🍀☘️More St. Patty's day fun was had yesterday at our Milton ESC units! Miss Embry and Mrs. Peltier's classes came together to make treats and hang out. They started by making Lucky-Charms rice krispies, and then enjoyed their snacks with some festive themed bingo!

It's great to see our students come together and interact with others they may not see every day. The group had a blast!🌈

Leprechaun traps, fruit loop rainbows, and a whole lot of green was brought out to celebrate today. Our students enjoyed St. Patty's themed activities and sweets to go with them, but we're still hunting for that pot of gold!🪙

Mr. Hahn’s class sends a huge THANK YOU to Upper Valley Career Center for having them out for lunch at The Cornerstone.

Students practiced communication by taking their order, and worked on social skills by practicing proper restaurant etiquette. Hard to beat real-life application! The food was amazing and the service was great, thanks again Upper Valley Career Center!

"It is fun to have fun but you have to know how!" - The Cat in the Hat 🐱🎩

Well our CLC students definitely knew how to have fun this week! They celebrated Dr. Seuss Week with a surprise visit from some of their favorite storybook characters. Seeing the students connect with these characters and literature in such a joyful way is what it’s all about.

Big shout out and thank you to Andrea Wackler and the @troymiamilibrary for bringing Thing 1 and Thing 2 (and the Cat!) out to see us. We are so grateful for our community partners! 📖✨

Bringing Nature Into the Classroom! 🏞️

This week, The Brukner Nature Center visited with students from Mrs. R and Ms. B’s classes at Tipp City!

Ms. Emmaley from Brukner told the class about her personal experience in the field and brought some 'Animal Ambassadors' for them to check out. The class was introduced to a Virginia Opossum, an Eastern Screech Owl, a box turtle and an American Toad. Very cool and informative, thank you so much to @bruknernaturecenter!

"How demanding is running your own business?" - A question these Covington students had answered firsthand from local entrepreneur Amber Stephenson. The answer: VERY, but it's all worth it! Amber owns Rosebuds Real Food, a local store selling all-natural, gluten-free, and non-GMO spices and seasonings. 🫚🍂

Amber shared the real story behind business ownership including the risks, the rewards, and everything in between. She made sure these students knew that it's not all sunshine and roses, but those willing to put in the work can make it happen!

Huge thanks to Amber for making a lasting impact on these students curious about entrepreneurship. Your energy is contagious, and the free samples were a big hit! ✨

🦖 Visiting ancient dinosaur graveyards to solve mysteries of the Mesozoic era
🌕 Taking a seat in a future moon colony and look back at our home planet.
🌊 Swimming through a breathtaking underwater excursion

Mrs. Durbins class took advantage of the nice weather window last week to get out of the classroom and learn about birds!🐦

Each week, the class reads a themed news article, and last weeks was about The Great Backyard Bird Count. Everyone created their own bird feeders out of sugar cones, Cheerios, and peanut butter and then watched them attract all different types of birds. It was a perfect excuse relax outdoors and enjoy the sunshine! 🌞🐦‍⬛🦤🦅

Miss Embry's class took full advantage of 'Fun Friday' yesterday and headed out to Boscoe's Place for lunch!🥘

Miss Embry and our Special Education Supervisor, Katie, wanted to give the students a chance to practice their real-life communication skills by ordering their own food and using menu prices to learn what certain items cost. A little blend of practicing what they've learned in the classroom, and enjoying some great food while at it.😋

Thank you Boscoe's Place for having us!

Mrs. Ruzicka's class at Tipp City spent this week learning about Lunar New Year and how 2026 is the 'Year of the Horse', a rare, energetic, and transformative year!

Today, they made a snack that no one in class has tried yet: peanut butter noodles 🍜According to Mrs. Ruzicka, when she introduced the recipe everyone seemed very skeptical about the ingredients. However, after they combined every ingredient and tasted the complete dish, they LOVED it. Everyone had seconds.

To cap off their week long lesson, a student chose to watch Kung-Fu Panda 2 due to its ties to ancient China. Each student took home a 'Year of the Horse' red envelope with some good luck cash!

Mrs. Scherbyna's class received donated art kits from We Care Arts, and they put them to great use making hand-crafted bird feeders!🐦‍⬛ Using their own selection of paint colors, glue, and popsicle sticks, they built their feeders from scratch.

Projects like these help develop our students focus and fine-motor skills, and everyone went home with a new bird feeder. Win-win! 🗸
