Andy’s Message

Dear Parents,

This was a short week, but an eventful week. I continue to be amazed by the support of all the volunteers at this school. The Hot Lunch Program got off to a smooth start thanks to the countless volunteers.

Several parents turned out this Wednesday to help make picture day a huge success, and Mrs. Julie and Mrs. Jeanie were very thankful.

Finally, we had a terrific show of support for the OHSPA meeting on Thursday.

On Friday, students were excited to be greeted by a handful of University of Toledo football players, and they were extra excited to get tickets for Saturday's game.

Friday also marked the 25th anniversary of 9/11, and students paid tribute with a moment of silence and created tributes with sidewalk chalk. Overall, it was an exciting week to be a Green Bear!

Peace,

Andy Evans

Girl Scout Troop 1189, Bronze Award Project

Our 5th Grade Girl Scout Troop is currently working on our Bronze Award. The Bronze Award is a community service project and the highest award a Junior Girl Scout can earn.

Troop 1189 has decided to work towards collecting 500 lbs. of plastic lids in partnership with Green Tree Plastics. The company will melt down the plastic into "lumber" and assemble it into a picnic table.

The girls plan to place it at the sledding hill on Brookside Rd. They have already presented to Village Council, and their project was approved!

We are now in the collection phase of the project. Our hope is to be finished collecting by April.

There will be collection containers located at:

HS/JS

Elementary

The Village Offices on Richards Road

Stadium Concession Stand for folks to donate their caps as they purchase water bottles during the games.
