Warren City Schools students helped area families celebrate National Adoption Day on Friday, November 22. 

Members of the newly formed Student Leadership club WGH Epsilon Rho joined Judge James A. Fredericka and his staff at Trumbull County Probate Court to provide a memorable experience to the families as the adoptions became official.  

The students, dressed to fit the Super Mario Bros. and friends theme, took pictures with the families and painted children’s faces.

Lincoln PK-8 students designed Mario-themed photo props for families to enjoy.

Two Trumbull County families officially adopted three children. Statewide, more than 5,000 adoptions were finalized on November 22.

Some of our preschool, kindergarten and 1st grade families recently gathered for an InsideU Adventure, based on understanding social-emotional learning (SEL). 

Families learned about a free, web based app, called InsideU, which was created by the Renee Crown Wellness Institute/ University of Colorado Boulder and inspired by Disney and Pixar’s Inside Out. 

Research shows that children who understand emotional responses do well academically. Families played games, made a Memory Ball, and discussed emotional triggers with their children. 

The event was held in multiple sessions on Thursday, Nov. 7, 2024, at Warren G. Harding High School.

Some of the students’ teachers, dressing for their parts, represented various emotions such as sadness, disgust, and joy.

The Health Department at Warren G. Harding High School recently prepared Warren City Schools’ 21st Century Community Learning teachers for emergencies they might encounter. 

The high school Health Department prepared and certified the teachers in first aid and CPR during the districtwide Nov. 5, 2024, Waiver/Professional Learning Day.

Jefferson PK-8 School hosted a family day for preschoolers on Oct. 30, 2024. Family members assisted their own children, along with other students, in a variety of activities.

Here are some pictures highlighting the morning:

THRIVE Mahoning Valley representatives on Wednesday, Oct. 30, 2024, presented an assembly at the Jefferson PK-8 School that focused non-renewable versus renewable energy and ways in which the students can fight climate change.

Representatives from OH WOW! The Roger & Gloria Jones Children’s Center for Science & Technology were also on hand to visit the school’s science rooms and assist the students with various activities designed to teach them about climate change.

Some students at the Lincoln PK-8 School are learning on-the-job lessons through a new work program.

The “Lincoln Leaders Work Program” is giving students in the cross-categorical classroom opportunities to build life skills and work skills, and  to incorporate  leadership  and work ethic within the school setting.

These students are learning new skills in a safe and inclusive environment while incorporating math, employment, and communication skills  through a work-to reward system. 

The work program encourages students to come to school. As  Lincoln  Leaders, students are a part of something bigger than themselves; they feel a sense of responsibility and belonging within their school environment.  When  students are responsible for the appearance of  their school  building, they take more pride in how it is being cared for.

To participate, each student filled out an application and interviewed  for potential school jobs. Once hired, they are expected to implement  their daily/weekly school jobs during a time agreed upon by teachers. After completing their jobs (monthly), the students earn Lincoln Leaders Bucks. They learn to be  responsible and maintain a budget. They spend their  earnings at the school store.

WARREN – Warren G. Harding High School’s Raider Football will kick off the 2024 tournament season on Friday, Nov, 1, at Mollenkopf Stadium during a first round home playoff game against Cleveland’s John Hay High School. 

The game is part of the 2024 OHSAA High School Football Playoff Brackets (Ohio) – Division 2 Region 5 tournament.

The Raiders, under the direction of Coach Matt Richardson, finished the regular season 7-3, earning a first round home playoff game vs. John Hay. 

Game time is 7 p.m., with gates opening at 6 p.m. Tickets, $11 for adults and $5 for students, can be purchased online at www.ohsaa.org/tickets. Additional surcharges will apply.  

Tickets will also be sold the night of the game at both Mollenkopf gates (cash only). 

Students in Mr. Johnson’s Senior Studio class at Warren G. Harding High School hope motorists get their “Don’t Be A Crashout!” message and be especially careful on the roads this winter.

The students are participating in this year’s ODOT Paint the Plow program. ODOT delivered snowplows to several area schools, including Harding, in September for students to paint.

The Paint the Plow program allows local schools and non-profit organizations to paint an ODOT snowplow blade with messages of snow and ice safety, state, school, or community pride, or patriotism, according to ODOT’s website. ODOT then picks up the plows in time to use them for snowy weather.
