Senior Trip 2011

     This years senior trip was a great success! After first arriving at the double tree hotel everyone was ready to break away and check out all the stores in the area. There was so much to see but we had very little time to browse because we had to catch the bus to go to second city which is a famous comedy club. They were famous for good reason, all of them were hilarious to say the least! after a good hard laugh everyone went to a great restaurant were we filled ourselves with the finest pizza chicago had to offer.

    The next day was our only full day in Chicago. Me and my roommates slept in which I now realize was a mistake because I didn’t have enough time to see the things I wanted to see. Nevertheless our day went on according to the schedule. We left for the aquarium at around three and it was truly an awesome and fascinating trip. We saw sharks, jellyfish, sea turtles, and there were trained sea lions and dolphins that performed incredible tricks in front of us. It was remarkable!Later that day we all had the priviledge of going on a cuise with gormet food, luxurious commodities and music for dancing!

     After arriving at the hotel that night me and my roommates had trouble sleeping with the dissapointing thought of returning home the next day. However, our fun was not over after all we had one more stop to make! thats right, CHINA TOWN! This was fascinating for me who has never been to china town before and for those of you who have never been I would recomend it. China town is a place where you can buy cheap trinkets and knick knacks thats you couldn’t find anywhere else. After going through many stores I figured that I couldn’t go home empty handed so I decided to buy a Samari Sword. (I had quite an interesting conversation with my parents later that day) After an hour of China Town it was time to pack up and head home with the memories of exciting adventures and experiences that I had with my classmates!

Dorothy Koch Family Foundation Continues Legacy of Supporting Excellence in Education for Students of the Indian Hill School District

The Dorothy Koch Family Foundation recently supported the purchase of calculators for the Indian Hill High School math department. Indian Hill School District parent Lisa Koch Greene facilitated the donation to the Indian Hill Public Schools Foundation. It was a perfect fit. The School Foundation supports exemplary education opportunities and the Koch Family Foundation honors Dorothy Kautz Koch and her lifelong commitment to education. In fact, Mrs. Koch was a member of the Indian Hill Schools faculty for over twenty years.

Dorothy Kautz Koch dedicated her life to providing a quality education for her four children (all of whom attended Indian Hill Schools), the students who were fortunate enough to have her as a teacher, and the current and future students of the Indian Hill District. The School District, as well as the Indian Hill Public Schools Foundation, continues to be grateful for her support of excellence in education. Mr. Charles Koch, Jr. commented “Mrs. Koch, a long time Indian Hill resident, recognized that the quality of education available in Indian Hill is one of the factors that make this community one of the most attractive places to raise a family in the United States.”

The Indian Hill High School mathematics department requested TI-Nspire Graphing Calculator kits. The TI-Nspire technology allows learners to put math into writing. Students can use the calculators to solve word problems and explain problem-solving approaches. This will help develop effective written communication skills of the students. Nancy Striebich, Principal, commented: “Indian Hill High School prides itself on being one of the leaders in school technology. Thanks to benefactors like the Koch Foundation, our teachers and students are working with advanced technological devices that are helping to advance their mathematical and problem solving skills. We are very appreciative of the generosity of the Koch family.”
