Jack Jones Trial

Seventh graders recently spent time studying the judicial system, which culminated in a mock trial for Jack Jones from the story "Jack and the Beanstalk."  After much preparation, students put their knowledge to use as prosecuting and defense attorneys, witnesses, judge, bailiff, and court reporter.  Jack Jones was found guilty on the charges of breaking and entering, burglary, and stealing a goose that laid golden eggs. He was found NOT guilty of kidnapping and assault of a singing harp and NOT guilty of second-degree murder. Thank you to the 6th graders who served as the jury!

A Note from the Nurse

Rhodes State nursing students will be coming on March 5th  (rescheduled date) to assist with postural screenings for the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students. If we do not complete screenings on this day you will be informed of a follow-up date.  The nursing students will be under the direction of our nurse and their nursing instructor. Students will be screened individually from their peers and will be asked to remove their shirt. Girls will want to wear a snug tank or cami for the screening.

If there are any problems detected, we will send home a recommendation for follow up with your child’s physician. Please note, this is just a screening and does not guarantee all problems will be detected. If you have any questions or prefer not to have your child screened please email me, zwiebels@tcspioneers.org. You may also call the school office at 419-227-1644.

Grandparents Day

Our elementary students will present a music program for Grandparents and other visitors next Thursday, March 5 at 12:00 in the LBT auditorium.  Come see the students singing music in different languages from around the world as well as playing bells, recorders, and ukuleles. All of our guests are welcome to visit the Scholastic Book Fair before and after the program.
