Keep saving your tabs for Ronald McDonald House, Blackbirds! As a reminder, students can bring in containers/ziplock bags at any point in the school year. Our FCCLA visits RMHC in Toledo each spring to take all of the tabs we've collected and make dinner for the guests staying at RMHC. Our bins are filling up, keep up the good work. Thanks for your support of this wonderful program!

Mr. Waidelich’s 7th period STEAM class teamed up with Mrs. Lammers and the new-to-us collection of Legos. The students first helped sort thousands of pieces into color coded bins, and then partnered up to create their own designs. Each duo brainstormed and created unique projects, then produced direction booklets from scratch so that our elementary Blackbirds can build these creations when they visit the Library. Great job, Blackbirds! 🧱
