Breaking news! 🏆 ✈️
Right before school was dismissed for summer at the end of the 2023-2024 school year, Briella Hall was intrigued by a thought about paper airplanes. 💭 After some research, she found the world's smallest paper airplane based off of the Kids World Records website. She decided that she was going to attempt to break this record!
After multiple attempts inside and outside the classroom, she finally had a paper airplane that would beat the previous record!
She sent in her pictures and evidence to their website, and as of today, she has officially broken this record!
"The Smallest Paper Airplane in the Girls' 7-9 year old Category is 0.07 Inch (2 mm) and was completed by Briella in New Castle IN US on May 21, 2024."
Way to go, Briella! 👏🏻

South Henry School Corporation bus 15 was involved in a rear end accident this morning on US40. All children have been evaluated and are okay. They have been transferred to a different bus to finish their route. This bus route will be delayed. Thank you.
South Henry School Corporation's social media pages were created to push out important information to the Titan family and to lift up and celebrate the awesome work of our students and staff. While we try hard to be super heroes for children daily, we still haven't quite figured out the art of being in three places at once. For this reason, if you ever have an incredible accomplishment that may be worthy of celebrating, please feel free to email them to the below contacts and we will do our best to post, if appropriate.

Great things are happening at South Henry!
Just about a month has passed since a normal school day turned into something much different for one of Tri Elementary School's wonderful students, Easton. On April 17th, 2024, a simple game of tag, no different than what occurs on any given school day, turned into a potentially life-threatening situation due to a freak accident. Though upon first glance the injury did not appear to be serious, teacher Mrs. Solomon kept close watch on Easton and made the life-saving decision to send him into the nurse for further assessment. Upon arrival, Mrs. Shelby Hall trusted her judgment and made yet again another life-saving decision to call 911.
It is frequently stated that “every moment matters, and in this case, every moment truly did matter more than anyone may have realized in the moment. Because of the swift actions taken by Mrs. Hall and Mrs. Solomon, Easton is now on the road to recovery.
At Tuesday night's Board meeting, school nurse Shelby Hall and teacher Alyssa Solomon were honored for their quick acts that ultimately may have saved the Easton's life. Surrounded by their own family and friends, and the family of the student, Mrs. Hall and Mrs. Solomon received "You Make a Difference" Challenge Coins. Additionally, Easton's family donated a weeping cherry tree, now planted outside the nurses office, in honor of their swift and heroic acts.
The following statement from the Easton's family was read at the meeting:
"We would like to express our gratitude to Mrs. Solomon and Mrs. Hall. We cannot thank you enough for the awareness and quick action you both took that day. Both of you played a huge part in saving Easton's life and we will never be able to repay you for that. We wanted to do something for both of you. We purchased a weeping cherry tree to plant here at Tri in honor of you. Every time you see it please remember how wonderful you are and how thankful we are for you. Also, thank you to Mrs. Emily Hamm, Mr. Duncan and the entire staff at Tri Elementary for all of the thoughts, prayers, gifts and cards for Easton. We would also like to thank Abby Davis and her crew for being so wonderful working with us to get the tree planted. We are truly blessed our kids are Titans."
We are so grateful for Mrs. Hall and Mrs. Solomon for trusting their instincts. Additionally, we will forever be grateful that a day that started like many others, turned into a day to celebrate our blessings rather than something much different.
Due to the forecast of rain/thunderstorms tomorrow, we have made the decision to postpone Spring Olympics. The event will now take place on the rain date--Monday, May 20th.
While we were eagerly looking forward to tomorrow's festivities, the safety and enjoyment of all participants are our top priorities. We believe rescheduling the event will ensure a better experience for everyone involved.
We kindly ask that volunteers (classroom parent or event) who are no longer able to serve on Monday, please reach out to your classroom teacher as soon as possible.
Thank you for your understanding and flexibility!

Last week, our TEDEd club presented their speeches at STEAM night!
These students have been working extremely hard to create and present their speeches in front of an audience. We are extremely proud of these students! Thank you, Miss Mattix, for leading this group and mentoring them.
Here are some words from Miss Mattix: "At STEAM night, TEDEd students presented their speeches!! They have worked incredibly hard to research and write about their passions, create their presentations, and practice their speeches. I could not be prouder of them! They were just a little nervous about speaking in front of a lot of people, but they rocked it!"
Way to go, Titans!
Good evening, TES! Our elementary students have the opportunity to visit the Barnyard tomorrow! They will also have the opportunity to purchase flowers. Please make sure money is sent in with their names in a baggie or envelope. Thank you to our FFA for making this possible! 🌺
