Important Scholastic Book Fair Update!

We’re looking forward to seeing all our Shawnee families tomorrow morning at the Scholastic Book Fair!

Unfortunately, due to a technical issue with Scholastic’s systems, mobile payment options will not be available at the Book Fair. This means we cannot accept Apple Pay or Google Pay at this time.

Please plan to pay with cash, credit card, or eWallet.

Shop early for the best selection and the shortest lines!

Thank you for your understanding. We can’t wait to see you all tomorrow morning! Happy shopping!

A VIP NIGHT UNDER THE FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS!

Last night, 7 students earned an unforgettable VIP experience at the Xenia High School football game due to raising at least $500 for the walk-a-thon.

They were treated to a private pizza party, signed footballs from the players, swag bags, VIP sideline access, and the opportunity to be recognized and celebrated on the field in front of the crowd!

But what makes these 7 students truly special is that together, they raised an incredible $6,018 for Shawnee Elementary!

We are SO proud of their hard work and hope they made memories they will never forget! A huge thank-you to Xenia Athletics, the Xenia High School football team, and especially Athletic Director Nathan Kopp for helping make this experience so special!

And to top off an already amazing night… XENIA BROUGHT HOME THE WIN! 🏈🎉

What a night to be a Buccaneer! 💙🖤

Let's tackle this challenge together, Shawnee!
