Warwood Elementary School

The fifth grade class spent the day playing mini putt-putt, laughing on the playground, enjoying a picnic lunch together, and didn’t hesitate to jump right into a chilly pool! The laughs could be heard around the park and the smiles spoke for themselves saying these kiddos are ready for middle school. Days like this truly couldn’t go on without the organization and preparation by classroom teachers, Mrs. Hunley and Mr. Gruber. We’re sending a big thanks to the 5th grade support staff, and our AMAZING parent volunteers for all of their help and donations. Congratulations, Warwood Elementary School Class of 2026! You made our great, big, Viking family proud today! Check out Viking Parents Facebook page for more in-the-moment pics!

Through their reading unit, second grade has been learning all about nutrition and how different foods provide benefits to the body. In math they learned to identify and count money and make change. They had to put those skills to work in an end of unit field trip. Students worked in groups to carefully plan and budget for a healthy snack. The project came to life when they went to Kroger for a nutrition tour and to shop for the items they needed for the snack they planned. Each group had to carefully calculate the cost of their items as they worked to stay in budget. To finish it off, they got to prepare and enjoy their snacks.

We loved welcoming our senior Vikings this afternoon! We’re so proud of you and can’t wait to see you succeed in all you do!

Bus note for Viking families:
Bus 32/50 is running approximately 15 minutes behind schedule due to traffic. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Our second-grade scholars have been busy learning about different biomes. They each chose one to research. They read various books on their biome and took notes on the plants, animals, and landforms found in it. They used their notes to write a report. They then put their creative skills to work to create a diorama of their biome. They were able to share their hard work with staff and students on Friday.

Warwood Elementary was popping today! The students did an amazing job running and walking laps for our Bubble Run. We’d also like to give a big shout out to all of our families who came out to cheer them on!

Second grade families enjoyed an evening with Miss Carrie and Mr. B from the Ohio County Public Library. They had the opportunity to sign up for library cards and hear about the summer programs at the library. They also enjoyed several activities, and each child took home a book. Thanks to the OCPL for always being so supportive. They are an amazing resource. Be sure to check out their summer reading programs.

Second grade had a fantastic time working together to complete their Micronaut Mission at the Challenger Learning Center. They worked hard on building rockets and doing various astronaut training tasks.

Our teacher–student book club makes the most of lunchtime with thoughtful conversation, shared insights, and plenty of smiles. A great discussion and an even better time together!

Warwood second graders were feeling green on Earth Day! They cleaned up Garden Park. They picked up an impressive amount of garbage! They have also been growing flowers. Today they transplanted them into planters to put outside the school. Many of our students have also completed a Green Team Challenge, where they completed ten tasks to help the Earth.
