The SEL Schools’ review of Destination 2018, the District’s 5-Year Strategic Plan is presently underway, with group of community members, joined by staff members reviewing the components of the document that was created five years ago. After a kick-off meeting that took place in early March, groups of individuals were organized to expressly review the four areas-of-focus contained within the strategic plan, including Teaching and Instruction, Communications and Community Partnerships, School Community Climate and Facilities. The SEL Schools would like to thank the individuals who are currently volunteering their time to serve on the various sub-committees of the Strategic Planning review process.   

The SEL Schools proudly recognized the entire district Transportation Department as part of National Bus Driver Month in February.  As part of the 2018 Love the Bus Campaign, elementary students showed their appreciation by creating colored pictures that read “Love the Bus” to give to their respective bus driver. The Love the Bus Campaign was started in 2007 by The American School Bus Council to help raise awareness on the important role of the yellow school bus in education and to recognize the individuals who transport students each day.    

The SEL Schools hosted its first-ever Arc Elite Community Outreach Day yesterday, featuring Brush High School Alumnus, Roy Hall, who was an Ohio State University standout and played in the National Football League. The event was a day of inspiration and community outreach for students and staff members. Reading sessions took place throughout the district, motivational assemblies were held with Mr. Hall and nearly 10 other former Ohio State Buckeye or professional athletes and a charity basketball game was held in Welser Gymnasium. A community Bar-B-Q Dinner then took place in the Brush High School cafeteria.
