Congratulations to Ashley Tudela, third grade student in Mrs. Keeton’s homeroom!  Ashley is the daughter of Mark and Jenna Tudela.  Ashley scored first out of all Gr. 2-6 students in the Wayne Local School District.  She scored 25th in the state of Ohio for ALL grades, and she scored 2nd in the state of Ohio for Third Grade.  Ashley is shown here with Mrs. Keeton, her Mother, Jenna,  and program coordinator, Devin Thomas.

‘First in Math’ is supported and funded by Wayne Local School District.  While the emphasis is on the improvement of numerical fluency and mathematical skills, each activity is also designed to strengthen problem-solving, reasoning and communication skills. Modules parallel each other; completing Game 1 of any Skill Set unlocks a multitude of Bonus games geared to that skill level. The program features a Competition/Rankings component to provide motivation and sustain high activity levels. As students play, they earn virtual award "stickers" that accrue to their personal and classroom score.

The 2nd Grade classes performed their musical, “Hats!” to a packed house on Monday evening. They traveled to Quaker Heights on Wednesday.  They learned some very important lessons including that it’s not the hat that makes a person special, but what’s underneath

In cooperation with Waynesville Police and Wayne Township Fire Department, Wayne Local Schools will be conducting a Code Red / Evacuation Drill on Monday, May 13th at approximately 9:00 am.  The drill will involve evacuating to the following locations by grade level:

K-2         Quaker Heights

3-5          United Methodist Church

6-12       First Baptist Church

Upon safely guiding the students to these locations, we will take attendance by homerooms to ensure that all students are accounted for.  This addition to our normal Code Red drill is an important facet of our overall safety plan for students in the event of an incident on campus.  The drill will last approximately one hour, and students should be back on campus in classrooms between 10:00 and 10:30. 

Students may want to wear appropriate shoes for walking on Monday. 

In case of inclement weather, the drill will be postponed until the Fall of 2013.  We appreciate your cooperation.  Please have your student arrive on time on Monday morning so that he/she can participate in this important drill.

Please put these important dates in your calendar.

Introducing the first annual STEMulate Your Mind Summer Science Camp!

STEMulate Your Mind Camp is for this school year’s Kindergarten students through this school year’s 7th grade students! Wayne Local Schools will replace the past offering of Camp Invention Summer Science Camp with our very own STEMulate Your Mind Summer Science Camp for the very affordable price of only $95 per camper! Our STEM camp will encourage learning through hands-on activities instead of traditional lectures and worksheets. Our STEM camp offers a daily combination of in-class discovery and exploration, outdoor/indoor games and physical activities, and hands-on applications of the scientific principles presented. Your child will be able touch, see, hear, smell and taste what science is really all about. We will use simple, real world science techniques that allow even the youngest of campers to enjoy our learning environment.

Waynesville Elementary enjoyed a special day with children’s author and illustrator, Will Hillenbrand.  Our students sat spellbound during his assembly presentations as he discussed the details and research involved in drawing his illustrations. Our students and staff would like to send a special ‘thank you’ to the Elementary PTO for their donations to our author visit and our "Find Treasures in Reading and Books" reading incentive.   Mr.
