Ramadan Begins Today
Ramadan, the holiest month in Islam, begins. This is a time of fasting, prayer, reflection, and community for Muslims around the world. From sunrise to sunset, those observing will fast as a way to strengthen their faith and practice self-discipline. It's also a time for kindness, generosity, and togetherness.

Nate Mahon Returns to Little Miami
Little Miami Local Schools is excited to announce, pending board of education approval, Nate Mahon will be the high school’s next football coach. Mahon previously led the Panthers from 2016 to 2019, securing 19 wins and back-to-back winning seasons. Now, he returns to revitalize a program coming off consecutive one-win seasons.
“My family and I have called the Little Miami School District home for the past eight years,” said Mahon. “We can't imagine a better place to raise our children. We've had incredible experiences with Little Miami’s faculty, staff, and youth sports organizations.”
Little Miami kicks off the 2025 season on August 23 at Jackson High School.

LMMS and LMHS are teaming up for an incredible cause—finding a cure for cancer. Together, we're proud to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Student Visionaries of the Year (SVOY) campaign, a groundbreaking leadership journey where high school students work to create a world without blood cancers.
This year, LMHS students Abigail Angel, Keaton Wackenthaler, and alumna Valeria Buscher have formed Team Call for the Cure, competing for the Student Visionaries of the Year title! 💪 Their mission? To raise vital funds and awareness in the fight against blood cancer.
LMMS is stepping up to help, with a goal of raising $15,000 towards Team Call for the Cure's campaign. Together, we can make a difference! 🌟
🗓️ Campaign ends on 3/14—don’t wait!

Fiscal Focus
Since Fiscal Year (FY)15 to our most recently completed school year, FY24, the district has seen an average increase of 162 students per year (3.38%). This has resulted in an increase of 1,456 students over this time period to a total enrollment of 5,765 (FY24).
Despite the significant student growth LM has seen over the years, we have strategically stretched out the funds generated from the passage of the 2011 Emergency Levy of $10.6 million for more than thirteen years! These funds represent approximately 18% of LM’s total operating budget and are vital to the district’s financial health. We are so thankful to the community for investing in the future of our students!
With careful planning and monitoring of the district’s increasing growth in enrollment, the Board and LM administration will continue to provide the best opportunities available to our students in the most economical ways possible.

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.
