WLKI invited Superintendent Dr. Matt Widenhoefer and AHS Athletic Director Steve Lantz to the station to brag about the amazing start to the school year. Dr. Widenhoefer shared all the great things he has seen happening so far this year and all the school facility improvements. Mr. Lantz made sure to invite the community to support the football team on Friday for their home opener at 7:30pm against John Glenn High School.

Small Community, Big Opportunities Being in a small town offers many opportunities for our students not available in other towns. One of the exceptional things about our community is its walkability. Many of our students are able to walk to school. It also enables our students to get off of school grounds and experience education in an exciting and interactive way. A prime example of this was when one of our Kindergarten classes took a walk to visit with a local artist who is beautifying our town by painting a mural on a retaining wall at the corner of a local neighborhood. Students were able to get an up close and personal look at the artwork along with listening to the artist describe her work. Love our Schools, Love our Town!

5th graders at Ryan Park received their new chromebooks last week. Our chromebook 1to1 policy allows each student to have their own device. This gives our district the ability to have e-learning days both scheduled and weather related. These devices will stay with our 5th graders now and throughout and Middle school.

On June 5th MSD once again opened its doors, this time for summer school. Summer school is a great opportunity for students to enhance their knowledge, explore new subjects, and engage in personal growth. Summer school runs from 8am to 11:30am for 2 weeks and includes breakfast and lunch. This year we currently have approximately 210 students involved in the program district wide. Summer school offers a more relaxed environment to encourage educational and social growth. It is led by a dedicated group of teachers and staff who give up part of their summer to give students this opportunity.

Don't forget, the MSD of Steuben County Elementary Summer School kicks off on Monday, June 5th at Ryan Park Elementary School. 🏫✨
