Lady Warriors Raise Money for Layup4Lauren

Mariemont High School’s Lady Warrior basketball team presented a check for $2,350 to The Cure Starts now during the January 27 home boys basketball game, exceeding their goal of $2,200, a goal based on Lauren’s jersey number – 22.

Members of the Lady Warriors attended Lauren Hill’s “One More Game” at Xavier University in November, and collectively decided to have a fundraiser for The Cure Starts Now, Lauren’s foundation.

The Melbourne Sparks were in the USA playing basketball for three weeks and Mariemont was one of the many stops on their schedule. The game against the Melbourne Sparks was turned into a fundraiser for The Cure Starts Now in an effort to help Lauren Hill reach her goals of a million dollars raised.

“When we started planning the Australian game, everything just kind of came together,” said Shana Rothert, a parent of one of the team members. “Everyone was so inspired by Lauren and her determination, and we wanted to do something to help. All of the girls were very moved by Lauren’s courage and strength in the game at Xavier.”

Caring & Sharing at Mariemont Elementary

For over 25 years, through the PTO’s Caring and Sharing Program, Mariemont Elementary families have come together to brighten the holidays of families in need in our community.

This year, the Mariemont Elementary community helped 17 families by collecting cash donations and 224 gifts. The teachers alone raised $280!

This is one of the most compassionate traditions at Mariemont Elementary; one that makes us proud to call Mariemont City Schools our home.

Students Recognized for Their Communication, Leadership

The motto of the school district is to create Scholars of today, leaders of tomorrow. As part of that misison, Mariemont High School is focusing on leadership qualities to help students understand what it takes to become a leader. Each month, one leadership quality is highlighted and teachers can nominate students who have shown this quality during the month.

For the month of November, the students focused on good leaders as good communicators. Teachers were able to nominate students that they felt have good communication skills. These students were put into a drawing and three names were drawn as winners. The Mariemont High School Campus Life team rewarded the winners with a Chipotle lunch that is brought to them during their lunch time at school. The three students that won are:
Erin Ramey – grade 9 (nominated by Mrs. Lee Lowery)
Mac Lewis – grade 12 (nominated by Mrs. Amy Leatherwood)
Bailey Geers – grade 12 (nominated by Mrs. Judy Dunlap)

Other students who were nominated by teachers in November are Ashley Murauskas, Connor Hurlock, Maddie Arends, Hadley George, Olivia Griffith and Matthew Burgess.

Congratulations to the winners and all of the students that were nominated. You are role models both in our school and in our community!

Erin Ramey, Mac Lewis and Bailey Geers display excellent communications and leadership skills at Mariemont High School.

Architects Help Mariemont Students Plan Community Designs

Mariemont Junior High School 7th grade Social Studies students collaborated with licensed architects on their planned community designs. Students learned what architects do and applied this knowledge to their community plans. We would like to thank Rick Koehler from ArchitectsPlus, Heather Curless owner of Greener Stock, and Bob Doran, who was most recently the university architect for the University of New Mexico.

This was a great hands-on learning opportunity, made possible by the generosity of our community members.
