Day number four of our district-wide Red Ribbon Week was “put a lid on drugs”. Students were allowed to wear hats and they were asked to bring in canned food for the West Ohio Food Bank. Our students donated over 1,300 canned food items between the four buildings. When weighed at the food bank, it totaled 1,348 pounds of food! Pictured is staff from the West Ohio Food Bank with our Mental Health Coordinator Leigh Kempton. High School Principal Dylan Dronberger helped Mrs. Kempton with loading up and taking the food. Thanks to the generosity of our students and families, two vehicles were needed to transport the donations. We would like to say a huge thank you to our Shawnee families! This was a true testament to the amazing students and families we have in our district.
There is a scheduled 2-hour delay for students WEDNESDAY, October 25, 2023 for teacher in-service.
We won! Shawnee Local Schools will receive two $5,000 grants through the $1M+ @OSLN STEM Classroom Grant Program, funded by @Battelle https://osln.org/how-we-help/classroom-opportunities/classroom-grant-program/fall-2023-classroom-grant-awards/. Congratulations to the Technology Department!

Each month, Shawnee High School chooses a "Student of the Month" from each grade level in their building. Students are nominated on a monthly basis by their teachers, for their character and positive actions within the school. These students are recognized by the school for their upstanding character and behavior. Students awarded this title will receive a "Student of the Month Swag Bag" for their efforts. This includes a free event ticket (courtesy of SHS Drama for September winners), some treats from the Mental Health Coordinator, and various donations from area businesses. We would like to thank the following local businesses for their contributions to our Swag Bags:
Sara's Sweets
Shawnee Station
Kewpee Hamburgers
Westgate Entertainment Center
Biggby Coffee
Shawnee Schools received a Champion of Kindness certificate and 10 boxes of food, totaling over 2,000 meals through the OSU Extension SNAP-ED program. If you are a Shawnee family who would benefit from a food box, email Leigh Kempton: leighk@limashawnee.com
