STEM Students Win 2014 Dayton JCOWA Quiz Bowl!

Each year, the DRSS chapter of the Dayton Junior Council on World Affairs competes against schools across the Dayton area. 

This year we are thrilled to announce that STEM students Tess Greene, Tyler Lutz, Zach Marker and David Sills placed 1st this year! The team will be heading off to Washington D.C. to compete in the National JCOWA Quiz Bowl on April 25th to compete against teams from schools across the country.

We are also extremely pleased to announce that other teams from STEM's JCOWA chapter (collectively known as JAWS COMET) did extremely well too. JAWS COMET had four teams in the top three spots (two teams tied for 2nd place) and six teams in the top ten. There were 65 teams competing from ten schools at the event.  

For a look at what JCOWA means to our STEM students, check out the following video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aou5LXKzJj8

Great job JAWS COMET!

First Annual ACE Week at the Dayton Regional STEM School

During the week of February 10-13 we will be kicking off our first annual ACE week at the Dayton Regional STEM School.  ACE stands for “an Accepting Culture for Everyone”. 

Some highlights of the week include:

• DRSS students will wear blue ribbons as a pledge to stand up to bullying behavior and to remind each other that an accepting school culture takes effort on everyone’s part
• Students will watch a video or read a story about the long-term effects of bullying
• Students will have the opportunity to provide public comment on “How we can improve our school culture” and “What an ACE culture looks like to you”
• Daily public announcements written by DRSS students will focus on topics related to ACE

We will focus on fostering a school environment where students feel safe and positive behavioral choices are the norm.    We are developing a school culture that takes an effort by the students, parents and staff of the Dayton Regional STEM School.
