As I reflect upon the graduating Class of 2016, I am
reminded of how quickly life changes. Four short years
ago, these graduates were freshmen. Some of whom
were enrolled in my class. As I made my transition into
administration, these graduates were transitioning through
the high school grades. It’s amazing how long four years
seem when they are ahead of you and how quickly they’ve
passed when behind. What once caused worry for a
freshman seems like an inconsequential issue to a senior.
The voyage each graduate has chosen will certainly have
its challenges and struggles. As the graduates from the
Class of 2016 go off into the world whether it be college, the
workplace, or the armed forces, I urge them to embrace the
change and find value in the challenges. For strength comes
through struggle and wisdom comes through experience.
As we say goodbye to our graduates, we do so with our
eyes continually looking toward the future. Our preparation
begins with an assessment of the successes and failures of
the previous school year. At the high school we are eager to
welcome the incoming freshman who will be the graduating Class of 2020. We are also excited to
plan a fun-filled year of excitement and worthwhile experiences for our rising seniors of the Class of
2017. Before we all know it, the next school year will be upon us.
I would like to thank the countless number of parents, volunteers, and community partners
who have assisted, donated, and participated in the infinite number of projects and initiatives led by
Maumee High School students. I also want to urge everyone to take time this summer to recharge
their minds and bodies. Spend time with those who are most important to you. Before you know it,
we will all be back for a fabulous ‘16 - ‘17 School Year. HAVE A WONDERFUL SUMMER!

Two Maumee Seniors
Receive Chamber of

Shelby Biernacki & Kali Bomeli
Building Champions for 70 Years
Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) members from Maumee High School
learned leadership skills, attended general sessions, and competed in different events while attending the
2016 Ohio FCCLA State Leadership Conference on April 28-29 at the Ohio Expo Center in Columbus, Ohio.
The state conference gave members the opportunity to compete in STAR Events (Students Taking
Action with Recognition) that required members to use skills learned in Family and Consumer Sciences
courses. Senior Melinda Schneider competed in Interior Design, receiving a gold rating and placing 2nd in
the state. For the Interior Design competition Melinda had to design interiors that meet the living space needs
of clients. This included creating a floor plan, an elevation and a furniture/ interior plan. Freshman Delaney
Cleghorn competed in Fashion Construction, receiving a silver rating and placing 2nd in the state. For the
Fashion Construction competition Delaney had to create a garment using at least eight fashion construction
techniques. Cameron Roberts competed in Fashion Design, receiving a silver rating and placing 3rd in the
state. For the Fashion Design competition Cameron had to design and market clothing styles including
design basics, fabric choice, and pricing. Melinda and Delaney qualified in their STAR Events for the National
Leadership Conference this summer in San Diego, California. Maumee High School FCCLA Advisor Christina
Jackson was also recognized on stage as a retiring member of the Ohio FCCLA Board of Directors.
Maumee High School FCCLA members also contributed to the National FCCLA Outreach Project:
Lead2Feed by participating in Meals of Hope, which is an organization whose mission is to alleviate
hunger utilizing a hands on approach where volunteers come together to assemble highly nutritious meals.
Maumee High School FCCLA members helped to package 70,000 meals which will be donated to the MidOhio Food Bank.
Family, Career and Community Leaders of America is a dynamic and effective national student
organization that helps young men and women become leaders and addresses important personal, family,
work, and social issues through Family & Consumer Sciences and related Career and Technical Education
programs. The organization has involved over ten million youth since its founding in 1945. FCCLA is unique
among youth organizations because it is the only national in-school organization with the family as its
central focus. Participation in national programs and chapter activities helps members become strong
leaders in their families, careers, and communities.

ATHLETIC ACTIVITIES
Attention
Sports Participants and
Families New Online Registration
Available this Summer
If your kids are involved in athletic programs,
you know the routine ... schedule an appointment
with your family physician for an athletic physical,
begin setting up dates in your home calendar, attend
sports meetings, pay for spirit packs and the annual
participation fees, etc.
We are trying to make things a little easier on
you! Instead of having a mandatory pre-season
meeting in late July, the MHS Athletic Department
is utilizing Registration Manager thru our website,
maumeepanthers.org. Signing up for sports has never
been easier! Mobile-friendly for busy parents in our
community, VNN’s paperless registration will help us
manage athletes, collect payments, auto-create rosters
on our website, and stay compliant with district and
safety regulations through eSignature and document
upload technology.
Your son/daughter’s coaches will still schedule
a sport-specific meeting, but you will not need to
sit through a general session. All online registration
documents and activities must be completed before a
student-athlete can be eligible for participation.
