Grafton Elementary kindergarten through fourth grade students celebrated Earth Day in a meaningful way with a school-wide book swap! 📚🌎 Over 1,200 books were donated, and students earned “book bucks” to shop for new-to-them reads.
Many even picked out books for siblings, family members, or classmates. Thanks to their kindness and generosity, every student went home with a book today—what a wonderful way to share the joy of reading while caring for our planet! 💚
Huge congratulations to Madisyn Burch, Amelia Jumper, Morgan Allen, and Belle Peuterbaugh for blazing their way to a NEW school record in the Girls 4x200m relay with an incredible time of 1:49.18!

Check out these West Elementary First Graders in action! These eco-warriors teamed up to clear trash from around the school, proving you’re never too small to protect our planet.
We are so proud of our 7th and 8th-grade students who participated in the Olympiad! We had four teams represent our district, and all of them did an outstanding job, earning high scores across the competition.
One team achieved the highest score among all 36 teams in our region, bringing home a well-deserved 1st-place finish!
Throughout the day, students showcased their skills by building a trebuchet, solving challenging math puzzles, designing a car to protect an egg passenger during a crash, and constructing a spanning bridge. It was a fun and engaging day full of creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork.
Great job to all of our participants!
