Thank you WHITE CASTLE!

White Castle Cincinnati Corporate Office brought their portable grill to OVV on October 28th, and made sliders for  students, staff and guests.  
They presented OVV with a HUGE check of  $37,154, 
representing the proceeds from their generous Cravers  Care Card appeal that ran for four weeks in all their 42 locations.   OVV is thrilled and grateful to White Castle and everyone in the community who contribu ted during the appeal. 
Featured Volunteers
Thanks a bunch, M&M Mars!

Eight volunteers from M&M Mars eagerly worked on beautifying the OVV grounds and preparing our vegetable beds for the winter; they were a huge help.  The volunteers joined our students for lunch and had a wonderful time, plus they brought us lots of candy, just in time for Halloween.
 
 
Let us know if you, or a group, are interested in volunteering at OVV.

Student Spotlight
Meet Nethra!
Nethra (Left) and 
Nikhil (Twin Brother)


Nethra is 7 1/2 years old and a 1st grader at OVV.  Nethra is a fun-loving student with a very big personality; she is a consummate learner who wants to know everything about the world around her.  Nethra is a twin born premature at 25 weeks; the complications from her prematurity required multiple surgeries and hospitalizations.  

Nethra's family enrolled her at Ohio Valley Voices as a toddler, and she been growing by leaps and bounds every year! Nethra's parents, Anjali and Venkat say, "With the help of the committed and dedicated OVV faculty, it has been a pleasure to watch Nethra grow into a chatterbox - something we didn't know we would be saying when we enrolled her at OVV four years ago! We will be forever grateful to OVV for being an  integral part of this exciting journey."   

Nethra will mainstream into Sycamore City Schools next year. OVV is excited to see all of the places Nethra will go!
