RACINE, OHIO- On Thursday, November 30, 2023, students at Southern Local Junior High School learned about careers in cosmetology.
Jodi Ditterline, an Education Specialist from Great Clips, spoke to the 7th and 8th grade students about the different career paths within cosmetology, such as hair, skin, and nails. She also provided information on the education required to become a hair stylist or barber, including the associated costs and necessary skills for the job.
During the event, Jodi allowed the students to use her expensive hair tools to cut and buzz cosmetology mannequins, providing them with hands-on experience in the field. Thank you Jodi.
We would like to extend our gratitude to the junior high teachers for their support in organizing this valuable career exploration experience for the students.
Ms. Meeks' Greenhouse class has been caring for herbs in a 49 day trail for Growing Beyond Earth Grant. They are studying/learning how plants are grown in space and conducting research for NASA. Unfortunately our studies did not turn out as good as we had hoped, our herbs were slow growers and we think the cause is from inadequate watering early on which caused our growing media to stay dry throughout. We will conduct this study again later on in hopes for better results.

The OVIC aims to promote cultural diversity and break down stereotypes through engaging presentations. The OVIC plays a pivotal role in enhancing cultural and global consciousness in Southeast Ohio. The students learned what microaggressions are, how they can affect a person, how to recognize them, and how they can stop using them among their fellow peers. The students had the opportunity to speak with students from Ohio University about their own culture and their own experiences with microaggressions.

RACINE, OH- With Thanksgiving quickly approaching, first graders at Southern Elementary in Racine were given a fun assignment that included their families.
First-grade teacher Sharon Gantt said the works of art on display in the halls are turkeys in disguise. The students worked with their parents or guardians to come up with creative ideas. There are different disguises including a unicorn, Hulk, Barbie and a clown.
The assignment stemmed from a book they read called “Turkey Trouble,” by Wendi Silvano.
Great job first graders!
Tomorrow (November 16) is our last picture retake makeup day.
Baylee Grueser was honored on Tuesday November 15th, 2023 after her proposal was chosen as one of the recipients of the Meigs Foundation grants! The Meigs County Foundation Board was very impressed with Baylee’s passion for her art program. The grant awarded Baylee with $2,000 dollars to be used with her Art Class. Baylee’s speech talked about how she was proud to come back as a graduate of Southern Local and bring back Art to grades 3-12. This money will help her purchase more paint related items and canvases and hopefully expand into photography, printmaking, and maybe even some pottery.
