The students enjoyed some Jitter Juice to help get rid of their first-day-of-school jitters. They also played a team-building activity where they had to balance paper on their heads!
On Thursday, the Colerain High School mascot, band, cheerleaders, and football players came for a pep rally to encourage students to come to the game on 9/11/26. Students will get to walk on the field with the team and get a free hot dog, chips, and a drink for participating. Check out some photos from the Pep Rally!

April is School Library Month, but at Colerain Elementary School, Jenny Spitzley works hard to create a library culture that celebrates literacy year-round!
In October, students from Mrs. Gall’s 5th-grade class turned pumpkins into their favorite book characters, and they were displayed in the library for all to see.
In December, students got in the holiday spirit with a celebration of The Polar Express.
To celebrate Read Across America Week in March, students participated in fun book-themed days. Favorite book character day was definitely the best! Students got to shop for books of their own at the Scholastic book fair.
Thank you, Mrs. Spitzley, for spreading the love of reading to Colerain Elementary students all year long!

Today, we celebrate the joy of reading and the power of books to inspire, educate, and entertain. Let’s take a moment to appreciate the writers who bring their imaginations to life and tell stories that transport us to new worlds. Happy reading!
Last week, we celebrated the start of another year of Kids in School Rule! (KISR)—a collaboration with Hamilton County Job & Family Services and the Legal Aid Society of Greater Cincinnati. KISR! ensures that education is a high priority for students in foster care and puts them on the path to academic success and high school graduation. It supports students in foster care with additional resources like incentives, enrichment, and tutoring.
Nationally, only 58% of students in foster care graduate from high school. Last year, 91% of the KISR! students at NWLSD graduated!
We recognized some of the KISR liaisons, counselors, and administrators that make this program a success with the KISR GOAT awards🐐:
- Rae Lawson
- Samantha Hudson
- Virginia “Ginnie” Schueler
- Special Education Department
- Struble Elementary team
