What an exciting morning at McCormick’s Creek Elementary School!
MCES 4th grader, Lucas Minor, was selected as the winner of the Association of Indiana Counties writing contest for this district.
Lucas is a student in Mrs. Linda Barrett’s classroom. An interesting side note…this is the 4th time that Mrs. Barrett has had a winner in her classroom!
Owen County Councilman Anton Neff was on hand to present Lucas with his $100.00 award and a special poster congratulating Lucas for his efforts.
Josh and Jaime Minor, parents of Lucas, were able to surprise Lucas after his name was announced as the winner.
This year’s topic was Historical Landmarks in Indiana. Lucas chose to write about McCormick’s Creek State Park.
Congratulations, Lucas!
It’s that time of year again!

Check out these PES kindergarten students!
These kindergarten students at PES have been comparing and contrasting 2-D and 3-D shapes. They have been busy discovering if a shape is a flat or a solid and comparing vertices and sides. These budding mathematicians also experimented with turning a 2-D shape into a 3-D shape.
Great job, Kindergartners!
