In partnership with Strongsville Rotary, Mr. Rodak, Mrs. Leach, Mr. Stevens, and Mrs. Yutzy recently brought SMS students to the senior center to serve a holiday lunch to Strongsville seniors. The students also presented the seniors with handmade cards, practiced their conversational skills they learned in class, and cleaned up the lunch. It was wonderful to see the students so excited about engaging in conversations, taking responsibility for their assigned jobs, and working together to make this such a nice event for our community. Great job by our students in taking this opportunity to be a part of service learning and practicing the skills they are learning in class!

Mrs. Lewis, Elementary School Media Specialist, has purchased the book "The Gift of Words" by Peter Reynolds for each Elementary School's Media Center.

Mr. Higgins - Career Based Intervention (CBI) Teacher at SHS - took his students on an engaging and educational field trip focused on modern manufacturing, automation, and entrepreneurial thinking. Students explored a variety of hands-on experiences, including operating robotics equipment, trying a welding simulator, and learning how automated packaging systems function. They were introduced to programming concepts, automation pathways, entrepreneurial ideas tied to innovation, and even had the opportunity to experience holograms for the first time. Students also enjoyed interacting with MAGNET’s mascot rover, OTIS, which added a fun and memorable element to the visit. To conclude the day, freshmen and sophomores competed in an RC car–building challenge, with the freshmen earning a well-deserved victory. This experience provided valuable real-world insight into high-demand career fields while keeping students actively engaged and inspired.
