Health Reminders
Allergy season is upon us and students are spending more time outside because of the beautiful Spring weather. We have had many instances of students coming in from spending time outdoors complaining of red and itchy eyes due to allergies. If your child suffers from seasonal allergies, please make sure your child’s allergy needs are taken care of before coming to school so they are more successful with their learning, and not having allergy symptoms while in class. Also, the weather can be unpredictable with temperature. It would be a good idea to send your child with a light sweatshirt or jacket daily. The temperature can vary greatly throughout the building as well as outside during the day. Students who feel comfortable while at school have an easier time learning. Thank you!

Also, feel free to come and see if you happen to recognize any of the items yourself if you find something belonging to your child is missing.

Let's Go Local
We’re excited to announce that Glendale Elementary will be partnering with Crossroads Church as part of their Go Local! Volunteer Project on Saturday, May 18, 2019. Thank you, Amy Stephens, for sharing information about this opportunity! Crossroads accepted our proposal to paint sensory paths on the playground blacktop. They will provide supplies and some volunteers. The project manager, Laura Cooley, is awesome and has already mapped out two designs for a single path and a partner path that will hopefully provide some structured play options at recess. Our PTA purchased a USA map stencil, so we’re going to tackle that, too! WE WILL NEED VOLUNTEERS. We think 10 volunteers will be able to complete the project in four hours 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. High school-adults only; family members welcome!

Sharonville PFO Scholarship
Last fall, the Sharonville Elementary PFO announced that we would be awarding our sixth $500 college scholarship to a former Sharonville Elementary student. We look for students who are willing to represent Princeton and serve as a student leader, by volunteering at Sharonville Elementary School, during their senior year of high school. Applicants are encouraged to be thoughtful in determining ways they can serve as role models for our elementary students. A minimum of 20 hours of service are required. We encourage applicants to brainstorm a project that will truly benefit the students at Sharonville Elementary.
After reviewing our applications, our Scholarship Committee picked a candidate who submitted a well-written, thoughtful, and relevant reflection. She did an excellent job of explaining her project and displaying her commitment to Sharonville Elementary School. We were impressed with her determination and passion, and we were confident her project would be beneficial to our students at Sharonville Elementary School!
McKenna Culter volunteered in her former teacher, Mrs. Powers’ second grade classroom on Wednesday afternoons. Mrs. Powers was immediately struck by her enthusiasm to return and give back to her elementary school. McKenna wanted to work with students who spoke English as their second language. Mrs. Powers had four newcomers in her classroom, and McKenna was able to read with them and practice basic math skills. Mrs. Powers stated, “It has been so heartwarming to watch McKenna return to Sharonville, giving back to her elementary school and community. Thank you, McKenna, for making a difference!”
It is our honor to award McKenna Culter Sharonville Elementary PFO’s $500 Senior Scholarship! We are also looking forward to hearing her speak to our fifth graders at their promotion ceremony on May 29. Congratulations, McKenna! We’re so proud of you!

Every year, Springdale fourth graders have the opportunity to visit Gorman Heritage Farm, to learn about farm life in the past and the present.

In each game, they need to answer math questions to progress. While Sumdog automatically adapts its problems, they can choose which game they play. Each correct answer they give counts toward their score. During the contest period, students will see the contest activity on their homepage. Any games they play when this is showing will count toward their score. Students are ranked on a leaderboard by the number of correct answers they give.

We were impressed with her determination and passion, and we were confident her project would be beneficial to our students at Sharonville Elementary School!McKenna Culter volunteered in her former teacher, Mrs. Powers’ second grade classroom on Wednesday afternoons. Mrs. Powers was immediately struck by her enthusiasm to return and give back to her elementary school. McKenna wanted to work with students who spoke English as their second language. Mrs. Powers had four newcomers in her classroom, and McKenna was able to read with them and practice basic math skills. Mrs. Powers stated, “It has been so heartwarming to watch McKenna return to Sharonville, giving back to her elementary school and community. Thank you, McKenna, for making a difference!”It is our honor to award McKenna Culter Sharonville Elementary PFO’s $500 Senior Scholarship! We are also looking forward to hearing her speak to our fifth graders at their promotion ceremony on May 29. Congratulations, McKenna! We’re so proud of you!
Senior Clap-OutSpringdale students congratulated Princeton HS graduating seniors - many of whom are former Springdale students - by lining the hallways and clapping for the seniors as they walked through the halls in their caps and gowns. Congratulations Princeton grads!
Fourth Grade Visits Gorman Heritage FarmEvery year, Springdale fourth graders have the opportunity to visit Gorman Heritage Farm, to learn about farm life in the past and the present. Students follow the history of the farm’s original owners, the Brown family, from their origins as Scottish crofters to their immigration to the U.S. and their journey to Evendale, where their farm still stands almost 200 years later. Students had the opportunity to meet and feed some of the farm’s animals, create an old-fashioned toy, and carry water using a yoke. It was a fun and educational experience!
Fifth Grade at Camp JoyFifth graders learned a lot about nature at Camp Joy. They also enjoyed getting to know other fifth graders from Woodlawn and Glendale.
