Month: January 2024

The first round of the “Lincoln Level Up Math Event” at the Lincoln PK-8 School brought parents, grandparents and other relatives to the school on Wednesday, Jan. 24, 2024, for some quality learning time.

The first round was for 1st graders and their families. Additional sessions are planned for 2nd graders and kindergarteners.

Students in grades K-2 are helping the school host the series that has family members learning about critical curriculum standards and playing Math games with their children during their visits. 

Students in grades 3-5 at the Lincoln PK-8 School earned an afternoon of fun with their classmates by being respectful.

That’s what one of the Rs in the WARREN City Schools’ acronym stands for.

It’s was all part of their PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports) Board Game Incentive Day. Dozens of students gathered in the school’s cafetorium to participate.

Several Warren G. Harding High School students are the recipients of a “Governor’s Merit Scholarship.”

• Renn Rohrer
• Nathan James
• Caleb Gardner
• Mia Jones
• Camille Richardson
• Dobry Dupont
• Lauren McCormick
• Sarah Bell

The Governor’s Merit Scholarship program provides up to $5,000 a year in financial assistance to high school seniors who are identified as graduating in the top 5 percent of their class.

The scholarship launched in December 2023. Through the program, $20 million is to be disbursed the first year to qualifying high school students in Ohio.

Four Lincoln PK-8 School students recently rose to the top during the school’s 2024 Spelling Bees.

Eeliijah Zalewski, grade 5, won the grades 3-5 competition. Madeline Grayham, grade 4, was runner-up.

For the grades 6-8 spell off, Bryson Williams, grade 7, came in first place. Bryson Scott, grade 7, was runner-up.

When you have a dream or goal, and want to accomplish something, the most important thing you can do is take that first step, explained Warren G. Harding High School alum Dontrell Allen.

“Do something. Take that first picture. Create that first video. Start. If you set your mind to doing what you want, you can accomplish it,” Allen told Harding’s WSCN (Warren Student Communication Network) class.

Allen, who has millions of social media followers, took some time out of his busy schedule on Wednesday, Jan. 10, 2024, as a successful social media influencer to visit his alma mater and the class he spent so much time in as a student at Harding.

He and the students discussed creativity, social media opportunities, growth and influences.
