A message from Mrs. Lewis to our Senior and Freshman Classes:
Josten's will be returning tomorrow morning (Tuesday) to take order forms and the first payment from 7:30-8:15 am. If students are unable to see them at that time, they can turn those forms into Mrs. Lewis.
Congrats to Sierra Ward! She was awarded the “Congress Of Future Medical Leaders Award of Excellence”.
Sierra attended the Congress of Future Medical Leaders this past summer that was held in Boston, Massachusetts. During her visit, she was able to watch a live surgery and was given the opportunity to ask the surgeon questions about the surgery.
She was taught by some Nobel Prize winners in their field of medicine and some medical school academic leaders.
Last years 6th graders were challenged at camp to develop a community project that would positively impact the community. The student chose to build a “Gaga pit” for the playground to improve and promote the health and well being of students. The students had to develop a plan of action for this project and fund-raise to purchase the required items. The project has been completed and a brand new Gaga pit is located on the playground. Special thanks goes out to Mr. Bluck and his high school Ag class for the building of the pit.
Special thanks to the Tim Hortons Foundation Camp, Camp Kentahten, for giving our 6th graders an opportunity to attend their camp. While at camp students were challenged to become better leaders and make an impact on our community. The students decided to impact our community this year by working with our elementary students to improve their reading. More to come soon on this project! We are eager to see the great work the students will do!

Senior M.A.D.E members had their first opportunity to paint their parking spot last night. This is the second year our students have had this opportunity and they really enjoy it.
Thanks to Ms. Mess, our M.A.D.E coordinator, the student participation in our Drug Free Clubs of America club continues to grow!
Good Afternoon,
This is Adena Principal Lisa Wayland. We want to update everyone regarding an accident involving an Adena elementary student on the playground. Following district protocol, EMS was summoned who then assessed the situation and recommended further action. The child and the parent are following up on assessment and treatment at this time and the school is operating as normal. We want to thank our local EMS/Fire as well as our staff for a prompt and professional response to the situation.
Our beautiful, fresh, LOCAL, roasted vegetables served at lunch today!

Greetings to our Adena Elementary Family! We are so happy to be back with your children. I wanted to let you know that our BLUE system is up and running. (Behavior Leading Us to Excellence). Students are earning Blue Bucks for making good choices throughout the school day. Our expectations are posted all around our building so they have constant reminders. With their Blue Bucks they can earn rewards throughout the school year. Some are surprises....some they will be aware of and are working hard to achieve. Please help us by encouraging your children to continue to make good choices at school. Their commitment will pay off! And as always....thank you for your support and help.
Yours in Education, Mrs. Wayland
