Little Moments, Lasting Impact
As August arrives, our community is in full swing preparing for the new school year and soaking up the final days of summer. In this issue, we spotlight local organizations and individuals who uplift, empower and celebrate the children and animals in our lives that bring so much vibrancy to our community.
Crayons to Classrooms is one organization working hard to ensure teachers have what they need, so that every student walks into the classroom with the tools to succeed.
Dayton Children’s new outpatient center is meeting kids and families where they are, offering expanded access to pediatric therapies and services in a colorful, calming space designed just for them.
Our community’s care for animals is on full display as well. Dayton Humane & Co. gives new meaning to retail therapy, offering curated fashion and home goods that fund lifesaving efforts for pets in need.
We also step behind the camera with Centerville Lifestyle photographers and local business owners, Austin and Shilo Kirkpatrick, whose work reminds us of the beauty in the ordinary. Whether it’s a toddler's belly laugh or a quiet family cuddle, their photos help us see and celebrate the magic in real life.
We’re proud to share these meaningful community stories. They’re proof that joy and generosity are everywhere and that even the smallest actions can create lasting impact.

preparing students to learn
Crayons to Classrooms offers free school supplies to help teachers set students up for success.
The start of the school year often begins with a new backpack, freshly sharpened pencils, bright smiles and curious minds ready for a new year of learning. Teachers, eager to meet their new students, create their welcome packets, arrange the tables and chairs and decorate their classrooms. These preparations for the school year begin before any students or teachers enter the classroom, while parents start tackling the dreaded list of school supplies.
According to the National Education Association, teachers spend between $500 and $750 each year to provide classroom essentials for their students. Many area families are in a tight financial situation, and teachers have stepped in to fill the gap, providing everything from crayons and folders to glue sticks and notebooks, with some even offering snack foods for their students.
Crayons to Classrooms is a local nonprofit organization that helps teachers with the costs of setting up their classrooms. The program, which began in 2008, serves Clark, Darke, Greene, Miami, Montgomery, Preble and Warren counties. Their goal is to collect donations and collaborate with business partners to provide teachers with supplies at no cost.

Barbara Shon is a Centerville resident who retired after more than 30 years of teaching, and she knows all too well the challenges teachers face. Barbara wanted to stay active in retirement and has been volunteering with Crayons to Classrooms for nearly 13 years.
“I enjoy interacting with new and experienced teachers and sharing materials and ideas with them,” Barbara enthuses.
Malena Ball, marketing coordinator for Crayons to Classrooms, notes that the program’s main vision is for all students to have the tools they need to succeed. “We understand that many local families need to spend their time and money focusing on putting food on the table for their children–purchasing school supplies isn’t the number one priority,” Malena says.
Almost 4,000 teachers from 143 schools and childcare centers “shop” for free supplies for their students through Crayons to Classroom’s retail store. Typically, each teacher who participates in the program works at a school where about 60 percent of students take part in the income-based National School Lunch Program, which offers reduced-cost or free breakfast and lunch to students.
“It allows them to focus on teaching, knowing that every student is equipped and ready to learn,” Malena explains. “We distributed over $2.8 million in supplies in the last school year alone and have surpassed $40 million in distributions since our opening in 2009.”
Both Barbara and Malena have witnessed the impact that Crayons to Classrooms has on students and teachers.
“There is so much value in setting young children and high schoolers up for success by giving them the tools they need to succeed. They are the future of our community and deserve a level playing field in the classroom,” Malena emphasizes.
Barbara agrees, noting that the program uses every donation to its fullest.
“I have seen and heard the appreciation from the teachers and how it has had a positive impact on learning for their students,” she tells us. “Everyone strives to help the teachers and students have what they need to succeed.”
The program relies on eight full-time employees, two part-time employees and 875 volunteers. Roughly 100 of the volunteers are regular, year-round participants. This year also brings leadership changes to Crayons to Classrooms as Amy Kopp became the group’s executive director in June, following the retirement of founder Steve Rubenstein.
Amy joined Crayons to Classrooms in 2020 as director of development. She proved instrumental in expanding funding and programs.
“I’m honored to step into this role,” she shared in May when her new position was announced. “Now more than ever, students and teachers need strong support systems, and I’m eager to grow our reach and deepen our impact across the Miami Valley.”
The Crayons to Classrooms summer supply drive, known as Stuff the Bus, will run through August 31. Donations are accepted at their resource center, located at 1750 Woodman Drive, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Fridays. Collection boxes are also available at various locations throughout the Miami Valley. A $1 donation can provide more than $5 worth of school supplies.
Malena shares that she is grateful to be part of an organization that supports teachers and empowers students.
“When students come to class prepared, it boosts their confidence and engagement, and when teachers don’t have to worry about buying materials out of their own pockets, they can focus fully on what matters most–teaching.”
Donation inquiries can be directed to Michelle Wood at m.wood@crayonstoclassrooms.org. Volunteer inquiries can be directed to Jaida Anderson at j.anderson@crayonstoclassrooms.org. For more information, visit CrayonsToClassrooms.org
BUILT FOR KIDS
Dayton Children’s brings expanded therapy, lab services and pediatric care to Centerville.
ARTICLE BY NINA WEIERMAN
PHOTOGRAPHY BY DAYTON CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL
Thoughtfully designed with friendly murals, colorful icons and playful themes, each Dayton Children’s building creates a welcoming, less intimidating environment for kids and families. Stepping into their newest outpatient care center in Centerville, opened on June 2 on Far Hills Avenue, you will see these elements on full display.
“We’re not Disneyland, but everything has just a little whimsy to it,” says Vice President and Chief Experience Officer at Dayton Children’s, Cindy Burger. The new facility is over 26,000 square feet and offers expanded access to pediatric services, including speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, lab services, EKG and digital imaging. In the fall it will house Pediatric Associates of Dayton on the second level.
Recognizing the need for these services in Centerville, Dayton Children’s made the move to be closer to where their patients live. With digital imaging now available at the new location, kids can come directly from the pediatrician’s office or Kids Express and be seen right away for an X-ray or EKG. “We want it to be convenient and close to home,” Cindy explains. “If you have to take your children somewhere, you want it to be five to 10 minutes away because it just makes things so much easier, and that’s what families want.”
Kids and families are always the priority at Dayton Children’s, and it is woven into everything that they do. The new Sensory Integration Room, named for its use by kids with sensory processing issues or autism, is designed specifically for children. Offering many unique features such as a climbing wall, sensory swing, fiber optic waterfall, play loft with slide and a projector for visual stimulation and calming, this room is perfect for patients seeking movement therapy.
There is also a deluxe steamroller ramp which creates body awareness, provides deep pressure stimulation and calms and organizes the central nervous system. “This is the difference when you go somewhere designed specifically for kids,” explains Director of Rehab Services, Terry Wiegel. “This is a tremendous room, and it will be a huge asset for our patients.”
“THIS IS THE DIFFERENCE WHEN YOU GO SOMEWHERE DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR KIDS.” -DIRECTOR OF REHAB SERVICES, TERRY WIEGEL
Speech and language pathology services are also provided at the Centerville outpatient care center serving a variety of conditions, including articulation/phonological and language deficits as well as working with children who use augmentative communication devices. “The therapists were really in heaven when they moved in because there are so many new toys and tools for play therapy,” Terry adds. “It’s a great way to engage the kids through play while working toward their therapeutic goals.”
The Physical Therapy gym is also fully equipped to serve children of all ages who have gross motor developmental delays or are recovering from injuries. The gym offers two private spaces to treat children who would benefit from a quieter, less distracting environment. One of the features of the Physical Therapy gym is a treadmill complete with LiteGait, which supports standing for patients when they are walking on the treadmill. “Our PT gym is one of the nicest gyms in all of our locations,” Terry notes. “We are ecstatic and just so excited to be here in this space.”
Pediatric Associates of Dayton has been serving the Centerville community for over 40 years and will have a brand new space with 16 rooms on the second level this fall. The same trusted pediatricians and nurse practitioners will continue providing care,
now with the added benefit of being closely affiliated with Dayton Children’s. By sharing medical records and systems, the two teams can improve continuity and integration of care. “Referrals to see a specialist are even easier,” Cindy points out. “If your pediatrician says you need to see a neurologist, you want to see a neurologist now, not wait for six weeks.”
Whether a child comes in for therapy, testing or a routine visit with their pediatrician, when they arrive at the new
Dayton Children’s outpatient care center in Centerville, they’re walking into a place that feels safe, cheerful and built just for them.
“In our patient tower, every floor has a color and an icon. The NICU on the fifth floor has the hummingbird, inspired by nature’s tiniest aviator, and the PICU has the eagle in green,” Cindy explains. “The owl is ophthalmology of course.” All of the icons highlighted together in the new Centerville outpatient care center mural are a gentle reminder that no matter where you are in the Dayton Children’s system, kids and families are always guided with care, creativity and intention.

Shilo, Austin and their family.
Dayton-area photographers Austin and Shilo Kirkpatrick met in their art school photo studio 12 years ago, and they’ve been clicking shutters side by side ever since. When they’re not helping Centerville Lifestyle bring community stories to life, they’re running Austin + Shilo Creative, capturing the magic, mess and every moment in between for local families' lives.
As the parents of three young kids, they also know firsthand how much patience and snacks it takes to get out the door and photo ready! While they love photographing in the many beautiful outdoor locations around Dayton, they are proud to offer their clients the option of shooting in their thoughtfully designed space, Arrowood Studio, located east of downtown. No matter what you’re looking for, they'll collaborate on the perfect setting and show up with kid-friendly jokes and playful prompts to engage the whole family.
WHAT DREW YOU TO PHOTOGRAPHY AS A CAREER AND TO PHOTOGRAPHING FAMILIES?
We began our journey in wedding photography and built lasting relationships with our couples over time. As their families grew, we captured newborns, milestones, family moments and senior portraits. It happened organically, and now that we’re parents ourselves, we feel right at home in the beautiful chaos of photographing families.
WHAT MAKES A GREAT FAMILY PHOTO?
From our perspective, the best family photos are the in-between moments: a child’s arms wrapped tight around grandma’s neck, a big brother resting his head on mama’s belly, or when you can tell Dad knows exactly where the tickle spots are. It’s those unscripted moments, while sometimes a little imperfect, that are always so beautiful and real.
WHAT IS YOUR BEST ADVICE FOR A SUCCESSFUL PHOTO SESSION?
Personalize it. Visit your favorite ice cream shop. Splash in the creek. Snuggle on your couch and read a book. Bake cookies together. Whatever feels like you, that’s what we want to document. Just invite us into your world and we’ll take it from there.

Located in Centerville, Dayton Humane & Co. is a shopping destination with a mission. Every item sold, from designer fashion to elegant furniture, directly supports the Humane Society of Greater Dayton’s lifesaving efforts. All of the boutique’s proceeds go toward vital programs, including animal rescues, cruelty and neglect investigations, spay/neuter services and shelter care for homeless and abandoned pets.
The vision for Dayton Humane & Co. grew out of a desire to create a meaningful connection between the community’s love for animals and its passion for high-quality shopping experiences. According to the President and CEO of the Humane Society of Greater Dayton, Brian Weltge, this boutique is the result of years of thoughtful planning and community input.
"We’ve seen time and again how generous and compassionate our community is when it comes to animals in need," Brian says. "But we also recognized an opportunity to bring something new to the area—an upscale shopping experience that allows people to support our mission just by purchasing items they love or donating gently used treasures."
Resale boutiques with a charitable purpose have found success across the country, offering shoppers a chance to find unique, high-end items while giving back to causes they care about. Dayton Humane & Co. is proud to be bringing that model to the Miami Valley.
Choosing Centerville’s Cross Pointe Shopping Center for the boutique’s location was a natural decision. With its convenient location, vibrant foot traffic and reputation as a supportive, tightknit community, Centerville checked all the boxes.
"Centerville has always been a community that cares," Brian shares. "From supporting local businesses to stepping up for animals in need, the people here consistently show their generosity.”
Cross Pointe Shopping Center’s easy access to surrounding neighborhoods and its mix of shops and eateries make it an ideal spot for residents to explore Dayton Humane & Co., whether they’re stopping in to browse, donate or learn more about the Humane Society’s work.
• Designer fashion: High-quality clothing, handbags, shoes and accessories
• Furniture: Gently used or new pieces to elevate any living space
• Home décor: Elegant, unique items to add character to your home
• Artwork and collectibles: One-of-a-kind treasures and statement pieces
Community members can also support the boutique by donating gently used or new items. All donations should be in good condition, and the boutique especially appreciates designer clothing, stylish accessories, quality furniture and home décor. For larger furniture donations, pickup arrangements may be available by contacting the store directly.
"Everything in our store has been donated by people who want to make a difference," Brian notes. "It's a full-circle moment—your donations help stock the boutique, your purchases support our programs and together we’re saving animals' lives. It’s a win-win-win.”
Beyond shopping and donating, the Humane Society of Greater Dayton continues to offer a variety of programs and events to engage the community and advance its mission:
• Adoption Events: Connect with adorable pets looking for their forever homes at locations across the region.
• Spay/Neuter Clinics: Affordable, accessible services to combat pet overpopulation.
• Cruelty and Neglect Investigations: Ensuring animals in the community are safe, protected and cared for.
• Fundraising Events: Look for upcoming sales, raffles and community events hosted by Dayton Humane & Co., with all proceeds supporting local animals.
"We rely entirely on community support; we receive no government funding," Brian explains. "Every purchase at Dayton Humane & Co., every item donated, every event attended all help us rescue more animals, provide better care and continue building a more humane community."
Whether you're looking to refresh your wardrobe, furnish your home or discover that perfect conversation piece, Dayton Humane & Co. offers something for everyone, with the satisfaction of knowing your purchase makes a difference. ShopHumane.org
