Hey Coolville Families! Please join us for a wonderful evening celebrating our students’ creativity! On May 7th, we are excited to host two special events:
3rd–5th Grade Music Concert: Starting at 6:00 PM with 5th grade band followed by 3rd grade, then 4th grade and finishing with 5th grade.
Spring Art Show: For all grades! Opening immediately following the concert.
This spring, our artists have explored the themes of Dinosaurs, Sky & Space, and Flowers. This is a student-curated gallery, meaning each child has hand-selected their favorite piece to display. They have produced truly amazing work and are so proud to show it off!
Following the concert and gallery viewing, please join us for a cookie reception in the Art Room. If you would like to donate cookies for the reception, please drop them off at the front office.
Thank you for your support, and we look forward to seeing you there!

What an exciting day in Amesville preschool!
Our students had a fantastic time celebrating “Snake Day” with our special visitors, Emma Lucas (FH grad) and her grandfather . There was plenty of curiosity, brave moments, and big smiles as students learned about snakes in a fun, hands-on way.
Thank you to our visitors for making the day so memorable!

Today, our school had the incredible opportunity to host a Jama group from Ohio University, for a special assembly!
Our students were fully engaged as they learned the importance of unity through powerful music, storytelling, and movement. The energy in the room was unforgettable, and it was wonderful to see so many smiling faces and active participation.
What made this experience even more meaningful is the connection to our own staff. Last summer two of our teachers, Ms. Lathrop and Mrs. Gilmore, had the honor of traveling to Ghana as Fulbright Scholars, where they immersed themselves in the culture and built lasting relationships. Seeing elements of that rich culture come to life today created a special, full-circle moment for our school community.
We are grateful to the Jama group for sharing their talents and message with us—it truly made an impact on our school community!

Dear Lancer Families,
I wanted to follow up from my earlier notification about the handgun found in the high school parking lot. With the assistance of the Athens County Sheriff's Office we have used out surveillance cameras and have identified two vehicles in our parking lot at 1:58 a.m. on Sunday morning, the gun being tossed from one of the vehicles. The Sheriff's Office is now in charge of the investigation and we appreciate their support. As I reported to you earlier, our students and staff were not under any threat. We appreciate the quick reactions of the parents that intially spotted the weapon and the positive support we have recieved from the Sheriff's Office.

Dear Lancer Families,
This is not an emergency. We do want you to know that early this morning a parent found an unloaded and damaged hand gun in our high school parking lot. I want to repeat, this was found in the parking lot, and was not loaded. It appears to have been in the lot from the weekend, it had appears to have been run over several times. We have turned it over to the Sheriff's office and feel that there is no reason for alarm. We will keep you informed as to any futher developments.
