Several characteristics of the book that took them to the top three include:

1. The book can be used to meet Ohio’s science or history standards

2. Maddie hand painted each page and included local and state landmarks

3. A multi-sensory approach was used by printing the book in braille, with the collaboration of the Cleveland Sight Center

4. Audio recording accompanied in CD format was on the back page for beginning braille readers

5. Additional activity page included for extension activities

6. Abbey and Maddie are looking to publish the book to assist with college tuition

7. A portion of the proceeds of the sale of the book will be donated to the Adopt an Animal Program to support animal care and conservation programs at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo

8. An eBook has been created

Congratulations to Abbey and Maddie on their exceptional work! Congratulations as well to Kayla Eber (pictured first from the left) and Emily Agnello (pictured last from the left) from Twinsburg High School for competing in the competition as well.

News Flash! CVCC Board of Education June 28, 2018

Summer Camp at CVCC CVCC wrapped up the Summer Camp two-week season for 2018 on Friday, June 22, 2018. This year, 340 campers enjoyed 23 different camps offered for students entering grades 5-10. The most popular camp was the Culinary Camps: Taste Buds in the Kitchen, for grades 5-7, and Chef for a Week, for grades 8-10. Other camps at or near full enrollment were Construction, Lego Robotics, Vex Robotics, Cosmetology and Movie Makers. CVCC instructors who led camps were, Tina DeSantis, Diane Ellis, Josephine Everhart, Kate Golden, Jami Little, April Moné, Marilyn Mormile, Kim Morton, Melissa Munro, Rich Parrott, Rick Pinkava, Bernie Van Tilburg, Lauren Visnick, and Paul Yuravak. CVCC staff members who were also camp counselors included, Stacey McNamara and Kim Schoeffler. CVCC substitute instructors who worked as camp counselors included, Laura DeSantis and Jessica Naylor. CVCC was also thrilled to have associate-district teachers serve as camp counselors as well; including, Jeff Cunningham from Garfield Heights High School, Mike Foor from Independence High School, and Jeff Rhodes from North Royalton Technology Education.

New for this year, CVCC high school students served as camp assistant employees, which included, Logan Diedrich from Programming and Software Development, Elana Felber from Teaching Professions, Ramone Hardy from Media Technology, Hannah Lundgren from Digital Design, Shannon McTighe from Construction Trades, Olivia Witt from Media Technology and Daniel Wohleber from Computer Networking Academy.

The Construction camp is always a popular choice, as 8-10 grade campers construct a full size Adirondack chair, which they take home on the last day of camp. Beautiful You and Cosmetology are also popular as campers learn many tools of the trade. Students in the Culinary camps get to taste their work and take home many creations, while Digitally Designed campers created their own books.

Field trips are always a highlight of the week; the Health Careers camp visited Cleveland Clinic Sports Health Center, CCC West and the Brecksville Fire Department. The Art and Design camp went to the Morgan Conservatory, the Culinary camps went to the Westside Market, along with neighboring businesses and Spice Acres in Brecksville, the Computer Technology camp spent time at OEConnection and Hyland Software, and the Manufacturing camp visited Hyson Metal Forming Solutions in Brecksville. A very special thank you to

Martha Sluka, CVCC’s Career and Community Resource Specialist, Sandra Leech, CVCC’s Administrative Assistant to Career and Community Resources, Diane Nemec, Communications and Information Technology Administrative Assistant, and Jill Larson, CVC Career Specialist for their countless hours of hard work and effort in making the Summer Camps run smoothly. What an exciting two weeks of engaged learning and fun!

Manufacturing Camp at CVCC For the first time, a Manufacturing Camp was offered this year as part of the CVCC Summer Camps from 8-10 grade students. The purpose of the camp was to give campers firsthand experience in working on the equipment in the CVCC Machine Technology lab and to spur an interest in the manufacturing field and CVCC’s High School program. Due to generous financial support for the camp provided by The Catherine L. and Edward A. Lozick Foundation and The Gene Haas Foundation, campers had reduced tuition for the week. Every associate school district was invited to select students to apply for the camp in a process that was coordinated by CVCC’s Career Specialists. CVCC had 16 campers participate overall.

CVCC instructors Rich Parrott, Machine Technology and Rick Pinkava, Engineering Technology provided campers with an engaging week as they completed their whistle project. Campers were also able to tour the Hyson Metal Forming Solutions Manufacturing Company in Brecksville. CVCC is so appreciative of the help from alumnus Chris Humphrey in providing this opportunity.

Campers enjoyed lunch daily purchased through local businesses, including, Angie’s Pizza in Independence, Giant Eagle and Tom & Chee in Broadview Heights, and Simon’s Restaurant & Delicatessen in Brecksville. They also received a Manufacturing Camp T-shirt featuring the whistle design.

This camp also grabbed the attention of local media outlets; make sure to catch the segment on Romona’s Kids on WOIO Channel 19 on Thursday, June 28, 2018 at 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. as well as at 9 p.m. on WUAB Channel 43. You will hear first-hand about the Manufacturing Camp experience from two campers and instructor, Rich Parrott! What an exciting and wonderful opportunity!

CVCC Work-Based Learning Update CVCC had 88 students participate in Work-Based Learning for the 2017-2018 school year. This includes Apprenticeships, Early Placement and Paid Internships. The majority of students that were on Early Placement worked four afternoons a week instead of attending classes at CVCC. Instructors received weekly time sheets and performance reports when the student returned to class each Monday. The goal of the program is to add to the students’ knowledge of their chosen field with actual hands-on work experience. Over half of the participants continue to work for their employers once they have completed their CVCC programs and graduated from high school.

As the labor market continues to tighten in Northeast Ohio, the number of employers who contact CVCC for assistance in filling their employment needs has increased. The CVCC Job Board found at http://www.cvccworks.edu/JobPostings.aspx had 545 postings this year verses 389 during the 2016/2017 school year, a forty percent increase. CVCC gets many local jobs daily so remember to look for your next opportunity! 2017/18 Staff Member of the Year On Wednesday, June 6, 2018, CVCC staff members celebrated the end of another successful school year at an End of the Year Breakfast. Superintendent Dave Mangas as well and Principal Mike Hall said some encouraging regards. Mr. Hall had the pleasure of announcing CVCC’s 2017/18 Staff Member of the Year, Dental Assisting instructor, Lisa Theodore. Lisa is an exceptional teacher and person, inspiring her students and fellow colleagues immensely. Congratulations on this very well deserved award, Lisa! Last Day of School/Junior Picnic The last day of school for CVCC’s high school students was Tuesday, June 5, 2018. What a nice day for CVCC’s annual picnic and to celebrate its student’s successes over the past school year. All students participated in a wonderful picnic lunch prepared by CVCC staff, along with the opportunity to partake in some fun activities that included, dancing, corn hole and organized basketball matches vs. other programs. CVCC wishes all students and staff a very happy and safe summer and looks forward to seeing everyone on Wednesday, August 22, 2018 when classes resume. 100% Club Perfect Attendance 2017-2018 -4th Quarter A total of 236 students achieved the 100% Club Award for the 4th quarter.
