KME Student is Legislator For a Day

Zoe Lenney, a fourth grade student in Mrs. Jane Weed’s class at Kings Mills Elementary,

was chosen as a winner in the Legislator for a Day Essay Contest. Ohio State Representative

Ron Maag sponsors an Essay Contest each year where he asks elementary students to write

about a famous person in Warren County. This year, 35 elementary students from South-

west Ohio were invited to the State Capitol in Columbus to participate as a Legislator for a

Day. Zoe’s winning essay was about Dr. Joseph Warren, the gentleman who Warren County

was named after.

While at the Statehouse, Zoe and her fellow student legislators learned

how a bill is passed and then participated in a mock session where they

worked on three separate bills. After the mock session, the students

and their parents took a tour of the statehouse and had the opportuni-

ty to ask questions with Representatives Maag and Paul Zeltwanger.

Representative Maag’s Office said that they really enjoy this special

day. Maag said, “It’s important to keep young people involved in gov-

ernment.”

Summer Educational Resources

Are you looking for something for your students to do

this summer to keep their minds fresh? Research

shows that most students lose 2-3 months of grade

level math equivalency over the summer. The Kings

Local School Curriculum and Instruction Department is delighted to inform you

about some programs available to help reverse summer learning loss and be pre-

pared for next school year.

An hour a week is all it takes for your child to strengthen his/her math skills, and

prepare for the year ahead. The TenMarks Summer Math Program will guide

your child through their personalized program, one topic at a time, helping them

refresh what they know, and learn what they don’t know. Each assignment con-

tains embedded instructions (hints, video lessons, and interventions) to help your

child refresh concepts from the past year and prepare for the ones ahead. For

more information on how to access the summer math program click here.

Also this summer, the Butler County Educational Service Center is offering Sum-

mer Enrichment Programs all throughout the summer. For more information

click here.
