On Friday, 2/28, McConnellsville Elementary students in grades K-4 held their CKH Character Assembly for February! This month's focus was kindness! Second graders led a reading of "Try a Little Kindness" by Henry Cole, and acted out skits of different scenarios where kindness is a choice to make.
A great group of students was recognized for how they show kindness at school, and we also recognized 80 students for perfect attendance in the last month!
Our elementary focus for March is Courage!
Happy Youth Art Month!

When life gives you lemons..... Make lemonade! McConnellsville Elementary had its Valentine's Day Dance postponed due to a delay, so they made the occasion into a 100th Day dance instead!
From a delayed Valentine's Day Dance, to a fun themed activity with families, our friends in Pre-K have certainly felt the love this month!
We hear a lot about earning your stripes, but what about earning your spots? After the first 100 days, McConnellsville Elementary School earned theirs today! To celebrate the 101st day of school, many students have fittingly come in costume today as Dalmatians!
Props to McVille teacher Erica Wimberly for bringing this fun idea to school!
To celebrate the 100th day, Mrs. Hollis's class worked in pairs on a probability exercise! They were instructed to flip a coin 100 times and record their results.
