We are currently in the process of wrapping up this past school year and beginning preparations for next year. Randy Ebling has retired as the AD/Director of Student Activities/Facilities Manager. I am very grateful to Randy for stepping in and taking over this program a few years ago. I believe that we have hired an excellent replacement in Scott Grant. Scott comes to us from Findlay City Schools where he was a high school teacher, Golf coach, and assistant AD. He brings a youthful energy to the program and I am sure that he will do a good job of taking our athletic department to the next level. We are currently interviewing for the positions of head boys basketball, a high school English position, and a middle school Science position. I hope to have these positions filled by the end of June. Additionally, the board will begin interviewing for a new Treasurer to replace Jan August who will be retiring in December. Financially, the district is expected to begin deficit spending next year. Thankfully, we have a good carryover balance and will use our funds as effectively and efficiently as possible. Just like you would do at home when expenses outgrow your pay check, you start to cut back. Even though you have money in the savings account you know it won’t last forever. Hopefully, with the state’s financial situation showing some improvement and an improved local economy, we will be able to make our “savings account” last as long as possible. The board offered to sell the house at 207 S. Main St. to be relocated to a different location in April. No one attended the sale nor has anyone made inquiries about the house since then. The board will be looking at selling any of the Victorian woodwork, radiators, doors, etc. before beginning removal of the house. Please contact my office if anyone is interested in some of these materials. A formal notice will be appearing in the local paper and information will be available soon on the district website. The district has just received a report from the Ohio Schools Facilities Commission (OSFC) reviewing the condition of our facilities. This report outlines millions of dollars in repairs and remodeling that need to be done to our buildings to bring them up to today’s standards. The board will be reviewing this report and other information to determine what should be done to our existing facilities. After the board has had a chance to review this information, a potential community meeting could be scheduled next fall to present this information to the public. Thank you to everyone who helped to make the 2010-2011 school year another successful year for the Van Buren Schools. Enjoy your summer! August 24 will be here before you know it.

Two benches rest outside of the auditorium lobby and the third is in the medieval garden between the two schools. The bench in the garden is a memorial to all those students who have passed away while attending Van Buren Schools. Congratulations to Callie Bays on Receiving This Year's Rieck’s Award Established in 1998 as a joint effort between the Hancock County ESC and Kent Weaver, owner of Rieck’s Gallery in Findlay, this award seeks to promote the visual arts by honoring its recipient with a place in the hallway of the ESC building as well as a monetary gift of $300. The Rieck’s Gallery Award is given to a senior art student who intends on pursuing a career in the visual arts - whether as an educator, professional artist, or a creator in the realm of design. Former recipients have gone on to schools such as Columbus School of Art and Design and local universities. The purpose of this honor is twofold. Not only does the Rieck’s Gallery Award seek to promote the arts in Hancock County, it also gives a venue for display and presentation of art and artists. In the past, pictures and articles have appeared in local papers as well as the ESC monthly newsletter. Kent Weaver also places the artwork on display at his gallery for one month after the award has been presented. The permanent location for the piece will be at the HCESC. Callie is the daughter of Brian and Cheryl Bays. She will attend the University of Cincinnati and major in Graphic Design, and her high school art teacher was Rhonda Nye. Labor of Love by Van Buren Students On Monday, May 16, Van Buren High School held their third annual Locks of Love hair-cutting ceremony in memory of former student Amanda Simon, who was a member of the class of 2010. This year’s donations came from 31 individuals who all were willing to give their hair for various reasons. Some had family members who were affected by cancer, and others saw this as an opportunity to give hope to someone who might be struggling with the effects of chemotherapy. Regardless of the reason they gave, the 95 ponytails that were cut will be used to either create wigs or financially support the Locks of Love organization so they can continue to offer their services to cancer patients. This year’s participants were Briony Brink, Lydia Brown, Jordan Cassidy, Devon Causey, Jenna Cortez, Cathy Dewey, Jessica Domke, Miranda Eaton, Lexi Edwards, Missi Edwards, Rebekah Frampton, Rebecca Franks, Chloe Hollar, Tabitha Lewis, Cyndi Lako, Shaina Lako, Makade Miarer, Alyssa Potteiger, Preston Potteiger, Sarah Reichenbaugh, Hailey Routzon, Terri Sattler, Teresa Schultz, Hope Serrano, Natasha Simons, Ally Strong, Emma Strong, Tori Swain, Emily Toupalik, Catelyn Vermillion, and Mandy Vermillion. Thank you to everyone who participated this year, and we are looking for even more people to donate next year. This opportunity is open for any community members, so if you have any questions or would like to participate, contact Michael Daniels at 419299-3384 ext. 410.

Sixth grade students found out firsthand by participating in “Disability Awareness Day” on May 26. Students were inspired to learn more about disabilities after reading the realistic fiction, Freak the Mighty. The two main characters are learning disabled and handicapped. To help students understand disabilities, each one was “inflicted” with a certain disease or syndrome. They researched their condition Justin Waller tries out an adaptive bike with assistance from and then came to school Mr. Marshall. with a particular physical or cognitive disability. Then on May 27, guest speaker, Mike Miles, helped students get a feel for what people with disabilities must do to participate in activities that they often take for granted by allowing them to try out some adaptive equipment. He also showed them his car that has been adapted with hand controls. Mike lives in Findlay with his wife and son and works for the Sandusky County Board of Developmental Disabilities. He was formerly employed by the Abilities Center of Toledo, Wood County Board of Developmental Disabilities, and the Hancock County Board of Developmental Disabilities. He graduated from Liberty Benton High School where he was a multi-sport athlete. During his college years he was involved in a car accident that left him without the use of his legs. However, Mike decided that he would not allow that to affect his love of sports. He not only got involved in wheelchair basketball, softball, golf, and tennis, but he also became an advocate for those with disabilities. He has travelled all over the United States and other countries playing in international, national, and local tournaments. He also helps people with disabilities find the adaptive equipment they need to be able to participate in their favorite activities. Riley Adolph plays wheelchair basketball with Mike Miles. June 2011 Knightly News Page 13 Elementary News Kids Walk for Special Olympics This year the elementary students and staff ended the year learning more about the Special Olympics and helping the Area 3 Special Olympics. We had two goals for this year’s Last Day Walk. The first goal was to help encourage respect for Special Olympics athletes. Did you know that some area Special Olympics athletes train every day for their sport? Did you know that anyone with an intellectual disability age 8 or older can compete in the Special Olympics? Did you know that some Special Olympics athletes compete at the national and world level? For a wonderful video about the Special Olympics, check this out http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=m1Tf8lwC5R8&feature=youtu.be. Our second goal was to raise funds to help the Area 3 Ohio Special Olympics buy medals. We raised $646.43 through the generous donations of students and staff at Van Buren Elementary. This money will help Area 3 buy medals for local competitions. Area 3 covers Hancock and Putnam County plus other counties in northwest Ohio. For more information about the Ohio Special Olympics (they are always looking for athletes and volunteers) or to make a donation, visit www.sooh.org or contact Audrey Beining at [email protected]. This is the fifth year the elementary has ended the last day of school with a “Walk” and once again the Clyde-Findlay Area Credit Union donated bottles of water for everyone. Thank you! Elementary Last Day Picnic This year’s Last Day Picnic was another successful event! Special thanks to all who gave a donation of time and/or money, especially: • • • • • • • • All the VB kids who donated $1 Chris McKinley - he provided the grill and grilled all those hot dogs in the intense heat Max & Erma’s Restaurant - they provided a FREE Sundae Bar for everyone – ice cream, toppings, bowls, and even spoons Coca-Cola – donated most of the beverages Van Buren Elementary Parents Association – paid for the picnic beyond what was donated and they also helped with shopping for the food and supplies Chris McMonigal – ordered food and arranged for delivery to the school Nicole Seitz and 40+ additional volunteers gladly served food, squeezed ketchup bottles, swept the floor, etc. Many more people deserve thanks for helping with our traditional Last Day Picnic – THANK YOU!

After countless performances together (most of these students have been together for at least three years), the 2011 graduates joined together with next year’s seniors as they performed “Omnia Sol” in their last performance together at Van Buren at the High School Awards Assembly. While most middle school students were enjoying sleeping in on Memorial Day, the students in the band were playing at a Memorial Day Ceremony to honor the fallen heroes of our Armed Services. The middle school band alternates with the high school band every other year to have the honor to participate in the annual services at Bechtel Cemetery. Mr. Vaughn leads the full “inaugural” Varsity Choir for the final time. Mr. Eakin prepares to lead the middle school band at services in Bechtel Cemetery. May was Music Month at Van Buren The Sound of Music filled the halls at Van Buren Schools in May as every student of music was involved in a concert during the last month of the school year. The middle school was the first to hold their concert on May 10 as both band and choir students delighted their parents and friends alike. The elementary students held their Art Extravaganza on May 12 featuring the Fifth Grade Band and songs by each grade. The event had a patriotic theme and was dedicated to our community’s veterans. After the concert, the students had a chance to show off their art work. The High School Spring Awards was the final concert and featured Men’s and Women’s Chorus, the Varsity Choir (Jr./Sr.) and Mixed Chorus (Fr./Soph.). A first time event at the concert was the Robing Ceremony in which the senior members passed their stoles to next year’s junior members. Jessica Domke and Joseph Simon were awarded Choral Director’s Awards for their outstanding service to the choir. The evening finished with selections from the High School Concert Band. The Music Boosters would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate Mr. Rick Eakin, winner of the 2011 Golden Apple Award as the outstanding High School teacher in Hancock County! As a final farewell, the senior choir member sang “May You Always Have a Song” at their Graduation on May 29. Have a Safe and Enjoyable Summer Vacation Annual Music Department Picnic Set for July 13 Van Buren State Park is the place to be on Wednesday, July 13 if you have a student in band or choir next year. This is a great time to celebrate the past year and look forward to next year. It’s also a good time to just visit with friends and get to know the directors. The fun begins at 5:30 P.M. with dinner served at 6:00 P.M. and is open to all music students and their families. The Boosters provide the meat and drinks, families are asked to bring a side dish to share and their table service. Feel free to bring along some yard games to add to the fun!
