We look at the details of refreshing our group's Ten Commitments prize wheel for information booths at community events. Our focus is on engaging kids with fun activities while also educating them about humanism. We redesigned the wheel, creating new wedges with shortened, inspirational messages to convey the essence of each commitment effectively.

We discuss our ongoing efforts to engage with our community through various projects, such as volunteering at the Seagate Food Bank for Project PJ and hosting free pizza and movie nights at the West Branch Toledo Library to provide options for children in economically struggling areas. Additionally, we reflect on the recent news of President Joe Biden's withdrawal from the 2024 election, highlighting the values of service, participation, and responsibility as he prioritized the country's well-being over his political ambitions.

Delving into local history, we explore the consolidation of public schools in northwest Ohio in the 1950s and 60s, focusing on the merger of Seneca-Huron and Attica schools. We uncover the unique case of Catholic nuns teaching in a public school setting post-merger, leading to questions about their roles, funding sources, and potential religious influence in the classroom. This historical exploration sheds light on the evolution of public education and the complexities of church-state separation in rural communities.
