🦃🍁 Happy Thanksgiving, Shiloh! 🍂🍽️
In this season of thanks, we express our gratitude for each and every one of you—students, parents, teachers, and staff. We hope you're enjoying extra time with friends and family.
Some families are lucky enough to work together at Shiloh. Our Shiloh family coworkers: Angie Allen and children Noah and Phoebe Allen; sisters Julia North and Natalie Thompson; Elizabeth Smothers and daughter Hannah Climaco; Tarne Mixson and daughters Kylie Mixson and Katrina Maxedon (not pictured: daughter and school board member Kyrie Mixson).
The fall break edition of the "Shiloh Shout Out" is here a few days early with junior Kennedy Brown.

The junior high played music bingo as a surprise celebration for everyone who had As, Bs, and Cs.
Partnership in Parenting gathered for their November group to celebrate reading and Thanksgiving. The theme was "Turkey Tales and Tails," so they read a rhyming tale, "Five Silly Turkeys" by Salina Yoon. Then, they made turkey tails by using markers to color coffee filters and attaching them to clothes pins. Families worked together to add eyes, beaks and wattles for the turkeys' faces.
For snack, the children used their small muscle skills to smash graham crackers into crumbs and smoosh pudding and pumpkin together to make Pumpkin Pie in a Bag.
Each child chose a turkey book to take home, and one lucky family won a real turkey to gobble up on Thanksgiving Day! Several PIP-Squeaks and their families were home sick, so they were sent healthy wishes for quick recoveries.
The 2023-2024 season kicked off last night with the Turkey Tourney - let’s show our pride by wearing a different color each night. Tonight is ORANGE and Wednesday will be BLUE! Come out and support the New Tri-County Titans as we face the Martinsville Bluestreaks!
The newest "Shiloh Shout Out" comes to you all the way from Chicago and features school board member Renee Henry.

Indiana State University's American Society of Mechanical Engineers hosted a STEM Day for Shiloh's fourth and fifth graders. Students were introduced to what STEM is all about and participated in five hands-on STEM labs including: balloon-powered cars, catapults, electrical circuits, color-changing slime, and electrical circuits.
Students were also treated to a visit from Sycamore Sam who performed an elephant toothpaste demonstration. Event sponsor North American Lighting shared with students a real-life example of STEM in action: the invention and continued development of headlights. STEM Day concluded with a presentation of $3,000 worth of STEM materials for the fourth and fifth grade classrooms.
We are excited to share the news that Shiloh will begin having a trained, certified therapy dog through the Alliance of Therapy Dogs (ATD). You can come meet Vinnie and Mary, his owner, at Family Reading Night on November 15 from 5:30-7:00 pm.
