On Veterans' Day, we extend our deepest thanks to all members of the Metro Schools community - teachers, parents, friends and family - who have served our country. Thank you for your service!

The Elementary Fall Fest incorporates a celebration of reading, as students and staff bring their favorite books to share and dress as characters from those stories. "We lose ourselves in books and find ourselves there, too!"

Metro Alumni: We want to hear from you! Whether you graduated recently or over a decade ago, we'd love a quick update on your journey since high school. Please take a moment to submit the survey linked and share it with other graduates in your social circle: https://forms.gle/CyZn84L9QCy4sqMZ6

Help spark interest in future career options by sharing your experience with Metro students at our M.S. Career Day November 19! You'll give two 40 minute presentations in one of two time frames (8:00-9:45am OR 10:00-11:30am). We'll supply the student learners! If you or a colleague would like to join us, contact Tim Latta for details (latta@themetroschool.org or 614-259-6639 ext. 1105) OR complete this form:

Veterans Day is Wednesday, November 11 and we want to celebrate all members of the Metro community who have served our country. If you have a veteran in your family, we want to include them in a presentation to be played on the school monitors next Wednesday. Check your email for the form to submit information by Friday!

Early college experiences begin…early! And they continue throughout the Metro student experience. From an Ohio State campus tour for 5th graders to the annual College Visit Day for high schoolers, we’re committed to helping students prepare for their future.

Exposure to Ohio State grants endless opportunities, as 5th graders discovered in a collaboration with artist Igshaan Adams. They created paper beads that Adams incorporated into a tapestry commissioned by OSU, then got a chance to meet him and see his work.

Amazing ideas came together at our 2nd annual Metro Elementary Global Cardboard Challenge! Families explored building supplies and techniques to create original designs. We hope you’ll join us in October 2027 for the next Cardboard Challenge! Powered by imagination. Built by families.

Learning Comes to Life: Students in grades 3, 4 & 5 learn about a variety of animals and their habitats on their first off-campus field trip. What a beautiful day to explore the Columbus Zoo & Aquarium!

Thanks to Kristen Thompson and TJ Brown from AEP for providing valuable feedback to student teams as they work on prototypes for this year's OSLN Design Challenge: "Develop a plan, system, or product to make the future of manufacturing possible in new places."

Join us at Metro Elementary (1929 Kenny Road) on Saturday, Oct. 24 at 9am for our Cardboard Design Challenge! Bring the whole family for a morning of fun activities, then walk to OSU's West Fest for additional STEM fun starting at 11am.

2nd graders visit Blendon Woods Metro Park & Lynd's Fruit Farm to see their ELA lessons come to life. As part of autumn reading units, students explore the distinct characteristics of the fall season and learn about the connection between honey bees and growing fruit.

Career Exploration: Students learn about gene therapy research and the impact of scientific discoveries in the lives of patients during a visit to Andelyn Biosciences. Thanks to Pamela, Reann, Ferro and Erik for helping Metro students make the connection between laboratory work and patient care.

3D Art students explore how multi-dimensional space, materials, and digital media can bring narratives to life in a visit to the Wex Center for the Arts. Exhibits focused on cultural identity and colonial history, West African botany, and movement in space inspire students to look beyond how materials are used to how they help us "see" our world.

Learning Beyond the Classroom: OSU's College of Veterinary Medicine provides the perfect space for Bodies students to see clinical skills in practice. Thanks to Kayla and Katie for showing students what goes into effective and meaningful veterinary care.

Real Skill-Building: Staff from OSU Physical Therapy @osuhrs and Metro alumnus Salma Abubakar teach HBS students to use goniometers to measure joint movement and how body positioning, flexibility, and muscle tension can affect range of motion. Through hands-on practice, professional feedback, and real-time corrections, students connect what they learned about bones, muscles, and joints to the techniques healthcare professionals use to assess patient mobility.

Real-World Problem-Solving: Bodies students put on their investigator hats as they analyzed DNA sequences, used BLAST to identify genetic matches, performed ELISA testing, and collaborated to determine the pathogen causing an infection. They discovered just how much precision, data, and multiple testing methods go into identifying diseases, and that solving the mystery isn’t as simple as it seems! @Erika Kildow Reeves @MetroSchool

Community partners enhance learning: Kindergarten students learn about being good citizens and community helpers during a visit from Detective Cassi Shaffer of the OSU police department.
