Peer to Peer Program
On October 21, high school students involved with the P.E.A.T. peer-to-peer program had the exciting opportunity to instruct fifth and sixth-grade students in Mr. Scott’s health class with a lesson on prescription drug education. The P.E.A.T organization is a student-based, high school organization with an expressed goal of educating other students in the district about the harmful effects of drug abuse, using a unique, peer-to-peer model. Students teach students in order to reinforce information that is presented by classroom teachers in a traditional setting. The lesson took place in the 7th grade PBL Center at the middle school. Way to go, P.E.A.T. members, on your leadership, and special thanks to Mr. Scott and the Middle School students for their participation.

Campus Life
Campus Life is an organization focused on combining building healthy relationships with creative programs to help middle and high school young people make good choices, establish a solid foundation for life, and positively impact their schools. At Campus Life, we are focused on developing kids in all four core aspects of life (mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional). We aim to do that through mentoring students and facilitating character-based programs throughout the day and having after-school club with valuable life lessons, tons of fun games, and delicious free food. Campus Life is a branch of a faith-based organization that affirms the importance of youth having positive adult role models in their lives. Our staff and volunteers are committed to kids' well-being in every way, and therefore have national background checks, sexual abuse prevention training, and personal and professional references. Campus Life is a great place to learn, have fun, and build strong character. For more information, contact Ashley Tengler at (330) 241-7794 or atengler@campuslifecleveland.org.

Stadium Cleanup
Thank you to the 5th-grade team and students for organizing a giveback and a small campus community cleanup during Advisory time. Tackling the cleanup of the stadium grounds was a HUGE undertaking and is very much appreciated! Also, a big thank you to Mr. Durny for capturing the event on camera and turning it into a video.

Intramural Golf
The IMS Golf Club finished their season with a somewhat soggy day at Little Met. It was nice to see that a little rain wasn't going to stop us from getting a round in. Special thanks to all the parents/family members who joined us and to those who assisted with transportation. Looking forward to next season!

Our district is in desperate need of bus drivers and cafeteria subs. They are great jobs for a retiree or a parent that can be off when their child is off. Any interested, please contact Francine Kane at 216-642-5853 |
