It's Fire Prevention Week! Our friends from the West Carrollton Fire Department stopped by Harold Schnell this morning. Following a fire drill, the firefighters spoke about fire safety and the importance of having a home exit plan as well as an alternate exit plan in the event of a fire. The exit plan should include a n outside meeting place.
It's Mustache Day at Schnell! It's one of the fun spirit day activities happening this week as we get closer to Homecoming. The theme this year is A Night in Paris.
Pop can tabs + counting = a fun way to learn for Harold Schnell students! Second graders will be collecting pop tabs and using them to learn about numbers up to 1,000.

It was an honor to be chosen as the host school for the Jostens Renaissance Better Than Good Tour! Students from 28 area High Schools attended to hear keynote speakers and participate in breakout sessions. The focus of the day was creating a positive environment. Some lines from the keynote speakers included, "If you talk behind someone's back, you will always be behind them," and "You don't choose your life, but you do get to choose how to live it." Another important line for student leaders was, "They won't follow what you say, but they will follow what you do." These are powerful words for our young people as well as adults!

Sometimes I'm driving down I-75 and I get a glimpse of the construction going on at the High School, then I remember --- Eyes Up, Phones Down, Go Slow (but not too slow because I'm on the highway). This time I was in the passenger seat and able to get some pictures to share!
Tonight's game was amazing having our Pee-wee teams and their parents. I'd like to thank everyone who came out to support our kiddos!
