saluting our community

This fall has been very busy for the SITES Program. The students have organized various projects at the Leadership Camp (Firelands Reservation), hosted a luncheon and ballroom dance at Seniorfest, and recognized American heroes at the Salute to Veterans. At this point, program members are leading the 2nd Quarter Projects at dozens of sites in the Greater Cleveland area and lending a hand at the Birch and Butternut APPLES program, Intermediate Schools Storybook Project, and DARE Program. December will be busy as we adopt North Olmsted families for the community Christmas and gently guide clients at the Coats for Kids in Cleveland. Students working with Officer Carbone are planning a Day of Giving to be held right before Winter Break. SITES is definitely "doing service."

A HUGE THANK YOU goes out to all who made possible the Salute to Veterans. Within North Olmsted High School we express our gratitude to:  the foods classes of Ms. Ramsey and Ms. Bede, the Orchestra, the Kitchen Staff, the Custodial Staff, the Library Staff, The Special Edition Ensemble, SITES Students, SITES parents, Young Marine Dan Bowen,  Navy Recruit Cody McClaherty, the main office secretaries, administration, Social Studies faculty and the Physical Education faculty. Outside the walls of NOHS we are grateful to the VFW Post, Dr. James Banks of the Crile Archives, the North Olmsted Senior Center, the Niklee Company, and Learn and Serve Ohio.

paper recycling continues

The SITES students are entering the second year of paper collection at NOHS. This initiative has saved over 20 tons of landfill space just from the two collection containers at NOHS! Thank you to the students, staff, families, and residents who have been bringing paper to the yellow dumpsters! Every page recycled helps protect our natural resources. The classroom and office blue bins were purchased with a grant from the Cuyahoga County Solid Waste Management District.
