Good morning, Toledo.

A mass is held each year in Toledo to honor firefighters and first responders who aided during the 1980 church fire—an event that began 45 years ago when lightning struck the steeple at Historic St. Pat’s Catholic Church.

Toledo’s public art project, the 100 Mural Project was started by local artist Dean Davis to bring neighborhood stories to life—his team is now preparing a gratitude-themed mural at a parking garage on Madison and Erie.

Monclova Primary School welcomed Dunkin last month—this trained Labrador retriever plays educational games and assists in the classroom, replacing retired therapy dog Laney as part of the school’s evolving facility dog program with four trained handlers now working with him.

Ohio EPA awarded nine students a $5,000 scholarship to study environmental science and engineering at Ohio colleges, with recipients chosen based on academic performance, research, internships, and leadership—supporting innovative projects in the state.
