For the past several years, students with special needs at Loveland High School have designed hand-made blank greeting cards to gain valuable work experience. We use the money made from the profit of the sales to buy supplies for the room, activities, and often celebrations.
Students design, create, package, and sell these handmade cards to the community and staff members of Loveland. This year we were unable to attend our biggest sales event, The Loveland Craft Fair, due to the pandemic.
The profits from this fair help fund our classrooms and give our students the opportunity to practice social and life skills during outings in our community.
We are looking for new ways to get our craft and our students’ experiences out there.
The community will be able to meet some of our talented students and purchase these amazing cards this Spring at the Loveland Farmers Market. We will have cards available for cash purchase for $2.00 per pack of 4. You can choose from a variety of cards including, happy birthday, thank you, thinking of you, get well soon, tiger paw, and many more.
They are also available for cash purchase through this sign-up Order Form .
We look forward to seeing you again in our community!
Take a look at this story and read more from Mr. Imhotepr…
Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, originally named Sophie Charlotte was born on May 19, 1744. Queen Charlotte also held the titles of Electress of Hanover and Queen Consort of Hanover. Mecklenburg-Strelitz was a minute north German dukedom in the Holy Roman Empire.
Queen Charlotte was the youngest daughter of Princess Elizabeth Albertine Saxe-Hildburghausen and Duke Charles Louis Frederick of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, otherwise known as Prince of Mirow.
Queen Charlotte is a descendant of a black branch of the Portuguese royal family; more specifically, Alfonso III and his concubine, Madragana, a black moor.
This fact makes Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles and Prince William technically mixed race. Many historians have tried to cast doubt on the nature of Queen Charlotte’s heritage. But her personal physician has noted her “true mulatto face” and the public report released before Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation in 1953 acknowledges the monarchy’s African heritage.
Africans don’t beg for royalty. We know we are the originals and we’ve been there before anyone else. They just hide it but we remember and we will teach it to our children. Don’t forget to get your copies of My African Icons, I Love Africa and The Black Samurai to teach your children that their ancestors are the original royals and that they civilized the whole planet.
The Harlem Renaissance was an intellectual and cultural revival of African American music, dance, art, fashion, literature, theater and politics centered in Harlem, Manhattan, New York City, spanning the 1920s and 1930s.

Loveland, Ohio – In order to accommodate a second vaccine clinic day for staff, Friday, March 5 will be an “asynchronous” learning day for Loveland City School District students and staff.
This means school buildings will be closed; however, students will be given assignments to complete at home on that day and teachers will be available via email to assist them during normal school hours.
Do you know about the black inventor of traffic lights, gas masks & more…?
The African History tells us that Garrett Morgan “was a groundbreaker for African American inventors with his patents, he invented many including hair straightening product, a breathing device, a revamped sewing machine and an excellent traffic signal.”

Loveland, Ohio – On Friday, the Superintendent of the Loveland City School District, Brad Neavin joined me via Zoom for a follow-up discussion about his job so far as the head of the District. ([VIDEO] Interview with Loveland’s new Superintendent of Schools)
On February 8, the day before he officially took the helm, Neavin told Loveland Magazine readers his number one task was to visit or talk to as many people in the community as he could to get check the pulse, a post-autopsy report, of where the community has been and where it hopes it is going. If needed, Neavin hopes a report to the Board will help get the blood pumping again.
We discussed those visits, “coffees” as Neavin describes them, and he has done more than 50.
Neavin said that the schools and all of the Loveland District are alive and well and he is pleased with most of what he has learned so far, very pleased to learn the negative as well as the positive.
We also discussed the status of State testing and why he made a recommendation to the Board to send a letter of support to add the Loveland District to the growing number of districts around the State that mandated testing be suspended for the current school year. (Loveland Board asks for waiver from state testing)
Neavin asked me to be sure to include his Email address in this story because he wants to hear from many more residents of the District: He can be contacted at: neavinbr@lovelandschools.org or (513) 683-5600
Below is the first interview I did with the Superintendent on February 7.
