The Americanism and Government Test program is a joint venture and partnership with the Ohio American Legion Auxiliary, a cosponsor of the program. The test consists of fifty (50) True/False, multiple choice, and fill-in the blank questions. Every student taking the test also writes a 300 word essay on the same topic.
Through a number of judging levels in the state of Ohio to select Post, County, and District winners, the initial field of 65,000 students is narrowed to 84 district winners, whose winning test papers are submitted to a State Judging Committee for this program. District winners are submitted to a State Judging Committee to select the State Award winners. Congratulations Andrew, Caiden, Kelly and Emily on your advancement to the County level!

Shawnee Township Fire Department provided Fire Safety instruction to all Elmwood students. Students practiced how to stop, drop and roll and how to crawl low to the ground in a smoke filled house. In addition, students learned the importance of changing batteries in their smoke detectors, experienced how a firefighter would look and sound while in full gear, and had their picture taken dressed as a future Shawnee firefighter. Thank you to all the firefighters that supported our children on this fun day. We look forward to it every year!
