National Principals Month
We want to take a moment to thank our amazing principals at Little Miami Schools for their dedication, leadership, and unwavering commitment to our students, staff, and community.
Our principals work tirelessly to create a positive learning environment where everyone can thrive. From supporting teachers to guiding students, they truly make a difference every day.
Thank you for all that you do! Your hard work does not go unnoticed, and we are so lucky to have such outstanding leaders in our schools. 💚💛
Youth Night
Field of Flags
LMMS and AFJROTC will once again be participating in DAV’s Field of Flags fundraiser.
DAV’s Field of Flags empowers our community to set up fields of American flags to honor local veterans and raise critical funds to support our ill and injured heroes.
Each flag represents one veteran – and our unwavering commitment to serving all veterans after they’ve sacrificed so much for our country.
All donations raise critical funds to support DAV’s life-changing services for veterans in need and their families.
The Field of Flags will be set up the week of Veteran’s Day. You can find our building donation page at : https://bit.ly/LMMS2024DAV

2024 Eastern Cincinnati Conference Championship
The Little Miami Runnin' Panthers had a historic October morning at the 2024 Eastern Cincinnati Conference Championship Meet hosted at Lebanon High School on Saturday, Oct. 12. For the first time since joining the ECC in the fall of 2020, Little Miami has claimed a conference crown in a fall team sport, and did it in dominating fashion.
In the girls' event, the Little Miami Lady Panthers also had a great day! The Lady Panthers were led by junior Sophia France who claimed sixth overall. Ella Brown also crossed the Finish Line in the Top 10 as she finished 8th overall, and other top placers for the Lady Panthers were Stella Cornelius (13th), Sam Mueller (25th), Ashley Bornemann (30th), and Charli Mueller (52nd). Milford claimed the 2024 ECC title scoring 41 points. Loveland finished second at 74, and the Lady Panthers rounded out the Top 3 scoring 82 points while averaging a team-time of 20:01. Complete results of the girls' championship race can be found HERE!

Imagination Library - ENROLL TODAY
DID YOU KNOW? By the age of three, a child’s brain is already 80% developed, and, by the time a child enters kindergarten, they must already know thousands of words in order to succeed in the classroom. Reading aloud to a child and giving them access to books is the best way to ensure they are prepared to enter kindergarten.
The Ohio Governor’s Imagination Library wants to start a new chapter in early childhood literacy throughout Ohio by providing families with books. With the goal of preparing students entering Kindergarten for success in the classroom, the Imagination Library program will send a customized book to your child each month from birth until age five. Sign up is easy and FREE! Give your Panther the gift of reading & enroll today.
