Twenty-five Miamisburg High School senior artists are pleased to have the opportunity, in conjunction with the Art Education Department at the University of Dayton, to showcase their work outside of the traditional classroom space. The seniors reflected on their past four years at MHS and chose works that depict their artistic journeys in a variety of medias and subject matter. The senior artists have shown great strength in the visual arts throughout their high school careers and have taken numerous art classes throughout their four years. Many of these artists are continuing their journey in the arts as they graduate in May 2019 and start college in the fall.
The senior students in advanced art will be showcasing their work this Friday, May 3rd, at the Index Gallery which is located within the Front St. Galleries in downtown Dayton. The students titled their sho
w, Journey, because they wanted to visually showcase their journey from freshman to senior year. The Index Gallery is a part of First Fridays and Third Sundays which is a great family activity.
Dates: The show will be open:
- May 3rd from 6-9pm (First Friday event)
- May 19th from 11- 4pm (Third Sunday event)
- Any other times will be scheduled by appointment only.
Where: We are pleased to partner with the art education department from the University of Dayton!
- The show will be located at UD’s Index Gallery which is located at 1001 E. 2nd St. Door B-C (second floor), Dayton, OH 45402
- Parking: is fluid and is dependent upon the crowd size for both events. Parking lot near the building may have available spots. There are several businesses and parking lots close by.
Other Fun Items:
- The Index Gallery is a major part of the Dayton art scene. The gallery will be open during monthly First Friday event in downtown Dayton. This is very exciting because the entire art scene of the Dayton area will be viewing your student’s art!
- The gallery will also be open during Third Sundays which is another monthly event in Dayton. There are over 100 local artisans and food trucks that are set up right outside the gallery. This is a wonderful event for the whole family!! This will also bring in more people to look at your student’s art. This could be a great activity for those family members who are in town for graduation.

The Miamisburg City School District March Student of the Month is Aiden White. He was nominated by his teachers Jessica Hoban, Kim Montgomery and Kellie Holliday.
"Jane Chance Elementary 2nd Grader, Aiden White, is our PBIS BARK Student of the Month. Aiden has exemplified the JCE Positive Behavior Traits of Being Responsible, Acting with Kindness, Respecting Others and Keeping Safe. He is an excellent role model at JCE.
BE RESPONSIBLE Aiden works diligently every day to learn and be prepared. He always turns his assignments and homework in on time. He plans for future learning or thinks ahead to what materials and tasks he must do each week before I even have to ask him. He works extremely hard when given a task to practice or a new skill to learn. He is always willing to fix mistakes and wants to be the best student to meet his personal goals. His work ethic is a model to all students. If he does not meet a goal, he thinks of other ways to practice and is always working hard to meet higher expectations.
ACT WITH KINDNESS Aiden is a wonderful friend to all. I see him thinking of others ahead of himself. I see him serving others in our classroom. He offers other students help with their assignments, to practice reading, to get packed up or clean, or offering to take things down to the office for me. He cares for others and has a tender heart for those that need a friend or are new to our school. I like to assign him as the class mentor when new students join because he shows BARK to the fullest. He looks out for those that do not understand what to do on an assignment or just needs extra help. He loves to encourage others and be their motivator.
RESPECT OTHERS Aiden respects stakeholders in the school setting. He uses his manners when getting lunch or when others help him in our school. He is always having a smile on his face and showing a positive attitude even when things are difficult. He never has acted ill toward someone even if they have done something wrong toward him. He will let authorities know if someone has been disrespectful to himself or others. Aiden has a keen sense of right and wrong and knows what respect really means and if someone has offended it. He treats others the way he wants to be treated and is an up-stander for students that might need help.
KEEP SAFE Aiden is always safe in the classroom. He picks up his materials and even helps others clean up. He always follows the speed limit in the hallway and walks through the school and in the classroom. Aiden keeps his hands and feet to himself and pushes in his chair. He always is looking to help tidy up the classroom and other areas around the school. He enjoys helping Mr. Hartley and Mr. Carpenter clean up and help others in the cafeteria at lunchtime. He is willing to organize materials in the classroom for me and offers to help pick up when things get messy.
Congratulations, Aiden, for being an excellent example of BARK for our JCE Bulldogs!"
