New CPS school information


Beginning with the 2013-14 school year, 7th and 8th grade students in CPS will all be in high schools rather than neighborhood schools.

If you are the parent of a current sixth or seventh grade student, you will want to find out your child’s high school options and get your kids signed up for your high school of choice by the end of this school year.

Find out more information at one of the following meetings:

Cincinnati Public Schools and Parents for Public Schools of Greater Cincinnati invite you a Community Conversation to share information and answer questions about our efforts to transition district high schools to serve grades 7-12.
• Learn the reasons for the transition and how it will help your child

Buy 25: with food trucks & bikes!

THIS Tuesday, Sep 25, 4:00-8:00 p.m. @ Kroger

Thanks to everyone for coming out to the last ‘Buy 25′ Tuesday event, where we brought it $4,500 in new revenue for the store! Help us break the $10,000 monthly goal once again. Here’s what’s new this time:

1. There will be three food trucks joining us in the Kroger parking lot! EAT, C’est Cheese!, and Mobile Coldstone Creamery are all planning to be there. So come grab some food and chat with us before you head in to do your gro
cery shopping.

2. Queen City Bike is organizing a ride to the Walnut Hills store! More details to come, but we expect to have bike racks conveniently located.


Event Description Recap:
Walnut Hills Buy 25 is a community partnership that envisions the Walnut Hills Kroger as a focal point of the community. We want to help Kroger contribute to the redevelopment of the Walnut Hills business district. Every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month we will host a community shopping night to build a community of local shoppers. If 200 new shoppers spend $25 at our events then the store will be profitable and it will both stay in the neighborhood and improve the shopping experience for everyone.

YOU are making a difference!


Thanks for coming out to Buy 25 Tuesdays. You’re making a difference in Walnut Hills. And Cincinnati is talking about it. Check out this Enquirer article, if you haven’t seen it already.

Healthwave 2012: recap!


More than 800 people visited Healthwave 2012 in the Walnut Hills Kroger parking lot on June 16.

Lincoln Crawford Nursing and Rehabilitation Center (at Lincoln and Victory) brought together over 40 organizations to provide health education, wellness information, and a variety of screenings to encourage healthy living and preventative health care. The outreach event had something for every age group, including games, food, and entertainment.

This was the 15th annual Healthwave. The concept originated with Lincoln Crawford’s awareness of health needs in the neighborhood. Kroger, Vitas Innovative Healthcare, National City Bank, and other Cincinnati businesses are among the co-sponsors with Lincoln Crawford.
