Newbury Bricks Preserved
West Geauga Schools preserved 1,000 bricks from the 1928 portion of the former Newbury High School. They will be distributed to graduates and residents who reserved them over the last several months.
Each brick bears a commemorative message depicting the former school, the Newbury Black Knight logo and a photo of the stone-carved Newbury Township High School inscription from the top of the original 1928 structure. The actual inscription covered four separate stones. Each was carefully removed and stored prior to the demolition process. At this time, plans for the removed stone inscription are undecided.
Ask the Expert
First-graders learned to read nonfiction literature and put their new knowledge to work by researching an animal of their choice and becoming an “expert.” They read books on the topic, created a habitat, made display boards and gave oral presentations. Family and friends gathered at Westwood Elementary for “Ask the Expert” so students could show off their final projects.
