Dear Finneytown Students, Staff, and Families, My heart is heavy. We have all experienced mental, financial, and physical challenges over the past few months with the pandemic. Most recently we’ve been witness to explicit examples of racial tensions that have gripped this country for centuries.

All humanity should be outraged with these acts of terror.

We want to thank all those inside and outside our Finneytown community who donated to WildcatSERVE on Thursday, April 23 for the WLWT Day of Giving. Very generous people dropped off hundreds of items that valued over about $500 including baby items, toilet paper, hygiene products, paper towels, dish soap, snacks, and other essential food items like canned goods and meal kits. Furthermore, community members donated $1,355 in gift cards and $325 in cash that will be used to assist
