Happy School Nurses Day to our amazing school nurse Brenda Eiting! Today, we celebrate your hard work and dedication to provide exceptional care and support to our students. Thank you for being the first line of defense in keeping our students healthy and safe.

On Thursday, May 4 at 1 PM we will be having a “Mock Car Crash” demonstration in the school parking lots. This presentation is put on in partnership with local law enforcement, local first responders and local health care professionals. Mock car crashes are a popular way of illustrating the dangers of drinking and distracted driving to teens during prom and graduation season. During a mock crash, students watch a scripted scene in which their peers portray a serious accident because the driver was impaired. Police, CareFlight and fire-rescue personnel rush to the scene. This means that on Thursday at approximately 1 PM you will hear emergency sirens and see emergency personnel coming to the high school and this is part of the presentation.

Tomorrow is Ohio School Bus Driver Appreciation Day. We use this day to honor and recognize the hard work and dedication of our school bus drivers. Our bus drivers play a vital role in ensuring the safety & well-being of our children as they transport them to & from school. Our drivers are positive role models for students & are an important part of our community. Thank you to the terrific bus drivers in the Minster School District!

Minster Parents and Community Members- On the morning of Thursday, March 23, all Minster students in grades 7 - 12 will attend an assembly featuring Chris Herren. Chris is a former professional basketball player, a voice on the topic of substance use prevention, and a wellness advocate. Since 2009, Chris has spoken to over one million students, athletes and community members, sparking honest discussions on the topics of substance use disorder and wellness. A person in long-term recovery, Chris continues to share his story nationally with a renewed focus on prevention education and challenging audiences to rethink how we look at the disease of addiction – changing the focus from the last day to the first. Because parental awareness and community involvement significantly reduce youth drug addiction, Chris will also give a separate presentation geared toward parents and adult community members. This presentation will occur on the evening of Wednesday, March 22, beginning at 7:30pm in the Minster Elementary gymnasium. Auglaize County Sheriff Michael Vorhees will open the program with a brief discussion of the drug challenges he sees in our local communities. All community residents are invited to attend. The event is expected to run about 75 minutes. Minster Schools thanks Wilson Health as the primary sponsor and Minster Ministries as a secondary sponsor of this event. For more information on Chris’s message, we encourage you to visit his website, www.herrentalks.com. If you have other questions, please contact high school principal Austin Kaylor at 419-628-2324.

Today from 4-7pm, Minster Teachers Association will be working at McDonalds for McTeacher Night. Come visit your favorite educators and support MTA's efforts to raise money for education scholarships!
