🇺🇸 As part of the America 250 celebration year, the newly installed Freedom Shrine was dedicated at Fassett Junior High School today.🇺🇸 The Exchange Club of Greater Maumee Bay, in partnership with Fassett Jr. High, Genoa Bank, and muralist Dean Davis, held an assembly for the 7th & 8th grade students to dedicate and honor the brand new installed Freedom Shrine. The Freedom Shrine is a collection of 29 original historic American documents, photographically reproduced and attractively displayed, now found in thousands of locations across the United States and Puerto Rico. The event included a presentation of the colors, “The Star-Spangled Banner”, remarks from Principal Mike Hyttenhove, Bob Bochi - Exchange Club of Greater Maumee Bay, Dean Davis and Tracy Edwards from the National Exchange Club, along with a formal ribbon cutting of the Shrine. Student Council member and 8th grader, Zoe Buckman cut the ribbon. Ms. Edwards explained that there are thousands of Freedom Shrines installed around the country, but this is the very first installation that has a full length American Flag mural behind it. Thank you Dean for being a part of this special project! Our partnership with Genoa Bank provided the funding for the Freedom Shrine display. Thank you Genoa Bank! The Freedom Shrine® is an exclusive program of The National Exchange Club, established in communities throughout the nation. Its purpose is to remind all Americans that the freedoms enjoyed today are, in essence, a gift from the past, the product of the idealism, determination, and sacrifice of countless courageous men and women who came before us. The Shrine serves as a call to every generation to guard and protect that precious gift.

Today, staff across our district came together for Professional Development Day. The morning kicked off with an inspiring (and entertaining!) keynote from Tyler Tarver, an educational motivational speaker who kept everyone laughing while sharing practical teaching hacks and useful classroom tools. Staff then moved into a variety of breakout sessions from fun, to informational. We are so appreciative of our teachers and staff who show up every day and their commitment to our students! #OCSsuccess
