Scholarship Recipients
The Warren High Schools’ Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame Committee of the Warren City Schools’ Foundation has named these students 2024 scholarship recipients:
Warren City Schools’ Annual Art Show is set for Friday, April 26, 2024, inside the large gym at Warren G. Harding High School. Hours are 5 to 7 p.m., with an awards ceremony at 6 p.m.
Warren City Schools will prepare students for the 2024 solar eclipse with a variety of activities centered around the April 8 historic event.
For starters, all students and staff will receive a complimentary pair of eclipse glasses so they can watch the sky safely as the moon passes between the earth and the sun.
Parts of the Mahoning Valley are in the path of totality, with Trumbull County in the direct line of passage.
The district, in anticipation of the solar eclipse, announced school will be dismissed two hours early on Monday, April 8.
But before they leave for the day, students will have a variety of opportunities to learn as much as possible about the eclipse. Activities will vary based on the students’ grade bands/pods.
HERE ARE SOME HIGHLIGHTS
Grades 3-8: Students will use ultraviolet beads to discover why we wear eclipse glasses during an eclipse.
Grade K-2: Students will make models of an eclipse to understand the pattern of the moon, earth, and sun.
HIGH SCHOOL GRADE LEVELS: Using the PASCO wireless weather sensor and the SPARKvue app, Suzette Jackson, Warren City Schools Assistant Curriculum Director, Grades 6-12, will gather data during the eclipse, including temperature, humidity, illuminance (the amount of light spreading over a given surface), and wind speed. At a later time, high school students will take the qualitative data, such as the darkness and the cooler temperature that they experience during the eclipse, and connect it to the quantitative data the weather sensor will gather.
ALL GRADE LEVELS: Students will make a pinhole projector that they can take home and use during the eclipse to indirectly see the moon covering the sun.
Prior to April 8, students will receive literature to take home so they can learn more about the eclipse over spring break.
Students in grades K-2 will read the book Total Solar Eclipse: A Stellar Friendship Story.
Grade 3-5 students will read the book Eclipses.
About the Monday, April 8, 2024, Solar Eclipse:
Eclipse start: 1:59 p.m.
Totality: 3:13 p.m., with maximum effect at 3:15 p.m.

The United Way of Trumbull County has partnered with each Warren City Schools PK-8 School – Jefferson, Lincoln, McGuffey and Willard – to provide guest readers.
The special guests visit classrooms and support the school district’s Reading Raider Program. The special guests are visiting one school, one day each week.

Students at the Jefferson PK-8 School learned about different genres during a recent book tasting event.
The family event helped expose students to different kinds of books. Students and their families spent some time at the “Book Cafe” where they “sampled” various books on the “menus” they had in hand.
Parents helped their children retell the story in the books they received for the day through the WCS’ Reading Raider Program.
Before families left, they also got to sample a strawberry banana smoothie and got the simple 3-ingredient recipe to take home. All of this while wearing a chef hat of course! Go Readers!
The students learned about sled dogs and the supplies and tools mushers use when driving sled dogs. The highlight of the visit came when Siberian Husky Flint entered the gymnasium, where the presentation was held. Students had the opportunity to pet Flint and see a sled dog up close.
Additionally, as their book for the day through the Reading Raider program, students received “Balto,” a book about the Alaskan Husky that achieved fame when he led a team of sled dogs driven by Gunnar Kaasen on the final leg of the 1925 serum run to Nome, in which diphtheria antitoxin was transported using sled dogs.
Later, Balto lived the Cleveland Zoo until his death on March 14, 1933, at the age of 14. He body remains on display at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History.
