Scioto Elementary -

We celebrated the incredible folks who keep our school running... our custodial and maintenance teams! We shared great food and a little friendly competition. A massive thank you to this amazing crew for working endlessly behind the scenes to get our facilities sparkling and ready for the new school year. We appreciate everything you do!

As part of Viking Academy, 70 staff members, including teachers, administrators, secretaries and bus drivers had the opportunity to visit Arsenal-1 at Anduril, gaining a firsthand look at the innovative work happening right here in our community. The visit provided valuable insight into the exciting career opportunities in manufacturing available to both our students and community members. Experiences like these help us better connect classroom to careers while continuing to strengthen our partnership with Anduril. We’re excited to keep building this relationship and expanding opportunities that will prepare our students for successful futures, right here in their own backyard. #VikingPride

It's still summer... but inside our buildings, the learning has already begun! Today marked the kickoff of Viking Academy, our three-day professional development event, and our staff members are making the most of their summer by investing in new ideas, collaborating with colleagues, and sharpening their skills for the year ahead. Thank you to all of our educators for choosing to spend part of your summer growing alongside one another. We can't wait to see all the great things you'll bring back to your classrooms!
