Sycamore Community Schools students just won more 2019 Regional Scholastic Art awards than any other district in the Greater Cincinnati area.

Sycamore High School and Junior High students received 165 awards during this year's regional competition. That's 10% of the recognition given out by the prestigious competition.

Our partnership with Cincinnati Children’s Hospital to provide mental health services to our students is well underway. We are pleased to announce that as of February, each of our four elementary buildings is being served by a licensed therapist on campus:

• Jamie Wiener at Symmes Elementary

• Lauren Greene at Blue Ash Elementary

• Karen Celesti at Montgomery Elementary and Maple Dale Elementary

We are also pleased to welcome Nicole Snyder who will begin serving students at E.H. Greene Intermediate beginning in March. The district and CCHMC continue to interview potential candidates to fulfill our promise to have licensed therapists in each of our seven schools. In the meantime, if there is an immediate need for care in one of our two remaining buildings, our school-based therapy team will work to support that student.

Last year, the district worked with MindPeace, a local organization that serves to align mental health partners, as well as establish the infrastructure and processes for children's mental health solutions between schools and local agencies. Through an extensive evaluation process, Sycamore Community Schools chose Cincinnati Children's Hospital as their partner. CCHMC provides independently licensed therapists in addition to a clinical psychologist to serve students with significant mental health challenges.
