🎨🌲 From Parks to Posters: CMS Artists Explore National Treasures!
Our 7th and 8th grade Chillicothe Middle School artists recently wrapped up their National Parks project! 🎨🌲
Students began by researching their assigned park - highlighting its history, key features, and a featured artist - before recreating iconic park posters using paint or colored pencils.
Pictured are, from left to Right: Zaidee Miller (7th), Benson Bailey (8th),and Thatcher Tipton (8th).
These three students showed extraordinary skill, persistence, and dedication! Behind them is a small sample of the nearly 50 posters created by our 7th and 8th graders. CMS Art Teacher Aaron McQuinn says he can't wait to display all of their incredible talents when all 50 posters are displayed together for our Middle School Art Show near the beginning of 2027!
The Chillicothe Police Department’s School Resource Officer Division, in partnership with Chillicothe R-II Schools, is excited to introduce Hornets Show Strength - a district-wide campaign focused on bullying prevention, positive choices, inclusion, and student leadership!
Middle school brings new challenges - from friendships and peer pressure to rumors and social media. We’re helping students recognize harmful behavior, understand how their choices affect others, and do what’s right—even when it’s not the popular choice.
Everyone has a role in preventing bullying. Encouraging hurtful behavior, spreading rumors, joining in, or recording and sharing someone’s pain can add to the harm. Instead, we encourage students to:
🐝 Refuse to participate. 🐝 Include and support others. 🐝 Report concerns safely to a trusted adult.
Our campaign is built on three core principles: 💛 CHARACTER 💪 COMMITMENT 🦁 COURAGE
Through age-appropriate messaging, student involvement, and positive recognition, we’re building a culture where respect, accountability, and standing up for others are the norm.
📄 Parents and caregivers: Please review the attached flyer with your student and talk about making positive choices—in person and online.
REAL STRENGTH IS HAVING THE COURAGE TO DO WHAT’S RIGHT! 🐝
