Our Goal
Our school began a 21st Century learning initiative this school year entitled "Entrepreneurs, Internships, and Careers" which focuses on parents and community leaders speaking to the grade 7 & 8 students. Our goal is to introduce these students to the outside world of careers that might be available to them in their future and spark their interest for high school and college courses. We have had two speakers thus far, Mrs. Kerri Salvino, who spoke on proper etiquette when speaking with people, how to conduct yourself in public, and how to write a resume that will attract the attention on an employer, along with the negatives of tattoos, and ear piercing. Mr. Fred Scott, Jr., Stark County assistant prosecutor, spoke about his career and what he does as a prosecutor. He explained that a prosecutor's main responsibility is to protect a community from dangerous criminals, a prosecutor also helps the people he or she prosecutes. The dangers of drugs and heroin in Stark county was discussed. It was a real eye-opener for the students.
