Today we celebrate those who choose to volunteer their time and pour into our children at a moment's notice. Without substitute teachers, our schools would not function. So we celebrate this national day of recognition for your servant leadership, adaptability and patience with all of our kids!
Thank you, subs!

Progress is being made on the latest house project by Fairfield Builders Trades!
The house is going up on CR 37 in Millersburg, and looks to be on schedule. Trades director Jeff McClure sent over this photo of the trusses being maneuvered into place, and said the dry weather in September has actually been a blessing for the crew as they have been able to get a lot more work done without the pauses for precipitation, etc.
If you would be interested in having a future home built by Fairfield Builders Trades, contact McClure at (574) 831-2184.

Students in Collin Groves classroom this morning at Fairfield had the opportunity to learn about the workings of the legal system from local attorney Ryan Mehl. A fifth generation lawyer, Mehl fielded questions from the class on how long it takes to become a lawyer, how to prep for trials and who he represents, how juries are selected, some of his most difficult and favorite cases, the latter being one he settled for a friend.
“I think it's helpful being in their environment where they are used to learning here, rather than them coming to my office,” said Mehl of his appearance at Fairfield, who works for Mehl & Mehl, Attorneys at Law. “Hearing about law from my family and the cases they represented was very inspiring to me growing up. Hearing about the people they fought for, trying to get justice for them, that was very inspiring to me.”
Students in Allison Schrock's sixth grade class at New Paris Elementary recently took the literal, hands-on approach to math.
Using the classic 'KFC' method, students worked on completing math equations by 'Keep the first fraction the same, Flip the second fraction and Change the division sign to a multiplication sign. And what better way to learn the KFC method than a side piece of Kentucky Fried Chicken?
