Update of April 26, 2022:
Visit from Zone 6 Lt. Gov. at the Meeting of April 26, 2022:
• Brenda Moore, Lt. Gov. of Zone 6 of the Ohio District of Optimist International attended the meeting to get updates on recent club activity. She last visited our club meeting on February 15 (see post below for that meeting). Thanks for staying in touch, Brenda.
• The Guest Speaker at the April 26 meeting was Dave Jackson, Superintendent of Northridge Schools.
This is Supt. Jackson’s 21st year in the Northridge School District. Starting as a teacher, and then elementary principal to high school principal, he has held the position of superintendent since 2010. He sees the school district as representing the identity of the Northridge community with the goal of being a bastion of opportunity. He spoke with pride about the role that the school played in helping to unite the community in the aftermath of the devastating 2019 tornado, and how the administration, staff, and students have adapted to the challenges of remote learning during the COVID period. He also spoke with optimism about new initiatives for student involvement, such as a student advisory group, student participation in meetings, and a Core Values* program. (*The core value attributes represent characteristics that guide daily interactions, goals, and mission. The Core Values of Northridge Schools focus on: Honest, Consistent, and Appropriate Communication; Education as Our Calling; Always Improving; District is Family; Student Success; Understand and Meet Legitimate Needs; and Personal Responsibility and Behavioral Integrity. Students who best demonstrate these qualities are nominated each month by teachers or administrators in their buildings and are honored at school board meetings). The opening of classes in the beautiful new school building which sits on a hill overlooking N. Dixie Drive was in September of 2019, delayed by the effects of the tornado. Then before the school year was finished the change to remote learning delayed full usage of the facility further. This is the first full school year for utilizing all the space. The PK-12 campus has separate wings for elementary, middle school, and high school. Instead of long hallways with rooms branching off, there grade-level “neighborhoods” in the respective wings, which he described as a different and effective way to utilize space. He will arrange for a club tour. Club members discussed with the superintendent some ideas about the club scholarships, the Polar Bear fund, and some other ways that the club can collaborate with the school for the benefit of the students. The club thanks Supt. Jackson for his visit. Keep up the good work! |

Scholarship Updates:
The scholarship committee is in the final process of evaluating the scholarship applications that were provided by the school and will be making the selections this week. They will coordinate the Sharron Braun scholarships with Cargill and send the Northridge Scholarship selections to the school for submitting to The Dayton Foundation. For the Northridge Optimist Scholarships a total of $6900 will be awarded (three scholarships of $2300 each) as determined by the scholarship committee. There are also applicants for the Sharron Braun/Northridge Optimist Club scholarships, which is a separate entity, funded by Cargill. There will be two scholarships at $1200 each, per year, for two years. Scholarship certificates will be presented to the recipients at the Northridge Award ceremony at the school on May 25 at 6 pm. (For more information on the Northridge Optimist Club Scholarships and the Sharron Braun/Northridge Optimist Club scholarships see below for the “Update of April 15” post below).
Update of April 15, 2022:
Northridge Optimist Scholarship Fund:
The Northridge Optimist Club has awarded over 300 scholarships to Northridge students over the past thirty 30 plus years, totaling well over $200,000. The Optimist Club of Dayton-Northridge Scholarship Fund, a component fund of The Dayton Foundation has grown over the years to the point where it will sustain the annual scholarships on a continual basis. The Dayton Foundation administers the dispersal of the funds to the scholarship recipients, who are selected by the club's scholarship committee, in conjunction with school counselors. The students are selected based on a combination of academic ability and financial need.
In addition to the foundation scholarships, additional Northridge Optimist scholarships are awarded by Cargill Inc., via the Sharron Braun/Cargill Northridge Optimist Scholarships. This fund is named after the late Sharron Braun, a past Northridge Optimist President, and Cargill employee who started this Cargill fund with the Optimist Club. Last year these funds combined to award $9400 in scholarships. The club is now in the process of evaluating the applications that have been provided by the school to submit to The Dayton Foundation for the 2022 awards.
