Teacher Appreciation Week, which begins today, is a time to recognize our teachers for their tireless work and their unwavering belief in all of their students and their abilities to succeed. The belief in the potential of all students – regardless of their circumstances – is what unites great teachers. Join us this week as we reflect on and thank our amazing teachers.

Congrats to Rowland 3rd grade teacher, Mr. Christopher Williams! Mr. Williams will be featured on Fox 8 on Monday, April 19. "Salute a Teacher" will be featured throughout the day. Fox 8 feels our teachers deserve a big shout out for their adaptability, creativity and amazing dedication during this pandemic. We couldn't agree more!

Congratulations to Brush seniors Lillie Alshiekhtaha and AJ Shorts on being named finalists for the Stop the Hate essay contest sponsored by the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage in collaboration with non-profit organization Lake Erie Ink. As finalists, both students were awarded a $1,000 scholarship.

Congrats to our 6 amazing cheerleaders who brought Brush their very first cheer competition win!!!  This is monumental for the cheerleaders, since they have never competed in competition before.

During the pandemic, we have lost so much. Performers have been hit especially hard, as theaters and performing venues have become ghost towns, with nothing on the horizon to allow for their reopening. We are grateful to our music teachers for finding creative ways to allow our students to continue to perform.
