Students have so many great ideas for how to improve their schools, communities, and everyday lives. Help them share their great ideas, keep learning and thinking over the summer months, and compete for prizes in OAN’s Summer Pitch
Challenge!
Students come up with a 30-90 second pitch for a business idea, record (we know they enjoy recording and sharing videos of themselves!) and enter it via an online portal by July 31st. They don’t need to start a business or create a prototype – they just need to come up with an idea for a new business, tech venture or even social enterprise like Dylan from Akron.
Rising kindergartners through 2020 high school graduates are eligible to enter. Awesome prizes will be awarded for elementary, middle and high school categories:
1st Place - $500 Amazon gift card and one-on-one consultation with an entrepreneur. First Place high-school students will receive a scholarship to Rev1 Ventures’ Customer Learning Lab, a three-day virtual boot camp for entrepreneurs.
2nd- $250 Amazon gift card
3rd - $100 Amazon gift card
Free K-12 resources to support entrepreneurship education are available from Young Entrepreneur Institute and VentureLab, including a downloadable workbook for parents and caregivers of elementary age students.
More information is available on the OAN website. Contact Liz Nusken, liz@oanohio.org for more information.

The Children’s Hunger Alliance is sponsoring a free meal program with weekly pickup available at 12 different Dayton Metro Library Branches. Starting June 23rd, parents will be able to pick up 10 meals (2 meals per day) per child, at 
the designated times. No registration is needed.
“Learning is impossible when children are hungry,” said Mandie Burns, Dayton Metro Library's Youth Services Coordinator. “The Library is pleased to assist the Children’s Hunger Alliance with this project, so that our families have one less thing to worry about this summer.”
The Library is seeking volunteers to help pre-pack and serve meals at these Libraries. To volunteer, complete a volunteer application online at DaytonMetroLibrary.org.

Given the new directives we received from Governor DeWine last week, we are putting together a plan to implement the safeguards and measures to move forward with the possibility of our reopening school for the coming year.
In order to do so, we would like to gather as much input from our students and families as we can to help create our plan with all of us being a part of it. We will be conducting a survey to gather this information from everyone.
Below is a link for parents and a link for students to participate in the survey. The link can be accessed either from a computer or a smartphone. If you do not have access to either of these, please contact central office, (937) 866 -3381, and we will make arrangements for you to take part in this survey.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at any time.
Thank you and as we head into the Dog Days of Summer, please continue to stay well.
