Our second graders in Kristen Freudenrich’s class have been busy learning all about clouds and weather! They read Tornado by Betsy Byars, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs by Judi Barrett, and Clouds by Tomie dePaola to learn how clouds form and what they can tell us about weather. To bring their learning to life, students created their own “Cloud in a Bottle.” By building up air pressure inside a bottle and releasing it quickly, they watched a cloud form right before their eyes!

🇺🇸 Honoring Our Heroes at Mathews Schools 🇺🇸
Mathews High School held its annual Veterans Day ceremony, bringing students and staff together to honor the men and women who have served our nation.
The program began with the National Anthem, followed by student readers who shared the history of our armed forces, highlighting major conflicts throughout U.S. history. Students and staff with family members who served were recognized as each era was acknowledged. A White Table display in the cafeteria provided a meaningful reminder of those missing in action or held as prisoners of war, giving students a chance to learn about the symbolism behind each item.
Meanwhile, at Mathews Elementary, Mrs. McIntyre’s 5th grade ELA students wrote letters and created artwork to show appreciation for our veterans. Some letters were taken home to share with family members, and the rest will be delivered to local veterans clubs to honor their service.
Thank you to all who have served. Your courage and sacrifice are appreciated!

Mathews High School is proud to recognize three students who recently took part in Civic Day, an event that offers students a firsthand look at how local government and public service operate.
Rilee Paddock spent the day with Charles Ciapala, Veterans Service Officer at the Trumbull County Veterans Service Commission. Alexis Cornelius shadowed Robert Patton, Presiding Judge of the 11th Court of Appeals, gaining valuable insight into the judicial process, and Kylie Garrett joined George Garrett, Principal of Mathews High School, to learn more about leadership within the education system.

With guidance from the Vienna Historical Society, our 6th grade students explored the Vienna Township Cemetery this morning, learning about the lives of the area’s early settlers and the stories behind the symbolism found on tombstones. Historical Society members shared stories about the cemetery’s origins, which date back to 1805, and pointed out the graves of notable figures such as Ithel F. Mathews, a name that continues to live on through the district’s schools.

Our kindergarten students are on the move! As part of their science lesson on the changing seasons, our students took a walk around the school to the other side of the football stadium to look for signs of fall. They found colorful leaves, acorns, and even a pumpkin on a neighbor’s porch! After their walk, they got creative and drew pictures of everything they saw. 🍁🖍️

In Mrs. Leslie Konerth’s class, students participated in a Gallery Walk to deepen their understanding of history. Before beginning, they learned the difference between primary and secondary sources. The Gallery Walk featured powerful primary source images from 9/11. Students spent 15 minutes observing and recording their interpretations before coming together to share their insights as a class.
