Hocevar Signs with YSU
West Geauga senior Athena Hocevar will be continuing her basketball career next year at Youngstown State University. Her family joined her on Nov. 10 as she signed her letter of intent to play for the Penguins next season.
The West Geauga lady’s basketball is practicing and preparing for the upcoming season, which begins in a few weeks. Congratulations to Athena for this outstanding step in her athletic and academic future.
Elementary School Material Distribution
The staff at Westwood Elementary School prepares materials for students and families that have elected to participate in the online school model this fall. It is an extremely important part of the virtual learning process.
“Primary students (kindergarten and first-graders) have different needs for virtual learning than the older students do. Every two weeks, parents of kindergarten and first-grade students are committed to a supply pickup and drop-off. The students turn in written work and pick up new work for the next two weeks. This is for two reasons. First, part of primary education is learning the actual art of writing, including the skill of holding a pencil. Second, while they are learning tech skills, it is still challenging for them to navigate the computer through Google Classroom. Hats off to our parents of our virtual learners,” commented Teri Javorek, first-grade teacher, Westwood Elementary School.
Students Perform at Veterans Day Ceremony
Students from West Geauga High School added music to the Veterans Day ceremony on Nov. 11 at Chester Township Park. David Allen and Olivia Moores performed “Revelry” and “Taps” on the trumpet, and Illian Levenson and Gregory Bullis added vocal renditions of “God Bless America” and “America the Beautiful.” The students performed before a group of veterans and community members at the annual event.
