Students spend months working on these cars to help give kids more independence, mobility, and fun. Seeing the families pick them up during the event is always such a special moment. 👏🛻✨

Such a great example of students using their skills to make a real difference in the lives of others!

Beginning July 1, 2026, a new Indiana state law (SB 78) will require all K-12 schools to implement a “bell-to-bell” restriction on personal wireless devices during the school day.

This means cell phones, smartwatches, earbuds, headphones, and other personal smart devices must be powered off and inaccessible throughout the school day.

We understand this change may be frustrating for some students and families. While Perry Township Schools is required to follow Indiana state law, we are currently working with teachers to identify other resources that comply with the law to meet student needs that personal devices may have supported in the past.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support.

Earlier this year, preschoolers in Ms. Hauber’s class created drawings inspired by the book “Color Monsters.” Those drawings were then sent over to the Rosa Parks Elementary Student Council, who turned them into real stuffed animals through a sewing project. 🧵💛

This week, the Rosa Parks Elementary Student Council took a trip to the preschool to surprise the students with the finished creations!

Such a sweet project that let students be creative, work together, and do something really meaningful for the preschoolers.
