The Tinora Ram Radicals are excited to invite all senior citizens residing in the Tinora District to a special Senior Citizen Breakfast on Tuesday, October 21, 2025, from 8:30 AM to 9:30 AM at the Tinora Performing Arts Center. This event is free of charge and open to all senior members of our school district community.
The idea for the breakfast was inspired by the community outreach efforts of neighboring school districts. According to Traci Flory, advisor for the Ram Radicals, “We saw other school districts in the area reach out to their senior citizens through a similar event. We reached out to Mrs. Wells, and she was excited to have a group interested in hosting such an event for the Northeastern Local School District.” That enthusiasm led the Ram Radicals to take on this project as a way to strengthen ties within the community.
At the heart of the Ram Radicals' mission is service. “Each semester, we aim to organize a service project that benefits our school community, one that touches the local Defiance area, and one that is more global in scope,” said Flory. “The senior breakfast is a need that we saw in our own school district, and we hope that it will provide a meaningful connection point for the senior citizens and the students.”
Guests at the breakfast can look forward to a delicious meal served by student members of the Ram Radicals, along with updates about what's happening in Tinora Schools. It’s a unique chance for older residents to connect with students and experience the vibrant life of the district firsthand.
Flory emphasized the mutual benefits of this event: “The breakfast will give the Ram Radical members a chance to serve and connect with the older residents of our district. The seniors will have the opportunity to learn more about what is happening in the schools. It’s a win-win for both groups.”
Whether you're a longtime supporter of Tinora Schools or new to the district, this is a wonderful opportunity to reconnect, be appreciated, and enjoy a morning of food, fellowship, and student-led hospitality.
