Week Thirty - Posters Unveiled!

This Week

The week isn't quite over, although the highlight of the week has mostly passed us, which was the poster unveiling at the Wright State Educational Resource Center. It was great seeing so many of you there and seeing all of the student artwork hanging prominently at Wright State University. Please go and 'like' their Facebook page and check out the picture album that Stephanie Bange, the Director of the ERC, has posted. There are many more great pictures of students and parents on there. Thank you so much to her and the ERC for hosting us and our artwork!

The posters will be on display until April 15th if you weren't able to make it out Wednesday. Some of the posters are also being entered into the Max May Memorial Art Contest, so look for those soon!

It was a truly fun evening seeing all the artwork on display, you all did a great job!

Thank you to all the students who showed up!

And the parents!

Thanks to DRSS Board Member Jennifer Winner for showing up and purchasing some of the posters to donate back to the school so they can be on display in our rooms!

And thanks to everyone who wants to shave my beard! We received over $100 last night and had commitments for at least another $100 through auction sales!

Students decided today to donate the proceeds to the non-profit organization United to End Genocide, which helps raise awareness of current ongoing conflicts and genocides going on around the world today. Find out more about how their money is spent HERE. If you missed a chance to donate but still want to see me with a new (or no) facial hair style, you can send in cash (or a check) made payable to either the Dayton Regional STEM School or directly to United to End Genocide. We have until Friday to get to $1,000 and students of all grade levels can donate!

Socratic Seminars have now been entered and all grades are now in ProgressBook depending on which quarter students elected to have their seminars and ticket assignments show up. If you have any questions or the grade book looks inaccurate, please feel free to email me to clear up any confusion at arch.grieve@wright.edu.

Upcoming Week

Testing continues throughout the week, and the most important one, of course, is next Monday. Don't forget to study this weekend using the following Ohio Department of Education test preparation website. Additionally, students can find out the topics for the Social Studies test HERE.

Have a great rest of the week and a great weekend!
