These are great NEW resources on digital devices for teens .
Brief summary of YD1917: The widespread use of cell phones by teenagers raises the concern of the negative effects it could have on their performance in school. However, teachers can work with their students to incorporate effective cell phone use into the classroom. When used appropriately, cell phones can enhance class participation and allow students to access current information.
Brief summary of YD1918: Digital devices play an important role in the daily lives of teens. While they do offer many benefits, they can also expose teens to cyberbullying and other harmful effects that can be detrimental to a teen's health and overall development. Parents should be actively involved in their teens' lives and educate themselves about digital devices and social media so they can provide adequate support.

Mrs Jones & the 4th Graders Share the True Spirit of Christmas
I wanted to share a fun project that the 4th graders have been working on. We made tie pillows in class and collected some sweet treats that the residents at the Group Home would enjoy. With the advice of Pam Hornbacher, we knew what each resident would like.
We made our deliveries to the Wells County Social Services with gift bags of just pillows. Then we delivered the extra special gifts to the residents at the Group Home. The residents we’re not there yet so she had us place each carefully wrapped package under their tree. Finally we made our way back to the school, it was a memorable fun experience for all.
The 3rd graders demonstrated patience along with their creativity while decorating their cookies! We also learned some decorating techniques for the type of icing we had made. Thank you to Miss Pifer and her students for helping us!
