March Raider Report

More than a school, A COMMUNITY!

The gold standard. American FFA Degree Recipients.

As the highest degree achievable in the National FFA Organization, the American FFA Degree shows a FFA member’s dedication to his or her chapter and state FFA association. It demonstrates the effort FFA members apply toward their supervised agricultural experience and the outstanding leadership abilities and community involvement they exhibited through their FFA career.


American FFA Degree recipients show promise for the future and have gone above and beyond to achieve excellence. Congratulations to Bradey Ackley, Tanner Anspach, Matthew Black, Emily Roth, and Tanner Sines who will receive their degree in October at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Dear BL Parent:


As your new school-based health center provider, let me introduce myself. My name is Paula Strebig and I am a certified nurse practitioner. I grew up near Casstown, OH and graduated from Miami East High School. Knowing from a young age that I wanted to be a nurse, I pursued that career path immediately after high school. My background includes hospital-based nursing where I worked in pediatrics, labor & delivery, postpartum, and the newborn nursery. My husband and I moved our family to Logan County in 1994. I have worked in local hospitals and taught in several LPN and RN programs including Hi-Point Career Center, Upper Valley Career Center and Clark State Community College. While teaching, I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from OSU and completed the nurse practitioner program at Wright State University. I became a licensed NP in 2017 and began working for CHWP. At CHWP, my practice consists of newborns to elderly, caring for the healthy to the dying, and those with simple poison ivy to multiple chronic diseases. At the BL-SBHC I can diagnose and treat:


• Upper respiratory infections

• Sinus infections

• Coughs

• Skin infections / cellulitis

• Severe headaches / migraines

• Pink eye / styes

• Urinary tract infections, and more


Basically, if your child needs to be seen right away, I can test, diagnose, and treat them in the SBHC and prescribe medication, allowing you to not only save money, but TIME! Additionally, I can conduct annual physical exams, well child exams, sports physicals, order blood work, x-rays and refer to specialists.


My goal is to support your health care needs and work with your current primary care provider. BL SBHC is open Monday – Friday from 7:30 am – 12:00 noon in the BL Elementary Building. My services at BL- SBHC are available to students, their household members, and BL staff. If you are already a patient of mine AND are a BL parent, you can also schedule your appointments with me at the school!


I look forward to helping your students and family members with health care needs and being a part of the Benjamin Logan Community. If you have any questions, please call me at 937-599-1411.
