Hope this little guy was reunited with his human. Kind young woman managed to scoop him up after I followed him from Jackson Highway South late yesterday afternoon, back across the bridge & into Toledo, running down the middle of the NB lane on SR 505, heedless of big trucks & traffic, to his home on Fourth.
Must have slipped his collar.
To his human: you owe a deep debt of thanks to the Powers That Be for this little fellow's life, and the efforts of your neighbors for his return.

MAP Enrichment Programs after-school clubs report:
We had our week of spring term makers clubs “Nature Works” and “STEAM Works”! We planned some fun activities and intriguing projects for the term together, including community service components in each club.
“Nature Works” club members made seed bombs from clay, soil and wildflower seeds to add beauty to areas in our neighborhoods that need a little cheering! So many creative and heartwarming ideas in this club - I am eager to support their goals!

In “STEAM Works” we built a remote controlled mechanical robot and also learned and experimented with coding principles as we made tracks and mazes for “Ozobot” - we even dressed it up and made it dance! Looking forward to what these kids choose to learn and teach me and each other this term!

Toledo School District posted this notice of their second Flood Preparedness Plan drill:
Image courtesy of Toledo School District
If disaster strikes one of our schools, we will move all students in all schools to The Mission on Spencer Road. This reduces traffic at schools (which may be under water, unsafe for occupancy or a crime scene).
This coming Tuesday (April 17, 2018), we will be training students and staff on our Parent Reunification plans at The Mission.This is the second step in our flood preparedness plan.
We'll be evacuating students to high ground and then to The Mission. We will off-load students to specific rooms at the site and go through our training for parent reunification. When finished, all students will be returned to their school for dismissal at the regular time.
If you see our buses out or you arrive at school during the drill and no one is there, stand by. We'll be back by noon. This is part of our work to prepare and keep all of our students and staff safe in the event of an emergency.

Citizens for Great Toledo Schools shared Toledo School District's post: Rep. Richard DeBolt will be addressing the Toledo School Board at their April meeting on the 19th at 7 p.m. at THS.
Rep. DeBolt was instrumental in obtaining a grant to build a new high school in Toledo. He will be on hand to talk about the Distressed Schools Grant and the intent of the legislation. The community is invited to attend.
The School District said in a separate post: The TSD quarterly newsletter will be delivered to all postal patrons in the district in the next few days.
Inside, you'll find a postage-paid insert that asks if you think that the board should place a $7 million bond on the ballot to take advantage of the $18 million grant to build a new Toledo High School. Should we do this? Yes or no?
There is room on the card for your name and number if you have questions or criticisms that you'd like for me to address. There is also room for comments on the card if you'd like to remain anonymous.
This is one of the ways we're listening to our community about this opportunity.
