1. At Notre Dame Academy’s
annual Career Week, students
took time off from their stud-
ies to learn about their
choices after they graduate.
Students saw career-related
demonstrations, practiced
network building, and heard
speakers to help them in all
aspects of choosing a career.
Students chose to listen to
a variety of speakers from a
list of professionals that were
selected from the Toledo 20
Under 40 winners, local lead-
ers, alumnae and careers
where the students have com-
municated great interest. New
this year was a Business Din-
ing Etiquette Seminar and a
Networking Boot Camp. “In
working with local busi-
nesses and leaders the com-
mon thread mentioned was
etiquette and networking
skills,” explained Mrs. Anas-
tasia Desmond, NDA career
counselor. “Our focus is to
ensure that our students are
equipped with the essential
tools to be successful and un-
derstand how to conduct
themselves in a professional
setting.”
Mock interviews, body
language awareness, a career
track activity, speaking skills,
resume and cover letter build-
ing were also included in the
experiences.Another new ini-
tiative that NDA has imple-
mented this year is all seniors
are required to take a
LinkedIn seminar where they
discover the importance of
LinkedIn in their future ca-
reer/internship exploration.
Students in seventh and
eighth grades welcomed fash-
ion designer, local celebrity
and winner of Project Run-
away Junior Maya Ramirez,
and Stephanie Elton, director
of social media and market-
ing communications from the
Toledo Museum of Art. Ac-
cording to Ms. Ramirez, find-
ing a balance between school
and designing is sometimes
difficult, but school is always
first. Students asked her how
she became a contestant and
if she still talks to anyone
from the show.
This year’s high school
speakers featured, doctors,
nurses, financial planners, at-
torneys, air traffic controllers,
entrepreneurs, professors,
radio personalities, econo-
mists, architecture, and engi-
neers.

tion, we offer golf clinics to
make it affordable for all
girls to participate and thus

fessionals donating their
time to help grow girls golf.”

Custom Kings contest held
at Harley-Davidson dealerships
The “Custom Kings” con-
test is being held by Harley-
Davidson, with dealerships
submitting their best designs
from throughout the country.
Toledo Harley-Davidson has
made it to the top 64 in the
competition.
The crew had less than
two months to design a black
and copper bike under an
$18,000 budget.
This bike was designed to
signify the freedom to ride
wherever and whenever an
individual wants.
An American flag is wav-
ing in the background
throughout the whole bike,
and a Bald Eagle is ghosted
in on the gas tank.
On each side cover some-
thing very special was added,
the right side features the
New York skyline with the
line “Land of The Free” and
the left side portrays Wash-
ington with the phrase “We
the People.” This motorcycle
isn’t available at every deal-
ership. The four members of
Toledo Harley-Davidson cre-
ated this custom-built motor-
cycle as part of a nationwide
competition among Harley
dealerships.
“We’d actually like every-
one to go to Harley-David-
son's website and vote for our
custom bike." said Christy
Myrice from Toledo Harley-
Davidson. “It’s called ‘Free-
dom XVLIII.’”
The winning bike will be
displayed in the Harley-
Davidson museum in Mil-
waukee for a year.

nealogy and memorial proj-
ects, art quilts, wearables, and
mixed media projects. A brief
history will be presented
about cyanotype and Anna
Atkins, the first female pho-
tographer who employed it.
The program also will

ration, contact printing botan-
icals, objects, lace, preparing

cyanotype when used for
wearables.
The fee is $200, which
must be paid by May 16.
Ms. Steiler recently ven-
tured to Wales & Portugal to
teach and exhibit her work.
Her work also was selected
for a solo show within the
2015 fiber577 show at The
577 Foundation.
She studied set and cos-
tume design at Colorado State
University. Her work is repre-
sented by galleries both in the
United States and Europe and
is currently on view at Angel-
wood Gallery in Grand
Rapids, Ohio, as well as
being featured in numerous
publications.
