Garfield Heights City Schools schedules May coffee talk and Maple Leaf centennial; reminds voters about Issue 20

A staff member from Garfield Heights City Schools announced a final “coffee talk” of the school year on Thursday, May 1, and said the district will host a centennial celebration and building tour at Maple Leaf Elementary School on Monday, May 5. The district also reminded voters that Issue 20 will appear on the May 6 ballot.

The staff member said the coffee talk will be at Holy Spirit Church and will begin at 10:00 a.m. District treasurer Oco and board members were listed as participants who have attended previous sessions; the district said it will resume the coffee talks next school year. No street address for Holy Spirit Church was specified in the transcript.

The centennial event at Maple Leaf Elementary School is scheduled from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on May 5. The district said alumni and other community members are invited to tour the building and watch students perform living-history demonstrations, with attendees asked to join in singing “Happy Birthday” to the building at 5:45 p.m. The district described Maple Leaf as an anchor in Garfield Heights for a century.

The district also reminded residents that Tuesday, May 6, is election day and that Garfield Heights City Schools has Issue 20 on the ballot; the transcript did not specify details of Issue 20.

There were no formal motions or votes reported in the transcript excerpt; the remarks were announcements and public reminders.
