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.

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.

Volunteer from the Lincoln PK-8 School joined in on the holiday spirit on Sunday, Oct. 27, 2024, by participating in the Warren City Halloween Parade.

The team’s float was decked out with Halloween decorations, including pumpkins and ghosts.

The Jefferson PK-8 School continued the annual pumpkin carving tradition with kindergarten students and their guests on Monday, Oct. 28, 2024.  

The activity has become a yearly tradition of having parents, grandparents and other family members, visit the school and carve pumpkins with kindergarten students. 

Older siblings and student council members, as well as staff members, also helped. Students were able to take their pumpkins home at the end of the day.

Families of McGuffey PK-8 School 1st graders were invited to their children’s classrooms on Thursday, Oct. 24. 2024, for a closer look at some of what their students are experiencing at school.

Parents were given tools and helpful suggestions for ways to help their children learn to read and write new words in sound boxes and fun ways to learn high-frequency words.

Teachers also also explained how students can access their learning tools on Clever once they get a device at home.  Parents were invited to join their students for lunch in the cafeteria after the event.

More than 50 families were represented.   

Three Warren G. Harding High School students – Michael Whiddon, Channa Wells, Ameera Coleman – were among dozens from across the county who shadowed community leaders as part of this year’s Civic Day experience.

They spent time with Warren City Mayor Doug Franklin, Warren G. Harding High School Principal Dr. Janis L. Ulicny, and Warren City Schools Chief Academic Officer Wendy Hartzell, respectfully.

Civic Day, sponsored by the Trumbull County Educational Service Center, gives students opportunities to learn about civic responsibility and public service through first-hand experiences.

Through observation and job shadowing, approximately 100 students from 20 high schools across Trumbull County gain insight into the duties and responsibilities of a career as a public official or community leader.

Students in Warren G. Harding High School’s Culinary Program’s Make a Difference Campaign delivered 18 pans of Apple Crisp to Warren Family Mission.

The initial donation, made Thursday, Oct. 17, 2024, is part of the monthlong campaign. The four four students, Tyra Myrick, Nevaeh Davis, Elaina Buydos and Lariyah Coleman, were given a tour around the mission and spoke with staff about volunteer opportunities. 

As in years past, all students in the Cooking 1 course donate a portion of their baked goods items prepared in class to four local nonprofit organizations. 

Students spend time researching organizations and missions to determine where they would like to donate.
