Thank you to all of the departments that came to our schools this week for Safety Week!

Congratulations to sixth graders Gracie Lucas, Elizabeth Stewart, and Katherine Taylor on achieving the highest Girl Scout Junior Award- Bronze Award.

The girls started the journey for their Bronze award by identifying a need in the community and coming up with a solution. The girls saw the need for community members to have a little blessing in their day and made Blessing Bags. They collected personal hygiene items, snacks, and other essential items and made 200 Blessing Bags to hand out to community members.

The Little Miami Youth Soccer Association recognized players during Youth Night at the Girls' Varsity Soccer game on Tuesday. The youth got to take the field with the girls and play a quick match during halftime.

Six LMMS students achieved a 30-day friend streak on Duolingo today, earning them a special French class prize and a pose with French props!

Mackenzie Graham, Molly James, Arlynn Hager, Megyn Wallace, Brayden Schindler and Owen Menad,

(Duolingo is a fun app for learning languages through quick, bite-sized lessons. Students practice speaking, reading, listening and writing to build vocabulary and grammar skills.)

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.
