Out of 123 teams, the Braves placed in rankings 1-11 in The Stock Market Game, sponsored by the non-profit Alpaugh Family Economics Center, University of Cincinnati. One IHES team placed first overall. The Indian Hill Elementary School first-place team earned more than $21,000 in 10 weeks. The team included students Jenny Willingham, Devyanshie Rautela, and Chloe Luther. The team will compete in the Portfolio Challenge this spring at the University of Cincinnati.

The study of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) is part of the curriculum DNA within Indian Hill Primary School (IHPS). Now the work of our world-class educators is earning headlines. IHPS was the only primary school and one of three schools in Hamilton County to receive the Ohio STEM Learning Network (OSLN) $5,000 grant, funded by Battelle. The Indian Hill Primary School faculty members awarded the grant include Monica Dawkins and Elizabeth Ruebusch.

Indian Hill wants to recognize and thank the members and volunteers that helped our annual Global Week, a series of amazing cultural learning events. Our Global Parent Network is a strong partner to the Indian Hill Schools, and we appreciate all of the volunteer support from this team of dedicated parents.
