Jennifer Damon is the October Teacher of the Month for the Ohio Lottery. She teaches fourth grade at Mark Twain Elementary School.

“Humble. Compassionate. Giving. Inspiring. These are the qualities that immediately come to mind when you think of Mrs. Jennifer Damon. She consistently works hard to increase her student’s confidence, and models professionalism and respect on a daily basis. She is a tireless advocate for her students and is relentless in her pursuit for professional development.” says Misty Tinney, Mark Twain Elementary School Parent Teacher Association President. She is able to “embrace” the diversity around her and always looks beyond her own needs to her students, coworkers and the families of the school.

For being recognized as a Teacher of the Month, Mrs. Damon will receive an assortment of Partners in Education merchandise from the Ohio Lottery along with a gift card.

The Miamisburg City School District November Student of the Month is Casey Weeks. Casey is a fifth grade student at Mound Elementary School and was nominated by his teacher Jenna Hayes. Mrs. Hayes said "I have nominated Casey Weeks for Student of the Month because he shows school engagement and bonding to school. Casey is a very sweet and polite boy who strives to do well in school. He is always prepared for class and is always facing the teacher, listening and ready to learn. He takes pride in his school work and wants to make sure his assignment is correct and looks perfect. You can also tell that Casey cares about his school because he is always willing to help out in any way possible by doing odd jobs around the school. He will sometimes help during morning announcements in the gym and will also help in the office with any tasks that are needed. If there is a task or job that needs done, Casey will gladly do it with a big grin on his face. Casey also cares about the people at our school, including staff and students. He is always saying 'hi', or 'have a great night/weekend/lunch' and is kind to everyone he comes in contact with. Casey definitely deserves this nomination because of the pride he has for Mound Elementary and Miamisburg City Schools."

Recently, the Miamisburg High School Girls Varsity and Junior High basketball teams took part in a community outreach opportunity. The girls made 25 fleece blankets for local students in need this year as part of the Jenna Parlette Memorial Foundation. The blankets were presented to District Social Worker Sally Royer to deliver to those in need.

Jenna, a runner and graduate of MHS passed away while running in a cross country meet for Wilmington College. Jenna’s mother Lisa Parlette and Cross Country Coach Jenny Schoenberger were present and shared Jenna’s story, one of perseverance and true inner strength. 

The goal of the Jenna Parlette Memorial Foundation is to inspire and encourage students, athletes, and communities through leadership, sportsmanship, and education representing the values of Jenna Parlette. With the help of 40 athletes, (and two coaches) they did just that this past Sunday. What a way to SCORE this holiday season! For more information, please see www.jennastrong.com. Run with your Legs, Win with your Heart!
