Mrs. King says, “Mrs. Thrasher had a great group of students helping decorate the elementary lobby!”
Mrs. Derrickson says, “Here are photos from our Secret Santa Book Exchange! Students drew a classmates name from bucket and chose a book he/she thought the student would enjoy! The book was wrapped & labeled and given to the student by the “secret Santa”. The kids were so appreciative and kind to one another!! A great example of the spirit of giving!!” 🤩 🌲

The Department of Health and Senior Services is assessing the impact of a November 22 court decision regarding quarantine authority, so Licking R-VIII School District will POSTPONE our Community Meeting planned for December 9th to review our Return to In Person Learning Plan until after the first of the year. We still invite our patrons to attend the JH/HS Christmas Concert planned for that evening.
We are so thankful to our local businesses and families who sponsored children in need this year! In addition to toys, we have donations of mittens, socks, hygiene items, and art supplies. If you have any new or gently used toys and would like to donate them to a good cause, FCCLA would like to partner with you. All donations will be given to the Fostering For Faith Organization to help local foster families provide Christmas gifts this season. A drop off box will be available in the high school office for any toy donations this week. Thank you for your generosity!
