New Knoxville Local School

First grade art honored 9/11 today in the sweetest, most heartfelt way — by creating their very own American flags. 🇺🇸 This week's focus was warm and cool colors. Students completed a Warm Sunset with Cool Waters drawing. ☀️ 🌊

Congratulations to the first Rangers of the Week for the 26/27 school year! We are so proud of the leadership and empathy these students show in the classroom! Keep up the great work!

Third grade students recently put their engineering skills to the test in a challenge to build the tallest freestanding tower using only mini-marshmallows and dry spaghetti. Working in teams, they collaborated to ask questions, imagine possibilities, plan designs, and create their structures. The students did a fantastic job using critical thinking and problem-solving skills, all while having fun and learning together. Congratulations to Myles Bucklin, Leroy George, and Jensen Meyer whose teamwork earned them the winning tower!

Please note: Soccer game tonight vs West Liberty is a 5:30 start. Soccer on Thursday vs Botkins is a 5:00 start. This was listed incorrectly on the weekly events page.

**UPDATE/CORRECTION: Tonight's soccer game versus West Liberty begins at 5:30. Thursday's soccer game versus Botkins begins at 5:00. Sorry for the mix-up!

Get out there and support your Rangers—JH volleyball at 5:00, and then head over to the soccer fields! Tonight will be a great night to watch some soccer!

Happy Monday! Another busy week! Take a look at all that is going on. Go Rangers!

Second graders enjoyed 🎉Fun Friday🎉 in PE with a big class game of Battleship! One creative brain worked hard building castles! Great day to be a Ranger! ❤️🩶

Who says you can't throw Paper Airplanes in School?!! 7th grade STEM didn't get the message!!

Third grade has had a great start to the school year!

9 sixth-graders crushed the optional Summer Reading Challenge given to them in May. All participants earned fun prizes and full-challenge finishers made candy-filled "dirty sodas" to celebrate. Together, the group read 7,320 minutes (122 hrs) this summer! Way to go 6th graders!

We had a fantastic time celebrating USA Spirit Day and coming together for our first Pep Rally of the school year! We celebrated all of our fall sports and activities, recognized the hard work and dedication of our students, and kicked off the new school year with plenty of Ranger Pride!

Mrs. Stuttler’s Chemistry students spent some time perfecting their observation and lab skills today! Students prepared a copper(II) chloride (CuCl₂) solution and then added aluminum to observe the reaction that took place. But the real focus wasn’t just what happened—it was how we described what happened. 👀 Students practiced distinguishing between observations (what we can directly see, hear, or measure) and inferences/interpretations (what we think those observations mean). This skill will be important all year long as our young scientists learn to carefully observe, collect evidence, and make sense of chemical reactions. 🔬🧪 Great work, Chemistry students! Keep those scientist eyes open! 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬✨

Miss Pond’s Algebra 1 class had fun putting their math skills and creativity to work with their “Sell That Property” projects! Students were challenged to “sell” different mathematical properties by explaining the property, giving examples, and convincing their classmates why their property was the best one to buy!
