The Middle School had their second annual House Volleyball tournament today. The House System is a dynamic, exciting, and proven way to create a positive climate and culture for students and staff. The kids had a blast playing volleyball, building character, relationships, and school spirit.









Today was Middle School 3rd quarter PBIS reward day. Students were rewarded with a day filled with games, snacks and fun.
Keep working hard PSMS!!





Mrs. Backs 5th grade science class did sound experiments to determine how different vibrations cause different pitches . They used tuning forks and made harmonicas.
Way to go 5th grade!!

Thank you, Mr. Morton!


🌟 Elementary Family Night 🎉 From ELA activities to math games, we exercised our minds and had a blast! The snack station featuring Rice Krispies stop lights satisfied our sweet tooth, and the art station brought out our creative sides. Finally, we struck some poses at the photo station. What a fun evening! ❤️✨

Staff, Students, Parents, and Members of our Community,
It is with immense pride that we celebrate a truly historic moment for our school. For the first time since the legendary run of the 1957 Gratis Trojans, our boys basketball team has achieved an extraordinary feat — they have advanced to the Ohio State Final Four!
This Friday night, at 8:30 PM, our team will showcase their talent, determination, and sportsmanship at the UD Arena in Dayton, Ohio. As we prepare to cheer on our boys in what promises to be a thrilling encounter, we must also ensure that each and every member of our community has the opportunity to support our team in person.
Therefore, to facilitate a smooth and timely journey to Dayton for all our supporters, we have decided to implement an early dismissal this Friday, March 22. The high school and middle school will dismiss at 11:30 AM, while our elementary and preschool students will be released at 12:30 PM. Rest assured, all students will be provided with lunch prior to dismissal.
Furthermore, special transportation arrangements have been made for our MVCTC students, who will be picked up at 11:00 AM to ensure their return to campus. Our Project Life and PCESC students will also be collected at this time and taken to their usual drop-off locations.
For those attending, please be aware that tickets for this historic event are exclusively available online. With a full house expected at UD Arena, I urge you to secure your tickets well in advance to avoid disappointment.
As we come together in anticipation and hope, let us take a moment to celebrate the dedication of our Boys Basketball team. Their journey thus far has been nothing short of remarkable, and we stand behind them, united, as they prepare to make their mark on the court.
Let the echoes of our cheers reach them loud and clear: Congratulations to our team, and Go Arrows!
Thank you, and let's bring home a victory!

HISTORY! For the 1st time in school history, Preble Shawnee boys basketball wins the Regional Final and is heading to the Final 4! Shawnee takes down Versailles 53-32. Shrout leads the Arrows with 28.


🍀Today was all things St. Patrick's Day at Preble Shawnee Elementary! From leprechaun traps to an Irish-dancing kindergarten teacher (Mrs. Holmes), math activities with Lucky Charms, and the color green everywhere, the St. Patrick's fun was in no short supply!🍀
