Cuyahoga Heights honors students of the month; class officers outline fundraising plans
Summary
At the Oct. 15 Cuyahoga Heights Board meeting, the superintendent and staff recognized students of the month across grades and class officers described fundraising activities — including plant and T-shirt sales and a corn roast booth that netted more than $500 — to support prom and student groups.
Cuyahoga Heights — The board recognized a slate of students of the month at its Oct. 15 meeting, and junior-class officers outlined fundraising efforts to support prom and student organizations.
Superintendent Young introduced the recognition segment and asked Mr. Detre to present. Mr. Detre announced senior Maurice McLarty (absent due to work), 11th-grader Gianna Faulkner, 10th-grader Drayden "DJ" Whitlow, and freshman Vanessa Lehi Hashash, noting academic strengths and extracurricular participation such as swimming, track and orchestra.
Middle- and elementary-grade honorees included Maddie Melnick (eighth grade), Colin Chamberlain (seventh grade), and Arlo Darling (sixth grade), each recognized for classroom leadership, teamwork and demonstration of school values.
Junior-class officers Adam Grieve ("president, class of 2027") and Troy Dean (vice president) described multiple fundraisers the class uses to cover events such as prom. Grieve said the class carried a $3,000 balance into the year and organized five fundraisers, citing a plant sale, candy-bar sales, T-shirt sales and a calendar; the class also participated in a corn roast booth that "profited more than $500." Dean said the fundraising supports student-led activities and aims to create positive experiences for classmates.
The board thanked the students, advisors and officers for their presentations and accepted the activity purpose statements as part of the consent agenda.
Next steps: advisors and student officers will continue coordinating fundraisers and the district will maintain student-activity funds in separate cost centers for transparency.
