COVID caused monumental changes to activities for many groups, and Stewart Home & School was no exception.

But Stewart Home & School students are once again taking part in activities throughout the community, and last month that included performing with the Western Hills High School dance team during a WHHS home basketball game.
Andrea Oney has ties to both groups.
“While I coach the Western Hills dance team, I also teach dance at the Stewart Home & School, so I thought it would be a fun collaboration for both groups,” she said. “We performed with them in 2020 as well, and this was the first season post-COVID we were able to perform together again.”

Oney taught the SHS students the routine during her weekly lessons, and the WHHS dancers went to Stewart Home & School the Thursday before the performance so the two groups could practice together.
“This is the performance my Hills kids look forward to more than any other the entire season,” Oney said. “The SHS students are such a blessing and joy to be around.”
The WHHS dancers weren’t the only ones looking forward to the performance.
“The Stewart & Home School dancers are beyond excited to dance with the Western Hills dance team,” Oney said. “They are always asking when they get to dance with them again or when they could come dance at one of the SHS basketball games. Just the looks on their faces says it all. They are having the time of their lives on that court.”
David Sellwood, former superintendent of Stewart Home & School, credits Oney with making the time so special for the SHS dancers.

“She is absolutely amazing and is so easily able to bring out the shining spirit of our students to share with her WHHS dance crew,” he said. “We love watching them together.”
SHS students are currently spending time in the community at six of Frankfort’s churches, the Frankfort Parks, Recreation and Historic Sites Department’s facilities, as well as businesses that include Capital Bowl and Franklin Square Cinemas.
“Our involvement with off-campus vocational placements and extra-curricular was limited due to COVID,” Director Sandra Bell said. “We are so happy to be able to engage with our community again.”
State-Journal.com’s comments forum is for civil, constructive dialogue about news topics in our community, state, nation and world. We emphasize “civil” at a time when Americans, in the words of the current president, need to “turn down the temperature” of political debates. The State Journal will do its part by more carefully policing this forum. Here are some rules that all commenters must agree to follow:
Absolutely no attacks on other commenters, on guest columnists or on authors of letters to the editor. Our print and online opinion pages are sacred marketplaces of ideas where diverse viewpoints are welcome without fear of retribution. You may constructively critique the ideas and opinions of others, but name-calling, stereotyping and similar attacks are strictly prohibited.
Leeway will be given for criticism of elected officials and other public figures, but civility is essential. If you focus your criticism on ideas, opinions and viewpoints, you will be less likely to run afoul of our commenting rules.
Keep comments focused on the article or commentary in question. Don’t use an article about the Frankfort City Commission, for example, to rant about national politics.
Hyperpartisanship that suggests anyone on the other side of an issue or anyone in a particular particular party is evil is not welcome. If you believe that all Democrats are socialists intent on destroying America or that all Republicans are racists, there are lots of places on the internet for you to espouse those views. State-Journal.com is not one.
No sophomoric banter. This isn’t a third-grade classroom but rather a place for serious consumers of news to offer their reactions and opinions on news stories and published commentary.
No consumer complaints about individual businesses. If you’ve had a bad experience with a private business or organization, contact the Better Business Bureau or the government agency that regulates that business. If you believe the actions of a private business are newsworthy, contact us at news@state-journal.com and we will consider whether news coverage is merited.
Absolutely no jokes or comments about a person’s physical appearance.
No promotion of commercial goods or services. Our outstanding staff of marketing consultants stands ready to help businesses with effective advertising solutions.
If you state facts that have not been previously reported by The State Journal, be sure to include the source of your information.
No attacks on State Journal staff members or contributing writers. We welcome questions about, and criticism of, our news stories and commentary but not of the writers who work tirelessly to keep their community informed. Corrections of inaccurate information in news stories should be sent to news@state-journal.com rather than posted in the comments section.
