KHS Student Receives Art Award
|
|
Congratulations to
Sarah Gies
y for winning a $200 award for her digital painting she created for the
Artist Reaching Classrooms program
(ARC)
, an education program of the Taft Museum of Art.
Kings High School Advanced Placement Digital Media Arts students,
Anna-Claire Barker, Tim Bredemeier, Kevin Lewis, Grace Pansch, Erin Seccia, and Megan Wagner
also had their work selected for the exhibition.
ARC immerses high school art students in Cincinnati’s visual arts community and exposes them to careers in the arts. Professional artists visit classrooms to talk with the students about both the creative and practical aspects of a career in art. The students also visit an artist’s studio, such as a painter’s atelier, glassworks or printing press.
Each class visits the Taft Museum of Art. Students are expected to complete a research project on an object from the Museum’s collection, describing its history and significance, and explaining why the artwork has personal appeal. Each classroom receives a set of Museum catalogues.
KHS AP DMA teacher,
Kelly Shields
said, "Students are asked to make artworks in response to the ARC experience and write artists’ statements demonstrating what they have learned. The program culminates in a professionally organized exhibition of selected students’ artwork."

CIS Gets Creative with Cells
|
|
Sixth graders on
Team Renaissance
at Columbia intermediate School have been building cells (plant and animal) and learning the parts (organelles) of the cells.
They used all sorts of things to build their cells ranging from buttons to twisty ties to Popsicle sticks. They spent two class days creating these followed by taking class votes for a winner. CIS 6th grade teacher,
Abby Jackson
said, "They took a lot of pride in their work and some of the creativity was unbelievable."
While building the cells, the students listened to "cell rap songs" and watched Bill Nye on cells. "It was nothing but cells, cells, cells," she said.

2019-2020 Immunizations Requirements
|

If you have a student entering 7th and/or 12th grade, you will need to be sure they are up-to-date on vaccines.
Students entering
7
th
grade
will need to have one dose of
meningococcal (MCV4)
vaccine and one dose of the
Tdap
(tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis) vaccine.
Students entering
12
th
grade
will need to have a second dose of
meningococcal vaccine
. The second dose must be administered on or after the 16
th
birthday. If the first dose of meningococcal vaccine was administered after the 16
th
birthday, a second dose is not required.
Ohio law allows a 14 day grace period for the beginning of the school year. If a student does not obtain the required vaccinations and provide written documentation (immunization record) or an exemption note to the school, the school will exclude that student on the 15
th
day of the 2019/2020 school year until the immunization requirement is fulfilled.
Your child may have already received this vaccine at his/her most recent check-up. If not, please schedule an appointment with your primary health care provider. In addition, the Warren County Health Department provides a variety of clinic hours offering vaccinations at a low cost. Their number is 695-1468.
Please send updated vaccination records that reflect that these requirements have been met to your child’s school nurse.
