Due to the large number of instructional days that have been missed due to inclement weather, the Ohio Achievement Assessments for Grades 3-8 have been moved back on the District calendar. They will now take place one week later, on May 6, 7 and 8. Please note these dates on your family calendar so that planned absences or appointments from school can be avoided. 

Fifteen Kenston students and three teachers travelled to France on April 10.  The students were hosted for 5 days by families in Evreux, Normandy and spent a day in a French school.  The group then went to Paris where they visited the Louvre, Musee d'Orsay, Notre Dame, Sacre Coeur, the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe and Versailles.  Standing on the banks of the Iton River are: (standing, l-r) Lukas Palumbo, Will Bush, Makenzie Kless, Ashley Bernett, Sarah Porter, Rachel Tuskes, Ashley Dvorak, Jordan Henry, Caroline Lucey, Mrs. Brenda Bush Wahl, Mackensie Bush, Sierra Culver, Emily McDonough and Sydney Winovich; (kneeling, l-r)  Becca Dennis,  Mrs. Gretchen Fruchter, Brenda Bauck and Mrs. Jackie Ward.
