Pandemic Protocol
The safety and well-being of Heights Middle School Shorts campers, families, and staff are of utmost importance. We will continue to monitor Cuyahoga County and State of Ohio COVID-19 protocols and follow recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) to prevent the spread of the virus. If the situation dictates, we will adjust the camp to a virtual setting, rather than in person. If we must postpone the camp or change HMSS programming for any reason, we will inform all campers, families, and school partners of those changes as quickly as possible.

We love when our students join us on Audition Day! It’s fun and they get to see a lot of actors come through to be a part of their student led production!

Cleveland Heights Mayor, Jim Petras was one of the actors who stepped up and took on the role of a 1970ish gym teacher! Pretty cool for the kids to hang out with their Mayor!

WE’RE SOOOO EXCITEEEEDDDD…

Partnerships are important to Building Heights—and we’d be remiss if we didn’t shine a little light on our friend, Eden Marryshow

Eden is an award-winning director, writer, actor, author, and educator from Flatbush, Brooklyn, whose work continues to make its way onto film festival screens across the country.

We’re especially proud to have played a part in bringing his film, Canyoustandtherainmovie, to GCUFF 🎬 last year. That’s what partnership is all about—creating opportunities, opening doors, and celebrating great storytelling.

Now, we’re thrilled to welcome Eden to our 6th Annual Benefit on October 16, 2026, for an unforgettable evening of Hollywood Glam, film, community, and celebration.

And now… we’d love to see YOU on the red carpet.

Won’t you join him as we celebrate the incredible work of our students and the partnerships—old and new—that help make it all possible?

Tickets go on sale August 16- in 5 days!! 🎥🤩
