Euclid High School teacher Mrs. Ott and her students have been working in partnership with Euclid's Family and Civic Engagement Team to achieve one goal: Tap into the numerous resources in the Euclid community to help students in need. The Technology for the Entrepreneur class created an online survey, to learn about student health and dietary habits. Mrs. Ott's students collected nearly 3,000 student responses from students in grades 1-12 and used a tool called Survey Monkey to compile results to share with the team. The Euclid City School district would like to thank Mrs. Ott and her students for their diligent work on this project.
In accordance with Ohio House Bill 1 the Euclid City School District has assembled a Family and Civic Engagement Team (FACET), which is representative of district employees, parents, students, businesses and faith-based communities. The team has decided to focus on health and wellness as a means of improving climate and, ultimately, student achievement. The team is holding monthly meetings to plan ways to improve the health and wellness of Euclid students and families by engaging resources available in our own community.
Current members of FACET include: Sherrie Zagorc (Kiddie City Child Care), Sheila Gibbons (Euclid Chamber of Commerce), Dave Carlson (Nationwide Insurance/Euclid Chamber of Commerce), Ericka Bolton (Moore Counseling), Dr. Neil Perko (Dr. Perko Optometrist), Courtney Nicolai (YMCA), Ken Clickenger (ECS), Kim Allen (ECS), John Reid (YMCA), Ann Coughlin (Euclid Hospital), Donna Sudar (Euclid Board of Education), Alisa Boles (Parent), John Copic (Euclid Observer), Father John Betters (Ss. Robert & William), John Schweitzer (ECS), Ted Lysiak (ECS).
The survey created by Mrs. Ott's students will form an integral part of the action plan put together to show a measurable improvement in the health and wellness of Euclid students. Thanks again to Lucy Ott and her students for all the hard work they put forth on this project.
