Meteorologists in the Making
Students in Mrs. Burton’s and Mr. Peterson’s seventh-grade science classes are becoming expert meteorologists by designing and building barometers and anemometers. The lesson incorporated scientific studies in the classroom and firsthand field experience when students tested their work outdoors. In addition to learning how barometers observe changes in air pressure and anemometers measure wind speed, students also learned how to use wind vanes to measure wind direction and rain gauges to measure precipitation.
Preschool Role Model Application
The Kenston preschool at Timmons Elementary School (TES) is designed so that preschool children with an Individualized Education Program (IEP) receive educational services in an environment with typically developing peers. The program focuses on providing educational opportunities for all preschool children, enabling them to grow, develop and learn from one another.
Families interested in having their child participate as a typically developing peer model must complete a screening packet available on the district website. The packet should be submitted to Katie Seifried by Nov. 15. Screenings will be held on Nov. 22 at the TES building, with sessions from 10-11 a.m. and 2-3 p.m.
Completed packets may be scanned and emailed to katie.seifried@kenstonapps.org or dropped off at the TES office, addressed to Katie Seifried.
Children placed as typically developing peer models need to be potty trained. Parents must provide their own transportation and fulfill the tuition requirement. Families must reside in the Kenston Local School District.
For families of students who are already on an IEP or have recently moved to the district, contact the Special Education office at 440-543-3013 for assistance.
Military Wall of Honor
The Kenston Alumni Association, in partnership with the district, has created a Military Wall of Honor. It was unveiled on Veterans Day 2018. The association continues to add and recognize graduates as their information is submitted.
The community is proud of its brave and selfless service members who graduated from Auburn, Bainbridge or Kenston high schools and wishes to recognize their service on behalf of the United States of America with the Kenston Schools Alumni Military Wall of Honor program.
To submit information to honor graduates and/or employees who are active or veterans of the United States Armed Forces, visit kenstonlocal.org or email alumni@kenstonapps.org.
