    Unexpected inspiration at Loveland Intermediate School

    Teachers use paint for positive reinforcement

    Loveland, Ohio – A few cans of paint and a holiday weekend spent working was all a group of Loveland Intermediate School (LIS) fifth grade teachers needed to create some unexpected messages for the female students they teach. When their students returned from Veteran’s Day Weekend, they were greeted with inspirational quotes painted across all of the walls in the bathroom.

    “We saw a post online about a middle school that did this exact thing, and we loved the idea because so often girls are bombarded with society’s views about what they should look like and what society believes about girls,” said LIS Teacher Jennifer Burkhardt. “We wanted to surround them with words to remind them that they are beautiful, strong, smart, and loved just the way they are and that being kind and doing their best is the most important thing.”

    It was an act of kindness by a Loveland nonprofit that funded the plan. JUST BECAUSE GRANTS were awarded to the teachers to purchase the supplies.

    “It is fantastic, and the message is so important for our students to hear,” said LIS Principal Garth Carlier. “This initiative speaks to the care our teachers have for our students, which is also one of the strategic goals for our district – Tiger Care. These students deserve to know how special they are; this is the perfect daily reminder.”

    Mike Fackler likes to be ahead of the game. In fact, the first time he contacted Macy’s about an internship, he was still in high school. “We couldn’t hire him as an intern then,” said Elena Pfarr, director of Environmental Services at Macy’s. “But I was so impressed with his initiative; I invited him to reconnect and he was eligible for an internship.” Fackler did, and he spent this summer working with Pfarr on multiple projects.

  • Champions Tour through Loveland for Loveland Women Division I State Soccer Champs

    Champions Tour through Loveland for Loveland Women Division I State Soccer Champs

    Dear Loveland Community and Tiger Nation, 

    We want to make you aware of the plans in place to honor our outstanding State Champion Lady Tigers Soccer Team. The student-athletes and their coaches have requested to conduct a Champions Tour through our school district and community on Friday, Dec. 8. Loveland police and fire officials will be escorting the team during this tour, which includes the following stops:

    ·         8:30 – 8:45 a.m. – Loveland Elementary School

    ·         8:45 – 9 a.m. – Loveland Primary School

    ·         9:15 – 9:30 a.m. – Loveland Early Childhood Center

    ·         9:45 – 10 a.m. – Loveland Middle School

    ·         10:15 – 11 a.m. – Loveland Board Office

    ·         11 – 11:15 a.m. – Loveland Intermediate School

    ·         2 – 2:20 p.m. – Loveland High School (There will be a video shown in the gym which highlights the season and the journey.)

    Please feel free to join us at any of the stops we are making along the tour. 

    The team made the decision to proceed in this fashion because they want an opportunity to thank Tiger Nation for supporting and cheering for them during this amazing state run, and the two dates proposed for a community parade were in direct conflict with plans the girls had that could not be rearranged.

    Additionally, the Loveland Board of Education will recognize the State Champion Lady Tigers Soccer Team at the 6 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 12, Board Business Meeting held at the Loveland Intermediate School Media Center. All members of the Tiger Family are invited to attend this event.

    Symmes Township is recognizing the winning team 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 5, at a Township meeting. Tuesday, Jan. 9, Loveland City Council will honor the team at the scheduled city council meeting, and 7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 16, Miami Township has also invited the team to join them at one of their business meetings.  

    The Loveland Athletic Department will induct the entire 2017 Lady Tigers Soccer Team into our Loveland High School Athletic Hall of Fame during halftime of our Tiger basketball games vs. Kings Friday, Dec. 15.

    Finally, our Loveland Athletic Boosters are generously going to purchase State Championship rings for our student-athletes and coaches. When the rings come in, we will organize a public ring ceremony event, where all are welcome.

    We are so proud of the Lady Tigers Soccer Team accomplishments and all they have achieved. Please help us celebrate their success at one of the above events, and for the events currently unscheduled, please look for additional details to come.

    My Best and Go Tigers!

Rotary of Northeast Cincinnati presented Dr. Lorenz with the distinguished honor at the 2017 Community Awards Celebration Thursday, Oct. 12, at the Cooper Creek Event Center in Blue Ash.

    “Dr. Lorenz is a true champion of education, and has dedicated her life to enriching the lives of students – both in her profession as a professor of French at the University of Cincinnati where she taught since 1993, and in her home community of Loveland where she has served on the Board of Education since 1991,” said Loveland Interim Superintendent Dr. Amy Crouse. “She has true passion for education, and there is no one more deserving of this honor than her. We all – sincerely – congratulate her on this recognition.”

  • Ned Portune has this to say about his election to Loveland School Board

    Ned Portune has this to say about his election to Loveland School Board

    by Ned Portune,

    I would like to sincerely thank the parents and residents within the Loveland School District for electing me to the Board of Education and allowing me to serve in this capacity – it is an honor and privilege to do so. And, I want to thank my wife Lisa, my family, and the many parents and friends who urged me to step into this role and who supported me along the way.

    I also want to take a moment to thank outgoing members Dave Blumberg and Tim Taggart for their service on the Board. Both Mr. Blumberg and Mr. Taggart have served Loveland faithfully during their tenures – and I have no doubt they will both remain actively engaged in the community and our schools. If you bump into either one of them around Loveland, please take the time to thank them yourselves for their service to our students and community.

    My goal in running for the Board of Education was simple – to bring a voice to the Board with a wide background of experiences, personal and professional, that I believe can benefit our district as it grows into the future. While I will be only one of five on the Board, I will use that voice to promote a culture of high expectations and an infrastructure of solid supports where each student is given the best opportunity to achieve to their potential.

    There will certainly be a lot to do in the upcoming months, and I look forward to being a part of our growth and our students’ successes. Thank you all again. Go Tigers!

    My Voice, My Choice award presentation takes center stage during football game

    Loveland, Ohio – The Loveland City School District congratulated students district-wide who were selected to receive the My Voice, My Choice award during a ceremony at the Loveland High School varsity football game Friday, Sept. 22. Loveland Interim Superintendent Dr. Amy Crouse presented each student a certificate and shirt as part of the ceremony.

    “These are students who have demonstrated Tiger Care – which is one of our big three district goals – it’s about developing relationships, showing empathy and taking a leadership role to be an ‘upstander’ for fellow classmates, meaning they stand up for other students when needed,” said Crouse. “The My Voice, My Choice campaign is integral to who we are as Tigers, and we could think of no better place to honor these students than in this public arena with our community as our audience.”

    The My Voice, My Choice Campaign is focused on creating a positive school climate for all students. Specifically, the campaign promotes student leadership through standing up for their peers through their words and actions.
