Area youth have come
together in the hopes of convincing the Springfield
Township trustees to permit
a skateboard park in the
township.
At the trustees’ August
19 meeting, several of the
youths led by adult skateboarder Trent McRitchie
discussed the issue.
Township administrator
Leslie Kohli said she and
Mr. McRitchie met prior to
the meeting to review possible locations for the skateboard facility.
They visited Bear Creek,
Carmella Gardens, Community Homecoming and Lincoln Green parks. “We
thought Lincoln Green Park
might be a good location. It
has a lot of room,” said Ms.
Kohli, adding, “The first
step is to come to you to see
if this is a conducive location.”
Trustee Andy Glenn
questioned whether a place
is available in Holland.
Ms. Kohli said Mayor
Mike Yunker does not
believe there is sufficient
space at Strawberry Acres or
Caboose parks to house a
skateboarding facility.
Trustee Bob Bethel asked
if there is room on the
school’s Raymil Road property, site of the baseball field
complex.
Both Mr. Glenn and Ms.
Kohli expressed concern
that the location is too hidden.
Concerns over what
could happen overnight,
prompted Mr. Glenn to ask
about security. “We need a
way to lock down the facility at night. Could we set up
an arrangement for the sheriff [department] to lock it at
night?”
Mr. Bethel also pointed
out that a key issue with the
facility is cost. “Do you
have any rough estimates?”
he asked.
Mr. Glenn said foundations have been established
by skateboarders such as
Tony Hawk that provide
grants to build a skate park.
Mr. McRitchie said the
skateboarders are in the preliminary stages and waiting
to see if a skateboard park is
feasible in the township.
“The first thing is location,” he said. Once a location has been determined,
the skateboarding community needs to obtain funding,
set up programs and determine how the park will be
operated.
He said there are many
factors to consider when
building the facility, and
commented on Sylvania’s
skateboarding park which is
situated between two baseball fields.
He does not believe that
location represented the best
planning, noting that skateboarders often heckle players in the outfield.
Other things such as surface material surrounding
the park must be considered.
Mulch, which can result in
cuts and abrasions for skateboarders who land in it, may
not be the best choice, he
added.
Mr. McRitchie also
acknowledged that park
security is important. He
believes the skateboard
organization in charge of the
park should monitor it during normal hours of operation and ban or remove anyone who fails to obey posted
park rules.
A secure fence also
should be constructed and

Improving the system of
education in Ohio is the
goal of the Higher Education Study Committee of the
Ohio House of Representatives.
The committee met
August 20 at Penta Career
Center to hear from education officials what the state
can do to improve the transition from K-12 to higher
education and the workforce.
“A high-quality education system is critical not
only for individuals’ success
but also the long-term viability of Ohio’s economy,”
said Cliff Rosenberger,
committee chair.
“The Higher Education
Study Committee is an
opportunity to follow up on
outstanding issues raised
during the budget process as
well as identify additional
policies designed to
strengthen Ohio’s education
system,” he continued. “It is
my hope that information
gathered through these hearings will form the basis for
initiatives designed to support and expand ongoing
reform.”
Topics addressed by educators at the meeting included dual enrollment programs, improved student
preparation/reducing remediation rates, developmental
education reform, higher
education–high school
alignment project, career
counseling and what parents
need to know about higher
education.
State Representative Tim
Brown of Wood County
welcomed the committee to
the area.
“The work of this committee is critical to enhancing our education system so
that every child can reach
their full potential,” he said.
“A student’s ability to develop their own skills through
Ohio’s education system is
critical to paving the path to
college or being immediately competitive in the workforce.”
Mr. Rosenberger expressed his appreciation to
Penta Superintendent Ron
Matter for hosting the event.
“I’m really glad Penta is one
of the stops. It’s truly a great
organization,” he said.
Mr. Matter thanked the
committee for allowing him
to provide testimony regarding education. He began by
noting that Penta is the oldest career center in Ohio,
opening in 1965.
This year, the center will
serve more than 1,450 students at its main campus in
Perrysburg Township and
more than 2,800 in satellite
BOE hears bus route concerns,
hires personnel for 2013-14
By Jane Maiolo
Concerns for the safety
of her granddaughter and
about a dozen other students
prompted Colleen Leon of
Cheswick Road to address
the Springfield Board of
Education at the August 28
meeting.
Ms. Leon, who resides in
the Lincoln Green subdivision, asked the board to consider another bus stop closer
to her home and that of
other middle school and
high school students.
She noted that a bus stop
used to be located closer to
her home but at some point
was eliminated.
Ms. Leon said her granddaughter walks three blocks,
to the stop and is out of Ms.
Leon’s line of vision.
“Our neighborhood has
gone down hill,” she said,
and expressed concern about
her granddaughter and other
children walking to the bus
stop during the winter
months when mornings are
dark.
She noted that her granddaughter is “scared” to walk
there in the mornings.
Ms. Leon concluded, “It
would make me feel
good–so many children live
in this area. I just want it
[bus stop] back to where it
was before.”
When several board
members said they were
having trouble visualizing
the area, Transportation
Director John Kahmann
offered to print out a map.
Board President Ken
Musch said the board will
review the map before making a decision.
Personnel
The board approved the
employment of personnel
for 2013-14.
Hired were Su Johnson,
administrative substitute;
Jamee Carr (Crissey Elementary), Bethany Howe
(Holland Elementary),
Samantha George, Leah
Whitacre and Kathryn Delph

The board also approved
change of assignments for
Amanda O’Connor from
Title 1 at Holloway to first
grade at Dorr Elementary,
$38,035; Kathryn Word
from Title I at Crissey to
kindergarten at Dorr,
$42,160, and Amanda Smith
from Title 1 at Holloway to
kindergarten at Holland,
$40,052.
Classified change of
programs at its 16 member
schools.
The
superintendent
shared three quotes with the
committee made by officials
in 1966 when the school
opened.
“We must find jobs and
employment for our young
people who are entering the
labor market....this is a duty
for every elected Democrat
and every elected Republican. We must create a climate for business and industry to remain here and to
come here.”–Governor
James Rhodes
The second quote came
from John Marshall Briley,
president of the Ohio Board
of Regents, “Jobs cannot be
created unless people are
equipped to fill them. We
are anxious to see success in
this endeavor which has
such an impact on industrial
development.”
In his final quote, Mr.
Matter cited the words of
Alan Loofbourrow, group
vice president of powertrain
for Chrysler Corporation.
“Considering this nationwide shortage of trained
manpower, it stands to reason that the parts of our
country which do the best
job of educating and training young people are going
to have the most success in
attracting new industry. I
can tell you from experience
that it is a lot easier to find
bricks and mortar today than
it is to find the people to
man the machines in a complex industrial plant. Wherever an expanding company
can find the people it needs,
it will bring the bricks, mortar and machines.”
The
superintendent
shared the quotes for a reason. “Here we are almost 50
years removed from when
these remarks were shared,
and they are just as relevant
today as they were in 1966,”
he said.
“The fact is that in 2013
we are still dealing with this
same issue which is now
compounded by mounting
$20.00 per year
Please Recycle This Newspaper
debt and rising tuition for
post-secondary students and
a perception that the only
‘college’ of value is a fouryear degree. We know that
could not be further from
the truth,” he continued.
“A four-year degree is
not the beat all to end all,”
he added.
He expressed his belief
that career technical education is “more important
than ever.”
Mr. Matter cited U.S.
Department of Labor statistics which indicate that by
next year, 45 percent of all
jobs in this country will fall
in a “skills gap, requiring
more than a high school
diploma but less than a
bachelor’s degree.”
By 2020, 80 percent of
all U.S. jobs are projected to
require some type of skilled
labor, he added.
“Career tech education is
proud to say that career tech
equals jobs in Ohio. We are
not the right place for all
students, but there are a lot
more who should take
advantage of what career
tech has to offer, through
our career centers and adult
options,” he concluded.
Following his testimony,
committee members questioned the superintendent.
“What can we do to participate more at the state
level?” asked Representative Christina Hagan, also
questioning whether there
are areas the state is falling
short on providing resources
for students.
Mr. Matter said it would
be helpful to learn from
employers statewide the certifications they would like
trained workers to have in
different trades. “We need to
meet with employers to see
what they are looking for.”
The committee also
questioned how Penta officials decide which career
technical programs should
have instruction provided.
The
superintendent
explained that advisory
committees in each program

Committee.
keep students up-to-date
with the latest skills and
technology.
The school also monitors
statistics from the Bureau of
Labor to determine job
skills needed in the geographic region and partners
with local businesses as an
additional resource.
When asked if students’
skills are contributing to the
region, Mr. Matter responded that students work directly with businesses as part of
their training.
The school receives
phone calls from businesses
seeking students with a specific skill or ability, he said,
but Penta doesn’t always
have a program that offers
the skills an employer is
seeking.
“It’s vital to get information from the employers as
to what’s needed and get the
word out to parents. We
need to get people specifically prepared for a job, not
just a degree,” he added.
Rep. Brown questioned
the stereotype people have
regarding vocational education. “How do we fix the
mentality? We are not helping students get where they
need to be.”
He also noted that postWorld War II parents, seeking a better life for their
children beyond factory
work, began encouraging
college education, which
has since become rooted in
the American psyche.
“How do we change the
dynamic of how people
think?” he asked.
Mr. Matter admitted that
that changing the perception
is a “critical piece” and
suggests career counseling
and marketing not just for
students but for parents
whose perceptions are based
on what schools were like in
the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s.
“At Penta, we take it one
day at a time,” he said,
adding, “There is honor in
all work.”

at the hearing were Mike
Bower, president of Owens
Community College; Kathy
Vasquez, associate vice
president of government

Girls tennis team experiences ups and downs at midseason
By Sean Maiolo
Entering her 13th season as the head coach of
the Blue Devils girls tennis
squad, Gina Ciminillo
expected improvement
from last year but also
some struggles as the girls
rounded into a very solid
team by year’s end.
She had plenty of reason, and still does, for optimism, having seven out of
her eight-player rotation
returning from last season.
Adding to that, the new girl
on the block, Sulli Sanders,
made the rotation as freshman, something only a talented few manage.
“She’s probably one of
our best athletes on the
team, and she’s a freshman,” Ciminillo said. “She
came over from the volleyball team, too–and I was
lucky enough to get her.
She’s just multi-talented
and athletic.”
The coach added that
Sanders’ and doubles partner, junior Haley Baxter,
have formed quite a
dynamic duo as the first
doubles team.
“She’s really wowed me
this fall,” the coach said.
“She and Sulli are playing
really well together, except
for last night [August 27 at
Anthony Wayne], but they
won a tournament together
last weekend. So they’re
really coming along, and
I’m really happy with
them.”
Ciminillo also determined her lineup through a
sort of playoff system
meant to encourage competition and continuous
growth and development.
Hers is a pretty simple
setup employed in the
practices preceding the real
matches.
“If I play you and I beat
you then I’m better than
you and I’m the first singles and you’d be second
singles,” she said.
Several of her players
also manage to play almost
year-round through tennis
lessons and other tennis
clubs. That effort pays dividends, she said, and it
showed notably in junior
Macey Mauriello.
“[She’s] most of the
time third singles right
now, beating out the girl
from third singles last year
because her hard work has
paid off,” said Ciminillo.
“She was our most
improved player last year
and she played doubles last
year, but she’s worked her
way up to the singles lineup.”
But nearing the halfway
point already in their season, she’s seen the good,
the bad and, unfortunately,
the ugly in a season that
has been consistently
defined by its inconsistency.
“We get too excited
sometimes, and we over hit
or our footwork’s bad or
we don’t follow through,”
Ciminillo said. “It’s just
the same stuff and [our
opponents] are just more
consistent than we are and
that’s the difference.”
In their first eight
matches, the girls have
compiled a 5-3 record,
including their first NLL
bout at Anthony Wayne,
one in which Ciminillo
said they lost more than the
Generals won.
“We have to work on
our consistency and our
focus,” she stressed. “We
beat ourselves. We probably hit about 80 percent
errors to 20 percent of their
winners.
“I’m happy with 5-3
right now [even though]
we’re kind of seventh,
eighth place in the league
right now with Maumee.
But if we’re going to move
up to the middle of the
pack or the upper echelon
of the NLL, we’ve got to
beat some of these better
teams and it’s going to take
mental toughness, it’s
going to take consistency
and focus and cutting down
our errors and better footwork.”
Despite the frustration
that comes from unforced
errors and lapses in focus,
Ciminillo is confident that
they are correctable and
that once they are, things
could look dramatically
better in the second half of
the season.
“The
difference
between good and great is
just a little bit, and we’re a
good team but we’re not a
great team,” she said.
“Once we fine tune some
of these mistakes we can
be a great team. We’re
going to upset some of the
big dogs in the league, so
to speak. We just haven’t
done that yet.”
The team also will benefit from the return of one
of their top singles players
in junior Nikki Geiser who
missed the last two matches. Ciminillo said she
hopes to have Geiser back
following the holiday
weekend.
And although things
have been far from perfect,
Ciminillo believes her preseason expectations remain
well within reach, including a personal milestone of
100 career wins as coach.
She sat at 98 wins as of
August 28.
“We wanted to have a
winning season, and if we
can get to eight wins not
counting the tournaments,
that’d be a .500 season
after going 7-9 last year so
that’d be an improvement,”
she said. “I’d love to get
somebody to districts, also
because we haven’t had
that in about five or six
years. I think it’s possible.
Anything’s possible.”

their testimonies follow.
Mike Bower
Mr. Bower spoke on
workforce training, dual
enrollment and developmental education.
Workforce Training–
“Owens provides apprenticeship training in more than 75
trades and works closely
with each trade, monitoring
classes and instruction,” he
said. “Apprentices in these
programs earn technical
credits to complete the associate degree.”
“We urge you to place a
high value on this type of
training and recognize the
critical role this skill set
brings to furthering Ohio’s
economy. Not every Ohioan
is destined to earn a fouryear degree, but they still
hold an enormous value to
the state’s workforce and
economic development
goals.”
Dual Enrollment–Noting
that Penta and Owens
through a dual enrollment
agreement enrolled 560 students last year who earned
more than 2,100 credits, the
president applauded the
statewide effort toward
implementing these programs.
However, he expressed
concern over the funding
method. “The revenue
model needs revising to better reflect contributions of
higher education in administering the program and to
cover our costs,” he said.
Developmental Education– “It is common for students to come to us needing
a two or three course
sequence of developmental
education before they can
even register for college
level courses. This holds students back,” he said.
To help students, Mr.
Bower said the college
implemented a program in
math which now makes it
possible for students to
move through the sequences
faster than the traditional
one course per semester and
improves retention rates.

“It should be monitored
all the time,” he added.
Ms. Kohli said she and
Mr. McRitchie discussed the
skateboarding community
establishing a nonprofit
organization, with a mission
to construct and operate the
park.
“The township’s role will
be to provide the property,”
she said.
Mr. McRitchie said skateboarding, an American sport,
continues to grow as youth
from all walks of life become
involved in the activity.
“It’s actually becoming a
huge sport,” he added.

Kathy Vasquez
Ms. Vasquez discussed
issues with health care.
“Ohio is facing some very
significant health care challenges,” she said.
Noting the aging population, she added, “A full continuum of educational programs and support for them
over a substantial period of
time is essential to Ohio producing an adequate supply
of health care professionals
to care for citizens.”
She suggested expanding
programs that open young
minds as early as possible to
career possibilities.
She expressed concern
about the lack of health professionals in the future.
“Even with an adequate supply of vocationally trained
individuals within two years
of today, there will still be
an undersupply of more
highly trained professionals,
largely the professionals
who vocationally trained
individuals depend upon to
create the job settings,” she
said.
Educational costs also are
a factor for those entering
health care professions. “The
best way to handle that is to
provide more scholarships,”
she suggested.
She concluded, “Investment in higher education in
the health professions is
good for individual physical
health, the public’s health
and Ohio’s economic
health.”
Shawn Grime
Mr. Grime spoke on the
importance that all students
receive good school counseling so they are college or
career ready after graduation.
“I ask the committee to
consider recommendations
from the Ohio School Counselor Association that would
strengthen the school counseling profession.
“We recommend legislation that would mandate K12 school counseling and
implement ratios to ensure
access to adequate school
counseling services.”
He noted that the American School Counselor Association recommends a student to counselor ratio of
250 to 1, adding that in Ohio
the ratio is 480 to 1 “ranking
Ohio 39th in the country.”
Several Holland men were
among those recently arrested
by the Wood County Sheriff’s
Office in a series of prostitution solicitation enforcement
operations in hotels in Rossford and Northwood.
The sheriff’s office was
assisted by the Rossford,
Northwood and Perrysburg
Township police departments

Jr., 54, Tasha R. Walker, 35,
Chanice S. Burkes, 23, Betty
Slinker, 37, and Shirley Speelman, 31, all of Toledo.
Ms. Speelman and Ms.

Homestead Exemption Program to change for 2014
Effective for tax year 2014
(payable 2015), legislation
has changed the eligibility
rules for the Homestead
Exemption. The addition of a
“means test” may make it
harder for taxpayers to be
considered eligible.
Currently there are no
income qualifications, but
starting in 2014, homeowners
whose total household
income exceeds $30,000 will
not qualify.
“I’m encouraging all seniors 65 and older and permanently disabled individuals to
take advantage of the Homestead Tax exemption before
the new limitations go into
effect,” said Anita Lopez,
Lucas County auditor.
Due to the changes, the
Department of Taxation is
grandfathering 2013 applicants under the old legisla-
tion. To be on the 2013 grandfathered list, taxpayers must
either be on the Homestead
Exemption as of this year or
file a “late 2013 application”
by June 2, 2014.
The Auditor’s Office will
continue to collect 2013
applications until June 2,
2014, which is the Department of Taxations late filing
deadline.
To qualify under the 2013
Homestead Program an applicant must:
•Be 65 years of age or
older by 12/31/13 OR totally/permanently disabled at
any age.
•Own and occupy the
home or mobile home (or
have ownership interest, i.e.
life estate, land contract, etc.)
as of January 1 of the application year., or
•Be the surviving spouse
of a qualified homeowner
who was at least 59 years old
on the date of their spouse’s
death.
If disabled, the applicant is
required to have their physician complete the certificate
of disability form or submit a
certificate from a state or federal agency.
The Homestead Program
was designed to provide seniors and the disabled savings
on their property taxes. Anyone who thinks they may
qualify for the program can
contact the Education and
Outreach Department at 419213-4406.
Additional information
about the Homestead Program, including a downloadable application form, is
available online at www.co.

Volunteers needed to help
preserve local history
Volunteers of all ages are
needed to help at the Holland-Springfield-Spencer
Historical Society.
“We need help,” said Al
Grant, membership chairman
of the society.
The society is collecting
local history memorabilia,
and volunteers are needed to
catalog the items.
Also clerical help with
files and assistance preparing
displays is needed.
The society moved into a
historical building last year at
7154 Front Street, which was
purchased by village council
for the organization.
“This building, it belongs
to the village–it’s your history,” Mr. Grant said.
Displays at the Historical
Society include photos of
local officials, notable homes
in the area, railroad workers,
old trains and the Holland
depot.
Four rooms in the lower
level of the building feature a
variety of memorabilia from
area schools, fire departments, veterans organizations
and more.
The public is invited to
contribute additional historical items, photos and documents.
Mr. Grant said family
trees are being constructed,
and volunteers also could
provide help with that work.
For more information on
volunteering, send an e-mail
to contact@hsshs.org.
An annual membership is
$12, or $10 for seniors. Dues
can be mailed to: HSS Historical Society, P.O. Box 745,
Holland, Ohio 43528 Attn:

George Mancy Memorial Golf Tournament
raises funds for Anne Grady Services
The 16th annual George
Mancy Memorial Golf Outing benefiting the Anne
Grady Center was held recently at Highland Meadows
Golf Course in Sylvania.
Although no one made the
hole-in-one to win the 2013
Dodge Charger donated by
the Yark Automotive Group,
competition definitely existed
among the players.
Taking first place at this
year’s outing was Don Harbaugh’s team represented by
Dale Langenderfer.
Second place went to
Dick Kott whose sons Mike
and Greg were part of the
team, and third place went to
Jeff Manore and his team.
Earning closest to pin
honors were Steve Scarvelis,
pin five; Dick Kott, pin 11;
Brian Hall, pin 15 and Jeff
Peer, pin 17.
Kacey Finnegan won
longest woman’s drive and
Toby Hafner took longest
men’s drive.
The event featured door
prizes and a 50/50 raffle.
Shirley Bailey won the 50/50
and donated her winnings
back to Anne Grady.

Off to a Great Start!
The opening days of the
2013-14 school year went exceptionally well. We greeted
the Class of 2026, (our
kindergarten students) and
the “New Year” was off and
running.
The Class of 2017, our
freshman class, settled in to
the high school with ease
thanks to assistance from our
SHS student mentors.
Our sixth grade students,
new to the middle school,
will be the Class of 2020, and
they, too, started their middle
school experience with confidence and excitement. New
locker combinations were
learned quickly, location of
classrooms found easily,
friendships renewed and new
friendships have begun.
On August 22, the Ohio
Department of Education released the annual “School
District Performance Results” for the 2012-13 school
year. It appears we are no
longer being given an overall
rating but have started with
letter grades by specific areas
as well as other information.

over the summer months for
the construction of the railroad underpass on McCord,
many of our bus and student
parking spaces are no longer
available for us in the student
lot across from the high
school.
As a result a new parking
area was built on the west end
of the stadium. This provided
us an opportunity to change
the routing of our buses to
take some pressure off the incoming traffic on Madison
and Hall streets. Therefore,
the entrance to the new parking area is now one way from
Hall Street to the bus loop
and for buses only each
morning from 7 to 7:40 a.m.
Passenger cars will follow
the same traffic flow as in the
past to drop off middle and
high school students but will
do so without the added traffic of our buses. Thank you
for your cooperation in this
change.
We are off to a great start
in our school new year.
Thank you to every member
of our community for your
support of our students, staff
and families.

PET OF THE WEEK
COW
Cow is a 1-year-old male
black and white shorthair.
His distinctive black and
white patches inspired his
family to give him his unusual name. Cow’s family
surrendered him to the
Toledo Area Humane Society because they were moving to a home that didn’t
allow pets. Cow is a wonderful companion. Affectionate and loving, this gentle kitty enjoys cuddling and
spending time with people. He likes to position himself on
the high cat perch next to the door, where he is sure to be
seen by all of the shelter visitors. Cow has a playful side
and enjoys feathery toys and playtime with the other kitties.
Outgoing and confident, Cow is searching for a family who
won’t mind if he is the center of attention. Cow has been
neutered, examined by a TAHS staff veterinarian, is current
on his vaccinations and is microchipped.
For more information, visit the Toledo Area Humane Society,
1920 Indian Wood Circle, Maumee or call 419-891-0705.

Welcome to the 2013-14
School Year!
As Springfield Middle
School completes its first full
week of school, teachers are
moving into full gear at administering the new Common
Core standards. These standards are designed to connect
students to real world experiences and successfully prep
them for college and the
global work force. Through
professional development
staff aligned their curriculum
to these standards, constructed pacing guides, created common assessments,
and evaluated the validity and
reliability of their assessments.
With the team format intact at all grade levels for the
school year, staff can progress
monitor students more efficiently and offer intervention
quicker than in past years.

Technology and Thoughts
Isn’t technology great?
With the start of this new
school year, families familiar with ProgressBook can
expect to see some enhancements to the program. A letter has been sent home with
each student explaining the
changes and encouraging
everyone to follow a few
short steps to gain access.
Those with questions/concerns can call our office.
I would like to again
thank everyone for making
the start of the 2013-14
school year so smooth. We
are especially proud of our
students–all have refocused
after a couple month off and
are buckling-down to give
our rigorous curriculum the
appropriate attention that it
demands.
We are excited and
proud, too, of our student
athletes.
The teams have achieved
some “first-time” victories
this year over some tough
opponents ... whether we
win or lose Springfield is
known for our sportsmanship!
The Labor Day holiday
always signifies the end of
summer–we are glad to be

The School Year
Has Begun!
Students awoke and prepared for that first day of
school. The busses arrived,
the doors opened and another
year at Holloway Elementary
School has begun. Approximately 470 students entered
the doorways this past week
to begin the 2013-14 school
year. Staff and parent volunteers from HAP (Holloway
Association of Parents)
greeted and assisted the students to their classrooms for
the first day of school.
An opening day welcoming assembly was held and
the principal, Bill Renwand,
spoke with the students on
the 3 R’s of a good Holloway
education.
We all know those famous 3R’s of education…the
Reading, the Writing, and the
Arithmetic…but it was not
these three R’s that Mr. Renwand spoke to the students
and staff about. The three R’s
he presented were Report,
Responsibility and Respect.
As we began the new
school year, there were
many new faces...certainly,
our kindergarten and those
students attending Holland
for the first time.
Also, we welcomed new
fifth grade teachers Melissa
Pinkava and Amy Renwand;
first grade teacher Samantha
Ulrich; Title I tutors Kristin
Katafiasz and Jennifer King,
and Amanda Smith, our new
ED/intervention teacher.
The familiar face of
Sherri Seiler also is a wel-
come sight at Holland Elementary School.
Mrs. Seiler is a talented
administrator who is covering for Mr. Devol until his
return.
We want to encourage
the entire community to join
the Holland Parent Council
(HPC) as they host a fundraising car wash on Saturday, September 7, from 10
a.m. to 4 p.m., in front of
Springfield High School.
HPC officers and members are working very hard
this year to plan many family-centered activities–you
won’t want to miss the fun!
like what we show our American Flag and country when
we stand each morning and
say the Pledge of Allegiance.
Respect is when we use our
please and thank yous. Respect is throwing our trash in
the trash can. Respect is
sharing kind words with one
another. Respect is helping to
keep Holloway a clean and
friendly place to learn.
The 3 R’s challenge presented to all students were to
Report, Responsibility and
Respect.
These three R’s will continue to be important in
everyday life both at Holloway Elementary and at
home. As the students follow
the Holloway motto of:
“Learning Today to Prepare
for Tomorrow.”

Each and everyone needs
to Report to school each day,
on time, and ready to do their
best. Without the students
here at school the educational opportunities get
lost…lost like socks in the
laundry…so students need to
Report to school each day, on
time, and do their best.
Responsibility–be responsible for your schoolwork
and your actions is the second “R.” We all have a job
to do, and the students are to
be the best they can be.
Show that responsibility
by completing work and
turning it in on time. Being
responsible for behavior both
in the classroom, lunchroom
and playground, the gym
class and art room, the hallways and bathrooms. Being
responsible for one’s actions
and accepting the consequences.
Respect–respect one another both the individual and
their property, the teachers
and the school building. Respect is something all of us
have to give and something
all of us can earn. Respect is
