LECC Tiger Talk

Good Afternoon Tiger Cub Families,

Welcome to another exciting week at LECC! This week, we had a wonderful Kindergarten Round-Up for our incoming students next year and loved welcoming new faces to our school family! On Tuesday, we’re looking forward to our Terrific Tiger Assemblies to celebrate students who have been showing Care, Respect, and Responsibility.

We are also excited to welcome back River City Puppets on Wednesday for a special performance of "The Hungry Hungry Bookworm."

Have a fantastic weekend and we look forward to seeing the children back here on Monday!

This year Loveland will be hosting our first ever Science and Innovation Expo! The event will take place on Saturday, February 1st, 2025 from 9 am to 12 pm at Loveland High School. This day is an opportunity to celebrate and showcase the amazing learning that happens around Loveland! The Science and Innovation Expo is a one-day event that incorporates two pathways for students to pick from, a Science Expo and an Innovation Expo.

For more information about each pathway, click here to watch a video, or read the brief description below:

Here is more information about each pathway:

• The Science Expo is a traditional science fair where students have the opportunity to conduct a scientific research project or engineering design project, and present their findings to their peers and community judges, with the opportunity to qualify for Regional Science Day at University of Cincinnati, called the Science and Engineering Expo. If students achieve well at UC, they have the opportunity to qualify for State Science Day at Ohio State University. This pathway is open to students in grades 5-12, and students can present individually or up to groups of three.

• The Innovation Expo is an open-ended opportunity for students to identify a problem and solve it with something they will create, or to simply create and share something creative, inventive, or innovative. Some ideas may be a DIY craft, coding/computer science project, an engineering creation, or anything else in which your child creates something to share! This pathway is open to all students grades PreK-12, and community judges will provide informal feedback about strengths of each project, as well as areas to grow. Students can participate individually or up to groups of three.
