New Knoxville Local School

Upcoming Spirit Days! This Thursday is Beach Day!

New Knoxville School is pleased to announce it has received a $1,201 STEM grant from the Toshiba America Foundation (TAF). These funds will support the Anatomy & Physiology, Chemistry, and Physics classes at New Knoxville High School. The “Bionic Innovations” project is an outstanding example of Mrs. Natalie Stuttler’s passion for science education and her commitment to creating innovative and meaningful learning experiences for students. Through this project, Mrs. Stuttler is creating a truly interdisciplinary experience that mirrors the collaboration found in today’s biomedical and engineering fields. The opportunity for students to design, 3D-print, and test robotic prosthetic hands using muscle sensors will provide hands-on learning experiences that are both rigorous and highly engaging. Students will be able to apply concepts from science, technology, engineering, and mathematics while developing problem-solving, creativity, collaboration, and critical-thinking skills. This innovative project would not be possible without the generous support of Toshiba and their commitment to supporting STEM education. We are incredibly grateful for this grant and the opportunities it will provide our students to explore real-world applications of science and engineering in an exciting and meaningful way. Toshiba America Foundation’s grants fund projects designed by individual classroom teachers. This “direct-to-teacher” approach brings immediate results. Teachers are able to change the way they teach Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subjects because the grant supports equipment for hands-on experiments and inquiry-based approaches to the curriculum. At TAF, we believe that STEM is a lot more fun than just reading a textbook. TAF grants provide teachers with the tools they need to be more effective educators. The grants make the classroom a more exciting place for both teachers and students. For more information, please visit: www.toshiba.com/taf.

Mrs. Phillips class enjoyed learning all about our classmates with our "Owl About me Bags"!

Mrs. Phillips: -more all about me bags -show-and-tell and live show-and-tell -our first teacher of the year

Happy Monday! It's a great week to be a Ranger! Check out the weekly update below for all the happenings at NK!

A little Social Studies bag game to help the 4th graders review for our Continents and Oceans and Ohio quiz. Thanks @mr_alsheimer for the fun idea!

🧪 Mrs. Stuttler’s Physics seniors are hard at work refreshing their graphing skills! In this experiment, students are investigating the relationship between mass and the time it takes a pendulum to return to its starting point. After collecting and graphing their data in Desmos, they’ll use their results to complete their lab write-up in their lab journals. 📈⚖️⏱️ Science, data, and a little hands-on physics! 🔬📊

Third grade is getting creative with nature! 🍂 They’re learning how to transfer real leaves onto paper for a fun fall art project. 🎨

Out and about checking out the New Knoxville Community Garage Sales this Saturday? Make a sweet stop while you’re bargain hunting!

First grade art honored 9/11 today in the sweetest, most heartfelt way — by creating their very own American flags. 🇺🇸 This week's focus was warm and cool colors. Students completed a Warm Sunset with Cool Waters drawing. ☀️ 🌊

Congratulations to the first Rangers of the Week for the 26/27 school year! We are so proud of the leadership and empathy these students show in the classroom! Keep up the great work!

Third grade students recently put their engineering skills to the test in a challenge to build the tallest freestanding tower using only mini-marshmallows and dry spaghetti. Working in teams, they collaborated to ask questions, imagine possibilities, plan designs, and create their structures. The students did a fantastic job using critical thinking and problem-solving skills, all while having fun and learning together. Congratulations to Myles Bucklin, Leroy George, and Jensen Meyer whose teamwork earned them the winning tower!

Please note: Soccer game tonight vs West Liberty is a 5:30 start. Soccer on Thursday vs Botkins is a 5:00 start. This was listed incorrectly on the weekly events page.

**UPDATE/CORRECTION: Tonight's soccer game versus West Liberty begins at 5:30. Thursday's soccer game versus Botkins begins at 5:00. Sorry for the mix-up!

Get out there and support your Rangers—JH volleyball at 5:00, and then head over to the soccer fields! Tonight will be a great night to watch some soccer!

Happy Monday! Another busy week! Take a look at all that is going on. Go Rangers!

Second graders enjoyed 🎉Fun Friday🎉 in PE with a big class game of Battleship! One creative brain worked hard building castles! Great day to be a Ranger! ❤️🩶

Who says you can't throw Paper Airplanes in School?!! 7th grade STEM didn't get the message!!

Third grade has had a great start to the school year!

9 sixth-graders crushed the optional Summer Reading Challenge given to them in May. All participants earned fun prizes and full-challenge finishers made candy-filled "dirty sodas" to celebrate. Together, the group read 7,320 minutes (122 hrs) this summer! Way to go 6th graders!
