LIMA (WLIO) - Wednesday at Lima Senior High School, the city held its second Lima Mowing Expo.
They are called "HOT" tickets. Students can get them for being "Here On Time" at school as a reward. The school district introduced the "Every Day On Time" program last year and has seen an improvement in on-time attendance. The tickets are a reward for the students' efforts. The "HOT" tickets will be entered into a drawing for "HOT" chips that are being supplied by State Farm Insurance Agent Corey Frazer.
Thanksgiving is almost here, but some students at Lima City Schools kicked off the holiday a little early.
A Veterans Honor Wall is being planned for construction in front of Lima Senior. Veterans who served in active duty and graduated from the lima city school district who apply will have their names engraved on both sides of the wall. So far, 130 names have been collected, and the finished project will have room for around sixteen hundred names.
Those attending the event at Heritage Elementary got to hear about one woman's service to her country and how she now educates people on what the military can offer a person. Students also sang patriotic songs and read essays in appreciation for the veterans.
Lima City Schools Math Curriculum Team Leader Cathy Collins has been selected for the 2022 Ohio Council of Teachers of Mathematics Linda M. Gojak Middle School Award.

The Lima City School's wellness team met to review the policy that not only includes school nutrition but physical education, physical activity, along with employee and student health. The policy also includes services to promote social, mental, and emotional health.
An active shooter drill helped different agencies in Lima and Allen County stay prepared in case of an actual threat. Lima City Schools partnered with Lima Police and Fire as well as the Allen County Emergency Management Agency to identify ways that they can improve overall response in case of an active shooter threat.
The drill is mandated by the state to simulate an active shooter scenario. They will be responding as a live incident but want residents and parents to understand that this is just a drill. School safety officials say that they work all year to make sure students and staff are prepared for the worst. If you see or hear first responders at the school, it is only a drill. School officials have sent out letters to parents via school messenger and have been talking with students about what will be happening.
