Middle school boundary changes - As a result of the need to balance
enrollments across the three middle schools students from the various elementary
schools will be reassigned. The major changes are:
- Skano, Shatekon and
approximately half of Arongen 5th graders will go to Koda for sixth grade.
- Chango, Karigon and Orenda
5th graders will go to Gowana for sixth grade.
- Tesago, Okte and
approximately half of Arongen 5th graders will go to Acadia for sixth grade.
Students currently in middle
school will remain assigned to the same school until they move on to High School
West for 9th grade.
Requests to attend the same
school as a sibling should be sent to the superintendent's office. Students with
specialized programs may be assigned to a different middle school for that
particular program. Formal notifications will be mailed to parents next week. |

The Orenda
PTA hired Lou Del Bianco to present Abraham Lincoln From Railsplitter to
President to commemorate Abraham Lincoln turning 200. Lou Del Bianco is
an actor and storyteller and this program is endorsed by the Abraham Lincoln
Bicentennial Commission. Orendas presentation was held in February for grades
K - 5. Rebekah Hazleton, a 5th grader, read a letter from Grace
Bedell (at the time Mr. Lincoln was running for President, young Grace sent him
a letter urging him to grow a beard to improve his appearance) and Leon Wilson
read a letter written by Abraham Lincoln when Abe was 11 years old.

Orenda's
2nd graders explored caves in Mr. Coleman's art class as
part of a cave painting project. The inspiration for
this project came from the famous paintings in the caves of
Lascaux . Students will be creating their own cave paintings
using the information they found during their explorations.
