Kindergarten teachers with The Big Red Dog at the Kindergarten Transition Fair February 2, 2020.

On February 8, 2020, McGuffey Elementary Prep Bowl Team competed against Trumbull County Schools at the competition held at Lordstown High School.  Students competed in three rounds of competition .  We lost our first round of competition to Howland.  Our team rallied to beat Labrae in the second round.  In a close lightning round, McGuffey lost to Liberty.  Thanks for a great tournament.

Twenty one McGuffey students participated in the preliminary test for the National Geographic Bee.  This is a national competition to inspire students to learn more about the world.  Ten finalists were selected based upon test scores. They competed in the McGuffey National Geographic Bee on January 10th. The winner, Jayden Colbert was determined after several back and forth rounds with runner up Connor Roberts. Jayden will now take the state computer test to determine if he is one of the top one hundred to qualify for the state bee.

Sixth and seventh graders compete to see whose team can build the tallest free-standing tower out of spaghetti in their STEM classes.  The towers need to be able to support a marshmallow on top for ten seconds.

Our class is learning about pen pals, traditions and holidays using our Unique Learning Curriculum. We are now sending holiday cards to pen pals all over the United States from our class and getting some back in return. Spreading kindness from Ohio to others.
