5th Graders Receive
2008
Smart Living Award
Cathe Ritz’s 5th grade class at
Louis Agassiz was the recipient of the 2008 Smart Living Award.
Judson at University Circle grants this award to recognize
individuals of all ages who are dedicated to the dynamic
atmosphere of University Circle. Agassiz was recognized under
the Education category. For the past two years Agassiz students
have been immersed in the arts- being taught proper etiquette
about attire, how to sound, how to sit and when to applaud while
attending an orchestra concert. So they were more than prepared
to attend the Cleveland Orchestra concerts and behave like young
men and women. Great job Agassiz!
JFK Student Named
as Semi-Finalist
Congratulations to Jeffrey Robinson,
John F. Kennedy student, who was named a semi-finalist in the
State of Ohio’s “Letters About Literature” Contest. Jeffrey was
selected from over 1,267 students throughout Ohio. To earn this
honor, Jeffrey was required to write a personal response sharing
how a book that he read impacted him. JFK had a total of five
entries for their first time participating in the contest. Way
to go Jeffrey!
