Molnar's Community Update

As we close another incredible school year, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated educators, hardworking staff, supportive families, and, most of all, our amazing students. Your resilience, growth, and commitment to excellence have made this year truly remarkable. Thank you for the passion and effort you bring to our district every day. As we head into summer, I encourage everyone to take time to rest, recharge, and enjoy special moments with loved ones. Wishing you all a safe, joyful, and rejuvenating summer break—you’ve earned it!

At the Track & Field Banquet, we announced a $160,000 donation from an anonymous Amherst Track & Field supporter! This generous gift will upgrade the surface of our new track — enhancing performance, appearance, and showcasing Comet Pride in our signature green and gold.

Thanks to this amazing act of generosity, Amherst will have one of the best public high school tracks in the State of Ohio. We are beyond grateful for the continued support of our incredible community!

As the school year comes to a close, we extend our heartfelt gratitude and congratulations to our esteemed faculty and staff members retiring from Amherst Exempted Village Schools. Your dedication, passion, and years of service have left a lasting impact on our students, colleagues, and community. Thank you for your commitment to excellence in everything you did. We wish you all the best in this next chapter of life—may it be filled with joy, relaxation, and new adventures!

Today, Powers Elementary School celebrated a special milestone with our annual 3rd Grade Clap-Out! Students and staff lined the hallways to cheer on our amazing 3rd graders as they took their final walk through the building. We’re so proud of all they’ve accomplished and wish them the best as they head to Walter G. Nord School next year. Way to go, Comets!

We are so proud to celebrate our amazing preschool graduates as they take their first big step on their educational journey! This year has been filled with learning, laughter, friendships, and so much growth. Our Little Comets have worked hard, explored new ideas, and made wonderful memories along the way.

A heartfelt thank you to our dedicated preschool staff and supportive families for helping create such a nurturing and inspiring environment. We can’t wait to see all the wonderful things these bright young learners will accomplish as they move on to kindergarten and beyond.

Way to go, Little Comets — your future is shining bright!

Throughout this month, we proudly celebrated the accomplishments of all our Comets during their individual grade-level academic awards ceremonies. Your hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence have truly shined. Congratulations to each of you on a fantastic year—you’ve earned every bit of this recognition, and we can’t wait to see what you achieve next!

Be sure to follow our District Facebook page—our Communications Specialist, Rachel Mellen, will be sharing photo albums from recent award ceremonies. Don’t miss the chance to celebrate the incredible moments and achievements of our students!
