On October 22, 2009, HOPE Academy Chapelside Campus had a High School Fair in their gymnasium. The schools that participated included Cleveland Lutheran High School, Benedictine High School, Cleveland Central Catholic, St. Martin DePorres and local Blue Ribbon Schools. The goal of the High School Fair was for the students and parents to meet school representatives to determine what school would meet the students’ needs academically and socially. The parents and students were informed of open house and testing dates, along with tuition assistance information. The High School Fair was open to parents and students in grades 6-8.
Over 100 students and parents were in attendance for this event. The Council For Economic Opportunities In Greater Cleveland was also present to provide the families with Head Start information and Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) applications were available. The Scholastic Enrichment and Service Learning and Leadership students generously donated their time by making posters after school and encouraging students to participate in this event. The participants and guests had light refreshments, and thank you gifts for the school representatives were donated by Ms. Kristina Warstler and Mrs. Heather Sedlak, the coordinators of the Scholastic Enrichment and Service Learning Leadership students.
