    [FREE EVENT] Loveland Music Boosters host world-renowned trumpet player Brad Goode

    Loveland, Ohio – World-renowned trumpet player, composer and educator Brad Goode will perform his music with the Loveland High School Jazz bands on Saturday, May 12. The free concert, held in the Loveland High School auditorium, starts at 7:30 PM and follows two jazz clinics offered by Goode during the day.

    Brad Goode has toured and recorded with the bands of many of jazz music’s great performers, including Von Freeman, Red Rodney, Al Cohn, Ira Sullivan and the Woody Herman Orchestra, to name only a few. He led his own orchestra in Chicago from 1985 until 1998, including a stint as leader of the house band at the famous entertainment venue Green Mill Cocktail Lounge. As cultural ambassador for former Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, Goode led jazz groups on tours of Asia and the Middle East. The Chicago Tribune named him one of the most influential Chicagoans of the 1980s for being a major catalyst in the revitalization of the Chicago jazz scene.

    For the past 20 years, Goode has primarily performed as a freelance lead trumpeter, working and recording with numerous ensembles. He has served on the faculties of several universities, among them the University of Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music. He is currently associate professor of jazz studies at the University of Colorado Boulder.

    For more information about the upcoming concert, contact Loveland High School Jazz Band Director Matt Holt at LovelandHighSchoolJazz@gmail.com.

  • [VIDEO] The State of Our Schools

    [VIDEO] The State of Our Schools

    By Dr. Amy Crouse, Loveland Superintendent

    We promised a GIANT open house with students as your tour guides – and the State of Schools event certainly delivered! Students – at all grade levels – talking one-on-one about their learning around the three core district goals of Growth, Innovation and Care… student-musicians and student-artists celebrating their creativity… our Loveland student-athletes sharing their successes – all under one roof. It absolutely made my heart swell to see our kiddos informed, engaged and in charge of creating the futures they want to grow into!

    This event was the Loveland City School District, up close and very personal.

    It was also a reflection of work we have accomplished as a district to enhance the experience for our students as a direct result of the Destination Loveland Task Force meetings, when a group of Loveland parents, community members and business leaders joined our educators, staff and administrators in developing our future goals to create a world-class student experience.

    It is now time to take the work that group began to the next level with the Destination Loveland Task Force (DLTF) who will reconvene to continue the process of creating the future we want for our district. We will outline specific goals and timelines for achieving them. We will engage experts to lead us on this journey of growth. We will do it together. This is the work of our , and it is no small task that we are facing as a district.

    Our Tigers – the very students who spent that Thursday night sharing their academic Growth, their passion for Innovation, their ability to Care, their beautiful music, their sophisticated art, their spectacular athletic pursuits deserve the very best that we can provide them. Their future depends on it. We will not fail them.

    It is the Tiger way

    #TigerCare in action across Loveland, Cincinnati and around the world!

    Loveland, Ohio – What began last school year with a couple of classes has grown into a building-wide student council on a mission of Tiger Care. Meet the newly formed Loveland Elementary School (LES) Kindness Council – with each third and fourth grade classroom represented and working toward monthly projects that create a Kindness Initiative throughout Loveland, Cincinnati and even across the world.

    “This new structure is creating school-wide unity and making our projects bigger than they have ever been before,” said LES Teacher Melissa Prenger, who was one of the teacher sponsors for the Kindness Initiative last school year.

    Prenger said students started the school year in September 2017 with a donation drive of personal care items to benefit Matthew 25: Ministries for hurricane survivors.

    “We were able to collect so many items, we needed two large vehicles to deliver it all,” said Prenger.

    “We were able to collect so many items, we needed two large vehicles to deliver it all,” said Prenger. “We collected socks again in October for Socktober. Because it was a school-wide initiative, we were able to collect over 3,000 pairs of socks to local homeless shelters in Cincinnati.”

    The Kindness Council members and their families delivered the donations, making the initiative reach beyond the school building walls. In November, students supported Read to Feed; each student in the school had sponsors support them for a week of reading. The proceeds of their sponsorship allowed LES to donate nearly $4,000 to Loveland’s LIFE Food Pantry. In December, the entire school made cards for soldiers serving away from their families, as well as for nursing home residents. The Kindness Council also designed and sold Holiday Grams, enabling over $800 to be donated to the Adopt A U.S. Soldier program.

    I’m incredibly proud of the students – they truly are spreading kindness, compassion, and empathy to not just the local community, but communities around the world.”

    “During the months of January and February, we collected pop can pull tabs for The Ronald McDonald House,” said Prenger. “We will take them and see how many pounds we were able to collect – but it is a lot! We also collected winter care items, to create winter care bags to be distributed to the homeless of Cincinnati. I’m incredibly proud of the students – they truly are spreading kindness, compassion, and empathy to not just the local community, but communities around the world.”

  • Tiger learning outside the classroom

    Tiger learning outside the classroom

    By Andrea Conner, Loveland Director of Secondary Programs

    What do I want to do with my life?

    At the Loveland City School District, we know this question is one of the most difficult for our high school students to answer. When it comes to making post high school investment decisions – with the overwhelming amount of student-loan debt – finding an answer can quickly cause extreme stress for our students and their families, as they want to make the right decision the first time.

    Perhaps you can help?

    One way to assist high school students and their families with these difficult decisions is to expose students to their areas of interest through internship opportunities.

    One way to assist high school students and their families with these difficult decisions is to expose students to their areas of interest through internship opportunities. These experiential learning connections give students the opportunity to weigh in on the requirements of the position before they enter college and accumulate insurmountable debt. While these experiences may solidify students’ decisions, it’s even more powerful when students decide the career field is not for them.

    The Loveland City School District is embracing this initiative to not only provide these rich opportunities for our high school students, but to also increase partnerships with area businesses to bridge the gap between the education and the workforce needs of our community. Business partners experience several benefits such as creating positive mentoring relationships with high school students, increasing the opportunity for a more positive community workforce and potentially training future employees.

    Once a partnership has been created between the district and the school, the designated representative from the business will help design the internship experience for the students. Upon the completion of at least twenty hours of work, students should have comprehensive exposure to the various skills needed to be successful in the chosen internship rotations.

    Currently, Loveland City School District has formal agreements with The Little Miami River Chamber Alliance, NEST Learning Center and The Clermont County Extension Office. The district also works with First Star Logistics through a paid internship initiated by the business. As the district’s goal is to grow the internship program for our Tigers, we are still looking for business partners to help enrich the newly established academic pathways.

    Our ultimate goal is to provide the most inclusive educational experience for our young people that will not only secure futures for them, but will also enrich our Loveland community.

    If you would like to learn more about Loveland City School District’s internship programs or would like to discuss an internship placement for a high school student, please reach out to me at 513-683-5600 or conneran@lovelandschools.org.

  • Loveland High School Teacher Abra Koch named 2018 Grosvenor Teacher Fellow

    Loveland High School Teacher Abra Koch named 2018 Grosvenor Teacher Fellow

    Abra Koch one of 40 educators to travel on global expeditions for hands-on professional development

    Loveland, Ohio – Loveland High School (LHS) Spanish Teacher Abra Koch has been named a 2018 Grosvenor Teacher Fellow (GTF). The GTF Program is a professional development opportunity for Pre-K-12 educators made possible by a partnership between Lindblad Expeditions and the National Geographic Society.

    Koch is one of 40 educators selected from the United States and Canada to travel on one of the global expeditions.

    An annual competitive application process is used to select educators and host them aboard Lindblad Expeditions’ voyages for a life-changing, field-based experience; Koch is one of 40 educators selected from the United States and Canada to travel on one of the global expeditions.

    “I am so honored and humbled to be chosen as a Grosvenor Teacher Fellow,” said Koch. “This is a professional development opportunity for teachers to bring geo-literacy to our students and help them be more connected to the world. Through this opportunity I am hoping to infuse a love of exploration into my students and help them to become explorers of the world around them, locally and globally.” 

    In December Koch will be on an expedition to the Galápagos Islands aboard the National Geographic Endeavor II.

    In December Koch will be on an expedition to the Galápagos Islands aboard the National Geographic Endeavor II. Her expedition is December 7-16. On the expedition Koch will explore the habitats and species on the Galápagos as well as the culture and history of this fascinating location. 

    “I am so excited to explore a location that is so ecologically important and unique,” said Koch. “There are so many endemic species in the Galápagos that can’t be found anywhere else in the world. Having the chance to see them in person, explore the habitats and learn how their adaptations have developed will be amazing!”

    “We congratulate Mrs. Koch on this remarkable professional accomplishment,” said LHS Principal Peggy Johnson. “We are excited about this learning experience for her, and what it will mean for how she will continue to enhance the classroom experience for our students.”

    I am hoping that this experience will help my students to nourish their curiosity, explore new places and learn from the world around them.

    “When I return to Loveland, I will work with my students to practice exploration using Spanish as a tool to observe, question, hypothesize and understand the world in which we live,” said Koch. “I am hoping that this experience will help them to nourish their curiosity, explore new places and learn from the world around them.”

    The program – in its 12th year – is named in honor of Gilbert M. Grosvenor, Chairman Emeritus National Geographic Society, in recognition of his decades-long work supporting Pre-K-12 teachers and promoting geography education across the U.S. and Canada.
