Revere board highlights student leadership, storm‑drain service project and CVCC students of the month

The Revere Board of Education on Dec. 9 recognized students from across the district for leadership, community engagement and career‑technical accomplishments.

Becky Delauder, a third‑grade teacher who presented on behalf of Bath Elementary, described a countywide environmental project with the Summit Soil and Water Conservation District outreach coordinator Abby Hu that taught students why storm drains matter. "Through this experience, students learn an important lesson about stormwater pollution, and that storm drains don't lead to a treatment plant necessarily, they drain directly into our rivers, streams, and lakes," Delauder said. She told the board her class scrubbed and labeled drains on school property to discourage dumping into storm systems.

The board also heard about middle‑school honorees Gabby Bertolotti, Harper Rainey and Levi Shenigo, whose teachers cited leadership, academic achievement and extracurricular involvement. A presenter for the middle school said the students ‘‘consistently demonstrate outstanding character’’ and highlighted examples such as leadership on academic teams and voluntary service in school activities.

The meeting included recognition of students participating at the Cuyahoga Valley Career Center (CVCC). The administration noted record numbers of Revere students attending CVCC programs and introduced Allison West (September student of the month) and Isabella "Izzy" Vondriska (October student of the month). The board noted CVCC programs — cosmetology, hospitality, machine technology and media arts — as pathways that give students hands‑on experience connected to careers.

The board did not take action on these recognitions. Presenters asked the community to celebrate student accomplishments and the district invited attendees to a small reception following the meeting.
