	Levy Co-Chair Gives Thanks November 10, 2011 1,000 "thank you's" would not be enough to convey my appreciation to the community for passage of Issue 18. Thank you for hearing the cries of our children and supporters. Thank you for appreciating the value of education as a stronghold in our...
	extortion? October 22, 2011 Everyone says "They are doing it for the kids." Is it really about the kids? I feel like all the school board is doing is find what threat will make everyone vote for the levy. I see the teachers trying there part to make stuff work. Except i have...
	Keep our schools strong October 20, 2011 The Nordonia school levy is essential to keep Advanced Placement classes, allow money to be spent more efficiently and have smaller class sizes. I am currently a student at The University of Toledo and a proud graduate of Nordonia High School class of...
	I Still Bleed Green and White September 30, 2011 As a graduate of the Class of 2011, and someone who has always taken pride in the community I grew up in, I'm ashamed to hear what is becoming of Nordonia Schools. In my political theory class today at Loyola University Chicago I read a passage...
	Communication with Mayoral Candidates August 27, 2011 After reading who the 4 candidates running for Mayor of Macedonia were in the News Leader (August 17, 2011), I decided to contact each one of them via email to congratulate them and to ask them a question about where they stood on a certain issue. The...
	Nordonia Hills Garden Club July 20, 2011 Kudos to the Nordonia Hills Garden Club on a job well done at the Macedonia park ! All the hard work and planning has sure paid off, our park has never looked better. We have a beautiful view from our hair studio as well as, all that travel down Rt 82....
	Stop spreading false fears June 7, 2011 Please stop spreading false fears regarding our School District in the letters to the editor. To the lady who wrote about 3 conditions she wanted met before voting for the levy let me advise you to please contact our District before writing to the...
	We Appreciate Our Teachers! May 15, 2011 It is sad that our teachers have to feel that they are not appreciated by this district and the public in general. A wonderful teacher at Rushwood Elementary wrote about the attacks on her profession. I want to assure her and all the other teachers...
	School Funding May 11, 2011 The lack of understanding on how school funding works in the state of Ohio is obvious in the recent rash of letters to the Editor. Clearly, stating that the district needs to find other ways of funding themselves shows you do not understand how the...
	Sad Day For Our Community May 7, 2011 I really thought our community would rally and support our "Excellent with Distinction" schools. I wish there were another way also, but after Kasich declared war on our schools in order to serve his wealthy charter school friends, we were not left with...
	May 3rd Levy March 9, 2011 Having lived in the Nordonia Hills community for 8 yrs, leaving for 1 yr, then returning because I truly enjoy living in this community. I would hate for the community to go downhill because of levies not being passed. I understand that in this economy...
	FEELING SORRY FOR LINE CUTTERS January 24, 2011 My daughter attends Nordonia Middle School. I have been driving her to and from since the levy failed and I have noticed a trend. The school system asked us to please enter the parking lot from Vesta Ave. and exit Leonard Ave. This would be the best...
	Hooray for the Tea Party! October 19, 2010 Despite the bumper sticker musings of Michael O'Brien (Oct.13th letter), the Tea Party movement represents hope for real change. It represents a movement of concern citizens to the direction that our predominantly Democratic politicians are taking the...
	School Levy October 18, 2010 It's pretty cut and dry. Gurantee my money will go to my son's education rather than building a new stadium. What's more important? Call it anything you want, operating levy, bond levy, whatever. There is no excuse I should have to worry about my son...
	School Levy is higher than necessary October 14, 2010 The county fiscal office has determined that a 6.5 mill levy would raise approximately $6.5 million dollars annually. The school district officials say that the funds are necessary to fill a projected $3.8 million gap in the 2012 budget. Why should it...
	Levy opponents fail to see big picture October 11, 2010 I voted for the last school levy, and I will vote for the current one. I I will vote for it because I cannot quite grasp how defeating this school levy will lead to a better future for the Nordonia Hills Community. I have read numerous letters urging...
	No Such Thing As 'Free' Federal Money August 24, 2010 Recently, Ohio was chosen as one of the winners for the White House's "Race To The Top" contest that will award $4.35 billion to state schools to improve education. Nordonia Hills will receive over $173,000 of this federal grant. Of course improving...
	Macedonia Deserves Better May 19, 2010 The residents of Macedonia are intelligent and caring. I am constantly reminded of how fortunate my family is to be surrounded by such neighbors. However, I don't think our Council views us the same way. I think they believe we are incapable of...
	Trash Everywhere! March 19, 2010 Well, now that the snow has finally melted in our area, I wonder if every body is feeling the same way I do when I drive down the streets and see countless empty 24 oz Bud Light beer cans everywhere. A few things come to mind when I see the trash...
