Officer Tibbs Shares Emergency Lessons with Students
We were happy to welcome Officer Damian Tibbs from the Allen County Sheriff's Office to the middle school on Monday. Officer Tibbs gave a presentation to the students on ALICE Emergency/Intruder Training. ALICE Training is the standard for emergency preparedness using the acronym ALICE for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter and Evacuate. Thank you, Officer Tibbs for helping inform our Elida students to keep us safe, alert and prepared!

New Elementary Weekly Update
What a busy week at the new elementary construction site! You may have seen as concrete was being poured for the gym roof. See the photo of Supt. Mengerink & Treasurer Joel Parker watching as it was being poured. The weather is certainly cooperating for which we are grateful. Other work also includes installation of ductwork, plumbing, veneer and more. See the complete weekly update available here.
TEAM DAY!
The annual Team Day was held in the middle school today with lots of fun and team-building activities. Students played bingo, board games and Kahoot trivia games to compete with for prizes! A video-presentation was shown to the students on internet safety from a representative from ONU. The presentation will be available to online learners, as well. Some teachers even dressed-up special for the day. (see Mr.Bryan below! :))
