    A playground like this encourages social interaction & imaginative play

    Top Five Reasons to Make a Gift to the Primary Playground Project:

    5. Your gift will help make the LPS more inclusive and provide more choices for students of all physical abilities.
    4. Encourage more gross motor activities such as climbing or lifting. (Research shows that the playground structure has a significant impact on children’s physical activity.)
    3. Children have more self-confidence and perform better in a school with active play.
    2. A welcoming place in our Loveland community for families to come and play… a place of pride!
    1. Meet the modern needs of our students through play activities that engage our students in positive play and appropriate social interactions.

    Hotel California toured relentlessly from the 80’s straight through to today, setting the standard for world-class tribute productions as they went, and sharing stages with the likes of The Doobie Bros., Lynyrd Skynyrd, Gretchen Wilson, REO Speedwagon, and many more.  From Japan to Dubai, Toronto to Texas, Hotel California has boldly taken the tribute band where none had gone before them, and changed an industry’s collective mind about how good a “tribute” band could really be.

    All donations received during March and April will be counted toward the challenge.

The L.I.F.E. food pantry serves an average of 225 families or 600 individuals per month.  Donations made to L.I.F.E. are used here in our community to help our neighbors.

    The Murphy Story

    murphy the_orig

    The Murphy story began on a warm evening in late July of 1918 when Charles Webb Murphy opened his newly built theatre in his hometown of Wilmington.  It was a grand theatre for a small town and its history reflects the ebb and flow of small town America.  The theatre acted as the heart of downtown in those early days playing host to vaudeville, lectures, minstrel shows, movies, high school graduations, band concerts, plays and even church services.  Read on…

    Attention Students! 
    And parents, grandparents, & teachers
    Today I am highlighting three exciting opportunities that are currently available for students throughout my Congressional district, and I want to ensure every student in the 2nd District is aware of them.

    If you’re currently a student in the Second Congressional District, I hope you’ll explore the opportunities below. Even if you’re not a student, please feel free to pass along this information to a student you may know (or their parents!).

    In Your Service,
    Brad Wenstrup
    Internships

    Immediate openings are available to intern with my office, both in Washington D.C. and Ohio.

    Internship positions are offered for college and graduate students, and are designed to provide students with first-hand experience in a Congressional office.

     Service Academy Nominations

    Members of Congress have the privilege of nominating exceptional young people for admission to the U.S. Service Academies, where motivated young men and women have the opportunity to serve their country while developing valuable leadership skills.

    On Saturday, April 25th, I will host my annual “Academy Day” for prospective Academy students and their parents. The day consists of an Academy Fair, as well as a formal program featuring representatives from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, the Naval Academy, the Air Force Academy, the Merchant Marine Academy, and the Coast Guard Academy.
