Karns City Area School District

To prepare for the upcoming PSSAs, Mrs. Baum’s 4th/5th ELA class is reading the book, ‘Out of My Mind’ by Sharon Draper. The students' completed activities about the story relating to figurative language, vocabulary, and citing evidence from the text. 

Mrs. Hebenthal's sixth grade students at JKarns City Elementary School celebrated Read Across America week with some special activities, including spending time with Mrs. Wimer's first grade class. 

The older students read books and played theme related card games with the younger students. Although sixth grade visits first grade weekly, this was an extra special treat for all students involved.

Students at Karns City Area Elementary recently took on the Cereal Dominoes Challenge and collected 860 boxes of cereal for the Karns City Weekend Food Backpack Program.

The students were successful! Their cereal chain wound through the halls from kindergarten to 6th grade! Students cheered as the Domino chain fell from one end to the other, knocking down all of the boxes.

Students in Mrs. Kelly Sadowski and Ms. Carolyn Kelly’s classroom at Karns City Area Elementary School, opened the “Sunshine Station,"a coffee and snack shack for teachers. Teachers were given the opportunity to order a drink (with the choices of tea, iced coffee or water), creamer or no creamer, sugar or no sugar, and a snack (chips or biscotti), and students then filled each order and delivered it to the staff. 

This month the station was focused on kindness, and each student wrote encouraging messages on the cups. Students then practiced using their social skills when delivering. Teachers told students that giving someone something can feel good and is a kind thing to do! Students enjoyed writing the uplifting notes, and seeing staff smile with each delivery. 

Congratulations to Butler County Area Vocational-Technical School National Honor Society students!
