We're excited to see the potential of this expansion fulfilled in the coming years, congratulations to Upper Valley Career Center on their continued growth and unique opportunities they provide for students!
The Career Connections team has been visiting 2nd graders all over Miami County sharing smiles, conversations, and a read-aloud of the fun and inspiring career-themed book "There's A Hat For That" by Dr. Kevin Fleming!
Thanks to a contribution from Upper Valley Career Center, every 2nd grade classroom in Miami County will now have a set of books that provides students an introduction to the different career clusters and unique skills they may need to have an exciting career after high school graduation.
Pictured is our ESC Career Navigator, Kristi Voisard, reading to students at Miami East Elementary School and Broadway Elementary School in Tipp City helping our youngest learners discover that there’s a career hat for everyone! #CareerNavigation #MiamiCountyESC
Special guest at the Miami County ESC office!🎅
Santa made the trip down from the North Pole just for our ESC families😊 Adults enjoyed donuts and coffee while the kiddos made their lists and colored, then came time to tell Santa what they wanted for Christmas. Everyone had a blast; tons of smiles, and not a lump of coal in sight this year! #SantaDay2025
Mrs. Grumpp's class modeled the Moon's phases from New Moon🌚 to Full Moon🌝, and back again, showing the entire cycle! A fun, hands-on way to see how the Moon changes throughout the month (and yes, of course they finished by munching on some Oreos!).

Our preschool students got active last week for Thanksgiving! Mrs. Stahl's class started with a themed obstacle course crafted by their Physical and Occupational Therapists. After they blew off some steam and completed the course, they enjoyed a friendship fruit salad with the other classes. Their day ended with a whole-school music and movement activity🕺🎶💃. Great job to our staff for providing unique experiences to their classrooms, and great job students knocking out that obstacle course! 😉

🍗Recapping our eventful Thanksgiving celebrations — Mrs. Etter's preschool class at Washington Primary hosted a Thanksgiving Feast where parents were invited for story time and yummy food! Huge thanks to the parents who took the time out of their day to participate, those smiles on our student's faces tell us all we need to know!☺️ #Family #ThanksgivingFeast #MiamiCountyESC
Mrs. Ruzicka’s class at Tippecanoe HS had a busy November . . .🦃
First, class took a trip to Aldi so they could shop for the school's food drive while also developing real-life skills such as shopping for items off of a grocery list and then checking out. They took a detour to return completed condiment packets to McDonald’s and enjoyed some McD's for lunch with the employee discount. Next, they celebrated “Friendsgiving” with Ms. B’s class at Bob Evans while practicing their social skills. To cap off their month, They had a great trip to the Boonshoft Museum with Ms. B’s class to learn more about both outer space and animals.
Last but not least - due to the generosity of our students and their parents and the students’ hard work sorting and counting food items for the food drive, THEY WON THE 500 TURKEYS competition so Mrs. R donned the turkey suit! What a jam-packed month and an awesome classroom to be part of!

Students acted out visits to the dentist, helping them feel more comfortable with new experiences and strengthening their social-emotional skills. They explored what dentists do, looked at some of the tools they use, and talked about why taking care of our teeth is so important.
The children also practiced proper brushing techniques, building confidence and healthy habits through engaging, interactive activities. We’re proud of how curious and enthusiastic the students were to participate! #DentalHygiene #OralHealth #MiamiCountyESC
Mrs. Smith's class at TJHS has been collecting cans and saving up the money they earn for a special project. Last week, they were able to visit the Miami County Recycling Center and see what happens to the cans after they crush them. This visit their total haul weighed in at 96lbs of cans! #Recycling #MiamiCountyESC ♻️
We're back from our short Turkey break, and the weather's starting to change❄️🥶 Here's some flicks of the activities from the many Thanksgiving celebrations across our classrooms!
Mrs. Balkcom's class blended literacy and writing skills with the holiday theme by writing out what they are most thankful for this Thanksgiving, look at those proud smiles😊 #Thanksgiving #Thankful #MiamiCountyESC
