HOOPS FOR HOPE

On Saturday, the Lady Vikings Basketball team held their annual Hoops for Hope Game!

Proceeds from the Hoops for Hope game will be donated to Hospice of Miami County.  Thanks to everyone that participated this year.  Both communities raised $3,298 for Hospice. This brings the Lady Vikings Hoops for Hope Grand total to over $10,274 in 7 years. Thank you to both communities!

The Miami East After Prom will be hosting a quarter auction on Sunday, January 30th at 2:00 p.m.  Entry and first paddle will be $5.00.  Food and beverages will be available for purchase.  This is a fun and inexpensive way to get great stuff and support the after-prom committee.  If you have any questions, contact Jenni Kirby.

Keep in Touch

Just a reminder, this cannot be stressed enough.  If anyone in your household is being tested...everyone needs to stay home until you receive the results.  If in doubt… please contact Dr. Rappold before sending your son/daughter to school.  It takes everyone’s teamwork to ensure everyone is safe.

Free lunches offered to all students Extended

Miami East Local is excited to continue offering all its students a free Type A lunch extending thru May 27th.  All students in grade K-12 have the opportunity to receive free lunch each school day thru May 27, 2022.

All students are eligible to receive a free tray lunch. Additional items, such as a la carte selections, extra meals, or extra milks will have to be paid for by the student.

This opportunity continues the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Ohio Department of Education’s dedication to meeting the needs of the whole child during the COVID-19 pandemic.

$2.60 each day X 5 days =$13.00
Your family could save $13.00 each week by taking advantage of the free lunches every student at Miami East can receive.  Every student at Miami East is entitled to a free lunch, and does not have to complete any paperwork.

THANK YOU from the Miami East Education Foundation Board Members . .

To Todd and Krystal Smith (Eloquence Catering) for generously declaring their Wednesday, October 20, 2021 community dinner a “Spirit Dinner” to benefit the Foundation.

And to the 390 spirited Miami East supporters who purchased Todd and Krystal’s tasty meals!

The winners of this fantastic outpouring of support? Miami East students! Because each meal purchased contributes to a scholarship for a MEHS graduate or to a learning-enhancement project or equipment for a ME K-12 class.

BUS SAFETY

Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade students were treated to bus safety from our bus drivers this week. Students now better understand how to be safe when riding the bus. Thank you drivers, PTO volunteers and Miss Byrne for setting this up.

Final Forms is Open and ready for parents to start as of August 1st.  The Final Forms student registration process is for all students who attended during the 2020-2021 school year and new incoming students.  Incoming Kindergarten students who had already completed their Final Forms during the spring screening do not have to register again.  Go to the Front page of the Miami East Website to begin.
