Former Panther Hoopster Daniel McKeehan Named Academic All-America of the Year

Thomas More College senior Daniel McKeehan has been selected as the College Division ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America Men's Basketball Player of the Year by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).

The College Division is made up of 933 schools at the NCAA Division II, III and NAIA levels.

A double major in Economics and Business Finance, McKeehan has a perfect 4.00 grade point average. McKeehan, who is the first Saint in school history to win the award in any sport, has led Thomas More to a 19-6 record and a share of the Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) regular season title.

A starter in 23 of 25 games for the Saints, he leads the team in scoring with a 15.7 average. A power forward, he also has a team-leading .627 field goal percentage while averaging 4.8 rebounds per game. A solid all-around player, he is also the team leader with 55 assists and 55 steals.

McKeehan a second team All-PAC selection last season as Junior after transferring from Milligan College, scored a career-high 33 points this season against PAC rival Thiel College on January 16. His performance against Thiel earned him a spot on the D3hoops.com.

As a junior, McKeehan averaged 12.1 points and 4.6 rebounds per game while leading the Saints to their first-ever PAC championship and NCAA Division III Tournament appearance. A member of the Economic Club and the Thomas More Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, he was also selected to the Presidents' Athletic Conference Academic Honor Roll for the 2008-09 year.

***Important Information Regarding Weather Related Delayed Starts***

Effective immediately, it should be noted that in the event of a delayed start due to inclement weather, all high school students should report to homeroom no later than 9:00 AM regardless of the day of the week.

Driving Safety!

As spring approaches, the district would like to review driving procedures at Little Miami High School and Little Miami Junior High School to ensure the safety of our students. Please review this information so that we can all work together to make dropping off and picking up students on this campus as safe as possible.

· Drivers should remember to slow down in the school zone to 20 miles per hour and use extra caution during drop off and pick up times.

· Parents/Guardians should only drop off and pick up students in the designated zones.

· Please do not allow students to exit vehicles on Morrow Cozaddale Road. It inhibits traffic flow and is dangerous for students.

· Do not wait to move to the front of the line. As soon as you are safely stopped in the drop-off zone, have your child exit your car.

· Avoid blocking the bus entrance or otherwise impeding the flow of traffic.

· Park in designated visitor parking areas if you need to enter the building with your students.

· Students should walk up to the main entrance of the school on the sidewalk.

We appreciate your cooperation as we strive to keep these school sites as safe as possible for our students, staff and community. Please click HERE for additional information about protecting your teen driver.

New High School Blood Drive Dates

In an effort to save lives and provide much-needed blood to our local hospitals, LMHS is announcing two additional blood drives this school year. They will be held on February 18 and April 22 from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM at LMHS. For additional information, please contact Britt Burlile at (513) 899-3781, ext. 20410.

Morning Shuttle Bus for High School Students

Any high school student desiring a ride from the Little Miami Board Office to Little Miami High School each morning may be dropped off at the Board Office between 6:45 and 6:50 AM. Two buses will be available to shuttle students each morning. Participation is limited to the first 144 students.

New Start Time for LMHS

Beginning Monday, September 28, the start time for Little Miami High School will be pushed back fifteen minutes. It is our sincere hope that this later start time will help to alleviate traffic congestion on the high school and junior high school campuses. Little Miami Junior High School students in grades 6 thru 8 will continue to start their day at 7:25 AM. Dismissal times for both schools will remain the same. The delayed start time will not impact the trimester schedule or instructional time. Rather, we are eliminating our sustained silent reading program. Students attending the Warren County Career Center will remain on their current schedule.

	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday
8th Grade Start Time	7:25 AM	*7:25 AM	7:25 AM	7:25 AM	7:25 AM
9th & 10th Grade Start Time	7:40 AM	*8:15 AM	7:40 AM	7:40 AM	7:40 AM
11th & 12th Grade Start Time	8:15 AM	*8:15 AM	8:15 AM	8:15 AM	8:15 AM

*Exceptions to this Tuesday start time will occur on those dates that have been designated as district-wide delayed starts: October 20, November 10, January 12, February 9, March 23 and May 11. The start time on these select days will be 8:25 AM. We appreciate your patience through this difficult time of transition. As a means of ensuring student safety as well as displaying courtesy to other drivers, please help us by observing the following procedures:

All student drop-offs/pick-ups should occur behind the high school building.

Do not enter the high school campus near the tennis courts during drop-off/pick-up time for any reason. Entry to the campus during these times should occur through the roundabout only.

Do not cut across or park in student or staff parking areas while waiting for student dismissal. Parking or driving through these areas only adds to traffic congestion and puts students, staff, and parents at risk.

While waiting for student dismissal, please help utilize all available space by using all three lanes in the rear of the high school building. Also, please close any gaps in those lanes by pulling forward as far as possible.

Little Miami High School is dedicated to the education of all enrolled students. Through its curriculum, programs, and staff, students will be provided with the opportunity to acquire;
