Redwood Students Use Creativity and Teamwork for Tower Build
The Innovation classes at K-4 elementary buildings in the Avon Lake City Schools provide students with an engaging learning environment where they can develop their creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and other real-world skills. At Redwood Elementary, students recently were inspired by the iconic Eiffel Tower to construct their own towers using dry spaghetti noodles, string, and Play-Doh! Working in groups, students learned about relevant concepts such as weight, support, and balance as they constructed their unique towers. The experience required teamwork, problem-solving, and leadership skills as students used trial and error to identify the best way to keep their towers from completely collapsing. Congratulations to our Redwood students for demonstrating persistence, creativity, and collaboration!
ALHS Key Club Honors the Heroes of September 11th
Students and staff in the Avon Lake City Schools commemorated the twenty-fifth anniversary of 9/11 in a number of meaningful ways. Our very own Avon Lake High School Key Club honored the heroes of September 11th, 2001, by placing a flag for every life lost along route 83 last Friday. Their touching act of remembrance was a powerful reminder that we are forever grateful for the firefighters, police officers, and everyday people and animals that showed their courage on this day.
