A Black Tie Affair
The theme of the West Geauga High School senior prom was “A Black Tie Affair” and the colors were red, black and white. Class officers Sydney Hanford, Gianna Paterniti, Drew Heatwole and Rachel Cannata worked with senior class advisors Christina Sherwood and Chelsea Talty to plan and organize all the details.
West Geauga High School nominated seniors Luke Bear as prom king and Jasmine Whittington as prom queen. The event was held at Landerhaven, where the students had dinner and danced until midnight. After prom was held at PLAY and offered loads of entertainment for the students and some amazing prizes. The seniors had much fun and enjoyed their action packed night.

Lindsey Spring Concert
Under the direction of music instructor Deanna Harrrison, the fourth-grade students at Lindsey Elementary School began the performance playing six songs on their recorders.
The fifth-grade band led by Teresa Consenza played four songs, which included “Premiere March,” “Spook Mountain,” “Huckleberry Hedgehog” and “Bandroom Boogie.”
The fifth-grade chorus sang three songs and ended with “Our Principal’s a Pirate.” Donned with a pirate hat, Principal Ron Dahlhofer appeared throughout the song. The students also performed “Street Beat 99” using five-gallon pails turned upside down as their drums.
A final performance by “Voices of Lindsey” charmed the audience. Voices of Lindsey is a group of students who meet after school to learn songs and simple dance routines.
