First Lady Fran DeWine announced today that the Ohio Governor’s Imagination Library Program is now being offered to children in all of Ohio’s 88 counties. 

Kids from birth to age five statewide are now eligible to receive a free book in the mail each month, no matter what county they live in.

When First Lady DeWine started this program with the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, only a handful of counties offered the books and 13 percent of Ohio children were enrolled. 

Parents are encouraged to enroll their kids in this free literary program. To sign up, visit ohioimaginationlibrary.org Learn more about the Ohio Governor’s Imagination Library in the video below. 

 

 

 As you read my ramblings, the Grover Hill students and staff will be out of school on spring break. When we return to school on Monday, April 5, we will be starting our final grading period of the year. Once back, we will have a little over two weeks before we start state testing. Students in grades three through six will be taking their ELA assessments on April 20 and April 21. The following week, the same students will take their mathematics assessment on April 27 and April 28. Only select grades take the science assessment and those are administered on May 4 and May 5. Students that were eligible for the good behavior reward party enjoyed delicious cookies and juice provided by the Wayne Trace Grover Hill PTO. This is a group of dedicated parents always willing to lend helping hands here at the school. If ever I need assistance with a project or need financial assistance, they are there with willing hands and the resources to get the project tackled. All of the WTGHE students and staff members are blessed to have the support of this fine group. Our preschool and kindergarten screenings have been completed. The preschool screenings for Grover Hill were March 25 and future kindergarteners were screened on March 25 and March 26. If your child will be ready for preschool, kindergarten or transitional kindergarten, please call 419-399-4100, option #3 immediately to register your child and schedule a make-up screening. Speaking of transitional kindergarten, Wayne Trace parents have the option of enrolling their youngster in either kindergarten or transitional kindergarten. Over the years, we have found that not all students who are eligible for kindergarten are quite ready. The demands of kindergarten are for more rigorous than they were when parents were in school. For many students, transitional kindergarten is a beneficial bridge between home (or preschool) and traditional kindergarten. Students are exposed to the state curriculum for kindergarteners but the pace is slower and provides additional remediation of lacking skills. This extra year of intensive support proves so beneficial to students who might not otherwise be fully ready for the expectations and rigor of kindergarten. When I first became the principal, I heard about a fourth grade jump rope performance, but did not think too much more about it. The student body was divided into groups to go see this “performance,” and I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. These students had an entire routine prepared to music, and they jumped rope like I have never seen before. It was amazing! Mrs. Mohr, Mrs. Schmidt, Miss Cavinder, Mrs. Baker, and the entire fourth grade class deserve a huge round of applause for their hard work on outstanding performance. You can watch portions of it on the building’s Facebook page. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, never hesitate to call. Your partner in education, Mark Lange WTGHE Principal
