On Sept. 10, Actively Caring 4 People students in grades 8-12 attended the Gearity Elementary Food Pantry in Cleveland Heights to assemble over 350 parcels of fresh food for the community.

Students take part in this service opportunity every second Thursday of the month through April. Thank you to Heather Higham for providing this opportunity for our Hilltoppers to serve.

Additionally, thank you to Casey Ptasznik and Melissa Downs for serving as this month’s chaperones.

Last week, our Tiny Toppers preschool students completed their first safety fire drill of the school year. Both the AM and PM classes did a fantastic job!

This was the first time experiencing a safety drill for many of our Tiny Toppers. Prior to the drill, our staff explained what to expect and practiced stopping all activities, lining up and walking outside safely.

The young learners followed their directions perfectly when the drill began!
