    “Fresh Press” on the Loveland Bike Trail: Grand Opening April 21st

    We knew, we only wanted to open a restaurant that would benefit our community and be an asset to people’s health. We also wanted a place where people could find food to match their healthy lifestyles as well as feel welcome despite any dietary restrictions. So we found this  beautiful 147 year old home on the Loveland Bike Trail, bought it, and hired our Uncle to general contract his first commercial job for Fresh Press. Over a year later, and we have opened our doors and are happy to be a part of this community!

  • [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

    Loveland Educating Against Alcohol and Drugs (LEAAD) joins forces with the Governor’s Office

    Start Talking! lunch a way to open communication to help students

    Members of Loveland Educating Against Alcohol and Drugs (LEAAD) met with the Stephen Caraway from the Governor’s Office Tuesday, Feb. 13, 2018 to learn about Start Talking! – an initiative to give parents, guardians, educators, business, and community leaders the tools to start the conversation with Ohio’s youth about the importance of living healthy, drug-free lives.

    Loveland, Ohio – Tuesday, Feb. 13, inside the Loveland Middle School Media Center, it was a lunch date with a purpose – help all Ohio students make good choices. At the table with Loveland Educating Against Alcohol and Drugs (LEAAD) – the office of the Ohio Governor – and on the agenda for both groups was a focused conversation on the “Start Talking!” program, an initiative to give parents, guardians, educators, business, and community leaders the tools to start the conversation with Ohio’s youth about the importance of living healthy, drug-free lives.

    “Through LEAAD, Loveland has been a leader in spearheading these – many times – difficult conversations as we work to get in front of the drug epidemic that has impacted so many people in our state,” said Loveland Interim Superintendent Dr. Amy Crouse. “We were happy to host the Governor’s regional liaison, Stephen Caraway, as he works to get the message out about the Start Talking! program. This was a healthy exchange of ideas and best practices, and we are certain the conversation will continue.”

    “Governor Kasich’s work to fight drug abuse and addiction began even before he took office, and over the last seven years, Ohio has put in place one of the nation’s most aggressive and comprehensive approaches to fighting opiate addiction and drug overdoses,” said Stephen Caraway, regional liaison to the Governor. “Ohio continues to provide tools and resources to local communities to help combat addiction and drug abuse and it is imperative that communities collaborate with those on the frontlines of this battle and put the resources to work in neighborhoods. The Governor’s Regional office appreciated the opportunity to hear about the important work of the LEAAD organization, and we encourage anyone to contact our office if they would like to have someone from Start Talking! give a presentation.

    “The evil we’re fighting continues to take on a changing face, making it essential that communities have a determined, community-based sense of commitment and a shared purpose to make progress. We’re thankful for the work you are doing in your community.”  

    LEAAD presented Right Under Your Nose Sunday, March 11, at Prince of Peace Church. Designed as an educational opportunity for adults only, Right Under Your Nose uncovers the hidden dangers that students face on a daily basis, including: substance abuse, violence, juvenile crime, technology, and risky behaviors.

  • 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.
