Reaching Heights, the Cleveland Heights-University Heights Public Schools Foundation, engages our citizens to help in the work of providing an excellent education to students in our district, an education that prepares them for college and adult life.
Our mission is to mobilize community resources to foster highly valued public schools that provide all Cleveland Heights-University Heights School District students a successful education.
Our work during the 2007-08 school year included programs like:
• Twenty-eight grants to teachers for $22,830. Three outstanding examples: We supported outdoor science education at Wiley Middle School, bought books with age-appropriate content for students reading below-grade level at Canterbury, and helped fuse art and technology for students at the Mosaic small school at Heights High.
• Heights Summer Music Camp. 85 middle schoolers who represent the future of musical excellence at Heights High enjoyed five days of fun and intensive instruction culminating in a concert. This was the camp’s fourth year.
• Many Villages Academic Tutoring. Parent and community tutors volunteered 239 hours of tutoring each week in seven schools to help students master learning objectives.
• Neighborhood Newsletters. More than 300 volunteers delivered a newsletter to every home in the district to share stories of excellence happening every day in our schools.
