Dear Badin Alumni and Friends,PRINCIPAL’S LETTERThe 2011-12 school year was a greatsuccess. Congratulations to the Class of 2012.Our newest alumni did a fabulous job. Weare extremely proud of their achievementsand, most importantly, the positive leadershipthey provided. You can read about theiraccomplishments throughout this edition ofthe Shades of Green.The school year was an exciting one.Earlier this year, we announced our new iPadprogram for all four grades. Our teachershave been working hard to learn new andcreative ways to implement the iPad intotheir curriculum in order to enhance studentlearning.Now, we are excited to announce that theacademic wing of Badin High School will befully air conditioned by the start of classesin August. This is a $450,000 project thatwill certainly make for a more comfortablelearning environment for our students. AirForce One, a company out of Columbus, hasthe contract for a ductless system similar toone recently installed at Mount Notre DameHigh School in Cincinnati. The system is veryefficient and will allow us to minimize theuse of our boilers, which were installed whenBHS first opened in 1966. This is a majorinvestment that our school board felt wasimportant.We have also entered into a new sportsmedicine partnership with Fort Hamilton/Kettering Health Network. We listened toseveral proposals, and it made great senseto partner with an organization in our ownbackyard. The package will include an on-siteathletic trainer at Badin 40 hours per week,and save us nearly $6,000 a year. Our studentathleteswill be in very good hands with FortHamilton.Please keep the family of the late Mr.Tom Rains ’68 in your prayers. Tom was anoutstanding government and social studiesteacher here for nearly 30 years prior tohis passing in April. He was a major positiveinfluence on so many members of the Badinfamily during his lifetime. He will be missed.Thank you to our trio of retirees – Mrs.Shirley Ensor (cafeteria manager), Mrs. DeniseHolderbach (health clinic), and Mr. Steve Smith(Spanish). Badin High School keeps going eachyear – now 46 graduating classes – but it’s theindividuals who make a difference day-in andday-out with their hard work and dedication.While we graduated a small but mightyclass of 101 seniors, we are excited about thefact that we have an incoming class of morethan 150 freshmen! This continues a trendthat has seen the incoming freshman class bethe largest in the school for three consecutiveyears. There are a number of reasons for this,but one very substantial one is your ongoingsupport of Badin and the way you spread apositive message about our school. We trulyappreciate that.It is a pleasure to be the principal of BadinHigh School. Thanks for everything you do forus. Keep in touch and let us know how youare doing. If we can be of any assistance toyou, please don’t hesitate to call or e-mail. Weare proud of the Badin family and all that yourepresent.God bless you and your family –Brian D. PendergestBrian D.
