Keeping up with ‘Tiger Talk’ from Loveland Schools
Tiger Talk District Newsletter,
LOVELAND, OH (March 18, 2022) – lET’S START WITH A MESSAGE FROM sUPERINTENDENT MIKE BROADWATER.
Loveland Tiger Families,
If a picture is worth a thousand words, then the short video clip above tells a priceless story about what it means to #beLOVEland.
The young man being cheered on by his classmates in the Loveland Elementary School gym is Braiden. He suffered a traumatic brain injury as the result of a stroke when he was just a newborn. He’s been diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy and a variety of neurological and physical issues – but it’s clear that he’s just another Loveland Tiger to his classmates.
His grandmother said that when COVID caused schools to close he suffered a big setback, but she praised his teachers for going above and beyond to support him during remote learning.
“Every teacher, every aide, every therapist, and school employee that has crossed his path has touched his life and played such a huge, positive role in his achievements and who he has grown to be today. They have met him where he was and built on what was already in place. They have all helped to boost his confidence during his journey,” his grandmother told us.
What’s special about the moment captured in that video is that his classmates were cheering him on – not because anyone told them to, but just because that’s the kind of kids they are. This is exactly what our #beLOVEland spirit is about – people bringing their best selves every day in service to our students and community.
To our parents – you should be proud of the way your kids show up for their friends.
To our staff – thank you for meeting every kid where they are and making every day special.
To Braiden – keep swinging for the fences.
Go Tigers!

Loveland Leadership and Ethics Group has First Meeting
There is a new group at Loveland High School, thanks to interest from some of our students. After some of our students attended a recent Ethical Leadership seminar from the West Point Society of Cincinnati, the LHS Leadership and Ethics Group was born. Founding members Cole Brock, Joey Combs, Orhan Ozbudak, and Trent Saemann held their first meeting this week and completed a values assessment. They’ll gather together in the months ahead and wrestle with topics to stretch their ethical reasoning and leadership skills.
