📣 News from the Old North Dayton Neighborhood Association

🌟 Support the Challenger Learning Center in Old North Dayton! 🌟

Did you know that the Challenger Learning Center at Kiser School offers incredible, hands-on STEM learning experiences for children from across our region? 🚀
It’s a one-of-a-kind educational resource — and it’s right here in Old North Dayton!

Unfortunately, Dayton Public Schools is considering moving the center out of our neighborhood. This would be a huge loss for our families, students, and community.

At our last meeting, the Old North Dayton Neighborhood Association passed a resolution in support of keeping the Challenger Center in Old North Dayton — either at its current site or at another suitable neighborhood location.

💬 We’ll be presenting this resolution to the Dayton Board of Education:
📅 Tuesday, October 21 at 5:30 p.m.
📍 136 S. Ludlow Street, Dayton

👉 The more residents and business owners who show up to support, the more likely our voices will be heard.
If you’d like to speak at the meeting, please register in advance or arrive early to sign up in person.
