My Students

Our sixth grade students firmly believe that if they want to learn, nothing can stop them! Students in the sixth grade are always on the prowl for exciting ways to extend their learning opportunities through online learning experiences!

Our school is a diverse learning center comprised of motivated 21st century learners!

Our students have benefited from a renovated building which still boasts original 19th century hardwood floors, high ceilings, spacious classrooms and hallways. Blending the old with the new, our building consists of a renovated learning wing and a new multipurpose room, cafeteria, and library. While many of our students stake a claim to Appalachian heritage, our diverse student population allows our students to enjoy the cultural richness found in Ohio's largest school district. Over 85% of our students are economically disadvantaged.

My Project

Our school is at the earliest stages of learning what it means to be a Leader in Me school. From the Leader in Me Website: "The Leader in Me is Franklin Covey’s whole school transformation process. It teaches 21st century leadership and life skills to students and creates a culture of student empowerment based on the idea that every child can be a leader. See Questions and Answers about The Leader in Me."

Our project seeks to fund suggested books that support the Seven Habits of a Leader in Me which includes: be proactive; begin with the end in mind; first things first; think win-win; seek first to understand then to be understood; synergy; sharpen the saw.

Thank you for your willingness to support our efforts! Character matters! We look forward to growing together!
