Honda-Ohio State Math AwardJason Montavon, Northwest Local; Alex Napper, Clay; Garrett Nease, Minford; and Katherine Wells, Portsmouth.
This is the fifth anniversary of the Southwest region Math Medal Awards, presented by the Honda-Ohio State Partnership Program, a university-industry partnership that supports programs in education and research to benefit the transportation industry. This year 96 seniors, the highest number yet, from 16 counties in southwest Ohio received the award.
Eighty-one of the honorees attended the Southwest region ceremony on November 2 at the GE Aviation Learning Center in Cincinnati. Recognized as their school’s top math student in the Class of 2014, each student received a pewter math medal, plaque and $100 gift card from Honda of America Manufacturing and Ohio State University’s College of Engineering.
In addition, the math medal award comes with a $3,000 scholarship opportunity at Ohio State’s College of Engineering for the 2014-2015 academic year. Over the past four years, 20 Southwest region Math Medal recipients have gone on to receive the $3,000 scholarship at Ohio State’s College of Engineering.
“This prestigious honor recognizes students who excel in math and science, and serves as an indicator that an engineering career may suit them well,” said David B. Williams, dean, Ohio State College of Engineering. “These are all outstanding students, who we hope will become Buckeye engineers.”
The Honda-Ohio State Partnership Program is a unique collaboration between Ohio State and Honda of America Manufacturing that supports initiatives in education, research and public service to positively impact students, faculty, public and private sector practitioners, and the transportation industry as a whole.
Honda operates two auto plants and engine and transmission plants in Ohio, along with a major vehicle research and development center and engineering, logistics and purchasing operations in the state. With 16,000 associates—including more than 1,000 engineers—Honda of America Manufacturing is one of Ohio’s largest private employers.
Ohio State’s College of Engineering places 14th nationally among public university engineering programs ranked by U.S. News and World Report, and its more than 7,200 undergraduate students choose from 14 different engineering majors.

Students from Notre Dame Elementary put one foot in front of the other Friday morning to help raise money for their school playground. As a result of their hard work, the school exceeded its goal and raised more than $10,000 in just a week.
“Our new playground structure was put in in 1998. It just needs refurbished and updated, that kind of thing. So I had a teacher come to me last week and one of her nephews does a fundraiser walkathon and they raised about $50,000. I said, well I don’t know if we can do that but we aimed high and set our goals at $10,000. We sent notes home last (week) Thursday or Friday, and as of yesterday (Thursday) we exceeded our goal,” said Elementary Principal

Notre Dame High School and Notre Dame Athletic Foundation are pleased to announce the opening of Notre Dame Community Center (formerly CAY building). The Notre Dame High School and the Notre Dame Athletic Foundation have formed a partnership that made it possible to create a community center for the deanery wide Notre Dame family after the closing of the CAY. The Notre dame Athletic Foundation has made significant updates to the building including the replacement of heating and air conditioning, roofing, lighting, audio visual components and kitchen repairs to name a few.
The Notre Dame Community Center will be used for weekly bingo sessions, deanery meetings, ND fund raisers, NDHS and NDES school functions and will be available for deanery parish events and rental for community events. So stop in and see the changes and we will see you at the next event!
Notre Dame High School Key Club collected over 10,000 can in this years can food drive. The canned food is distributed to over 18 local food panties around the county.
Glockner, it remains one of the oldest continuously owned and operated Chevrolet franchises today. “When potential customers wanted to know what to do with their horse and buggy if they bought a new car, my family would take them in as trade,” he noted. “Thus, we became the first horse traders in automotive history.”
Glockner’s father, “Ebby,” and Glockner worked hard to expand the business, and today, Glockner Enterprises consists of four new car franchised stores, eight independent used car stores, a commercial leasing agency, an independent insurance agency and an oil distribution company. Ebby was the recipient of the TIME Magazine Quality Dealer Award in 1978. Glockner took the reins when his father retired in 1982. He is now grooming his three sons to take over the company.
“As the sixth generation of Glockners active in the business, Tim, Joe and Mike are poised for the future to grow the enterprise,” Glockner said. “They all have a great passion for providing good jobs and for serving the public. Their willingness to carry on a family tradition in automotive excellence makes this father very proud.”
Glockner’s keen business sense was recognized by Ohio Governor John Kasich who appointed him as a private citizen representative in 2010 to work with the Scioto County and state auditor’s office to create an action plan to reestablish economic growth and stability in the area, which they have succeeded in achieving.
He has devoted his time and talent to the Boys Scouts of America, where he has worked with young people and served as finance committee chairman. “The Boy Scouts have produced and continue to produce great leaders for our communities and our country,” he explained. “The values instilled in these young men are essential in developing future leaders and stewards of this country.”
His charitable efforts extend beyond the nation’s borders, as he established and funded a loan program to help capitalize start-up businesses in Port-de-Paix, Haiti, after visiting the area on a mission trip with his wife and daughter
Ann Kempf.
Students were asked to collect donations of at least $25 to participate in the walkathon at Spartan Stadium in Portsmouth on Friday. The students arrived at the stadium in smaller groups. Kindergarten and 6th grade study buddies walked first for five laps; then grades 1-3 did six laps, and finally grades 4-5 walked eight laps around the stadium. Preschool students also participated by walking laps around the inside of the school on Thursday. As they finished a lap, teachers waited at the finish line to stamp students hands to keep track of how many laps they’ve walked.
With the money they raised, the school will purchase a new swing set and mulch, and in the spring the school will plant a memorial vegetable garden in the playground in memory of Boston Schwamberger who attended Notre Dame School and passed away this summer.
After only a week of fundraising, the walkathon was so successful for Notre Dame Elementary that Kempf said they will probably do it more often.
“We did this in a week, so if we had a month or six weeks to get those pledges, we could double or, I don’t know. I can’t wait to tell the kids. It’s been a very good project,” Kempf said.
But next year, she said, they’ll probably do it in the spring when the weather is warmer.

As followers of Christ, we, much more than others, believe that earthly treasures are temporary. Just as Christians are expected to be good stewards of God’s gifts here on earth, we should also have a plan for our estate when we leave this world.As a supporter of Notre Dame Schools, we invite you to remember the schools when doing your estate planning. You may have life insurance policies, stocks, jewelry, real estate or collectibles that could benefit our schools. Reportedly when one of the richest men in America died, John Rockefeller, someone asked his accountant, “How much money did he leave?” The reply was “He left all of it.” We cannot take it with us but we can continue to benefit the causes we supported that were important to us, even after we have left this world.
Notre Dame Elementary School recently completed an Advent project with the 5th and 6th grade classes. Each child was asked to earn the money themselves to purchase a small toy or book to donate to the SOMC Pediatric unit for children that need medical care during the Christmas season. The students were encouraged to do this project in order to help the children who are undergoing medical treatment and make their stay a little more pleasant. The fifth grade teachers are Willa Tanner and Christy Layne and Anne Emnett and Sherry Blackburn are the 6th grade teachers.

Sherry Blackburn, a sixth grade teacher at Notre Dame Elementary School in Portsmouth, was among educators from across America and three other nations who explored ways to investigate current environmental issues with their students during a recent summer workshop at the Keystone Science School in Colorado thanks to a grant from the American Electric Power Foundation. The Foundation, funded by American Electric Power (NYSE: AEP) and its utility operating units including AEP Ohio sponsored Blackburn, who was among 10 educators chosen from a select field of applicants from across AEP’s 11-state service territory. The Key Issues Institute is a national teacher-training program that provides creative and innovative middle-level educators with the process, skills and confidence to investigate environmental issues with their students in a non-biased manner. Educators spend six days in the classroom and field engaging in activities that explore the environmental aspects of a simulated issue. To augment classroom implementation, participants receive curriculum, instructional materials, computer software programs, as well as lab kits and on-line support from educators and instructors.Teachers use the Key Issues Framework that meets National Education Standards in a variety of disciplines to develop and implement new classroom plans that focus on local environmental issues and improve decision-making abilities of students. The program supports an interdisciplinary approach. “I am much more energized and enthusiastic about science again! I am looking forward to using hands-on activities and allowing the students to work their way through a problem or activity. Some of my fellow teachers are also willing to use elements of the Key Issues curriculum in their classrooms. I would highly recommend this experience to any teacher regardless of the subject taught,” Blackburn said.Terri Flora, director – Corporate Communications, AEP Ohio said sponsoring participants in the professional development program underscores the AEP Foundation’s commitment to education. “This workshop will make it possible for teachers to investigate contentious environmental issues with their students without bias and to facilitate student inquiry,” she said. “The integration of science, math, social studies and language arts throughout the investigation mirrors the real-world mix of disciplines brought to bear in addressing environmental issues.”Since 1976, Keystone Science School has taught scientific principles and leadership skills to young people, teachers and community members through engaging, hands-on field experiences. Formerly part of The Keystone Center, the school was founded on the belief that leaders should approach decision-making with a healthy respect for scientific inquiry, collaboration and civic engagement. For more information, visit www.keystonescienceschool.org. The American Electric Power Foundation is funded by American Electric Power (NYSE: AEP) and its utility operating units. The Foundation provides a permanent, ongoing resource for charitable initiatives involving higher dollar values and multi-year commitments in the communities served by AEP and initiatives outside of AEP’s 11-state service area.The Foundation’s areas of focus include special emphasis on improving lives through education from early childhood through higher education, protecting the environment, providing basic human services in the areas of hunger, housing, health and safety, and enriching life through art, music and cultural heritage. The Foundation is based in Columbus, Ohio.
