American Legion and VFW lay Wreaths at Loveland’s Veterans’ Memorial

by Cassie Mattia

Loveland, Ohio – Loveland loves their veterans! The Loveland American Legion Post 256 Honor Guard and VFW Post 5749 held a brief unannounced Memorial Day ceremony yesterday at 9 AM at the Loveland Veterans’ Memorial. Due to the COVID 19 pandemic, Loveland’s annual parade, and ceremony, unfortunately, were canceled this year. Both the parade and ceremony, which is usually witnessed by thousands, features patriotic music, emotion-grabbing speeches, and an endearing proclamation given by the Mayor of Loveland.

In yesterday’s abbreviated ceremony, there was a 21-gun salute while two symbolic wreaths were laid beneath the American flag. Taps were played by echoing trumpets as well. Although there were only a few spectators, LOVELAND MAGAZINE TV was able to catch the ceremony and spend a few brief moments with some Loveland residents as we asked them to reflect on Memorial Day.

Loveland Magazine understands that the majority of the public missed the ceremony so we decided to bring the event to you in an impromptu video. Click below to enjoy Loveland’s Memorial Day ceremony from your very own couch!

Introducing the honors awarded the LHS Class of 2020

Loveland, Ohio – On Wednesday, Loveland High School held a “virtual” Senior Awards Ceremony to celebrate the achievements of the graduating class. The celebration usually takes place annually before a standing-room crowd in the Ron DeWitt Auditorium.

Principal Peggy Johnson

The evening usually starts with a ceremonial procession of the scholars and they are greeted by the applause of their families and teachers. Then, Principal Peggy Johnson calls 10 of those seniors to sit in chairs on the stage under pennants representing the college or university each will attend. One-by-one the students are announced ending with the “Top Senior” of the graduating class.

This is also the night when students and parents receive the surprise announcement of awards and scholarships presented by local individuals, community groups, and even state and national honors. Hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarship dollars are announced on this nite.

The movie below was created by Loveland Magazine from a slide show the school put together to celebrate the accomplishments of their Senior Class.

Loveland Magazine sends our congratulations to the students, parents, teachers, counselors, and all the other staff who support these students. And, to Principal Johnson, her assistants, and supporting staff.

This has been a wonderful group of scholars to be around this year and we so appreciate the hospitality and respect they demonstrate toward us and their fellow students. Thank you, parents and teachers, for nurturing such an incredible group of young adults! We look forward to hearing about their promising future endeavors.

Read about the graduation plans for the Class of 2020, keeping in mind that the plan has evolved and has been tweaked, such as now allowing 6 family members to attend.

The LHS 2020 “Safe” Graduation will be May 23

[Video] Rob Geiger announces milestone for Ramsey-Paxton Cemetery restoration project
Loveland, Ohio – On Monday LOVELAND MAGAZINE TV took our camera to the Ramsey-Paxton Cemetery in the White Pillars subdivision where Rob Geiger made an important announcement regarding the on-going restoration project. Geiger is the President of the Ramsey-Paxton Cemetery Association.

In an email to Loveland Magazine Geiger exclaimed, “Look what got installed May 1, 2020!”

Geiger has worked for the last two years to make Loveland’s most significant historical site presentable again. They removed a 20-year old rusty and broken fence, installed a new one, removed dying trees that threatened the new fence and tombstones, attempted a gentle restoration of the 208-year-old tombstones, brought a historical marker that had been in storage to the cemetery, and just this week saw the installation of a historical wrought-iron gate.

History of White Pillars

In this video, you will see Geiger explain how all the work was accomplished and hear about how the community and local businesses pitched-in to accomplish it all.

The cemetery is where Loveland’s “Founding Family” is buried and Rob is a direct ancestor.

In this video clip, Rob Geiger talks about how important the Ramsey-Paxton Cemetery is to Loveland’s heritage.

He also talks about the work the Association still hopes to accomplish as more funds become available.

Loveland Board of Education to fill 2 Vacancies
Loveland, Ohio – Loveland City School District board member Art Jarvis did not attend the April 30 Board meeting but instead resigned before it started. At the beginning of the meeting, President Kathy Lorenz read a letter Jarvis sent to the Board. You can watch a video clip of her reading the letter below.

Board member Ned Portune attended the meeting and resigned his position after it was over. You can read the statement he sent to Loveland Magazine the next morning below.

Both resignations were effective immediately and follow the apparent overwhelming defeat a vote on an operating levy announced the day before. (Loveland Levy apparently fails by wide margin)

According to a press release issued by the District the day after the meeting, the vacancies are expected to be filled at the May 12 board meeting.

The release also said that the board is now seeking candidates to replace Jarvis and Portune. It says that applicants should submit a “notice of interest” by Email to Treasurer Kevin Hawley (hawleyke@lovelandschools.org) by 5 PM on Monday, May 4.

Applicants should include biographical information, address, affirmation of voter registration, and a short statement describing qualifications and reasons for filling the role of Board Member of the Loveland City School District. Both of these positions would be for service through December 2021.

Remaining Board members are Dr. Kathryn Lorenz, Board President, Michele Pettit, and Eileen Washburn.
For Immediate Release. 5/1/2020

It is with sadness that I acknowledge my departure from the Loveland City Schools Board of Education. My resignation is for personal reasons, and should not be interpreted as a negative reflection of my faith in, and support of, the district leadership.

As I have said previously, students and teachers alike can’t be successful if they aren’t in the right culture of care, support, learning, and high expectations set by their administrators. And as such, our administrative team and educational staff have raised the bar of expectations at Loveland well beyond “average.” The improvements our district has experienced, and the achievements our students have accomplished over the past several years have been tremendous. Superintendent Dr. Amy Crouse and Treasurer Kevin Hawley are tireless champions for our students, and perform their roles with exceptional grace and integrity, as do Dr. Kathy Lorentz and the rest of the Board. I am grateful to have worked with this team.

As community members, we should all take pride in what we have accomplished together over the past several years, and the reputation for excellence that has been achieved by our schools. This success is only possible with support. I know I am proud to have been a part of a list that includes:

moving key state report card grades to A and B from C, D and F,

improving from 433rd (out of 610 districts) to 22nd in ODE’s Value Added rankings,

LES students performing on average 20% higher than the State average in Reading/Math for AIR and exceeding MAP projections, on average, at 20% higher than the National average,

100% of all third graders meeting the Third Grade Reading Guarantee for 3 consecutive years,

LIS students scoring 20% higher than the state average in 3 of 5 areas, and 15% higher in all 5,

8th grade foreign language curriculum increasing from 150 students receiving HS credit to 227 students, and foreign language exposure in 7th grade increasing from 0 students to 185,

LHS increasing AP offerings to 24 courses serving 428 students, up from 291 in 2016, and our students earning AP Honor Roll for 2 years (a distinction given only to the top 3% of districts in the US and Canada), with 80% scoring a 3 or higher,

Over 40% of our LHS seniors earning college credit through AP or CCP offerings,

LHS adding 20 new elective offerings, and adding Transition to Work programming with multiple community sites,

Developing 6-12 College and Career counseling programming, and adding class-leading Teaching, Business and IT programs,

LHS ranking in Cincinnati Magazine improving to 8th out of 80 local high schools, and receiving the Momentum Award from ODE for the last three years.

And this doesn’t begin to address the improvements in gifted and special education services, social-emotional support improvements, or individual awards and accolades our students and teachers themselves have received across all of our schools. Add to that the readiness and excellent implementation of remote learning which has kept our students learning during a time no one could have predicted. Our administrators and educators have truly moved the bar higher for our students, and we should all celebrate that accomplishment.

Today, the district, its staff, students, and parents are entering an unprecedented time in our history. The right thing to do is to be positive, helpful and supportive in keeping our schools operational and our students successful. I believe we as a community will do that moving forward.

It has been an honor and privilege to have had the opportunity to serve our schools and this great community with this Board. I will continue to be a fervent supporter of Loveland Schools and our students.

Loveland Magazine TV: Mihaela Manova is Part of Loveland’s DNA!

Each citizen in Loveland makes up an important piece of the community, but in saying that it’s up to the citizen as to what they do with their role as an important piece of that community. This is what makes up a community’s “D.N.A.”

Over the past two years, Loveland Magazine has been in search of community members that truly play an important role in Loveland’s D.N.A.

by Cassie Mattia

Loveland, Ohio – Many people from all over Ohio in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic have had to find “virtual” ways to communicate with their friends, families, and co-workers. The “Zoom” application (allows you to connect and hold meetings with anyone that also has the application virtually) has skyrocketed in popularity over the past couple of months as it has proven itself to be quite a useful tool for workplaces, schools, media outlets, and local governments to connect with one another.

Due to the social distancing regulations and the Stay At Home Order, here at Loveland Magazine, we decided to try Zoom for ourselves and conduct our first virtual interview for our Loveland Magazine readers! Our segment, “What’s In Loveland’s DNA,” has featured several amazing Loveland community members over the past year and the feedback from the community about the segment itself has been overwhelmingly positive. Instead of our typical sit down one-on-one interview in our LOVELAND MAGAZINE TV studio we decided to conduct our latest DNA interview using Zoom!

Mihaela Manova

We would like to take this time to introduce our newly selected DNA candidate, Mihaela Manova. Mihaela is not only the 2nd youngest DNA candidate we have ever selected she is also the first to be interviewed using Zoom at Loveland Magazine! Mihaela is a big part of the Loveland High School culture and an even bigger part of the Loveland community. Mihaela recently joined the Loveland Magazine team as a staff writer, quickly gained her very own climate column, and was recently promoted as Editor of our Covering Climate Now series, a global journalism initiative committed to bringing more and better coverage to the defining story of our time. Mihaela is a native of Bulgaria and visits her homeland often, making her the ideal choice to cover international stories. She has already begun impacting her adopted small-town home of Loveland with her inspirational voice! Mihaela is a member of Loveland High School’s Class of 2020 and has chosen to study Journalism at Miami University-Oxford in the Fall.

Mihaela recently did her own “What’s in Loveland’s DNA” segment on Madeline Killion which you can read HERE.

Loveland Magazine Publisher David Miller had many great things to say about Mihaela!

“Being from Bulgaria, Mihaela brings a unique perspective to our newspaper and has made an enormous impact on us,” Miller said, “Her youthful honesty, respect, and complete dedication to her craft are invaluable. It’s as if we have an international reporter on staff now. She has certainly altered Loveland’s and Loveland Magazine’s DNA.”

So without further ado, LOVELAND MAGAZINE TV presents “What’s In Loveland’s DNA: Mihaela Manova!”

BOARD POLICY AND STATE LAW

WHEREAS, Ohio Revised Code §3313.48 mandates that a school district must be open for instruction with pupils in attendance for a minimum number of hours each school year; and

WHEREAS, R.C. §3313.482 authorizes a board of education to adopt a plan that permits students to make up missed hours of instruction via online/remote learning in the event that schools are closed for a disease epidemic or other reasons; and

WHEREAS, House Bill 197 (2020), which was enacted on March 27, 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic health emergency, authorizes the Loveland City School District Board of Education (the “Board”) to adopt a plan to provide for online learning opportunities for students to make up an unlimited number of hours in lieu of attendance on days when buildings are not open to students during the 2019-2020 school year in compliance with any order issued by the Ohio Director of Health and/or a local board of health; and

WHEREAS, the Board has developed a contingency plan in accordance with R.C. §3313.482 under which district students will make up any time missed through online instruction/remote learning that caused the district to fall below the minimum number of hours of instruction required by section 3313.48 of the Ohio Revised Code and Board Policy; and

WHEREAS, the Board desires to adopt said plan; and

WHEREAS, House Bill 197 (2020) also permits the Board to adjust the student grading criteria and the Board has determined it necessary to modify the method for student promotion and retention during this crisis.

Each teacher shall develop a sufficient number of lessons for the days and hours of closure.

Teachers will submit the lessons to the building principal for approval. The building principal will certify that the lessons are equal to or greater than the amount of instructional time the student missed.

As soon as practicable, the appropriate administrator will direct staff about how to make lessons available through a District approved website or other technology portal.

The teacher will be responsible for posting the lessons online.

Teachers will regularly assess the progress of students and will update or replace such lessons as necessary throughout the remainder of the school year based on the results of the assessments.

For students who experience difficulty accessing the online material or who do not have access to a computer, the Board hereby authorizes “blizzard bags” as needed, which are paper copies of the lessons/assignments posted. Teachers shall prepare paper copies approximating the content of the online lessons and shall update such paper copies when updating any of the online lessons.
