Loveland Schools- Week in review

Congratulations to the Loveland Intermediate School Remote Students of the Week.

Isla Gruffyd, Jackson Cocco, and Elizabeth Miranda were recognized at the 5th grade level and Claire Plunkett, Jayden Andry, and Liam Manly were recognized among 6th graders. LIS Principal Garth Carlier traveled to each student’s home to deliver their certificates. Great work to our winners, including the two who weren’t home for photos!

 

Sofia Reiss, Piper Schaeffer, Lilly Fahrenbach (seated from left to right) helped serve the community by adding an artistic touch to Life Food Pantry’s new storefront in the Shoppers Haven Plaza on Loveland Madeira Rd. “I have a goal to connect Art, the schools, and the community to help build a strong support system where we live everyday,” says LMS art teacher Jeff Flaig.

The 8th graders at Loveland Middle School were able to showcase their talents with some lovely window painting to help brighten up the plaza. “If there are more art opportunities throughout the community please reach out as we would love to provide additional opportunities for our students,” Flaig said.

Loveland continued its improvement in the most recent Prevention First 2020 Student Survey. The Prevention First survey allows students to self-report their conduct and was administered last fall. The survey found decreases in alcohol, cigarettes, marijuana and prescription drug use. The survey shows the impact of Loveland Advocating Against Alcohol and Drugs (LEAAD) and the importance of educating children about the dangers of substances. One of the biggest changes is that the perception of harm of electronic vaping products increased by 28% and vape use decreased from more than 12% in the previous survey to 5.7% in the most recent results.

The Loveland Elementary PTA hit 97% of its fundraising goal with this year’s Fall Walk-a-thon. LECC, LES, & LPS participated in the virtual event that allowed students to choose their own time and route. As a whole, LEPTA raised $38,995 toward a goal of $40,000. Thank you to everyone who helped out.
