NEO Youth Summit
The West Geauga High School Interact Club board members recently attended the annual Northeast Ohio Youth Summit at Lakeland Community College. Students made connections at a volunteer fair, participated in various breakout sessions to learn about service and leadership and presented to a room full of their peers from around Northeast Ohio about different ways to raise funds within a school to support various causes.
Monster Mash Collaboration
Westwood first-graders and West Geauga High School sculpture and graphic design students collaborated on a monstrously fun project. First-graders drew their perfect monster with no rules or guidelines – just creativity. The drawings were given to the high school students who then brought the monsters to life.
When the high schoolers visited Westwood to deliver the creations, each first-grader was presented with their own one-of-a-kind monster. The day concluded with the pairs enjoying storytime together.
Beehive Project
West Geauga in partnership with Youth Bee Works is offering a new entrepreneurial endeavor for students with the setup and maintenance of a beehive on the West Geauga campus. The Veale Youth Entrepreneurship Forum at Case Western Reserve University is funding the project, which provides students with education and awareness of honey bees, the environment and food system. With the extraction, students will learn to market and sell honey from the hive, along with other beeswax and propolis products. Approximately 300 high school students attended an informational session to learn more.
Halloween Hangout
West Geauga High School National Honor Society hosted its annual Halloween Hangout. Over 650 people trick-or-treated through the building, enjoying the incredible door decorations before arriving in the cafeteria for games, face painting and crafts.
Special thank you to the students for their hard work and creativity to organize the fun event for the community, Mr. Rader for his help and support, and to everyone who donated candy to make the trick-or-treating possible. The event collected nearly 300 donation items for “Hurricane Rescue Relay” thanks to the generosity of the community.
