commemorate the tragic day, 25 years ago, Sept. 11, 2001.
Our students, with the help of our staff, organized a walk to commemorate the lives lost on Sept. 11, 2001. Students donated money and then walked in the gym to symbolize all the steps our first responders took as they moved in and out of the collapsing towers that terrible morning! After each lap, a student got a different name/picture of one of the victims who passed away on that tragic morning, 25 years ago.
Thank you to everyone who planned, participated, and donated! We were able to raise over $1,200 to donate to the Selma Fire Department!

At Wapahani High School, we believe a student’s ZIP code should never limit their opportunities.
Through the programs offered at Wapahani and our partnerships with the Muncie Area Career Center and RAZ-32, our students have access to nearly 30 graduation pathways. These opportunities span healthcare, skilled trades, agriculture, technology, education, business, public safety, and more.
This is what collaboration looks like in rural education.
No rural school can provide every pathway alone. But when schools share resources, expertise, facilities, and a commitment to students, we can create opportunities far beyond what any one district could offer independently.
We are incredibly grateful for our partners and proud of what we are building together. Our students deserve choices, meaningful experiences, and a clear path toward enrollment, employment, or enlistment.
Local schools. Shared opportunities. Bright futures.

Why Attendance Matters - Showing up matters more than ever.
Under Indiana’s new accountability model, regular attendance is a Student Success Indicator at every assessed grade level.
To earn credit, a student must be present for at least 94% of enrolled instructional days. In a traditional 180 day school year, missing more than approximately 10 days could prevent a student from meeting the attendance target.
Every absence represents missed instruction, missed relationships, and missed opportunities. We understand that illness and emergencies happen, but consistent attendance remains one of the strongest ways families can support student success.
