Kiwanis Students of the Month
Each year the West Geauga Kiwanis Club honors students of the month selected by Principal Jay Bishop and the high school staff. Traditionally, students would go to a club meeting to receive the honor. However, this year, Mr. Bishop delivered the awards to each student at the school.
The Students of the Month are Raenna Cenni, Alex Lavin, Kenneth Kirk, David Allen, Emily Cobb and Gabby Ramirez. Each student received a certificate and a $50 gift card reward.
Students are encouraged to use this honor on resumes and to consider applying for the Kiwanis Club Scholarship to further their education after high school.
Students Read “A Boy Called Bat”
Third-graders at Lindsey Elementary School read an exemplar text titled “A Boy Called Bat.” The book’s main character has autism. In the book, students learned the power of empathy and connected with the little boy very much.
The students were determined to read the entire series. The students in teachers Tara Mulica’s and Debbie Lachman’s English/language arts classes wrote persuasive essays asking to have the books added to the Lindsey collection. Because of the power of the their voices, Principal Meagan Bellan surprised them by buying the second and third books of the series to have available for interested readers. The books were purchased using a West Geauga Educational Foundation grant, Books Matter.
