Little Miami AFJROTC Program Earns Top Honors
Congratulations to the Little Miami AFJROTC on its recent accomplishments.
It is with great pride to inform you that Little Miami's AFJROTC program has been selected to receive the Distinguished Unit Award for the 2023-2024 Academic Year.
"This award would not have been possible without your support of our program. Thank you for all you do for AFJROTC!" - Chas. Peterson, Lt Col, USAF
Little Miami junior sprinter Emma Goins had a historic performance for the Lady Panthers at the ECC Track & Field Championships last week held at Anderson High School. Her effort last season at The League's final encore of the track and field regular season was historic, but what she accomplished this year, bested even that! The Little Miami star was tabbed the ECC's 'Sprinter of the Meet' by league peers after she sprinted to the 'Top Points Winner of the Meet' with four first place victories (25 points) in the 100 meter dash, 200 meter dash, 4x200 meter relay, and 4x400 meter relay.
Summer Meal Program
If the children in your household are currently receiving F/R meals at Little Miami Local Schools – they will automatically be eligible for a new program called Summer EBT (Sun Bucks) through the State. This summer program will help families buy food during the summer when school is out. Your children will automatically be enrolled in the program, so you do not need to complete an application. If your children are not currently receiving F/R meals – a new F/R meal application can be completed to determine your eligibility through July 31st, 2024.
However, any F/R meal applications signed and submitted before July 1st will only determine Summer EBT eligibility. For SY 24/25 F/R meal benefits a new application would need to be signed and submitted by mail or at www.payschoolscentral.com on or after July 1st 2024 per USDA rules.
Each family will receive $120 for each eligible school age child on a card that you can use to buy food during the summer at grocery stores and other authorized retailers. Summer EBT (SUN Bucks) will be mailed to you or loaded on your current EBT card in June. Not all children will receive the benefit card on the same day.
