Shawnee Local School District is proud to be recognized as a Purple Star School District by the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce! All four of our buildings have earned this designation, highlighting our significant commitment to serving students and families connected to our nation’s military.
Last week, our building liaisons led a meaningful spirit week in recognition of our military-connected families. Students and families at Elmwood, Maplewood and the Middle School shared time together over lunch, and each building proudly participated in “Purple Up!” day--showing appreciation and unity across our district.
If you missed the opportunity to order a Purple Star shirt for “Purple Up!” day, a spirit store remains open through May 3: https://shawneespring26.itemorder.com/shop/home/
Military family resources and liaison contact information are always available on our website: https://www.limashawnee.com/page/military-families-resources
