IN Brentwood-Baldwin-Whitehall Spring 2020 | Page 68

A MESSAGE FROM
Dr. Randal A. Lutz
Superintendent of Schools, Baldwin-Whitehall School District
Looking on the Bright Side
Dear Baldwin-Whitehall School District Community,
Can you feel that change?
Spring is in the air!
I hope you found a way to enjoy the winter months, but now it’s
time to stop hibernating and start making the most of our longer
days. Whether you enjoy sports, jogging, landscaping, home
repair, or just reading and relaxing outdoors, now is the time to
soak up the sun and recharge your inner batteries for the new
year.
In this issue, you’ll see several examples of the positive changes
that have been happening in and around our District. These
include the launch of helpful new services like our Mindfulness
Center, as well as the continued excellence of our distinguished
alumni like Jen Flynn Oldenburg, who was recently named the
new head coach of women’s volleyball at Ohio State University.
You’ll also meet our new School Board President, and you’ll
learn why completing your 2020 Census form is one of the most
important things you can do to help our District.
When spring reaches full bloom, we’ll be looking at the last
few weeks of our school year, which are filled with upcoming
concerts, musicals, games, and events. If you haven’t stopped by
an event lately, come out and join us in cheering for your Fighting
Highlanders. And as always, if you have any ideas or suggestions
that could help our students succeed, I’d love to hear from you.
Thank you for supporting the children of our community, and
best wishes for a happy and healthy spring!
Sincerely,
Dr. Randal A. Lutz
Superintendent of Schools
Baldwin-Whitehall School District
A LETTER FROM
Dr. Anthony DiCesaro
School Board President
Winds of Change
Dear Baldwin-Whitehall Community Members,
After five years of serving as a member of your Baldwin-
Whitehall School Board, it is now my great honor to serve as the
board’s new president. I am excited to work with all of our board
members, our Superintendent, our faculty and staff, and all of the
parents, families, and residents who call our District home.
I believe that one of the most important lessons we can teach
students of any age is to always be on the lookout for new
opportunities. That’s one reason why I originally helped kickstart
the idea for our District’s Mobile Fabrication Lab, as a way to
introduce students to new scientific skills and career paths that
they may not have thought about before.
Looking for new opportunities is also a lesson that I try to
follow in my own life. As a chiropractor, I need to be aware of new
developments in medicine and new procedures that could help

my patients. As a father, I strive to help my son do the best he can
while the world keeps changing around him. And as your school
board president, I work to maximize our District’s budget on behalf
of our students’ futures.
But seizing new opportunities requires learning new
information, and that’s why our school board needs you, too.
If you have any questions, suggestions, or insights that you’d like
to share with the Baldwin-Whitehall School Board, please join us at
one of our public meetings and let us know what’s on your mind.
By working together and sharing our collective expertise, I know
that we can provide a valuable educational experience that helps
the students in our community prepare themselves for rewarding
careers.
Moving forward,
Dr. Anthony DiCesaro
President, Baldwin-Whitehall School Board
