Panther Hero Award
During this week's Board of Education meeting, Little Miami was proud to recognize Denise Day with our Panther Hero Award.
On March 3rd, one of our LMPR building custodians, Denise Day was successfully able to perform the Heimlich Maneuver for a student who was choking. SRO Hayslip awarded her, with a Good Deed certificate. This award is part of the National Association of School Resource Officers (NASRO) program, which honors those outstanding individuals who go above and beyond to make a positive difference in their schools.
Thank you, Mrs. Day

LMHS Spring Musical
April 4th-6th
Based on the popular Disney Channel Original Movies, Disney's Descendants: The Musical is a brand-new musical jam-packed with comedy, adventure, Disney characters, and hit songs from the films!
Imprisoned on the Isle of the Lost – home of the most infamous villains who ever lived – the teenaged children of Maleficent, the Evil Queen, Jafar, and Cruella De Vil have never ventured off the island… until now. When the four troublemakers are sent to attend prep school alongside the children of beloved Disney heroes, they have a difficult choice to make: should they follow in their parents’ wicked footsteps or learn to be good?

UPDATE: New Interpreter Lines for Little Miami Families
Новые линии переводчиков для семей Little Miami
Nuevas Líneas de Intérprete para las Familias de Little Miami
As part of our commitment to effective communication with our families, we are excited to announce that we now have three dedicated phone lines available for families who speak Uzbek, Russian, or Spanish. By calling these numbers, families will first be connected to an interpreter before being routed to the district office and the appropriate building.

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.
