Thank you to Lorain County Community College for welcoming Mrs. Heinrich's CCP162 class on 2/22/22 where they learned research strategies they will apply to their persuasive papers. They enjoyed the tour featuring some of the buildings, classrooms, and offices. A good way to spend Twos Day!

Panthers on the Prowl
Culture Club dining at Shintos Japanese hibachi in Westlake.

"I absolutely loved going to Shinto. It’s one of my favorite restaurants. It was so fun to be able to sit down and eat with my classmates. We had great conversations and tons of laughs. We were even lucky enough to get a hibachi table. It was so funny watching everyone try to catch food in their mouths. It made the experience 10 times more memorable! I love Culture Club because we get to learn about new cultures every month and try new restaurants. Everyone comes with an open mind and has a great time. We have a super group of people involved but we are always looking for more!" - Maddyn Corcoran '23

Parental Mental Health Tip of the Week:
Teach and reinforce positive behaviors and decision making. Provide consistent expectations and support. Teaching teens social skills, problem solving, and conflict resolution supports good mental health. "Catch" them being successful. Positive feedback validates and reinforces behaviors or accomplishments that are valued by others. Adapted from National Association of School Psychologists, "Supporting Children’s Mental Health: Tips for Parents and Educators".
