Running is Elementary 2024 is in the Books!
The “Running is Elementary” program wrapped up its 2024 season with the main race at Elm Road Elementary School yesterday. The event saw enthusiastic participation from 4th and 5th grade students, both boys and girls, who competed in a 1-mile course that tested their endurance and speed.
The annual program, aimed at promoting fitness and healthy lifestyles among elementary school students, brought together participants from various schools in the area.
Parents and teachers cheered from the sidelines as students dashed toward the finish line, each striving to put forth their best effort. The event not only highlighted the physical capabilities of the students but also emphasized the importance of physical education in the school curriculum.
The “Running is Elementary” program has been a key event in the community’s calendar for the last 15 years, fostering a sense of unity and encouraging children to adopt active lifestyles. Special thanks to the P-H-M Education Foundation for making it possible!

2023 Instrument Selection Night – Monday, March 13 and Tuesday, March 14
Grissom
Monday, March 13 and Tuesday, March 14
4:30 – 7:30 p.m.
Penn-Harris-Madison School Corporation is nationally recognized as one of the “Best Communities for Music Education” offering choir, band and orchestra at Schmucker, Discovery and Grissom Middle Schools.
Every P-H-M 5th grader who will be attending a P-H-M middle school as an incoming 6th grader in the Fall 2023 has the opportunity to join an instrumental music class, which includes either band or orchestra. “Instrument Selection Night” is when students and families get to make their choice!
In order to join 6th grade band or orchestra, students must select an instrument that they will learn throughout their time in their chosen class. Our Instrument Selection Nights are designed with the intention of helping your child make this decision.
At “Instrument Selection Night,” a music professional will be available to give students advice about which instrument may be best suited for them. They will be allowed to “try out” instruments from various instrument groups. Click here to visit the expansive website with more details on on Instrument Selection Night.
You will sign up for an appointment at one of our Instrument Selection Nights. Try to sign up at the middle school where your child will attend. If those dates do not work, you may sign up for one of the other nights. Click here to sign up.

The NED Show Comes to Meadows Edge
On Wednesday, September 7th, 2022, our students were treated to an assembly that delivered a message of positivity with yo-yo’s!
The NED Show believes that there’s a Champion in EVERY Child. NED stands for:
Never give up
Encourage others
Do your best.
“NED” was also the main character in the show. He was represented as a life-size image that stood next to the host who interacted with NED as if he was real.
“My name stands for Never give up, Encourage others, and Do your best!
For 32 years, I’ve been on stage with incredible live performers. Together, we’ve impacted millions of kids with messages like showing kindness, doing your best, and having an awesome mindset for learning. When we do a school-wide assembly, we make it so entertaining and fun that kids remember and talk about it forever! We also make hundreds of printable resources for teachers and parents. I hope you’ll check it all out!” (Courtesy of the NED website)
By using yo-yo’s to pull off fantastic tricks, it kept the mood light and fun while providing an excellent avenue to deliver the message of positivity.

Promise Fulfilled For Class of 2020!
When schools were shut down in the Spring of 2020 and field days were canceled, Principal Gary Gardner made a promise to our 5th grade students that they would be welcomed back to say a proper “Goodbye”.
Promises were made and those promises were kept on Monday, May 23rd, 2022. That’s when students who were in 5th grade in 2020 came back for “Pizza on the Playground”.
Approximately 30 students and their families came back to see old friends and former teachers.
In addition to the fun of seeing everybody again, this event held deeper meaning for some of the attendees.
“Thank you so much. This is all my son has been talking about since the email came out.” said one parent.
Oh, The Places You’ll Go!
For “Read Across America” week we had a different theme each day to encourage literacy.
On Monday, February 28th we were inspired by the Dr. Seuss classic “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” and asked our students to dress up for the careers they would like to eventually go into!
