Second Grade students at Bolivar Elementary recently read Luka's Quilt. The story is about a young girl whose grandmother makes a quilt for her. The story is written in the Hawaiian Tradition and students learn to understand and respect the ideas of others. Students were asked to bring in a quilt of their own and explain how old it is, who it belongs to, and why it is special. The quilts came from Mrs. Ward's, Mrs. Shull's, Mrs. Duvall's, and Mrs. Hughes' classes. Mrs. Pierson arranged the quilts to be displayed in the library for a gallery walk. You can click here to view a photo gallery of the quilt show!

The TVHS softball fields are getting new dugouts! Construction on the dugouts began the first week of September and is being led by TVHS custodian Willard Himes. The brick for the dugouts was donated last February by the Belden Brick Company. If anyone is interested in donating towards the cost of labor they should contact Willard Himes at the high school!

Students at Tusky Valley High School will be participating in the Ohio Model United Nations program this December in Columbus. The program brings together students from all over the state in an attempt to gain a better understanding of how the United Nations works. The school became interested in the program thanks to TVHS junior Erin Emley who approached the school about the program. The participants will need to raise approximately $210 per student for the program. Anyone interested in making a donation should contact Mr. Love at the high school.
