Learning comes alive at CHS - and so does community service!
Mrs. Wheeler and Mr. Constant’s U.S. History classes wrapped up their Roaring Twenties unit today with a “speakeasy” celebration… that was promptly busted up by Officer Hogan. Unfortunately for us, Officer Hogan does not accept bribes, and our carbonated contraband was officially confiscated! It was a fun, memorable way to reinforce learning and keep students engaged.
We also want to celebrate the incredible partnership between our students and community organizations. Xi Alpha Kappa (Chillicothe chapter) member Julie Barnes stopped by with muffins to thank our CHS Key Club students for volunteering to paint faces at Chautauqua. Julie shared how the face painting supports charity programs - and we’re proud to see our students using their time and talents to make a difference.
These moments reflect what we’re working toward every day in Chillicothe Schools:
Student Success & Learning through engaging, meaningful experiences
Strong Culture & Communication through positive connections and celebration
Staff Engagement that makes learning fun and impactful
Safety & Security thanks to supportive community partners like Officer Hogan
Building a Brighter Future for our children and our community - together.

Please join us in celebrating Melissa Young, Chillicothe R-II Director of Student Support Services & Educational Technology, who received the Region 2 FCCLA Outstanding Administrator Award at the Region 2 Meeting on October 14 at the University of Central Missouri.
This award recognizes an administrator who encourages FCCLA chapters and supports their school’s Family & Consumer Sciences (FCS) program - and Mrs. Young truly does just that. In addition to volunteering her time to evaluate FCCLA STAR Events competitions, she consistently works to identify grants and funding sources that support innovative projects in our FCS Department and create unique learning opportunities for students.
This past year, Mrs. Young also helped gain the support and funding needed for our district to offer Teaching Pathways as part of our FCS course offerings through the Grand River Technical School.
Congratulations, Mrs. Young - and thank you for the difference you make for our students and staff every day!

Thank you to everyone who came out last night to make our PTO and Title I-sponsored Fall Family Fun Night such a memorable evening for our CES families. The building was full of smiles, laughter, and learning - and it truly was a phenomenal community event.
We’re incredibly grateful for our partners who helped bring this night to life: Table Top Farms, the Cattleman’s Association, GRTS’ Hospitality & Tourism program, Law Farms, and the Chillicothe FFA-sponsored petting zoo. A special thank-you as well to Katie Kerr with the Livingston County Library, who was on hand for storytelling - what a wonderful way to bring families together around books and learning!
We also loved seeing the many hands-on, ag-related stations throughout the night, as well as the fantastic stations created by Ms. Acree and Mrs. Leatherman’s classes. Our students and families had so many engaging ways to explore agriculture, literacy and STEM activities together.
Events like this are a great example of what we strive for in Chillicothe Schools - Student Success & Learning through real-world experiences, Strong Culture & Communication by bringing families into our schools, and Staff Engagement and community partnerships that make learning meaningful. Thank you for helping us continue Building a Brighter Future For Our Children And Our Community.

CHS Chemistry was full of lift-off yesterday in Amy Adams’ class!
Students put their knowledge of chemical reactions to work by building mini-rockets. They generated hydrogen and oxygen gases through chemical reactions, collected the gases over water, and then used those gases as fuel to launch their rockets - aiming to send them straight through the uprights for a “field goal.”
Result: 100% success!!
This is a great example of how we’re Building a Brighter Future for Our Children and Our Community through engaging, real-world learning. Experiences like this support our district goals around Student Success & Learning, Staff Engagement, and a strong culture where students are excited to learn.
Great work, students - and thank you, Amy Adams, for making science come alive!
