Today is Down Syndrome Day. We're standing in unity for inclusiveness by wearing mismatch socks!

Don't forget to wear your PJs tomorrow for Hope Week!

Next week is Hope Week! To celebrate acceptance, kindness, & diversity, we will have a spirit week. This will run March 18-22!

Just a reminder!

We did it! With all sizes counted alike, we collected a whopping 1,173 cereal boxes to support Feeding Medina County! MHS student Maddy Kessler did a great job leading this project as an honoree of the Spring Leadership Ball!

We love our partnership with SPARK Medina ! They help us with our Deeper Learning by helping us connect with the community!

Thank You Ella Canavan Elementary School First Graders Ella Canavan Elementary PTO for making smile mail with us. Your beautiful postcards are going to bring big smiles 😀to a lot of senior citizens in our community! Our 1st grade friends learned loneliness and social isolation and what they can do to help make others feel less lonely. #canavanrocks #sparkmedina #changemakers #educate #Community #kindness #servicelearning

Way to go Ms. Barco!! What a great opportunity to continue to go above & beyond for your students!

Over 800 nominations sent in, narrowed down to 40 finalists, and then 12 winners selected (one from each Medina City School) based on votes from the Black Cat team.

Congratulations to the winning teachers! And thank you to everyone who shared a teacher's story. This was a tough decision, as Medina has so many great teachers. Our community is so lucky to have each and every one of you!
