The end of the Third Quarter is Friday, March 25, 2022. There will be NO SCHOOL for students that day as teachers will be computing quarterly grades.

Key Club has been a busy group this year. We had a successful fundraiser for Wags4Kids - our annual Talent/Benefit show in October. We have been active in the community, even before the school year began, helping with Berea and Middleburg Heights Kiwanis Clubs. Key Clubbers stuffed shoe boxes for Christmas to help out Circle K - the BW Student group we are affiliated with and candy bags (over 800!) with Berea Kiwanis. We have helped hang flags in the community. We have participated in community celebrations such as the Berea Kiwanis 100 year celebration. We have officers engaged in both division (Ciara Bichara) and state levels (Ella Powell). We have fifty-two members and at least thirty show up each meeting and help with service projects.
