The Indianapolis 500 Festival and Education Program made its pitstop at Millersburg Elementary Middle School on Monday. The free program for fourth grade students in Indiana, MEMS was joined by its friends from Parkside Elementary in Goshen for the Mobile Study Trip curriculum.
Indy 500 representatives offered classroom lessons with interactive and hands-on stations both outside by the actual Indy car, or inside at stations set up in the Millersburg building.
The Indy 500 Education Program has toured the state for two decades, reaching nearly 450,000 students statewide. The 2023 program visited 337 schools including Millersburg, impacting more than 23,000 Indiana fourth graders in nearly every county in the process.
Millersburg had a busy end to its week, honoring its grandparents with the annual Grandparent's Day!
Class activities, obstacle courses in the gym, personal tours of the school, the kids spared no opportunity to show off their school. A special thank you to all of the grandparents who were able to attend and make it a memorable day for our Millersburg students!
Spring sports opened up this past week, with softball getting in a pair of home games while track competed at the HSR State Finals.

They have been on top of their game the entire winter, and look to remain there with entry at this weekend's Indiana Percussion Association Region A State Finals at Avon High School. The Fairfield High School Indoor Percussion program has been first place at every invite the entire season, and look to keep that trend going at the State Finals, and we wish them nothing but the best as they compete.
Bring it home!
Fairfield's trip to South Bend this past Tuesday turned into quite the honor roll, so to speak.
The Scholastic Art and Writing Awards ceremony at the South Bend Museum of Art yielded regional awards for several FHS students, and an Excellence award to boot.
Katelyn Todd was named the Jim Borden Memorial Award winner as well as the St. Joe Valley Watercolor Society Award winner, joining classmate Allison Tinsley with the SJV honor. Ava Packer was named Art League Award winner and Elizabeth Cunningham grabbed the Northern Indiana Pastel Society award.
Also awarded was Fairfield art teacher Wendi Sparks, who was part of the Shein Trust Excellence in Teaching Award, joining South Bend Clay's Benjamin Murray-Oates and Ninette Deliyannides to receive the Shein. To earn the Shein award, educators are selected based upon components of Scholastic Award entries, Gold and Silver Keys as well as school size.
Congratulation to all of the Fairfield winners from the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards!

Fairfield Community Schools recognized a special young man Thursday at its school board meeting. Fairfield Junior High eighth grader Tristan Whitaker was spotlighted by FCS Superintendent Dr. Carrie Cannon as well as School Board President Sarah Elledge, noting the progress Whitaker has made this school year.

Representatives from Junior Achievement were on hand Thursday at New Paris Elementary to work with fifth graders on some of the ins and outs of how business, marketing and enterprise work. The classes initially heard speakers talk about businesses begin, what goes into the processes, and then how businesses can succeed. Students then began hands-on business practices, including pricing items, marketing their products, and what happens once you make the money on the sale.
Thank you to the Junior Achievement representatives for enlightening our students on real-world practices and making the learning fun!
