Guest Readers Help Celebrate

Read Across America

In honor of the birthday of Dr. Seuss, schools across the district participated in Read Across America. Part of the festivities included guest readers presenting in many of our elementary school classrooms. Superintendent Dr. Dallas Jackson is shown above reading to students in Mrs. Sandy Coe's class at Mark Twain Elementary School.

The Miamisburg City School District is seeking input from members of its school community for suggestions of names for its newest school building. The new school building is located on Wood Road. This new facility will house 450 students in grades K-5. The completion of this building will help ease the overcrowding problem in elementary buildings across the district.

Community members interested in submitting a nomination must prepare a two-paragraph statement containing biographical and historical data and reasons justifying their school name choice. Submissions should be send to: Miamisburg City Schools, 540 E. Park Ave., Miamisburg, OH 45342, attn: Elementary School Naming Committee. All submissions are due no later than March 12. Submissions may be emailed to Communication Officer Jennifer Jones at jjones@miamisburg.k12.oh.us.

A committee comprised of administrators, staff members, community members, parents and students will review all community submissions and present selections to the Board of Education for review and approval.
